<span>In September 1814, an impressive American naval victory on Lake Champlain forced invading British forces back into Canada and led to the conclusion of peace negotiations in Ghent, Belgium. Although the peace agreement was signed on December 24, word did not reach the British forces assailing the Gulf coast in time to halt a major attack.On January 8, 1815, the British marched against New Orleans, hoping that by capturing the city they could separate Louisiana from the rest of the United States. Pirate Jean Lafitte, however, had warned the Americans of the attack, and the arriving British found militiamen under General Andrew Jackson strongly entrenched at the Rodriquez Canal. In two separate assaults, the 7,500 British soldiers under Sir Edward Pakenham were unable to penetrate the U.S. defenses, and Jackson’s 4,500 troops, many of them expert marksmen from Kentucky and Tennessee, decimated the British lines. In half an hour, the British had retreated, General Pakenham was dead, and nearly 2,000 of his men were killed, wounded, or missing. U.S. forces suffered only eight killed and 13 wounded.Although the battle had no bearing on the outcome of the war, Jackson’s overwhelming victory elevated national pride, which had suffered a number of setbacks during the War of 1812. The Battle of New Orleans was also the last armed engagement between the United States and Britain.

Which of the following was a significant long-term cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union during the late twentieth century?
natita [175]

The correct answer is C) The dismantling of the Berlin Wall and the end of restrictions on emigrating from communist countries.

A significant long-term cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union during the late twentieth century was the dismantling of the Berlin Wall and the end of restrictions on emigrating from communist countries.

After many years under the Communist regime, the Soviet Union split in December 1991. During those Communist years, the USSR never allowed private property in the Soviet United. The state was the owner of the means of production.

So when Gorbachev decided to implement glasnost and perestroika reformations, he had to carefully proceed because these involved some kind of risk. Glasnost allowed people more rights such as the freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Perestroika allowed new and private investments to revitalize the difficult economic conditions of Russia.

The Soviet Union ceased to exist on December 26, 1991. Gorbachev had resigned one day before and the new leader of Russia was Boris Yeltsin.

3. Compare the factory system to the putting-out system. In your opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Exp
valina [46]
In the factory system, the work is conducted on site by employees of the factory or company.  In the putting out system, work is subcontracted to outside employees who conduct their own in off-site workspaces (their own homes or in smaller shops).  In the factory system, work is localized and there tends to be a stronger output of good.  In the putting out system, there is no need to pay for and monitor a factory.
