Question 1 (Worth 5 points) [MC] The Pony Express Chapter I At A Nation's Crisis The fall of Fort Sumter in April, 1861, did not produce the Civil War crisis. For many months, the gigantic struggle then imminent had been painfully discernible to far-seeing men. In 1858, Lincoln had forewarned the country in his "House Divided" speech. As early as the beginning of the year 1860 the Union had been plainly in jeopardy. Early in February of that momentous year, Jefferson Davis, on behalf of the South, had introduced his famous resolutions in the Senate of the United States. This document was the ultimatum of the dissatisfied slave-holding commonwealths. It demanded that Congress should protect slavery throughout the domain of the United States. The territories, it declared, were the common property of the states of the Union and hence open to the citizens of all states with all their personal possessions. The Northern states, furthermore, were no longer to interfere with the working of the Fugitive Slave Act. They must repeal their Personal Liberty laws and respect the Dred Scott Decision of the Federal Supreme Court. Neither in their own legislatures nor in Congress should they trespass upon the right of the South to regulate slavery as it best saw fit. These resolutions, demanding in effect that slavery be thus safeguarded—almost to the extent of introducing it into the free states—really foreshadowed the Democratic platform of 1860 which led to the great split in that party, the victory of the Republicans under Lincoln, the subsequent secession of the more radical southern states, and finally the Civil War, for it was inevitable that the North, when once aroused, would bitterly resent such pro-slavery demands. And this great crisis was only the bursting into flame of many smaller fires that had long been smoldering. For generations the two sections had been drifting apart. Since the middle of the seventeenth century, Mason and Dixon's line had been a line of real division separating two inherently distinct portions of the country. Reread these lines from the Chapter 1 excerpt and answer the question that follows: These resolutions, demanding in effect that slavery be thus safeguarded—almost to the extent of introducing it into the free states—really foreshadowed the Democratic platform of 1860 which led to the great split in that party, the victory of the Republicans under Lincoln, the subsequent secession of the more radical southern states, and finally the Civil War, for it was inevitable that the North, when once aroused, would bitterly resent such pro-slavery demands. Which of the following best summarizes the message of these lines? The radical southern states instigated the Civil War. The North expected and demanded Civil War. Differing opinions on slavery contributed to the Civil War. Disputes between political parties had little effect on the Civil War. Points earned on this question: 0 <span>

Comparison between mathemagician and king azaz
Mazyrski [523]
Hey there!
I take it we're talking about <em>The Phantom Tollbooth.
</em>In this story, the two Kingdoms- Digitopolis and Dictionopolis, ruled by the Mathemagician and King Azaz, are not at peace.
<em />The Mathemagician believes that numbers are better than words, and Azaz thinks otherwise, and they refuse to talk with each other.
However, they both are the same in one aspect because they both agree on something, and that is that they always will agree that they always will disagree with each other.
Also, towards the end of the book (no spoilers!) they begin to realize the true meaning of working together to save the day.
Hope this helps

Which best describes the author’s viewpoint toward the actual Rosetta Stone in "The Rosetta Stone”?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

It is a fascinating artifact that can help people better understand the past.

Explanation:

The Rosetta Stone is an ancient stone discovered by archaeologists that began an intense study for the language used in ancient Egypt. This stone had inscriptions that led and helped scholars learn about the language and script used by people in the past.

Inscribed with three styles/ scripts, the stone began what will become the turning point for scholars to understand the Egyptian writing. The pictures called hieroglyphs represent certain words which the researchers tried to decipher. And when they finally got through, it helped them better understand the past and how it also helps experts learn and understand the 'picture' language of the Egyptians.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
