Native American populations were decimated by diseases that had been brought by the Europeans.

Explanation:

When the Europeans discovered and settled in the New World, lot of changes occurred on both sides of the Atlantic. Many things were positive, especially when it came to exchange of goods, plants, and animals. Unfortunately, there were some negatives in it, with the spreading of diseases being among the most influential. The exchange between the two sides is known as the Columbian exchange.

The Europeans and the Native Americans had some diseases that were unique about them, and their immune systems were adapted to them, but they didn't had response for the diseases of the opposite side. Both sides suffered from this, but the effect was much greater among the Native Americans, as the majority of their populations died out because of the spreading of European diseases among them, such as the common cold and the smallpox.

Other negatives that occurred were:

  • numerous wars
  • systematic assimilation and genocide
  • overtaking of territory

What does weary of the ‘Negro Question’” and “‘sick of carpet-bag’ government mean
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

"weary of the 'Negro Question'" and "'sick of carpet-bag' government." are related to the same political, social end economical event that happened in the USA after the end of the Civil War: The Reconstruction era. Congressional  Reconstruction included the stipulation that to reenter the Union, former  Confederate states had to ratify the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.  Congress also passed the Military Reconstruction Act, which attempted to  protect the voting rights and civil rights of African Americans. Former Confederates resented the new state constitutions because of their provisions allowing for black voting and civil rights, where we can explain the "weary of the 'Negro Question'". Carpetbaggers were northerners who allegedly rushed South with all their belongings in carpetbags to grab the political spoils were more often than not Union veterans who had arrived as early as 1865 or 1866, drawn South by the hope of economic opportunity and other attractions that many of them had seen in their Union service. Many other so-called carpetbaggers were teachers, social workers, or preachers animated by a sincere missionary impulse.

CHALLENGE ACTIVITY
BARSIC [14]

Answer:  Spartacus was a Thracian, and he had once fought with the Romans. According to Plutarch, he was enslaved by them after he had deserted. He was trained as a gladiator but due to his strength and combat skater.

In 73BC, he plotted an escape from his gladiatorial school near Capua in southern Italy. He was joined in the conspiracy by up to 100 other gladiators.

The plot was discovered, and only 50 of the gladiators escaped. The escapees elected Spartacus and Crixus a Gaul as their leaders.Spartacus emerged as the leader of the slaves, but other commanders were essential to the revolt. Spartacus and his men established a camp on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius in the south of Italy.

The Romans sent two armed expeditions to subdue the ex-gladiators and end the rebellion. The ex-gladiators who by now have been joined by other escaped slaves were a formidable force. Under the leadership of Spartacus, they managed to defeat both Roman expeditions. The rebels were fortunate because many Roman legions were engaged in the war against Mithridates. Their success against the two Roman forces led to even more slaves joining their ranks.

There is some speculation that the slaves split into two groups, one commanded by Spartacus and the other by Crixus. In 72 BCE, the slaves defeated a force of praetorian guards under the command of two consuls. This defeat caused panic in Rome, and many expected Spartacus to march on the city.

Instead, Spartacus marched to the south to search for loot. When they did march towards Roman again, they defeated another Roman force. Crassus, one of Rome's leading figures and probably the richest, offered his service to the Senate. He raised several legions and advanced upon Spartacus and his rebel army.

Crassus was a shrewd tactician, and he engaged the slaves in several small encounters, which he won. He forces Spartacus to retreat further south, into the ‘Toe’ of Italy. By 71 BC, the former were encamped by the Strait of Messina. Plutarch states that Spartacus planned to ferry his army to Sicily. However, he was unable to secure the necessary ships.
