Charles Sumner was a politician and senator from the state of Massachusetts. Born in 1811 and passed on in 1874, this senator was best known for his great abilities as an orator, a lawyer, and most importantly, for his firm stand against slavery. In fact, he was a very active member of the anti-slavery movement of Massachusetts and a member of the Radical Republicans. Among his biggest goals were: to abolish slavery, destroy the Confederacy and establish good relations with European nations. He had a dispute with President Ulysses Grant on the topic of Santo Domingo and he was stripped of power in the Senate in 1871. He changed parties several times and ended in the Republican Party. In 1856, Senator Sumner was almost beaten to death by fellows congressman, Democrat Preston Brooks, of South Carolina, because of an anti-slavery speech that he gave two days prior in the Senate floor, and that was entitled: "The Crime Against Kansas".

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Thebes was located in the Greek region of Boeotia, in central Greece. To the Southeast, we find the region of Attica, a small peninsula were Athens was (and is) located.

Attica is connected to the Peloponnese (the large peninsula that comprises the southernmost part of the Greek mainland) throught the Isthmus of Corinth. As the name implies, in this Isthmus, the ancient city of Corinth was located, as well as the city of Megara.

In the Peloponnese, there were many cities and villages, but two of the closest, geographically-speaking, to Thebes were Mycenae, Argos and Tegea. A bit farther inland, Sparta was located.

Alex Ar [27]
<span>Choice (a) is correct. To make an amendment to the Articles, all 13 states had to agree. This made amendments particularly difficult: any one state could derail the entire process. This is why the Articles failed after such a short time, to be replaced by the current Constitution.</span>
