The Underground Railroad wasn't a real railroad, but a network of courageous people who helped slaves secretly travel from the South to the North. In 1850, President Fillmore signed the Fugitive Slave Act, which made it illegal to help a slave run away and required officials to return escaped slaves to their owners.

What were the main components that made up the culture of the Middle Ages?
Wewaii [24]

The Middle Ages was the period between the 5th and the 15th century in European history. It begins with the <em>fall of the Western Roman Empire</em> and ends with either the <em>Renaissance</em> or the <em>Age of Discovery</em>.

  • What were the main components that made up the culture of the Middle Ages?

There are several ways to analyze the culture of the Middle Ages. In terms of architecture, the Middle Ages saw the birth of <em>Romanesque</em> and <em>Gothic</em> architecture, mainly developed in churches and castles. Metalwork, manuscript illustration and wall-paintings were other common forms of art. <em>Christianity</em> became relevant in all aspects of life and eventually motivated the <em>Crusades</em> (wars of reconquest). After the <em>Black Death</em> arose in 1347, about 35 million people died in the next three years. However, the plague returned several times throughout the 14th century.  

  • What happened in the Middle Ages, intellectually, between the 11th and 14th centuries?

The main debate in intellectual life during the Middle Ages was whether <em>reason</em> could be applied to <em>faith</em>. This led to a reexploration of Platonic ideals and advances in philosophy and theology. Law was also developed through an advance of<em> Roman law</em> into areas previously dominated by <em>customary law</em>. Vernacular literature increased, even though education remained mostly a privilege of the future clergy.

  • What was Scholasticism?

<em>Scholasticism</em> is primarily a method of learning that places emphasis on <em>dialectical reasoning</em> (deciding between opposites or contradictions through logic). This method of critical thought dominated medieval universities and arose as a need to reconcile the different traditions of knowledge that existed in medieval times.

  • What does the statement “pygmies standing on the shoulders of giants” mean when applied to the intellectuals of the Middle Ages and Scholasticism?

The phrase “standing on the shoulders of giants” refers to people who make some advancement in knowledge thanks to the work of previous scholars. In this case, the addition of the word “pygmy,” which refers to very small humans, implied that Medieval advancements were very limited when compared to the advancements of the <em>Classical period</em>.

Why did conservatives oppose the new deal? a. They thought Roosevelt was not doing enough to provide relief. b. They believed it
yuradex [85]

The correct answer is B) They believed it gave the government too much power in the economy.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal Program was meant to help America recover from the Great Depression. One way in which Roosevelt wanted to accomplish this was by creating several different federal work programs. This includes programs like the Works Progress Administration, Civilian Conservation Corp, etc.

However, conservatives felt that the economy works best when the government has little involvement. This is why they opposed these federal programs.

How did European imperialism affect the people of Africa?
dimaraw [331]
The first is the best option.

It is true that a lot of cultural aspects of Africa have been lost, most specifically, religion.

If we look at imperialism, its height came after the main period of African slave trade (second answer is false).

The tribal conflicts are still very ripe in Africa, and often they're fueled by the carefulness boundary drawing of countries in Africa- the third answer is false.

More self-rule is also false, if anything, imperialism brought less self-rule
