Northerners_____ counting slaves as part of the population if they had no rights, while southerners _____ counting slaves. Accor
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Northerners opposed counting slaves as part of the population if they had no rights, while southerners supported counting slaves. According to the compromise, five slaves would count as three free persons when calculating how many representatives each state received in the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise established during the 1787 Philadelphia Convention between the colonies of the North and the South. This compromise considered, in the rules for counting people represented in the House of Representatives, that a slave was counted up to three fifths of a free man.  

The question was important, as the population count would then be used to determine the number of seats each state would have in the US House of Representatives. The Compromise gave a disproportionate representation of the slave states in the House of Representatives compared to the voters in the free states until the Civil War.

What was the main source of contention leading up to the French and Indian war?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The French and Indian War was the North American conflict that was part of a larger imperial conflict between Great Britain and France known as the Seven Years' War. The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American revolution.

The French and Indian War resulted from ongoing frontier tensions in North America as both French and British imperial officials and colonists sought to extend each country's sphere of influence in frontier regions. In North America, the war pitted France, French colonists, and their Native allies against Great Britain, the Anglo-American colonists and the Iroquois Confederacy, which controlled most of upstate New York and parts of northern Pennsylvania. In 1753, prior to the outbreak of hostilities, Great Britain controlled the 13 colonies up to the Appalachian Mountains, but beyond lay New France, a very large, sparsely settled colony that stretched from Louisiana through the Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes to Canada. (See Incidents Leading up to the French and Indian War and Albany Plan)

The border between French and British possessions was not well defined, and one disputed territory was the upper Ohio River valley. The French had constructed a number of forts in this region in an attempt to strengthen their claim on the territory. British colonial forces, led by lieutenant colonel George Washington, attempted to expel the French in 1754, but were outnumbered and defeated by the French. When news of Washington's failure reached British Prime Minister Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle, he called for a quick undeclared retaliatory strike. However, his adversaries in the Cabinet outmaneuvered him by making the plans public, thus alerting the French Government and escalating a distant frontier skirmish into a full-scale war.

The war did not begin well for the British. The British Government sent General Edward Braddock to the colonies as commander in chief of British North American forces, but he alienated potential Indian allies and colonial leaders failed to cooperate with him. On July 13, 1755 Braddock himself died while on a failed expedition to capture Fort Duquesne in present-day Pittsburgh, after being mortally wounded in an ambush. The war in North America settled into a stalemate for the next several years, while in Europe the French scored an important naval victory and captured the British possession of Minorca in the Mediterranean in 1756. However, after 1757 the war began to turn in favor of Great Britain. British forces defeated French forces in India, and in 1759 British armies invaded and conquered Canada.

How was the Estates-General useful in uniting France under one national identity?
Sliva [168]
The Estates-General was established in 1789 by King Philip IV of France as a collective group of nobles, clergymen, and commoners to unite France as a single national unity. They served together as a single legislative body of the French Government. All social classes were given equal voting rights and rights to enforce taxation laws. As a result, privileges were not reserved exclusively for the wealthy people. The establishment of Estates-General was one of the reasons for the French Revolution.

Which example best illustrates education reform in the mid-1800's
oksian1 [2.3K]
<span>During the later part of the 1880s many governments had begun to establish public schools for educational services to children. Although somewhat basic in physical structure and combining different grades, schools taught reading, writing and mathematics. However, as opposed to home teaching by parents that themselves were not highly educated, the public schools were formal and structured. After establishing elementary schools, the government also expanded to high schools.</span>
