USA vs Confederate advantages and disadvantages
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The main advantages of the USA were:

A larger population, the USA had the majority of large cities of North America at the time, and a lot of immigrants, while the Confederacy was mainly rural, and not as populated. This larger population meant a more numerous army.

And a more powerful economy with some industry, which facilitated the production of arms and supplies for the military.

The disadvantage was that USA was the aggressor, and had to take up territory, while the confederacy only had to defend itself.

The confederacy main advantage was that as defenders, they knew most of the territory better, and had overall a more advantageous geographical position, at least at the start of the war. The main disadvantage for the Confederacy was precisely the smaller population -which means a smaller army- and the less developed economy, which was mainly agrarian, lacking almost any form of industry.

How did Newton use creativity and logic in his approach to investigate light
algol [13]
Isaac Newton was creative in his use of prisms to show how white light is actually made up of multiple colors.  He used logic in the way he presented his arguments rhetorically in order to convince readers of the correctness of his conclusions.

Newton was not the first to experiment with passing light through prisms to determine how light works.  French philosopher Rene Descartes had done prism experiments of his own.  But Descartes had thought that passing through a prism actually modified the light in order to produce the color spectrum.  Newton correctly understood that when light refracted through the prism, it revealed the range of colors that were naturally in the light.  He then used a second prism, blocking all but one color, to show that a single color passing through a prism was not modified in color. He also showed--by positioning the second prism differently--how the multiple colors of light could be recombined into white light again.

Newton's 1672 paper on light refracting through prisms established his reputation as a scientist.  He continued to study light throughout his scientific career, publishing a larger work in 1704 on <em>Opticks </em>(as they spelled "optics" then).

the native americans and settlers had different ways of life. tell me how the native americans used the land and how settlers us
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

During the colonial period, Native Americans had a complicated relationship with European settlers. They resisted the efforts of the Europeans to gain more of their land and control through both warfare and diplomacy. But problems arose for the Native Americans, which held them back from their goal, including new diseases, the slave trade, and the ever-growing European population in North America.

In the 17th century, as European nations scrambled to claim the already occupied land in the “New World,” some leaders formed alliances with Native American nations to fight foreign powers. Some famous alliances were formed during the French and Indian War of 1754–1763. The English allied with the Iroquois Confederacy, while the Algonquian-speaking tribes joined forces with the French and the Spanish. The English won the war, and claimed all of the land east of the Mississippi River. The English-allied Native Americans were given part of that land, which they hoped would end European expansion—but unfortunately only delayed it. Europeans continued to enter the country following the French and Indian War, and they continued their aggression against Native Americans. Another consequence of allying with Europeans was that Native Americans were often fighting neighboring tribes. This caused rifts that kept some Native American tribes from working together to stop European takeover.

Native Americans were also vulnerable during the colonial era because they had never been exposed to European diseases, like smallpox, so they didn’t have any immunity to the disease, as some Europeans did. European settlers brought these new diseases with them when they settled, and the illnesses decimated the Native Americans—by some estimates killing as much as 90 percent of their population. Though many epidemics happened prior to the colonial era in the 1500s, several large epidemics occurred in the 17th and 18th centuries among various Native American populations. With the population sick and decreasing, it became more and more difficult to mount an opposition to European expansion.

Another aspect of the colonial era that made the Native Americans vulnerable was the slave trade. As a result of the wars between the European nations, Native Americans allied with the losing side were often indentured or enslaved. There were even Native Americans shipped out of colonies like South Carolina into slavery in other places, like Canada.

These problems that arose for the Native Americans would only get worse in the 19th century, leading to greater confinement and the extermination of native people. Unfortunately, the colonial era was neither the start nor the end of the long, dark history of treatment of Native Americans by Europeans and their decedent’s throughout in the United States.

Native Americans in Colonial America

Whether through diplomacy, war, or even alliances, Native American efforts to resist European encroachment further into their lands were often unsuccessful in the colonial era. This woodcut shows members of the Cheyenne nation conducting diplomacy with settlers of European descent in the 1800s.
