Answer:

One of the greatest confederate victories

Explanation:

December 11-15, 1862

Physical battle on the 13th.

In short, this battle was one of the largest battles of the civil war with around 200,000 soldiers involved. There were 120,000 union troops to Lee's 80,000 confederate army. The union let by a newly appointed commander Ambrose Burnside, staged an attack across the Rappahannock River on both sides of Lee's army, the confederates held strong and were able to move out before the union bulk could arrive and eventually the union forces retreated after massive casualities (13,000ish union to 5,000 for the Grey coats). The loss was a huge blow to the union and gave the confederate army a boost in morale after failed invasion attempt the prior year.

The Monroe Doctrine expressed the idea that new countries should be allowed to develop without interference from stronger nation
Archy [21]

Answer:

In my opinion, the United States does not follow this doctrine, although there are no longer any cases of "new countries" if there is the case of strong countries, including the United States, and developing or third world countries, as there are in Latin America, where the United States has been accused of intervening:

  1. Support the coup d'etat of Pinochet in Chile under the government of President Nixon in 1973.
  2. Orchestrate the coup against Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala in 1984.
  3. Suppress protests in foreign countries as happened in Panama in 1964 under the mandate of President Johnson (APARICIO PINDADO, Daniel. 2016).

As well as the constant invasion of Middle Eastern countries in the search for nuclear weapons or terrorist groups that could threaten US sovereignty, as well as the recent friction with Iran.

Therefore, the inclusion of the United States as a strong country vis-à-vis other countries is undeniable and demonstrates that the Monroe doctrine (attributed to President James Monroe) is no longer applied by the country, at a time when more than ever countries should exercise their own government and be architects of its future.

Explanation:

The United States has been involved in different acts around the world that would suggest that the Monroe doctrine should only be applied when the country was a new or weak country, now that it is a strong country, it does not consider that doctrine applicable.

In what ways did African slavery in the British colonies grow out of servitude and bear close similarities to it, and in what wa
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Directly or indirectly, the economies of all 13 British colonies in North America depended on slavery. By the 1620s, the labor-intensive cultivation of tobacco for European markets was established in Virginia, with white indentured servants performing most of the heavy labor. Before 1660 only a fraction of Virginia planters held slaves. By 1675 slavery was well established, and by 1700 slaves had almost entirely replaced indentured servants. With plentiful land and slave labor available to grow a lucrative crop, southern planters prospered, and family-based tobacco plantations became the economic and social norm.
