4 0

Jefferson had an awkward courtship with Rebecca Burwell, a 16-year-old girl, who declined Jefferson's marriage proposal, and his unwelcome advances towards the wife of a boyhood friend. It resulted in Jefferson putting flowers in his room to wilt all night. Instead, Rebecca Burwell married Jacquelin Ambler, which made her the mother-in-law of the United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, who wrote the famous Marbury vs. Madison decision which was a criticism on President Jefferson.

Why do historians consider 1942 to be a pivotal year for the outcome of the war?

larisa [96]

There are a lot of reasons for this! 1942 features many intense moments for the world, including the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, Stalingrad, and the Manhattan Project. I think the most important is the Manhattan Project, because this is what is usually publicized (at least in American history) as the "final straw" of the Allies.
