Answer:

C. Maggie Lena Walker.

Explanation:

Maggie Lena Walker was born on 15th July, 1864, Virginia to Elizabeth Draper, a former slave, and Eccles Cuthbert, an Irish American confederate soldier. She grew up in the estate of Elizabeth Van Lew whom her mother worked for. There Walker learned about freedom, equality and civil rights.

From a very young age, Walker joined a local council called the Independent Order of St. Luke that worked for the upliftment of the African-American communities. She served the council for the rest of her life.

After her graduation in 1883, she joined as a teacher at Lancaster School, her former childhood school, and worked there for three years. Then after years of studying accounting at night and withdrawing inspiration from Order of St. Luke, Walker established the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank in 1903.

During the war 1812, this city was Britain’s capital in North America
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The Burning of Washington was a British invasion of Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, during the War of 1812. On August 24, 1814, after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, a British force led by Major General Robert Ross burned down multiple buildings, including the White House (then called the Presidential Mansion), the Capitol building, as well as other facilities of the U.S. government.[3] The attack was in part a retaliation for the recent American destruction of Port Dover in Upper Canada. The Burning of Washington marks the only time since the American Revolutionary War that a foreign power has captured and occupied the United States capital.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The idea that humans evolved in Africa can be traced to Charles Darwin. In his 1871 book The Descent of Man, Darwin speculated that it was “probable” that Africa was the cradle of humans because our two closest living relatives—chimpanzees and gorillas—live there.
