John Brown was a radical abolitionist who believed in the violent overthrow of the slavery system. During the Bleeding Kansas conflicts, Brown and his sons led attacks on pro-slavery residents. Justifying his actions as the will of God, Brown soon became a hero in the eyes of Northern extremists and was quick to capitalize on his growing reputation. By early 1858, he had succeeded in enlisting a small “army” of insurrectionists whose mission was to foment rebellion among the slaves. In 1859, Brown and 21 of his followers attacked and occupied the federal arsenal in Harpers Ferry. Their goal was to capture supplies and use them to arm a slave rebellion. Brown was captured during the raid and later hanged, but not before becoming an anti-slavery icon.

would it have been possible for speakers of indo-european languages to spread so widely without the aid of domesticated horses?
umka21 [38]
No, the vast distances that existed between civilizations and the physical terrain (mountainous) that separated them were too great for humans to cross.  Journeys and trade routes would have taken years to cross.  Horses shortened these travels times and made journeys more survivable, as such the people were able to expand.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

At first when Great Britain received the Declaration of Independence from the colonists, they were silent about it. The signers of the document knew that by doing so that they have validated their rebellion. The British saw the signers to be treasonous.

The Declaration of Independence was ratified on July 4th, 1776. It contained the grievances of Americans (who were under the British rule at this time) against the rule of the British King and they sought for independence.
