History
1 answer:
densk [106]3 years ago

Answer:

A terrible famine in Ireland.

Explanation:

The British were very unfriendly to any kind of Irish nationalism and they cracked down hard. Ireland was primarily reliant on potatoes, and there was a horrible famine. Millions starved, and the British did little to help.

Irish immigrants had a very low standing in America, and were persecuted.

There wasn't free land in the West for the Irish.

The Irish people were not necessarily skilled artisans or craftsmen. Many of them were farmers, peasant folk, or factory workers who bargained their way to America.

What does this cartoon indicate about the relationship between the United States and the newly-independent Latin American countr
AVprozaik [17]

The correct answer is "The United States hoped to benefit from problems in Latin America.".

Latin American governments are considered as "faulty democracies" or "pseudo-democracies", as government institutions are constantly threated by external fights for power.

Latin America is also a region with many resources, therefore, by aiding governments in this region. The United States lays a path to good relationships with the regimes that will result in ease in trade relations and foreign investment by private American Enterprises in these countries.

Help please! Civil War essay questions.Ill give brainlyest!!!
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

(i) First, it is important to remember the context. America was in the midst of a bloody civil war. Union troops had only recently defeated Confederate troops at the Battle of Gettysburg. It was a the turning point in the war. The stated purpose of Lincoln’s speech was to dedicate a plot of land that would become Soldier’s National Cemetery. However, Lincoln realized that he also had to inspire the people to continue the fight.

Below is the text of the Gettysburg Address, interspersed with my thoughts on what made it so memorable.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

“Four score and seven” is much more poetic, much more elegant, much more noble than “Eighty-seven”. The United States had won its freedom from Britain 87 years earlier, embarking on the “Great Experiment”.

(ii) The Emancipation Proclamation and Thirteenth Amendment brought about by the Civil War were important milestones in the long process of ending legal slavery in the United States. This essay describes the development of those documents through various drafts by Lincoln and others and shows both the evolution of Abraham Lincoln’s thinking and his efforts to operate within the constitutional boundaries of the presidency.
