There are a lot of myths about the $2.00 bill. Some believe that there are so few of the bill made because John Hanson (1791-?), a black Liberian senator, is portrayed on the back of the bill. Evidence suggests that this John Hanson is portrayed on the back of the bill, but is not the same as the John Hanson  (1721-1783) that is a presiding officer of the Continental Congress. Supposedly, the John Hanson from the Continental Congress is from an earlier era than the black Liberian senator. John Hanson, the black Liberian senator" is believed to be portrayed on the $2 bill because it wasn't commercially introduced until 1839. This cannot be proven because there are strong claims to both sides of the argument. However, in the original painting, there is no black man.

Ann [662]

Answer:

On April 24,1898, Spain declared war on the U.S. Goals during the war were to end Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and U.S expansion into the western pacific and Latin American territories. The U.S won because of their large, skilled army and naval forces and the Spanish surrendered.

Explanation:

During the late 1800s, there were three main causes of the Spanish-American War, each one pushing the U.S to declare war.  These causes are Cuba wanting their independence from Spain.  The growing American imperialism and the sinking of the battleship the Maine were also cause of the war. American Imperialism was another cause of the United States becoming involved in the war.   The imperialism was supported by the Manifest Destiny, which is “a belief that territorial expansion by the United States was both inevitable and divinely ordained.

choose a topic based on what you read in act 2 or act 3 of romeo and juliet. then write a thesis statement.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

In Act II, Scene III, of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo visits Friar Lawrence and declares his love for Juliet. He then asks the Friar if he will marry them:

I’ll tell thee as we pass, but this I pray:

That thou consent to marry us today.

The Friar is shocked that Romeo wants to marry Juliet because he claimed to be madly in love with Rosaline, a silent character in the play. In fact, Romeo was quite love-sick and it was the Friar who tried to convince Romeo to let Rosaline go because she did not reciprocate his feelings. The Friar then goes on to scold Romeo because he did not want him to abandon his love for Rosaline only to go on to fall in love with another woman. However, when he realizes that Romeo is serious about Juliet and that she reciprocates his feelings, he agrees to marry them. He also recognizes that this marriage is an opportunity for the two warring families to be reconciled:

For this alliance may so happy prove

To turn your households' rancor to pure love
