The money and goods involved in a marriage are called <u>dowry</u>. The basic purpose of a dowry has been to bring some protection for the wife against violence and abuse by her husband and his family. Also, the dowry may serve to help the new couple to establish a home. This was more common in societies where the marriage of very young people has been arranged. Also, a dowry provides the wife with the resources in case of her man's death.
In the Middle Ages, the dowry had the function to enhance the value of a woman for marriage and increase power and wealth of great families. Dowries virtually disappeared in Europe in the XIX and XX century.
Answer:
<u>(2) development of unified resistance movements among the Native Americans</u>
Explanation:
Because of the European way of using the land and limited food sources, mass migration to North America created tension between the invaders and the natives. Canadian historian Jan K. Style explains that there were 30,000 Narragansett in Massachusetts in the 17th century. Their chief , "sensing danger ... sought to expand his alliance with the Mohicans to create a general Indian resistance movement.
His efforts to form a united Native American front have failed. In 1643, in a tribal war, he was captured by the chief of the Mohegan tribe, who handed him over to the English as a rebel.
This illustrates not only the ongoing clashes between the invading colonists and the indigenous population, but also the murderous rivalry and treachery among the tribes, which existed even before the white man arrived in North America at all. The British, in their wars against the French for colonial domination of North America, had some tribes on their side, while others supported the French. No matter which side lost, all the tribes involved paid a losing price.

Answer:
Santa Ana was caught on April 22, 1836 (the day after the Battle of San Jacinto). At the beginning of the battle he had disappeared on a horse and was found in the grass dressed as a common soldier. Some people say he was dressed as a woman however this is believed to be a myth. He was brought to Sam Houston, the leader of the Texas military, who had been injured in the ankle by a musket ball. Many Texans wished to see him hanged after what he did at the Alamo and Goliad (there were no Texan survivors at these). Houston decided he should be kept alive so he could sign the Treaties at Velasco, the treaties that would give Texas freedom from Mexico. These treaties also granted Santa Anna life. Because the Texans were so hungry for revenge, Santa Ana was released in the United States. Years later, while Texas was seeking annexation to the United States, Santa Anna became the dictator of Mexico again. He attempted to take Texas back (as Mexico renounced the Treaties at Velasco) however he was unsuccessful. He died in Mexico City, June 21, 1876.
