So I saw that you needed help, so I looked it up, but then I realized that I already knew a few things about the Culper Spy Ring. Here's a few facts you could use:
It was formed by American Major Benjamin Tallmadge under orders from General George Washington in 1778
The name "Culper" was suggested by Washington, and it was named after Culpeper County, Virginia
The two main members of the ring were Abraham Woodhull and Robert
Townsend
Members were both men and women
Their main responsibility was to provide information about British movement. At one point they sent word to Washington the British forces were planning a surprise attack on French Lieutenant General Rochambeau, as well as reporting the British planned to use counterfeit American currency on Continental dollar paper to get the Continental Congress to retire the bills. They told Washington British Major General William Tyron's raid was a diversion, so that Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton could attack him by surprise. They also found out that a high-ranking American official named Benedict Arnold was hiding out as a British spy.
Though nothing was ever confirmed, many say the Culper Ring exposed an attempt on General Washington's life.
There was a female spy who is only known as Agent 355. Her identity remains unknown to this day.
Hope that helps!
Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions they planned in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States
Well, I can't see the answer choices. But, if I were doing this in short answer, I'd pick a second hand account of a story.
Simply put, their actions have caused an increase in the amount of security in our country. The technology for public safety also has been greatly developed in the post cold war era. In terms of policies I would say there are more limitations/restrictions to things you can bring on a plane and things like that. Hope this helps...
Plastic is a word that originally meant “pliable and easily shaped.” It only recently became a name for a category of materials called polymers. The word polymer means “of many parts,” and polymers are made of long chains of molecules. Polymers abound in nature. Cellulose, the material that makes up the cell walls of plants, is a very common natural polymer.
Over the last century and a half humans have learned how to make synthetic polymers, sometimes using natural substances like cellulose, but more often using the plentiful carbon atoms provided by petroleum and other fossil fuels. Synthetic polymers are made up of long chains of atoms, arranged in repeating units, often much longer than those found in nature. It is the length of these chains, and the patterns in which they are arrayed, that make polymers strong, lightweight, and flexible. In other words, it’s what makes them so plastic.
These properties make synthetic polymers exceptionally useful, and since we learned how to create and manipulate them, polymers have become an essential part of our lives. Especially over the last 50 years plastics have saturated our world and changed the way that we live.
The First Synthetic Plastic
The first synthetic polymer was invented in 1869 by John Wesley Hyatt, who was inspired by a New York firm’s offer of $10,000 for anyone who could provide a substitute for ivory. The growing popularity of billiards had put a strain on the supply of natural ivory, obtained through the slaughter of wild elephants. By treating cellulose, derived from cotton fiber, with camphor, Hyatt discovered a plastic that could be crafted into a variety of shapes and made to imitate natural substances like tortoiseshell, horn, linen, and ivory.
This discovery was revolutionary. For the first time human manufacturing was not constrained by the limits of nature. Nature only supplied so much wood, metal, stone, bone, tusk, and horn. But now humans could create new materials. This development helped not only people but also the environment. Advertisements praised celluloid as the savior of the elephant and the tortoise. Plastics could protect the natural world from the destructive forces of human need.
The creation of new materials also helped free people from the social and economic constraints imposed by the scarcity of natural resources. Inexpensive celluloid made material wealth more widespread and obtainable.
