4 0

The Declaration of Independence was written in 1776 by the Continental Congress. It was viewed as a document of the people wanting to Declare their independence from Britain. After all the taxes/laws the colonists have gone through, they had enough (Stamp Act, Sugar Act, Townshend Act, Intolerable Acts, etc.) Almost all colonists viewed it as their ray of "hope." There are a few loyalists who disapprove, though.

What influences do you think were most important in motivating Japan to build its empire?
hram777 [196]
Well even though they wanted to be an isolated country without other people's cultures mixed in, they did take a couple of things from the Chinese. Like the writing system and the religion (Buddhism). I think they sort of took influences from the Europeans as well, I think. They had samurais, similar to Knights; both held courage and loyalty above all things. I hope a helped a bit!

Why did those sympathetic to slavery in Union Border States such as Kentucky and Delaware not support the Emancipation Proclamat
Reil [10]

Those sympathetic to slavery in Union border states, such as Kentucky and Delaware, did not support the Emancipation Proclamation because it granted freedom to slaves if their home southern states did not join the Union by January 1, 1863.

Missouri, Maryland, Kentucky and Delaware were slave holding border states and not in rebellion from the Union so the Proclamation did not effect their slaves. But, the area of the border states were closely linked to the South and held political, economic, geographic, and social connections to the Southern (and Northern) states. This led border states to not support the Emancipation Proclamation.
