I won't go into too much details but the Asian country that defeated Russia in war, namely the Russo-Japanese war(1904-05) was Japan.
It was a conflict based on good military strategy. It all started because Japan wanted Korea as a province but Russia did not allow that to happen so Japan tried to negotiate to get Korea in exchange that Russia could keep Manchuria but Russia refused and negotiations broke down so Japan thought of an alternative...war.
Japan knew that Russia had a massive army but Japan had a very mobile and well trained army so they used that to their advantage. So the Japanese fleet open fired on the Russia Eastern Fleet in Port Arthur which eventually got destroyed. As Russia suffered humiliating defeats, the country thought it could beat Japan but Japans strategy proved superior so they defeated Russia in many battles. So in order to prevent a total "defeat", Russia asked for Peace (U.S as the middleman)which gave Japan some of what it wanted but not all. This caused both countries to be dissatisfied...

I answered this question before, if you look it up.
What Samuel Adams is trying to say is that, if the British parliament is going to tax on the American colonists, then the colonists should have a say on the parliament when it comes to both taxes and laws.
This is where the famous phrase "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION" comes from.
American colonists wanted independence due to this unfair treatment that the British gave to the colonists, as well as no say in Parliament.

Answer: Stono Rebellion in 1739.
Explanation:The comprehensive Negro Act of 1740 was passed in the Province of South Carolina, during colonial Governor William Bull's time in office, in response to the Stono Rebellion in 1739.
Your questions asks why the Southern Military (Confederacy) decided to defend instead of attack.
Your answer would be C). Southern leaders thought their knowledge of Southern lands would help them defeat the Union forces.
The reason why this would be the correct answer is because the South believed that their knowledge of their land would give them the advantage in winning the war. In other words, you can say that the South "played home field." The terrain in the South was different than the terrain in the North, so they used it to get the Northerners (the Union) confused when trying to attack them. The Southerners knew where everything is: all of the bases, hiding spots, etc, and used it to a certain advantage. All in all, the Southern leaders thought that the Union would be weaker on unknown territory.
