Answer:

Pheidippides was an Athenian fast runner who, according to a myth, would have sprung from the city of Marathon on the eastern part of the Attica Peninsula to Athens with the message that the Greek forces led by Miltiades had triumphed at the Battle of the Marathon in 490 BC. According to the myth, Pheidippides would have died because of the long spurge. He was sent to ask for reinforcements, before the important battle. The Spartans sent troops, but they did not come to the Marathon until the battle was over and the Persians were beaten.

Which military action directly followed the Battle of Put-in-Bay?
leva [86]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Although the United States dominated Lake Erie for the rest of the war, the British made a comeback in the upper lakes in 1814. Four U.S. schooners Little Belt, Chippewa (apprehended at Put-in-Bay), Ariel, and Trippe were sent by Elliot to Buffalo, but were trapped there during the winter. When a British land attack on Buffalo occurred in December 1813, all four ships caught fire. In 1814, Captain Arthur Sinclair, who replaced Perry, took command of the Lake Erie fleet and drove it to Lake Huron to recover Michilimackinac. The joint military and naval force had to tow Niagara and Lawrence through the shallow waters of the Saint Clair River to get them to Lake Huron. The invasion was rejected by a British force on the island of Mackinac, and the schooners Scorpion and Tigress were lost in Georgian Bay. After losing almost all the other ships in a storm, the force returned to Detroit. The schooners were incorporated into the Royal Navy as Confiance and Surprise. When Sinclair returned to Lake Erie, he discovered that two schooners, Somers and Ohio, had also been apprehended off Fort Erie. They became Huron and Sauk.

How do political parties impact the effectiveness of congress
adell [148]

If congress has one party that's in the majority, then that party will likely get more things done in their favor compared to the opposition party. The minority party can slow things down a bit, but not as effectively if they were in the majority.

If congress is evenly split, and there isn't a clear majority, then the amount of new laws and bills passed won't be as much as discussed in the first paragraph. At this point, congress is at a stalemate or deadlock of sorts. This is assuming that the two parties don't work with each other and are on polar opposites of the spectrum. There are instances where the two parties do work together on a number of issues; however, in this current political climate, polarization is higher than ever before.
