Wedding rings have been exchanged in marriage ceremonies since the Ancient Egyptians.  The Egyptians believed that the circle was the symbol of eternity.  The Romans continued the tradition and believed that the ring symbolized fidelity and was associated with the dowry.  An alternative in the United States that is becoming popular is having a tattoo on your left ring finger.  This is not a widespread custom around the world.

1. How did the United States assert itself as an independent nation?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The United States asserted itself as an independent nation was through the adoption of the Monroe Doctrine. This doctrine came after its independence from the British and was a warning to other European countries to stop their interference in the country.

This was a major statement of the United States to the rest of the world in it being strong enough to make decisions which are in the best interest of the country.
