British Blockades made it difficult for the US to trade with the central powers.
Hope I helped.
During 1803, Napoleon Bonaparte, who was the French ruler at that time, controlled the Louisiana Territory. President Jefferson believed that the French leader may be a threat to American trade and travel, so he decided to negotiate the Louisiana purchase. By doing so, the US would be able to use the Mississippi River and the Port of New Orleans more freely; both ports had been used by farmers to ship their crops and get paid. Jefferson was able to buy the Louisiana territory from France, since Napoleon Bonaparte needed money for the Great French War. As a result, with the purchase of this new territory, the land area of America nearly doubled.
- How can photos be used as alternate forms of argument?
It can be used as a visual proof to convince others about your point.
Argument often derived from personal conviction. This personal conviction often really hard to get rid off even if the oppositions provides a clear and logical argument to debunk it.
Visual proof often harder to deny since it can depict a certain situation in a more convincing way rather than personal recollection . Often times, this can be a lot stronger compared to trying to convince others simply by using words.
- Can a photo convince you to take a specific action or to think a certain way?
Absolutely.
For example, Let's say that you hear 2 people arguing in the court. Person A accused person B for killing person C at December 12th. Person B denied the accusation.
At this point, you probably not really sure who's in the right.
But, let's say that<u> person B showed a photo that proved he is actually in another city</u> on December 12th and it is impossible for him to be at the crime scene on the time of person C attack.
That photo could easily win the argument in person B's favor and convince others who witness it that he is telling the truth.
Can you take a clearer pic please
