Answer:

girl here you go

Explanation:

Parliament, outraged by the Boston Tea Party and other blatant acts of destruction of British property, enacted the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, in 1774. The Coercive Acts closed Boston to merchant shipping, established formal British military rule in Massachusetts, made British officials immune to criminal prosecution in America, and required colonists to quarter British troops. The colonists subsequently called the first Continental Congress to consider a united American resistance to the British. on July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence. Five years later, in October 1781, British General Charles Lord Cornwallis surrendered to American and French forces at Yorktown, Virginia, bringing to an end the last major battle of the Revolution. With the signing of the Treaty of Paris with Britain in 1783, the United States formally became a free and independent nation.

Why was the national law against slavery needed even though the emancipation proclamation had been issued
stira [4]

Answer:

When the American Civil War (1861-65) began, President Abraham Lincoln carefully framed the conflict as concerning the preservation of the Union rather than the abolition of slavery. Although he personally found the practice of slavery abhorrent, he knew that neither Northerners nor the residents of the border slave states would support abolition as a war aim. But by mid-1862, as thousands of slaves fled to join the invading Northern armies, Lincoln was convinced that abolition had become a sound military strategy, as well as the morally correct path. On September 22, soon after the Union victory at Antietam, he issued a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that as of January 1, 1863, all slaves in the rebellious states “shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” While the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave, it was an important turning point in the war, transforming the fight to preserve the nation into a battle for human freedom.

Who was Alexander the Great?. . A.. the Persian leader who overtook the Greeks and established the largest empire in Europe. . B
jekas [21]
The correct answer is B.. the Macedonian king who took control of the Greek city-states and established an empire that stretched as far east as India.

He conquered what was at that time considered to be almost the entire world, hence the name "the Great". He successfully defeated Persia and died somehow when he was in India. The exact reason why he died young has never been found although there are speculations as to what happened.

Give me a short (around 2 sentence) summary for when hitler joined the nazis,
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Beer Hall Putsch: A combination of factors led up to Hitler's ascension to power in Germany after WWI. His failed Putsch, which basically means coup or attempt to overthrow the government, did lead to him getting into jail, but it also symbolized the growing power of the Nazis, who were formerly a very elite, small group.

Authorship of Mein Kampf: Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, "My Struggle," while in jail after the Putsch. It was a protest against all types of people he hated: Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and did I mention Jews?

Reichstag fire: Hitler became chancellor and "withstood" the Reichstag fire; most historians agree that the fire was deliberately set by Nazis to increase support for their party and make it look like someone else had done it.

Invasion of Poland: The Nazi party soon came out in force, spreading German liebensraum or living space by invading almost all its close neighbors.

First concentration camp: Hitler then initiated a wave of antisemitic procedures, including concentration camps like Dachau and Auschwitz. Undesirables were told that they were moving to work camps, when they were only destined for starvation, overwork, and death.

Nuremberg Laws: This was the codification of Jewish exclusion in Germany. They were no longer considered citizens. With this, Hitler put in writing and in deed his consistent oppression of that minority. It was all too fitting that the trials of the highest ranking Nazis were held in Nuremberg.

Kristallnacht: The brutal oppression of Jews on Kristallnacht, or the Night of the Broken Glass, was so-named because German Nazi supporters broke into Jewish houses and businesses (broken glass) and smeared racial slurs on the walls. This was just a foretaste of what was to come.
