Why did southern senators initially block the organization of the Kansas and Nebraska territories

History

Answer:

The correct answer is D- they were afraid the admission of new free states would tip the balance.

Southern senators were concerned in terms of representation in Congress. In this case, Southern states did not want to add Kansas and Nebraska as states because the Missouri Compromise stated that these two territories would be free states if they entered the Union. This was bad for Southern senators, as it would mean more members of Congress who may be opposed to the idea of slavery and may try to get rid of it. This is what is meant by "tipping the balance." Southerners were worried that there would be more Congressmen against the institution of slavery, who could use their political power to get rid of the institution altogether.

A small skirmish took place in a tiny town in New England named St.Albans. In which state would you find St.Albans?
diamong [38]

The correct answer is Vermont.

St. Albans is located in the Northwest Corner of the State of Vermont, close to the Canadian border.

In 1864, Confederate troops raided the town as a way to try to get the Union to divert troops to their northern border.

The Raid in St. Albans is the northernmost conflict in the Civil War.

To better tell a story or emphasize a point, authors sometimes use allusions that involve references to myths, classical, or traditional texts. Mythology, classic literature, and traditional literature are all types of literary genres. Allusions are an important part of understanding literature because they give us a deeper understanding of an author’s message. An author can skillfully draw upon allusions to give a story, poem, play, or other literary form more meaning or to provide clues about an author’s message.

You’re probably familiar with Greek and Roman myths. The Greeks and Romans had many gods and goddesses in common, but the Roman name often differed from the Greek name. Gods and goddesses from Roman and Greek mythology are often alluded to in other pieces of literature. For this reason, it’s nice to know about Roman and Greek mythology as you read more difficult texts in high school.

Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, for example, is chock full of allusions to gods and goddesses. For example, in Act I, Scene 4, Mercutio tells Romeo to “Take Cupid’s wings and fly higher than the average man.” And Romeo responds with “His (meaning Cupid’s) arrow has pierced me too deeply, so I can’t fly high with his cheerful feathers.” In Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of desire, affection, and love. Even though Mercutio has encouraged Romeo to dance like a man in love—like the winged Cupid—Romeo responds that he can't because he’s so much in love that it's weighing him down and making him unhappy.

How is energy from uranium harnessed for nuclear power
klemol [59]

<u>Energy from uranium harnessed for nuclear power:</u>

Nuclear power is generated by the process of Fission. The nuclear energy is generated by splitting the atoms of uranium which creates a lot of heat which produces steam and the pressure from the steam is used by a turbine generator to create electricity.

This is how uranium is harnessed for nuclear power. The uranium fuel is arranged in such a manner that a fission chain reaction can take place the atoms can be broken down. The heat produced spins the turbine and the generator gains power.
