I'm not there studying that unit with you, but the answers are likely Gothic and Romanesque.
Answer:
The discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1492, although unexpected because he had never imagined that there could be a new land in his proposed journey towards the East Indies, had one pretty important reason, and it is told by the man himself in the letter that he sends to the Spanish crown and to his own financial supporter, Luis de Santangel.
The reason for this voyage, and the importance it had for Spain, was that commerce with the Far East, and with India, most importantly, had almost altogether stopped due to the blockade from the Arabs. The desire to find a new way to trade with the Asian continent, bypassing the blockade, encouraged first Portugal, and then Spain, to seek the sea as a means to achieve this. Columbus, an expert in cartography, believed that there was a way to reach India and thus proposed the plan to Luis Santangel and the Spanish crown. He received the go ahead and embarked on his journey. In the letter that he sends back, he clearly states the original reason for the journey, that ended with the discovery of these new lands, which he died believing were in Asia, was the need to re-establish commerce. However, later on he gives the Catholic monarchs, Fernando de Aragon and Isabella de Castilla, another reason to keep on with the project: he stumbles upon Natives, which he calls Indians, who would be open to Catholic evangelization, something that was very much in the heart if the Spanish monarchs. Thus, with these two reasons, more voyages are authorized by Spain, towards the newly found land.
<em>Answer:</em>
B) African Americans gained more rights and influence in society
<em>Explanation:</em>
Well, first, you need to know what the KKK was/is. The KKK was a group of white people who used violence against black people because of their racist ways.
Next, you need to look and the answers and find the answers that would obviously be against black people. In this case, we can eliminate answers A and D.
Now we only have B and C to look at. Let's look at C first: The Freedmen's Bureau was created in March of 1865, while the KKK was founded in December of 1865. While it may be possible this was the cause, it is unlikely because of how far apart the dates are. Now let's look and B: Although the Freedmen's Bureau was created in March of 1865, it may have took a little bit for African Americans to start to gain more rights and influence. Once the KKK started to realize that they were gaining rights, they founded their clan and begun to use violence to stop this. :)

A is the correct answer.
Roger Taney was the Chief Justice in the Dred Scott decision that determined that slaves could not be American citizens and therefore did not have the standing to sue in federal court on any matter.
