The Whiskey Rebellion
Irina18 [472]

d. The answer is D because the whiskey rebellion took place from 1791, when a tax over distilled spirits (mainly whiskey in that time in the U.S.) became law, intended to generate revenue for the Revolutionary War debt. It ended three years later, in 1794, when President Washington led a force of over 13,000 men against some 500 violent protesters in Pennsylvania.

This fight, that didn't really take place, led to the formation of two well defined political parties in the United States, the Federalist group stopped being the hegemonic one, making Thomas Jefferson (of the newly formed Republican party) the next president

Ok so I need to write a short essay on ancient Olympics and modern Olympics. I need to include the difference and I should have
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The sporting events at Olympia were the oldest and most important of the four national Greek athletic festivals. The games were held on an official basis every four years from 776 B.C.E., but they probably originated much earlier. Greek myth credited the hero Herakles with devising the running races at Olympia to celebrate the completion of one of his twelve labors.

Olympia was the most important sanctuary of the god Zeus, and the Games were held in his honor. Sacrifices and gifts were offered, and athletes took oaths to obey the rules before a statue of Zeus. The games were announced by heralds traveling to all the major Greek cities around the Mediterranean, and hostilities were banned during the period around the Games to safeguard those traveling to and from Olympia.

The games at Olympia continued with minor interruptions into early Christian times and were the inspiration for the modern Olympic Games, first staged in Athens in 1896.

Equestrian Events

Chariot racing was the most popular spectator sport in ancient times. Up to 40 chariots could compete in a race and crashes were common.

In ancient Greece only the wealthy could afford to maintain a chariot and horses. Chariots had been used to carry warriors into battle, and chariot races, along with other sports events, were originally held at the funeral games of heroes, as described in Homer’s Iliad.

Wealthy citizens and Greek statesmen were anxious to win such a prestigious event. They sometimes drove their own chariot, but usually employed a charioteer. The races took place in an arena called the hippodrome. The most dangerous place was at the turning post, where chariot wheels could lock together and there were many crashes.
