In "Home Place Retold," we find out about the Mennonites, a Christian separatist group that came from Europe in the early days of the development of America. Among these families, it was common for siblings from one family to marry siblings from a neighbouring family. The reason was that, often, communities were very small, both due to their initial reduced numbers and their high mortality rate. This meant that there was very little choice of partner because of the small population. As the number of people grew, these practices became less common.

Sounds produced when space between vocal folds is closed completely (very briefly) and then released?
QveST [7]

Answer:

The sound produced when space between vocal folds is completely closed and then released is called glottal stop.

Explanation:

When the airflow in the glottis or the vocal tract is completely obstructed and then released, we have a consonantal sound called glottal stop or glottal plosive. Due to the obstruction, glottal vibration either becomes irregular or stops.

This sound is more common in certain languages than others. When it comes to the English language, it tends to happen more often in certain regional accents. For American speakers, it is usual to use the glottal stop in words such as curtain or mountain, when the /t/ phoneme is followed by a /n/ phoneme. Americans tend to interrupt the flow of air in the glottis as a means to connect both sounds. To better understand a glottal stop, think of the pause you make between the two syllables of the interjection "uh-oh". That pause is caused by the interruption of airflow in the glottis and is, thus, a glottal stop.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the U.S. of America National Anthem. Was written on September 14, 1814, by the lawyer an amateur poet Francis Scott Key. Key described in the song what he witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812.

When he endorses: "hirelings and slaves" Key probably felt that sailors were being mistreated by their captain. Besides many of the British soldiers were forced into war.
