To build a sod house, you needed the right kind of grass — grass that had densely packed roots that would hold the soil together. So, Nebraska settlers would search for fields of buffalo grass, little blue stem, wire grass, prairie cord grass, Indian grass, and wheat grass. The next task was to cut the sod into bricks.

How did the Navigation Acts affect colonial trade

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

In 1651, parliament passed and imposed the "Navigation Acts" on colonies in the New World. These laws were passed to increase taxes on products shipped into the colonies and materials exported. But it also further restricted trade with foreign countries. Britain used Mercantilism to gain wealth from its colonies and heavily taxed them. But these are key points on how it would further affect trade.

The Navigation Acts were passed in the 17th and 18th centuries to force colonial trade to favor England and prevent colonial trade with the Netherlands, France, and other European countries.

The first of the Navigation Acts was passed in 1651 as a response to the Dutch trade wars and consequent devastation of British trade.

The first Act reinforced a longstanding government principle that English trade should be carried in English vessels; later acts further restricted the trade practices of the colonies in order to increase England’s profit.

The Acts required all of a colony’s imports to be either bought from England or resold by English merchants in England, regardless of what price could be obtained elsewhere.

The Navigation Acts, while enriching Britain, caused resentment in the colonies and were a major contributing factor to the American Revolution, fueled by the later Molasses and Sugar Acts.

What are the seven sacraments of the roman Catholic church that where central to medieval Christian belief

Readme [11.4K]

A sacrament is a Christian rite recognized as of particular importance and significance. There are various views on the existence and meaning of such rites. Many Christians consider the sacraments to be a visible symbol of the reality of God, as well as a means by which God enacts his grace. Many denominations, including the Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, and Reformed, hold to the definition of sacrament formulated by Augustine of Hippo: an outward sign of an inward grace that has been instituted by Jesus Christ.[1][2][3][4] Sacraments signify God's grace in a way that is outwardly observable to the participant.[4]

The Catholic Church and the Old Catholic Church recognise seven sacraments: Baptism, Reconciliation (Penance or Confession), Eucharist (or Holy Communion), Confirmation, Marriage (Matrimony), Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick (Extreme Unction).[4][5] The Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox Church also believe that there are seven major sacraments, but apply the corresponding Greek word, μυστήριον (mysterion) also to rites that in the Western tradition are called sacramentals and to other realities, such as the Church itself.[6][7][8] Many Protestant denominations, such as those within the Reformed tradition, identify two sacraments instituted by Christ, the Eucharist (or Holy Communion) and Baptism.[9] The Lutheran sacraments include these two, often adding Confession (and Absolution) as a third sacrament.[9][10] Anglican and Methodist teaching is that "there are two Sacraments ordained of Christ our Lord in the Gospel, that is to say, Baptism and the Supper of the Lord," and that "those five commonly called Sacraments, that is to say, Confirmation, Penance, Orders, Matrimony, and Extreme Unction, are not to be counted for Sacraments of the Gospel."[11][12]

Some traditions do not observe any of the rites, or hold that they are simply reminders or commendable practices that do not impart actual grace—not sacraments but "ordinances" pertaining to certain aspects of the Christian faith.[13]

A summary of Japanese internment camp

Anastaziya [24]

From 1942 to 1945, it was the policy of the U.S. government that people of Japanese descent would be interred in isolated camps.
