Answer:
Blockade of the southern ports was an important war times strategy of the North during the Civil War.
Explanation:
Northern forces organized a blockade of Confederate ports to prevent cotton exports and war material from smuggling into the Confederacy. It was a significant economic strategy that effectively prevented Confederate access to arms that could be manufactured by the industrialized north itself. Despite the economic loss Britain and France remained neutral and therefore the international concern was not an issue anymore in the war.
Answer:
blind
Explanation:
To quantify the extent of atherosclerosis, each pathologist looked at every autopsy specimen and assigned a score. To keep the pathologists from knowing the source of the tissues beforehand, the study was <u>blind</u> to the pathologists.
Atherosclerosis is a disease resulting from the build up of fats around the arteries which could cause blood flow restriction or even bursting of the artery resulting in hemorrhage. It is more common in obesed individuals.
The advantage of blinding the pathologist from knowing the source of the tissues is to increase objectivity in their analysis and remove any form of biased judgement based on the source of the tissue. For example, if the pathologist is aware that the source of the tissue is from an extremely obese man, he/she may likely give it a higher score.
The Senate has a number of powers which the House of Representatives (or any other institution) does not have.

- confirming appointments of a number of officials, such as the ambassadors, military officers, federal judges
-trying government officials if they were impeached by the House
Answer:
You can argue both ways, but here are a few reasons for each:
Benefit:
- Introduced foreign crops and animals that hadn't been previously existing
- Sparked an economy and trading routes between Europe and the Americas
- Because of the introduction of cash crops to the Americans, the American agricultural industry was becoming a big part of the economy
Became a detriment:
- Alongside the crops and animals being brought over, many diseases traveled and made their way into America, killing a generous amount of people
- Malaria was one of the major diseases brought over
- The Colombian Exchange was also bringing settlers into the Americas which pushed out the preexisting Native settlers; this led to many major conflicts down the road
