Answer:

The Pilgrims wrote the Mayflower Compact to compensate for the fact that their settlement was not governed by a royal charter.

Explanation:

When the Pilgrims first set out for the New World, their intended destination was the Virginia Colony. The Pilgrims were ultimately blown off course and landed on Plymouth Rock. Unlike the Virginia Colony, the Pilgrims' new home was not governed by a royal charter, leading them to draft the Mayflower Compact. The Mayflower Compact planted the seeds of self-rule in the New England colonies.

Why did douglas's "popular sovereignty" approach to the slavery question prove to be unworkable in kansas and elsewhere?

klasskru [66]

Answer: It led to unrest and violence between pro-slavery and anti-slavery groups.

Context/details:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act enacted by Congress in 1854. It granted popular sovereignty to the people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, letting them decide whether they'd allow slavery. In essence, this made the Kansas-Nebraska act a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had said there would be no slavery north of latitude 36°30´ except for Missouri.

After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to try to sway the outcome of the issue, and violence between the two sides occurred. The term "bleeding Kansas" was used because of the bloodshed.

After the revolutionary war, how many slaves were free in maryland

Alchen [17]

The question is unclear since after the Revolutionary War is not enough information. A specific date is required but I'll use two dates (1790 and 1860), Maryland had the following statistics:

- 208,649 Whites.

- 8,043 non-white free inhabitants (may include Native Americans).

- 103,036 African Slaves (Including those born in the US).

For a total of 319. 728 inhabitants, only 8,043 were free, that is roughly less than 3% percent of the population which means that the correct answer is:

d: no slaves

Since part of the free non-whites were probably Native Americans and if we use the date 1790 as referential.

If we use the date 1860, Maryland had the following statistics:

- 515,918 Whites.

- 83,942 non-white free inhabitants (may include Native Americans).

- 87,189 African Slaves (Including those born in the US).For a total of 515,918 inhabitants, only 83,942 were free, that is roughly over 16% of the population which means that the correct answer is, for this referential:

b: about 1/3 of the population

It is obvious that even after the Revolutionary War Slavery was thriving in Maryland.

In what ways have traditional media been replaced

Phoenix [80]

Traditional media has been replaced by new technologies in the sense that not nearly as many people will pay for a newspaper anymore, but rather watch the news, or more likely, read articles online.
New technology will likely increase voter awareness because more people are becoming accustomed to and growing up with technology, therefore if people are spreading awareness on social media platforms and campaigning, etc. It would help make more people knowledgeable on what elections there are and know about the candidates.
