where are most of the large cities located in canada located close close to or far away from the u.s. border
Orlov [11]

Explanation:

Most of the large cities in Canada are located close to the US border. For example, there are Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

Most of Canada's population lives along the southern border because of the climate. Although Canada is very large geographically, a lot of the area is, not necessarily uninhabitable, but has much more extreme weather conditions (colder) and is more expensive to live in.

The earlier settlers settled closer to the south because of the water channels, especially the St. Lawrence river which flows out to the Atlantic. Early settlers travelled by boat, which transports only in bodies of water.

SSSSS [86.1K]

This was a time of ongoing religious wars known as "Holy Wars". The capital of the Byzantine Empire, known as Constantinople, had fallen at the hands of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, who practiced the Muslim faith.

As a response, the western Christians gathered in arms and started a series of military campaigns known as <em>"The Crusades"</em> with the objective of retaking territories that were currently under Turkish (Muslim) control in the name of God. Spain had been one of these conquested territories, so at the time, people living in the Iberian Peninsula could be either Christian or Muslim.

6. Which view best summarizes Lincoln's position on slavery in 1858?

  • D. Slavery should not spread because it is morally and politically wrong.

<em><u>Further explanation</u></em><em>:</em>

  1. John Brown (1800-1859) was an abolitionist who supported armed struggle against existing laws and government in order to end slavery.  In October 1859, Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.  The intent was to arm slaves to fight for their freedom and set in motion a slave revolt that would spread across other regions in the South.  The effort was unsuccessful and Brown was hanged for treason against Virginia.
  2. President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863.   in the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln affirmed the principle stated by the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal.  The massive number of casualties at the Battle of Gettysburg  gave impetus to Lincoln's words about preserving the Union and government of the people, by the people and for the people -- ideas which had been central to Lincoln's worldview before Gettysburg as well as in that speech.
  3. Lee's surrender to General Ulysses Grant of the Union occurred on April 9, 1865, near the town of Appomattox Court House, Virginia.  This was the effectively the end of the US Civil War.
  4. As pointed out by Daniel White in an article on <em>Owlcation </em>about advantages the South did have, one key was military leadership.  White writes:  "Many Southern political and military leaders were graduates of the military academy at West Point, as well as veterans of wars such as the Mexican-American War ... while the Union struggled for the first few years of the war to find strong leaders ."
  5. Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was hugely popular with abolitionists around the world.  The book was the 2nd-best selling book of the 19th century -- coming in behind only the Bible (the perennial bestseller).  
  6. As the History Channel reports, "Lincoln did believe that slavery was morally wrong, but there was one big problem: It was sanctioned by the highest law in the land, the Constitution."  So Lincoln wrestled with the issue of slavery as a moral wrong, and yet something that had Constitutional approval.
