What was the main reason behind the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857?

History

The main reason behind the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857 is actually multifaceted. The direct cause was a change in the use of the weapons Britain provided to Indian sepoys, basically soldiers fighting for the British. The British began to implement a new kind of grease for their guns that was cheaper than the previous grease. However, this grease was a combination of pig fat and cow fat. In order to open these packets of grease, one had to use their teeth. Remember that India's major religions at the time were Hindu and Islam. The Hindu sepoys were appalled by the notion that they would use the sacred cow, and the Muslim sepoys refused to bite open the packets because pork is taboo to them. This whole incident combined with general resentment towards British rule of India, and the fighting began.

In at least one hundred words, describe three or more reminisces used by Addams in Chapter 2 of Twenty Years at Hull House" and
nadya68 [22]
In Twenty Years at Hull-House, Jane Addams tells of the poverty and abuses that existed during the Industrial Revolution in the United States. The book includes eighteen chapters, illustrations, an index, and photographs. Addams begins with some personal background. She was a sickly child, and she was greatly influenced by her wealthy father, a strong admirer and supporter of Abraham Lincoln. Addams attended all-female Rockford College and left there determined to study medicine and help the poor. Her ill health returned, however, and she was unable to complete her medical studies. Her desire to help the poor remained. She spent several years traveling in the United States and Europe, where she was introduced to poverty and suffering in many places. She lived for a time in London, among the needy and suffering.
Upon her return to the United States, she and Ellen Starr founded Hull-House in the slums of Chicago in January, 1889. The search for the perfect location was lengthy, and Hull-House was named for the original owner of the large home.
The rest of the book details the activities of Addams and the people who inhabited and relied upon Hull-House. Addams was an active lecturer, and there are many quotes from her writings and lectures in the book. She concentrated not on the day-to-day running of Hull-House but on the larger issues of the times. Hull-House founded a kindergarten and day nursery.

How many electors does each state receive in the Electoral college? Why? ​
nignag [31]

Answer:

A state's number of electors equals the number of representatives plus two electors for the senators the state has in the United States Congress.

Explanation:

The Electoral College is the process by which the states and District of Columbia elect the president of the United States. Each state is represented by a number of electors equal to the size of its congressional delegation. There are 538 electors in total. To win the Electoral College, a candidate must receive a majority at least 270 electoral votes

The Electoral College will meet in mid-December to cast their votes after the general election on November 3, 2020. Although there is no constitutional provision or federal law requiring electors to vote in accordance with the election results in their state, electors typically vote for their state's popular vote winner. Some states have provisions permitting the disqualification and replacement of an elector whose vote deviates from the state's popular vote.
