Answer:
The pre-Enlightenment world was simultaneously both fascinating and frightening. People often had no choice but to rely on their imaginations to make sense of the myriad phenomena around them. The result was a world where everything seemed magical; a place teeming with angels, demons, fairies, and witches. Only through uncanny and sometimes ‘ridiculous’ superstitions did many people of the Dark Ages (or Middle Ages or Medieval Period) in Europe try to make sense of their world.
Explanation:
B. Children had to face labor and adults worked long hours with bad conditions
b. power was divided among three branches of government.
The Constitution requires that state constitutions maintain a republican form of government and therefore the states followed the three branch model set by the federal government.
The Constitution gave specific and implied powers to the states. To run the business of each state, they created state constitutions to organize their state system. Each state took on the three branch system to organize their state government. The executive branch has a governor as the state leader. The legislative branch in most states is also bicameral or has two houses mimicking the federal Congress. Lastly, the states created a judicial branch with a state supreme court with county and city court houses to support the local levels of the judicial branch.
The basic cause of the growth of conflict was tension
between the British need for revenues and the American desire for independence.
Before the French and Indian War, the American colonies had been left more or
less to themselves. During this period, they got used to having relative
autonomy and came to see it as a right. At the same time, the colonies were increasing
in population and economic strength and becoming less dependent on the mother
country.
After the war, the British needed funds to pay for the war
and other costs of empire. They felt the Americans should help to pay so they
imposed taxes and tried to increase British control of the colonies to ensure
smooth flow of revenues. This need came into conflict with the expectations the
colonists had built over the years.
Answer:
Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox Courthouse after Lee recognized the futility of continued fighting.
Explanation:
The Battle of Appomattox Court House was fought on April 9, 1865, between Union Army forces commanded by general Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate forces led by general Robert E. Lee.
Lee abandoned Richmond, Virginia (the Confederate capital) and moved west, hoping to regroup with other remanining Confederate units in North Carolina. However, Union forces pursued the Lee army and engaged it at Appomattox Court House. Lee charged the Union lines but, as he broke their line, he saw that further Union forces vastly outnumbering the Confederate army were advancing to join the battle. <u>Upon realizing the futility of his situation</u>, general Lee famously declared: "There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths".
Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant that same day, which eventually led to a domino effect with other Confederate armies surrendering shortly after. The Civil War formally ended on May 9, 1865.
