As a believer in Manifest Destiny, President Polk promised to annex the territory in the Pacific Northwest known as... Oregon Co
QveST [7]

The correct answer is Oregon Country.

Manifest Destiny is the idea that America should controll all land from "sea to shining sea." More specifically, Polk and other individuals who believed in Manifest Destiny thought America should control all land between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.

In order to do this, America would have to gain land from other countries. One of these countries was Great Britian. Great Britain still had influence in North America, as they controlled part of the modern day Northwest (bordering the United States and Canada). Polk, who had an expanionist mindset, was focused on annexing this territory from the British and use the phrase "54'40 or fight!" to show that he would be willing to go to war with Britian for Oregon territory. Ultimately, war is avoided and the US gains up to the 49th parallel.

How did regionalism affect the formation of group and personal identity among black communities during the first half of the 19t
elixir [45]

The regionalism in the United States played an essential role in composition of group and personal identity among black communities. The black people  in the South were well aware of their bad social position, but they had no other choice, because any attempts to improve this situation resulted in severe punishments. However, in early 19th century, the Northern states started huge protests against slavery. In 1820 the Missouri compromise divided the country into slave states and free states. After 1820 organized groups formed ways to help slaves escape and become free in the North. Some Black people tried to escape on their own. All those events helped to form personal identity of American black community.

Whats a an artistic technique using light and shadows to soften edges
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Chiaroscuro

Explanation:

Chiaroscuro is an artistic technique which uses the effect of light and shadows to soften the edges and provide a more dramatic look to a painting.

It was developed in the Renaissance period in Italy with great artists such as Leonardo Da vinci and Vermeer being some of the earliest known painters to develop it and use it with great precision.

Hence, the style was a mainstay in the Renaissance period and has come to characterize the 'larger than life' feel of many works of art from the Era.

However, chiaroscuro is not limited to painting and was even used in woodcuts.
