History
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Belief in the supernatural-and specifically in the devil's practice of giving certain humans (witches) the power to harm others in return for their loyalty-had emerged in Europe as early as the 14th century, and was widespread in colonial New England. In addition, the harsh realities of life in the rural Puritan community of Salem Village (present-day Danvers, Massachusetts) at the time included the after-effects of a British war with France in the American colonies in 1689, a recent smallpox epidemic, fears of attacks from neighboring Native American tribes and a longstanding rivalry with the more affluent community of Salem Town (present-day Salem). Amid these simmering tensions, the Salem witch trials would be

fueled by residents' suspicions of and resentment toward their neighbors, as well as their fear of outsiders.

How is the free soil party different from the know nothing party?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

The Know-Nothing Party was established in 1850.

In July of 1844, riots broke out in the city of Philadelphia. Nativists battled Irish immigrants which resulted up to two Catholic churches and a Catholic school being burned down.

The Know-Nothing Party was was an outgrowth of the strong anti-immigrant people.

In 1843, The Know-Nothings formed the American Republic Party.

1854 they had allied themselves with groups within another political party called the Whigs.

In 1855, The Know-Nothings dropped much of their secrecy and became known as the American Party.

FREE-SOILER PARTY

The Free-Soiler Party was a short political party in the US during 1848-1852 presidential elections

It was the 3rd largest party that grew it's greatest strength from New York.

The party leadership consisted of former anti-slavery members of the Whig Party and the Democratic Party.

Its main purpose was opposing the expansion of slavery into the western territories, arguing that free men on free soil comprised a morally and economically superior system to slavery.

Its presidential nominee in 1848, Martin Van Buren, received 291,616 votes against Zachary Taylor of the Whigs and Lewis Cass of the Democrats, but Van Buren received no electoral votes. The Party's "spoiler" effect in 1848 may have put Zachary Taylor into office in a narrowly-contested election.

The Compromise of 1850 temporarily neutralized the issue of slavery and undercut the party's no-compromise position. Most Barnburners returned to the Democratic party, and the Free Soil Party became dominated by ardent anti-slavery leaders.

The Free Soil Party was a notable third party. More successful than most, it sent two Senators and fourteen Representatives to the thirty-first Congress, which convened from March 4, 1849 to March 3, 1851.

How did the American Revolution cause the French Revolution?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:Since the French decided to join the American side as an ally during the American Revolutionary War, they send a bunch of resources, man power(aka soldiers) and more to help their side (they also send Lafayette). Due to all of this, the Americans failed to pay back the debt to France in a short period of time(because their country just started and they need to organize everything), causing French to need to raise the taxes on the common people in their land, making life hard (because they need to feed mouths and their wages aren’t high) and forcing them to start a revolution (poor king that helped the Americans, he got his head chopped up for it).

There are more reasons but this is all I can think of for now.
