Akbar the Great was a Muslim Emperor of India and he was known for his policy of religious tolerance and appreciation for the arts.

Borne on 15th October 1542 in Umarkot, India, Akbar the Great was enthroned as a Mughal ruler of India at the age of 14 after his father's death. He was a direct descendant of Ghengis Khan and his grandfather, Babur, was the first emperor of the Mughal dynasty.

He was known for his policy of religious tolerance because he did not force the Hindu people under his empire to convert to Islam. He, instead, showed his respect to their religion by abolishing poll taxes imposed on non-Muslims and participating in Hindu festivals.

His fair treatment to everyone especially to those whom he conquered when expanding his empire generated loyalty among his people for him.

Which is the correct definition of the post civil war term carpetbagger?
posledela

Answer:

A Derogatory term for a northerner moving to the southern states during the reconstruction era (1863-1877)

Explanation:

carpetbagger was a derogatory term applied by former Confederates to any person from the Northern United States who came to the Southern states after the American Civil War; they were perceived as exploiting the local populace. The term broadly included both individuals who sought to promote Republican politics (which included the right of African Americans to vote and hold office), and those individuals who saw business and political opportunities because of the chaotic state of the local economies following the war. In practice, the term carpetbagger was often applied to any Northerner who was present in the South during the Reconstruction Era (1863–1877). The term is closely associated with "scalawag", a similarly pejorative word used to describe native White southerners who supported the Republican Party-led Reconstruction

What political action directed at Khrushchev could precede military action?
Gennadij [26K]
A "quarantine" of Cuba, as it was termed by President Kennedy.

In an address to the nation in October 22, 1962, President Kennedy told of surveillance that revealed Soviet missile sites were observed as part of military build-up in Cuba.  He said he would demand that the USSR remove all offensive missiles from Cuba or the US would place Cuba under a "quarantine."  A more usual term normally would be a "blockade," but Kennedy avoided that loaded term because that could be interpreted by the USSR as an act of war.

True or False. As more and more settlers arrived in Jamestown, relations between the settlers and the Powhatan people dramatical
kipiarov [429]

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

In general terms, relationships between settlers at Jamestown and Native Americans including the Powhatan were tense as natives lived in the territory settlers were colonizing. Despite this, during the first months, the Powhatan people helped settlers to survive.

However, this alliance soon ended and a war started when more settlers arrived in Jamestown. This is because the conflicts for territory and resources increased, especially as settlers declared themselves owners of the territory. Also, cultural differences stopped the two cultures from understanding the other. According to this, relations between settlers and natives worsened as more settlers arrived.
