The King's family saved his life and spared him the death penalty.

Alberta Williams King, the mother of Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed during a church service by Marcus Wayne Chenault six years after the association of her son (1974).  She was 69 years old.

Her killer was a 23-year-old, college drop-out, black man from Ohio. He stated that he shot Mrs. King because she was a Christian and all Christians 'were his enemies'. His original target was Martin Luther King Sr., but he aimed at his wife because she was seated closer to him.

Chenault was sentenced to death but it was because of the King's family that his life was spared.  The Kings are firmly opposed to the death penalty so they pushed for his sentence to be changed into life in prison. Chanault died in prison some years later after suffering a stroke.

bulgar [2K]

The correct answer is "C: He trained long-range snipers that struck terror in the hearts of his opponents."

Pancho Villa was a revolutionary general and one of the most important figures in the independence of Mexico. He was widely known to be a brilliant tactician on the battlegrounds. Instead of using traditional military formations, he adopted alternative "guerilla" style tactics, trying to evade direct open-field contact with the enemy.

He would fill a locomotive with explosives and send it into the enemy's depot where it would subsequently explode and leave the enemy short on supplies. he would also train snipers in order to inflict fear in these enemies, as they felt helpless while seeing their comrades fall with and no enemies to be seen.

How did the Kansas-Nebraska act make the Civil War more likely to happen?
Radda [10]

Answer:

It temporarily avoided a civil war again, popular sovereignty being used as a factor to decide whether the state will be free or a slave state. The slavery issue is becoming worse and more violent. This is igniting the fire of civil war. It effectively repealed both the Missouri Compromise 1820 and Compromise of 1850.
