Answer:

C) To back off from

Explanation:

In the context of the passage, the expression shrink means that the soldiers withdraw from the confrontation and the circumstances related to the crisis in the middle of the American Revolution. These soldiers were called sunshine patriots because they only supported the loyal patriots when they were winning. This was George Washington’s huge problem trying to maintain soldiers active during the Revolution.

Use the information from the lesson and the reading from the assignment to answer the question: How has the issue of race shaped
ollegr [7]

The issue of race in South Africa is an ongoing societal conflict. This conflict seemingly began in the colonial-era when the South African region attracted European attention with its minerals, riches, and resources. This led to areas being governed by both the British and Dutch, who even after the abolishment of slavery in the area, continued to bring in slaves. During the apartheid era, white majority rule was maintained and promoted the separation of whites and people of color (Africans, Indians, and Asians) who were sometimes former slaves. Post-apartheid (apartheid=segregation by race) South Africa’s history still feels the effects of these past issues with the continuing violence, racism, and hate crimes between whites and people of color in the area.
