History

Answer:

The Battle of Antietam was fought on September 17, 1862, during the Civil War. The Commander-in-Chief of the Union was George B. McClellan, while Robert E. Lee was Commander-in-Chief of the Confederation. It was the bloodiest one-day battle in American history, with 22,717 dead.

The battle was fought at Sharpsburg and the Antietam Basin, west of the state of Maryland. Although McClellan had plenty of reserve forces that could be used to exploit local successes in the battle, he failed to destroy Lee's army. McClellan had halted Lee's invasion of the state of Maryland, but Lee managed to withdraw his forces to Virginia without interruption from the cautious McClellan. Although the battle was tactically ambiguous, Confederate forces initially withdrew from the battlefield. This made the battle, in military terminology, a Union victory. The victory was significant enough to give President Abraham Lincoln the confidence to announce his Emancipation Proclamation. This in turn led to the British and French governments departing from their plans for recognition of the Confederacy.

Mark the consequence if it is intentional. A. Spanish conquistadors bring their horses with them across the Atlantic. Some horse
Lina20 [59]

A. Spanish conquistadors bring their horses with them across the Atlantic. Some horses escape or swim to shore after a ship sinks. The Plains Indians become expert horsemen and buffalo hunters.

This was certainly not intentional since hardly the conquistadors would want their enemies to be stronger.

B. B. Rats are aboard European ships coming to the Americas. The rats spread disease and hunt unknown numbers of smaller animals to extinction.

This is hardly intentional. Rats were almost unavoidable back then and the Europeans just did not care much about them. They weren't thinking about how the rats would cause trouble in the Americas. They were "just rats".

So the only intentional one is:

C. Columbus brought pigs to the Americas on his second voyage. The pigs provided a valuable source of food for a growing population.

Columbus brought pigs for them to serve as food eventually and so they did.

They were treated like they didnt mean anything to anyone because they were slaves. If you were a slave you were treated like an animal. There was a woman named Harriet Tubman and she risked her life over and over again trying to help slaves escape.

How is this map different from a typical map of the united states? I need help fast please.
Art [367]
Apparently, all of the names on the map are Irish, so the map suggests that Irish immigrants may take over the United States by the 1900s.
You may well be right about people's fears that immigrants, lots of them from Ireland, would overrun the country. Look up when the potato famine was, though. The map may be from the early 1900s, but, if so, not about the potato famine in Ireland.
