In regards to the Revolutionary War; the Americans were justified in fighting the British Crown due to the fact the British had been forcing several acts upon the colonies to make up for money lost in the French and Indian War. However, colonial backlash to these acts came from British Parliament and the King refusing to allow the Americans any say in what laws governed them. After clashing at Lexington and Concord, the Americans drafted two documents. The first a request to the British King stating they would stop resisting if he gave them the rights they asked for, the second was a document for the King station they would be leaving British to form their own nation; should the King refuse to meet their grievances.

King George decided ultimately to not meet the colonial requests. Thus enacting the colonists going forth with the Declaration of Independence. British oppression and inaction to colonial calls for freedom resulted in the justification of Americans fighting the British.

Write a four hundred word essay telling the significance the Battle of Saratoga had on the Continental Army
Allushta [10]

Answer:

During the time of the American Revolution, there were many battles that took place and affected the Revolution. One battle though, made a huge impact on the American Revolution. The Battle of Saratoga proved that the disadvantaged and weaker American forces were strong enough to overpower the British forces. It all started when General John Burgoyne needed to get his forces to Albany. He and his army headed across the Hudson River, where they would then take a road south-ward to Albany. Burgoyne knew the enemy (American forces) were in the area, but he did not know of their exact location. Leading to the Battles of Bemis Heights and Freeman's Farm, the Battle of Saratoga became known as a highly significant battle.

Freeman was a Loyalist who had earlier left for Canada. After about three hours of battle, the Americans ran out of ammunition, making them have to retreat. The British then claimed victory at Freeman's Farm.

Freeman's Farm was located on the west side bank of the Hudson River. It was right near Bemis Heights, making it easy for people to build fortifications in the woods and high outcroppings. It was located a few miles away from Burgoyne's destination of Albany. It was a perfect location for an army to fight and keep themselves in somewhat of an alright sanctuary. During the Battle, both sides used different tactics and strategies. Burgoyne decided to go with a risky strategy of dividing his army into three columns, two towards Bemis Heights and one to follow the road that paralleled the Hudson. The American forces (led by Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold) placed expert riflemen (led by Daniel Morgan) in charge of taking out the left flank of the British (led by Simon Frasier). This strategy worked well for the Americans, of course until they ran out of ammunition. The battle (of Freeman's Farm) was officially ended when Burgoyne heard word from Sir Henry Clinton. Clinton was getting ready to leave New York City and come assist Burgoyne with the continuous battles.

1. In your opinion, did the Court make the right decision in this case? Explain why you agree or disagree.
Sliva [168]
No I do not think they made the right decision. Basically what the Court decided is almost exactly what Hitler did to Jewish people — ironically this happened around the same time. Because of the decision to segregate Japanese people, they were put into Interment camps which is almost equivalent to Nazi Germany’s concentration camps.

1-In what way did religious dogma impede scientific research in regard to barometers and pose a threat to scientists and conclus
tester [92]

Religious dogma impeded scientific research in relation to barometers and posed a threat to scientists and to the conclusions they might reach in the sense that the experiment needed to be kept hidden to avoid accusations of witchcraft or imprisonment.

<h3>Brief history of the barometer </h3>

Torricelli invented the barometer in 1643 as an instrument capable of measuring atmospheric pressure. The mercury barometer is made up of a glass tube with one end closed that allows you to calculate the air pressure.

This experiment was impacted by religious dogmas as it was considered a heresy, since science and religion were conflicting at the time and Torricelli could be accused of inventing an instrument that confirmed the vacuum, which the church claimed did not exist, for God was in the whole part.

Therefore, there is historical evidence that the conflict between science and religion existed at other times, such as in the 14th and 15th centuries where the Catholic Church held the social, economic and political power of society through its dogmas.

Science was for the church then a way to give people more knowledge and lose their dominance, for fear of retaliation, science was carried out in a secret way at the time.
