Answer:

4.   Loyalists didn't support the war and moved to Canada.

Explanation:

Today's Americans often regard the War of Independence as a revolution, but in some important ways it was also a civil war. American legalists, or "Tories," as their opponents called them, opposed the revolution, and many took up arms against the rebels.

About 100,000 legalists left the country, including William Franklin, son of Benjamin, and John Singleton Copley, the most important American painter of the time. The majority went to Canada. Some came back later, though several state governments forbade legalists from gaining public office. In the decades after the revolution, Americans preferred to forget the legalists. With the exception of Copley, they were ignored by American history.

What did John Brown and his followers use to "kidnap" or "arrest" James P. Doyle and his sons?
ohaa [14]

Answer: The writer of this book is not an iconoclast, neither has he prejudged John Brown. In 1859 the character was impressed upon his attention in a personal way. An older brother, Joseph E. Wilson, was a member of the company of marines that made the assault on the engine-house at Harper's Ferry, on the morning of October 18th; and from him he heard the story of the fight, and about Brown.

In 1889 the Topeka (Kansas) Daily Capital took a poll of the members of the Kansas Legislature on the question: "Who was the most distinguished Kansan?" or something to that effect. At that time the writer held the opinion that the public services rendered by John Brown in Kansas Territory, were of paramount importance in the settlement of the Free-State contention; and since the course which the nation was at that time pursuing had been arrested by the result of that contention, and diverted into the path which led to the marvelous achievements of the succeeding years; he, therefore, over his signature cast his vote in favor of John Brown; saying, among other things, in his little panegyric, that Brown is the only Kansan whose fame was immortal.

In 1898 he reformed his opinions concerning Brown's character and conduct, and the importance of his public services in Kansas. The change came about through an effort on his part to write a sketch of his life for a work entitled "Eminent Men of Kansas." In good faith, and with much of the confidence and enthusiasm characteristic of Brown's eulogists, he began an investigation of the available historical data relating to the subject; when he found to his surprise, and disgust, that the[Pg 10] history of Brown's career contained nothing to justify the public estimate of him.

Reporting to his associate that he would not write the sketch, he said that he "could find but little in the record of his life which gave him creditable distinction, and that he did not wish to write the discreditable things about him which it contained."

Later he gathered up the threads of Brown's life and has woven them, conscientiously, into the web of history. The story reveals little which is creditable to Brown or worthy of emulation and much that is abhorrent. But he indulges the hope that he has made it clear that his conceptions of the character have not been inspired by "prejudice," "blind" or otherwise, for he has examined the records in the case; an examination which has led him through all the existing testimony concerning Brown; except, that he has not explored the writings which have been put forth by those who have sought, viciously, to attack Brown's character. The opinions therefore which he has set forth are convictions resulting from serious investigation and thought.

In conclusion, the author takes great pleasure in acknowledging the deep sense of his obligation to the late Mrs. Sara T. D. Robinson, wife of Charles Robinson of Kansas, whose generosity, and deep interest in the history of our country, made the publication of this book possible.

Also, he desires to express his gratitude to Dr. William Watson Davis, of the University of Kansas, for the cordial encouragement which he received from him while preparing the work, and for his kindly assistance in molding the text into its present form. Also, to Dr. William Savage Johnson, and to Professor William Asbury Whitaker, Jr., both of the University of Kansas, he wishes to return his thanks for many valuable suggestions.

Lawrence, Kansas, April 15, 1913.

How did the Spanish American ear affect US power in Asia?.
morpeh [17]

In 1898, the Spanish-American War broke out. The US became a powerhouse in Asia thanks to this conflict. With the annexation of Guam and the Philippines, the US expanded its sway over Asia. A peace treaty was concluded between the two nations following the conflict.

As a result of the United States' success in the war, the Spanish were forced to renounce their claims to Cuba and hand up control of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines to the United States in a peace treaty. During the battle, the US also annexed Hawaii, an independent state.

The US gained ownership of and/or influence over a large number of additional areas as a result of its victory in the Spanish American War. A new far-flung empire was formed as a result of these and other geographical acquisitions.
