How did differences between Creoles and Americans contribute to political tension during Louisiana’s territorial period?

Answer:

The best responses for the differences that arose due to political tension during Louisiana's territorial period: Different American systems led to Creole concerns as to whether previous land grants would be honored; and Louisiana’s Creole population disagreed with the American denial of rights for Louisianans of color.

Explanation:

Louisiana was very different from the United States at the time of the territorial period. It had spent many years under French and then Spanish rule, and then back to French again. The result was that the culture in New Orleans was different in terms of language and religion, and in the Spanish system settlers to the region were given land grants. The Creoles were worried that the new American legal system would not recognize the legality of their holdings (Chamberland and Faber, 2014).

The new American territorial legislature also enacted a new slave code in 1806 that denied the few rights that the Louisiana system had given to slaves previously, called the <em>Code Noir</em>. The slaves in Louisiana were no longer permitted to inherit anything or to own property and they could not purchase themselves as a way to gain their freedom. People of color were expected suddenly to treat whites with deference in the 1806 code, something that previously was not codified into Louisiana law.  There was also a significant free black population in New Orleans at the time of the Louisiana Purchase that would gradually see their privileges and rights revoked and suppressed once Louisiana became a state (Hanger, 2007).

Give a summary of at least 5 significant characteristics of YOUR adolescent development you have experienced on the following:
andriy [413]

I am a teenager currently, here is my verse.

The teenager is a uniquely human phenomenon.

Adolescents are known to be moody, insecure, argumentative, angst-ridden, impulsive, impressionable, reckless and rebellious. Teenagers are also characterised by odd sleeping patterns, awkward growth spurts, bullying, acne and slobbish behaviour. So what could be the possible benefit of the teenage phase?

Most other animals - apes and human ancestors included - skip that stage altogether, developing rapidly from infancy to full adulthood. Humans, in contrast, have a very puzzling four-year gap between sexual maturity and prime reproductive age. Anthropologists disagree on when the teenage phase first evolved, but pinpointing that date could help define its purpose.

There are a variety of current explanations for the existence of teenagers. Some believe that we need longer for our large brains to develop. Other explanations suggest that a teenage phase allows kids to learn about complex social behaviour and other difficult skills, or that it is even required to develop coordinated bipedal bodies adapted to travelling long distances.

Raging hormones

Scientists once thought that the brain's internal structure was fixed at the end of childhood, and teenage behaviour was blamed on raging hormones and a lack of experience. Then researchers discovered that the brain undergoes significant changes during adolescence.

According to many recent studies, teen brains really are unique (see interactive graphic). Though many brain areas mature during childhood, others mature later - such as the frontal and parietal lobes, responsible for planning and self-control.

Other studies have shown that teens fail to see the consequences of their actions, and that sudden increases in nerve connectivity in teen brains may make it difficult for teenagers to read social situations and other people's emotions.

Risky behaviour

One study in 2004 showed that teens have less brain activity in areas responsible for motivation and risk assessment, perhaps explaining why they are more likely to take part in risky activities such as abusing drugs and alcohol, develop a hard-to-kick smoking habit or indulge in under-age sex.

Teenage pregnancies and rising rates of sexually transmitted diseases among teens are big problems - especially because today's teen generation is the biggest the world has seen: a 2003 UN report revealed that 1 in 5 people were between 10 and 19, a total of 1.2 billion people.

But not everyone agrees on the best way to tackle the problem. Some believe that comprehensive sex education is the key, while others argue for abstinence only education courses.

marusya05 [52]
The answer is "<span>It was a subtle way to make participants feel more or less confident."
</span>
When the arguments were solid, individuals who gestured or nodded their heads concurred with them more than individuals who shook their heads, on the grounds that the head nodders had more trust in the solid contentions that they heard, But when contentions were frail, head gesturing had the contrary impact, it gave individuals more certainty that the contentions they heard were powerless, making them less persuading.Thus we conclude from this that anything you can do to influence individuals to have more trust in your message will make it more compelling, as long as your contentions are solid.
