The Olmec civilization is considered the earliest mesoamerican empire.
Answer:
South Carolina was outraged over British tax policies in the 1760s that violated what they saw as their constitutional right to "no taxation without representation". Merchants joined the boycott against buying British products. When the London government harshly punished Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party, South Carolina's leaders joined 11 other colonies (except Georgia) in forming the Continental Congress. When the British attacked Lexington and Concord in the spring of 1775 and were beaten back by the Massachusetts Patriots, South Carolina rallied to support the American Revolution. Loyalists and Patriots of the colony were split by nearly 50/50. Many of the South Carolinian battles fought during the American Revolution were with loyalist Carolinians and the part of the Cherokee tribe that allied with the British. This was to General Henry Clinton's advantage. His strategy was to march his troops north from St. Augustine, Florida, and sandwich George Washington in the North. Clinton alienated Loyalists and enraged Patriots by attacking a fleeing army of Patriot soldiers who posed no threat. Enslaved Africans and African Americans chose independence by escaping to British lines where they were promised freedom.

Correct answer: B) Voters lost faith in the Republican Party’s handling of Reconstruction.
Grant had granted positions in his administration to people he thought he could rely on, rather than choosing them based on their merits and qualifications. The poor governance and scandals included members of his cabinet as well as other government agencies. There is no relationship to the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, as that project was nearly complete already when Grant took office as president. (His presidential term began March 4, 1869. The Transcontinental Railroad was completed May 10, 1869.)
Reform movements began to appear in response to the corruption in the Grant administration, not only in the Democratic Party, but also among Republicans. The Liberal Republicans were a faction that split from Republican Party in 1872, to oppose the reelection of Grant.
