On September 5, 1774, delegates from each of the 13 colonies except for Georgia (which was fighting a Native-American uprising and was dependent on the British for military supplies) met in Philadelphia as the First Continental Congress to organize colonial resistance to Parliament’s Coercive Acts. The delegates included a number of future luminaries, such as future presidents John Adams (1735-1826) of Massachusetts and George Washington (1732-99) of Virginia, and future U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice and diplomat John Jay (1745-1829) of New York. The Congress was structured with emphasis on the equality of participants, and to promote free debate. After much discussion, the Congress issued a Declaration of Rights, affirming its loyalty to the British Crown but disputing the British Parliament’s right to tax it. The Congress also passed the Articles of Association, which called on the colonies to stop importing goods from the British Isles beginning on December 1, 1774, if the Coercive Acts were not repealed. Should Britain fail to redress the colonists’ grievances in a timely manner, the Congress declared, then it would reconvene on May 10, 1775, and the colonies would cease to export goods to Britain on September 10, 1775. After proclaiming these measures, the First Continental Congress disbanded on October 26, 1774.

What are the people doing in the engraving?
ella [17]

Answer: people used engraving to honor their gods and rulers.

Explanation:

In ancient times, as in modern times,  Evidence of stone carvings found in the Serengeti Plains of Africa has proven that ancient man worked with stone as long as 500,000 years ago. Statuettes of fertility goddesses, such as the famous Venus of Willendorf (discovered in Willendorf, Austria), have an estimated creation date of between 40,000–15,000 BC.

    Beautifully carved gemstones, known as cameos, have been found in Egypt and Rome. The art of cameo cutting peaked in Rome in the first centuries before and after Christ. Untold thousands of cameos were carved, many bearing the likenesses of ancient leaders, such as Alexander the Great and the Roman historian and scholar Pliny the Elder.

    People also used engraving in ancient times to signify wealth. Beginning in about 3000 BC, Sumerian and Hittite carvers began engraving “seals.” These cylindrical ornaments were often made of gemstones such as soapstone and lapis lazuli, and were carved with intricate designs and cuneiform writings. It’s likely that most wealthy individuals in those times owned at least one of these seals.

What did the Treaty of New York, Treaty of Fort Jackson, and Treaty of Indian Springs have in common? The Creeks gave up land in
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The Creeks gave up land in exchange for money and protection, but the US government did little to stop settlers from pushing west.

Explanation:

The fight for land and belonging has been a constant source of discontentment between the Native Indians and the American government. The Creeks were one such native people who, like every other Native Indian, had to suffer at the hands of the United States government and try to find peaceful ways for them to have their own reservations.

But while there are numerous wars fought between the two, there are also numerous treaties signed to try to maintain peace and cordial relations. The <u>Treaty of New York (1790), the Treaty of Fort Jackson (1814), and the Treaty of Indian Springs (1825)</u> were some of the treaties signed between the two parties. And<u> one common factor of these treaties is that the Creeks were made to cede their lands in exchange for some money and protection from the government</u>. But while the Native Indians kept their part of the agreement, the<u> U. S. Government did not do much to keep their part and did not stop the flow of settlers</u> in the areas of the Native Indians.

I NEED HELP ASAP!! I need a paragraph on Greek literature for my word document.
umka2103 [35]
Greek literature focused mainly on mythology, science, math, and philosophy. Many famous philosophical stories came from the Greeks and Romans. For example plato and Socrates. There was also a lot of important scientific discovery’s in that time! Such as Aristotle who founded zoology!
So most of Greek literature was focused on three things, education, religion, and philosophy.

I hope this is helpful!
