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.

Is the cuban government strong or weak?

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Cuba's Communist government has survived more than 50 years of US sanctions intended to topple veteran leader Fidel Castro.It also defied predictions that it would not survive the collapse of its one-time supporter, the Soviet Union.Since the fall of the US-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959, Cuba has been a one-party state led by Mr Castro and - since February 2008 - by his chosen successor and younger brother, Raul. Fidel Castro exercised control over virtually all aspects of Cuban life through the Communist Party and its affiliated mass organisations, the government bureaucracy and the state security apparatus.Exploiting the Cold War, Fidel Castro was for decades able to rely on strong Soviet backing, including annual subsidies worth $4-5 billion, and succeed in building reputable health and education systems. But, at least partly because of the US trade sanctions, he failed to diversify the economy. Please give me the brainliest answer?

Warned that the issue of slavery could destroy the nation.

fomenos

Lincoln's 1857 Emancipation Proclamation warned that the issue of slavery could destroy the nation.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

This proclamation was given by Abraham Lincoln when the civil war was in its third year. The proclamation changed the status of almost 3.5 million slaves. The slaves were freed post the proclamation.

Slavery was a major issue that had led to the civil war and this proclamation changed the manner in which slavery was viewed.

The proclamation made freeing the slaves an explicit goal of the war. The proclamation did not lead to immediate abolition of slavery but ensured that most of the slaves in the Union were freed.
