Explanation:
Before Washington and his troops left, Benjamin Rush came to cheer up the general. While he was there, he saw a note Washington had written, saying, "Victory or Death". Those words would be the password for the surprise attack. Each soldier carried 60 rounds of ammunition, and three days of rations.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The song "Oxford Town" was composed and sung by Bob Dylan in 1962. Though this song was originally about the James Meredith case, Dylan later commented that "<em>It deals with the Meredith case, but then again it doesn't... I wrote that when it happened, and I could have written that yesterday. It's still the same</em>".
The James Meredith case is one that rocked the whole nation. James Meredith was qualified to attend the University of Mississippi but since he was the first black man to be enrolled in the university, he wasn't given admission. He took the matter to court, leading the government to support him. At that time, the racial case of blacks versus white was a dominating and burning issue. This new case compelled the government to agree with the black man, leading to the blacks growing more confident of their fight for equality.
And with the increased interest and popularity of his case, James Meredith had to go for his classes accompanied by the National Guard. The racial controversy over a black man attending an all white university did not seem to go well with the white men who organized riots and demonstrations. This led to massive protests, resulting in the death of two people. The result was the deployment of the military by the government.
