I wager you're talking about <em>Tragic Prelude</em>, the mural painted by John Steuart Curry.

To answer your question: Curry probably had Brown stand between the two sides to emphasize the increasing divide between the North and the South of the United States during this period, a divide that has only grown due to Brown's actions at Harpers Ferry.  

Curry also probably represented Brown as such a large figure to highlight his importance in the leadup to the Civil War.  He is also represented as a fanatic who would kill and be killed for his beliefs.

What is the most likely reason the Pueblo constructed most of their buildings out of adobe?
mote1985 [20]

The most likely reason Pueblo constructed most of their buildings out of adobe is because Pueblo typically lived in areas where adobe was more readily available over other building materials.

 

Pueblos are modern and old communities of Native Americans in the Southwestern United States. The first Spanish explorers of the Southwest used this term to describe the communities housed in apartment-like structures built of stone, adobe mud, and other local material.

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Was the Mexican-American war justified? Your product should be an essay.
steposvetlana [31]

The United States-Mexico War partially abides by this principle. Although the United States and Mexico wished to resolve the territorial dispute peacefully, the two nations resorted to the use of force. The United States sent an envoy, John Slidell, to Mexico in order to annex Texas, New Mexico, and California diplomatically. However, the Mexican government refused to accept the envoy since the public was against Texas annexation to the United States. Although Mexico warned the United States that Texas annexation would be a "declaration of war," the American government signed an annexation treaty with Texas in 1846, which caused the Mexicans to use military force to protect its territorial integrity. Therefore, the Mexican-American war could have been prevented had the United States regarded the Mexican admonitions seriously.

Hope this helps!!!!!!
