I would say that President Thomas Jefferson would have desired the revolution to fail. On the one had, Saint Domingue independence from France was good news, for it debilitated the French. But on the other hand, the triumph of a slave revolution in the West Indies would set a dangerous precedent and could influence further slave revolts in the USA.

Jefferson - who was a slave owner himself - refused to recognize the negro government, rejecting diplomatic relations and even imposed an economic embargo on Saint Domingue in order to make the negro nation fail. Also, he had to face southern slave-holders reaction against the Saint Domingue in fear of similar outbreaks. Previous incidents like the Gabriel slave conspiracy in 1802 fueled this fear.

Sav [38]

The statement that best paraphrases evidence to support the conclusion that Gilgamesh is courageous is the last one: Despite his momentary horror at seeing Humbaba’s dreadful face, Gilgamesh overcomes his fear with encouragement from his companion.

Humbaba <em>the Terrible</em> was the guardian of the Cedar Forest, where the gods lived. Heroes Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu went there in order to capture and slay the monster, but, upon seeing him, the brave Gilgamesh started to flee away from him, horrified by his features. Thanks to his companion, however, who reminds him of his strength and of their intimate friendship, which make them invincible, he is finally able to overcome his fear and kill the giant.

I don’t know if this will help you But here is what I got about the Mexican American War.


The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil. It pitted a politically divided and militarily unprepared Mexico against the expansionist-minded administration of U.S. President James K. Polk, who believed the United States had a “manifest destiny” to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. A border skirmish along the Rio Grande started off the fighting and was followed by a series of U.S. victories. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.
