Before answering, let us first establish what these "4 Olds" are. The "4 Olds" that we are talking about here are China's Old Ideas, Old Customs, Old Culture, and Old Habits. Mao Zhe Dong, the founding father of the People's Republic of China, was the one that led into the annihilating of the "4 Olds" of China. This is in response to what was currently happening at that time. There was a Russian revolution which began failing and became one of the reasons that led to the destroying of the "4 Olds". Urban Stratification was also feared to come up. And this way, elitism would be demolished. Some would say that Mao wanted to secure his own place in history which pushed the decision on destorying the "4 Olds".
The correct answer is:
C. Honey Springs
The Battle of Honey Springs (July 17, 1863), was an American Civil War engagement and an important victory for Union forces in their efforts to gain control of the Indian Territory. It is known to be the largest confrontation between Union and Confederate forces in the area that would eventually become Oklahoma.
Nobody chooses the rulers. If its through a system of heredity, when the rulers die their children take over.
There are three main reasons why the Renaissance was kickstarted in Italy.
Geographical Location:
<span>The city-states of Italy were situated upon peninsulas and islands which made trade very easy. It was spurred by the Crusades and led to the growth of large city-states in northern Europe. This meant that northern Italy was quite urban as compared to the rest of Europe which was still rural. Cities served as platforms to exchange ideas and proved to be a facilitator for an intellectual revolution. When the bubonic plague hit in the 1300s, economic changes were brought about. Because of the decreased amount of laborers, survivors were in demand and could, therefore, demand higher wages. Merchants then began to pursue other interests (art) with fewer opportunities to expand. </span>
Greek & Roman Scholars:
<span>Scholars looked down upon the art and literature of the Middle Ages. They wanted to return to the learning of the Greeks and Romans. The artists and scholars of Italy drew inspiration from the ruins of Rome that surrounded them. The Western scholars also studied ancient Latin manuscripts that had been preserved in monasteries. Christian scholars in Constantinople also fled to Rome with Greek manuscripts when the Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453. </span>
Merchants and the Medici family:
<span>In each city-state, a wealthy merchant class developed. City-states such as Milan and Florence were quite small which meant more citizens could be involved in political life. Merchants did not inherit social rank like nobles did and had to use their wits and knowledge to succeed in business. They were extremely successful at politics too and as a result, successful merchants believed they deserved this power and wealth. They began to value individual achievement. With Florence in particular, the city-state had a republican form of government in the late 1200s. But during the beginnings of the Renaissance, Florence came to be under the rule of the powerful banking family - the Medici family. The family bank of Medici had offices throughout Italy and major cities of Europe. Cosimo de Medici was incredibly wealthy, not only as an Italian, but as a European. He won over Florence's government and influenced members of the ruling council by giving them loans. He served as the dictator for Florence for 30 years. After he died, his family continued to control Florence. The Medici family supported artists such as Michelangelo by sponsoring them. </span>
<span>All in all, Italy was had the economic and political power to allow new ideas to sprout and trade to spur, this igniting the Renaissance as a movement.</span>
The correct answer would be boycotts.
During 1965, the United Farm Workers organized the Delano gripe strike. This strike also included a boycott of this product, meaning these individuals would refuse to buy grapes.The goal of this was to cut into the profits of the individuals who they were striking against.
The Southern Christian Leadership helped to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott during the 1950's. This was sparked by the anger from citizens who heard about the Rosa Parks story. This strike lasted over a year and cut into the profits of bus operators all across the city of Montgomery.
