Select the correct answer,
Margarita [4]

Answer:

OA. It provided for its people during emergency situations.

Explanation:

As given in the excerpt from the book <em>Chronicles of the Incas </em>by Pedro de Cieza de Leon, it is easy to understand that the government takes care of its people during their hard times. It also has no discrimination against the poor or the weak, nor does it differentiate between the rich and the poor, or the lords and the common people.

Equality was the main theme of the Incan government, with everyone required to work hard and supply the food for the storage. The statement <em>"No one who was lazy or tried to live by the work of others was tolerated; everyone had to work"</em> rightly provide proof that everyone was treated equal, where even the lords were made to work on the fields and take <em>"the plow in hand and cultivated the earth, and did other things"</em>. The requirement that anyone who is healthy must work and supply the storehouse, and when he is ill or in need of help, he can get however much he wants from the storehouse. Thus,<u> this system shows that there is no demarcation between the people and everyone was free to get what they need but also required to work in providing for the storehouse.  </u>

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Led the Sioux in war after the federal government allowed miners on Sioux reservation
Leya [2.2K]

There were several Native American chiefs in the Great Sioux War of 1876. Sitting Bull and Crazy horse were the two most famous of them. Crazy Horse was a Lakota Chief of the Oglala Tribe who fought several battles against the US army. His most famous war feat was serving as a decoy that lured General Custer into an ambush that ended with a victory for Native Americans. He was killed by a military guard while imprisoned in Nebraska for allegedly resisting incarceration in 1877.

Sitting Bull was a Lakota Chief of the Hunkpapa tribe who fought against the federal army for years before joining other chiefs, including Crazy Horse and inflicting a sever victory over American army men under the command of General Custer in Little Big horn.  He was on the run until 1881 when he surrendered to US forces. After a period of incarceration he met Annie Oakley and joined Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show. At the time of this death he intended to join the Ghost Dance movement and was the subject of an arrest attempt that went wrong and ended up in his death by the gun of a US Indian agent in his reservation in North Dakota on December of 1890.

How personal/political factors led to rebellion against the king of France during the French revolution?
Alecsey [184]
French Revolution (French: Révolution française French pronunciation: ​[ʁevɔlysjɔ̃ fʁɑ̃sɛːz]) was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France and its colonies beginning in 1789. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, catalyzed violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon who brought many of its principles to areas he conquered in Western Europe and beyond. Inspired by liberal and radical ideas, the Revolution profoundly altered the course of modern history, triggering the global decline of absolute monarchies while replacing them with republics and liberal democracies.[1] Through the Revolutionary Wars, it unleashed a wave of global conflicts that extended from the Caribbean to the Middle East. Historians widely regard the Revolution as one of the most important events in human history.[2][3][4]

(10 years, 6 months and 4 days)LocationKingdom of FranceOutcome

Abolition of the French monarchy

Establishment of a secular and democratic republic that became increasingly authoritarian and militaristic

Radical social change based on liberalism and other Enlightenmentprinciples

Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte

Armed conflicts with other European countries

The causes of the French Revolution are complex and are still debated among historians. Following the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution,[5] the French government was deeply in debt. It attempted to restore its financial status through unpopular taxation schemes, which were heavily regressive. Leading up to the Revolution, years of bad harvests worsened by deregulationof the grain industry also inflamed popular resentment of the privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy and the Catholic clergy of the established church. Some historians hold something similar to what Thomas Jefferson proclaimed: that France had "been awakened by our [American] Revolution."[6]Demands for change were formulated in terms of Enlightenment ideals and contributed to the convocation of the Estates General in May 1789. During the first year of the Revolution, members of the Third Estate (commoners) took control, the Bastille was attacked in July, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen was passed in August, and a group of women marched on Versailles that forced the royal court back to Paris in October. A central event of the first stage, in August 1789, was the abolition of feudalism and the old rules and privileges left over from the Ancien Régime.

The next few years featured political struggles between various liberal assemblies and right-wing supporters of the monarchy intent on thwarting major reforms. The Republic was proclaimed in September 1792 after the French victory at Valmy. In a momentous event that led to international condemnation, Louis XVI was executed in January 1793.

Discuss the compromise of 1876.Why did the North decide to call it quits and leave the freed peoples to an unhappy fate Jim Crow
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

<em>The underlying factor here is that the North had agreed to not interfere with the way the southern states handle their black population in the compromise of 1876.</em>

Explanation:

The compromise of 1876 was an undocumented agreement, that was used to settle the disputes that followed the 1876 presidential election, within the United States congress. After the compromise, President Rutherford B. Hayes was declared president, over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, but an agreement was reached that president Rutherford Hayes would ensure the withdrawal of federal troops from former confederate states of the south. Other parts of the agreement was that David M. Key of be appointed as Postmaster General, and<em> the non interference of the north with how the southern states handle their black populations</em>. Some other agreements like he construction of another transcontinental railroad in the south, and the industrial reconstruction of the south were not acted upon.

The North called it quit and left the freed people to an unhappy Jim Crow fate because, part of the agreement reached in the 1876 compromise was that the North wold not interfere with the way the southern states handles their black freed people population. Also, the North was not really affected anyways, and although a few people in the North denounced these laws, nothing much was done about it.
