It's widely known that cowboys were specially located in the West of the actual United States and north of Mexico, and that this region is also known as the Old West or the Wild West. Cowboys borrowed most of their cultural symbols from Anglo and Hispanic cultures because most of this region used to be part of Spanish colonies that later on were occupied by the Anglo-American settlers.
Answer:
b. religious persecution of the Protestant peasants
c. heavy taxation and seizure of property by the warring factions
Explanation:
The Scotch-Irish Americans were American descendants of the Protestants who migrated to America during the 18th and 19th centuries. These immigrants came to America through Philadelphia and Delaware. Then, they then moved inland and simply claimed the vacant land they saw. However, their movement was a result of many factors. Of these factors, two factors are prominent:
The high rents and religious persecution are often cited as the push and pull factors. Some of the people had their properties heavily taxed. Others, were persecuted by the church at that time.
There's no doubt about it: Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was the father of American poetry. The awesomeness of his poetry is rivaled only by his beard. (Don't believe us? Check that baby out here.)
Think we're exaggerating? We're really not. Whitman, whose life and career spanned the nineteenth century, helped to define what it means to be an American. The dude loved his country. He loved the bustle of the cities and the expansiveness of the wilderness. He loved Abraham Lincoln and the fallen soldiers of the Civil War. He loved technology and industry and he loooooved the American promise of freedom. But most of all, Whitman loved the regular Joes of America, the guys and gals with regular jobs, living out their regular American dreams. Walt Whitman was as impressed by the life of an American shoemaker as he was of the life of Abraham Lincoln. The poet had some serious American pride, and he directed it toward everyone.
Published in Whitman's 1860 edition of his epic collection Leaves of Grass, "I Hear America Singing" is all about this American pride. And it's specifically about pride in work. (What could be more American than a hard day's work, after all?) In the poem, Whitman describes the voices of working Americans toiling away at their jobs; he details the carpenter and boatman, the hatter and the mason, the mother and the seamstress alike. And by imagining that they are all singing, he celebrates them and their hard work, and also creates a vision of an America unified by song and hard work.
Sure, working as a mason isn't glamorous, but cheer up, mason. Walt Whitman hears your voice! He loves your voice! And gosh darn it, he's gonna celebrate your voice in his poetry. For Whitman, the average Joe stone mason is just as important as the president of the U.S. of A. Now that's a vision of democracy we can get behind.
The Treaty of Versailles was extremely mean to Germany. It forced them to repay the countries involved, took land away and adjusted German borders. The terms angered the Germans. Hitler rose to power providing a scapegoat to blame all of the German problems on. This anger and the hope of the problems being solved by this one man/group was what allowed Hitler and the Nazi government to rise to power.
