Explanation:
The Civil War in the United States began in 1861, after decades of simmering tensions between northern and southern states over slavery, states’ rights and westward expansion. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 caused seven southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America; four more states soon joined them. The War Between the States, as the Civil War was also known, ended in Confederate surrender in 1865. The conflict was the costliest and deadliest war ever fought on American soil, with some 620,000 of 2.4 million soldiers killed, millions more injured and much of the South left in ruin.
Instant communication during the time of exploration would have made it possible to the explorers to report back their exact location and the environment in which they found themselves, which would have allowed for the "mother" countries to send the perfect amount of supplies and soldiers to aid with the mission.
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Men of passive dispositions look somewhat lightly over the offenses of Great Britain, and, still hoping for the best, are likely to call out, "Come, come, we shall be friends again for all this."...But examine the passions and feelings of mankind: bring the idea of reconciliation to the nature of man, and then tell me whether you can hereafter love, honour, and faithfully serve the power that has carried fire and sword into your land? If you cannot do all these, then you are only deceiving yourselves….
Your future connection with Britain, whom you can neither love nor honour, will be forced and unnatural, and being formed only on the plan of present convenience, will in a little time fall into a worse condition more wretched than the first. But if you say, you can still pass the violations Great Britain has done the colonies over, then I ask, hath your house been burnt? Hath your property been destroyed before your face? Are your wife and children destitute of a bed to lie on, or bread to live on? Have you lost a parent or a child by their hands, and yourself the ruined and wretched survivor? If you have not, then are you not a judge of those who have. But if you have, and can still shake hands with the murderers, then are you unworthy the name of husband, father, friend or lover, and whatever may be your rank or title in life, you have the heart of a coward…
Thomas Paine (1776)
How does the author try to appeal to the emotions of American colonists in his attempt to build an argument and support for the American revolution? Cite evidence from the text to support your claims.
Answer:
First of all, Paine uses passionate wording (love, honor, faithfully). Furthermore, he uses it to convince the colonists of how contradictory it would be to be faithful to Britain after many violent transgressions ("serve the power that has carried fire and sword into your land").
Rhetorical questions about whether or not the colonists have suffered Britain´s violence themselves is a call to be gentle with those who have, but most of all, the setting to say that those who haven´t and oppose the revolution are cowards.
The 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation and protest. Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920.
