History

ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The main purpose of the Sugar Act of 1764 was to raise taxes on sugar.

Explanation:

The Sugar Act was sanctioned on April 5, 1764 by the English Parliament. This law replaced the Molasses Act by halving the taxes levied on molasses, but by imposing new additional taxes on sugar, and aimed at an end to smuggling and to protect English farmers based in the West Indies and for the government to win more money on sugar, which was indispensable at this time. It taxed the sugar that entered the United States of America and was not bought from the English Antilles.

The aim of the sugar law was to encourage settlers to consume only sugar directly from the English. It raised the taxes that settlers had to pay on molasses, wine, coffee, silk, white clothes, luxury goods, and linen in their ports.

Which of the following was NOT a reason for United States expansion between 1880 and 1914?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Letter A is correct. Many are the reasons that led to the United States expansion, but the desire to extend Christianity was not one of them. The U.S expanded westward across North America, initially as part of 'Manifest Destiny', but also as an outlet for their growing population. They also wanted an overseas empire like the other major western powers at the time (such as Britain and France). And, that included new markets and sources of revenue along with a more proeminent position on the world stage.

Zealots

Explanation:

  • The Zealots were radical groups of Jewish patriots, who had been active in Judea and Galilee since the beginning of the 1st Century.
  • Today, the name "zealot" refers to fervent supporters of some doctrine, religious or political group, who fanatically work for the cause to which they are loyal.
  • Jewish zealots fought against Roman rule by organizing guerrilla detachments and inciting uprisings in cities. The most radical of them also organized the killings, which targeted not only Roman officials but also their allies among Jews.
  • The various groups of zealots often clashed with each other and accounted for cruel methods in the struggle for domination. When they conquered the region, they used cruel terror not only against Roman allies, but also against the wicked and those who condemned the armed rebellion.
