Why was New York City so difficult to defend against a British invasion? It had no established fortifications. It was surrounded

by water. It was difficult to maintain troops' attention in the city. Most colonists there were hostile to the rebellion.

Answer: It is surrounded by water on three sides. The royal navy was nothing to be messed with back then ( Still should not be taken lightly today)  This leaves the city to bombardment by cannons. If the citizens withdrew they would pretty much let the british in, if they stayed they risk being crushed or injured by cannon.

Write a one-paragraph summary that explains the impact or effects of the Holocaust on the Jewish population.
bazaltina [42]
Racial discrimination against Jews in lands controlled by the Nazis was not only rampant, but supported by the government. After repeated and prolonged harassment and abuse from the Nazis, Jews were piled into trains by the thousands and sent to concentration camps. As Jews were forced into the camps, they were stripped of their belongings, and clothes. Wedding bands were wrung from their hands, and even gold teeth were pulled from their mouths. These valuables, were taken by the Nazis. But are nothing compared to the humanity and innocence taken from the Jewish people. The Holocaust remains one of the darkest moments in Human history. These atrocities shaped an entire generation of the Jewish people. This event illustrates the animosity and the hate held by the Nazis towards the Jewish people, as well as mans capability to do evil. Forever burned into history. The Holocaust and its 11 million+ deaths will never be forgotten, and the persons involved will be embedded into Humanities memory.
