Answer:

The historical development which illustrates the fulfillment of Winthrop's argument is:

(A) Polk negotiated a compromise with the British over Oregon.

Explanation:

Between 1859 and 1872, Great Britain and the US fought a bitter war for the control of Oregon. This war was caused by a stray pig; no wonder, the US termed it: "the Pig War." Earlier John Winthrop had argued that the United States, the New England, was to become "a city on a hill," very conspicuous to all men. Possession of the new land signaled an alliance with the word of God. Failure to uphold the human part of the covenant would expose the country to ridicule. President Polk, fighting the Pig War with Great Britain over Oregon without victory, was a sign of failure to uphold the covenant. The country was exposed to public ridicule because the war only ended with the signing of a treaty (a form of compromise), which ceded the whole of Vancouver to Britain and then Oregon to the US.

What would have been the outcome of WWII in Europe if the US had been truly neutral? Would the result have been to the nation’s

Anna35 [415]

There is a great possibility that the end result of the war was different. For the entry of the United States into the war for victory was providential. If the United States had not entered, perhaps we would live in a different world now, if we consider the importance of the American entry into the war and all of its power in helping its allies to win.

Which Union general's task was to capture Atlanta, a major confederate railroad center?

kiruha [24]

The correct answer is William T. Sherman.

Sherman was responsible for marching troops through the heart of the traitorous Southern States and for capturing Atlanta.

Sherman's March to the Sea was brilliant in that he burned the South as he went while also dodging the Southern Army. He knew that his job was to destroy the Southern economy and was not concerned with fighting the traitorous rebel army.
