The difference between gentleman’s warfare and militia warfare in the revolutionary war
jekas [21]

Answer:

There's a popular belief that Americans fought and won the entire revolution with nothing but guerrilla warfare. That's not true, and the myth largely stems from how the war began. The very first military engagement between British and American forces occurred on April 19 of 1775. American militia men had been covertly transporting weapons and colonial government leaders from town to town, hiding them from the British army. The British heard about these stockpiles in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord and went to seize them. The American volunteers of these town gathered together to oppose the British, resulting in a brief skirmish. As the British beat a hasty retreat back towards Boston, American militia units basically popped out of the bushes along the entire road, shot a few volleys, and disappeared. It wasn't enough to decimate the British, but the British weren't prepared for it, and it drove them back.

Explanation:

Imagine that you are in charge of leading a small army of volunteer soldiers against the largest and most powerful professional army in the world. Are you going to march straight into battle? Not if you expect it to be a very long one!

For centuries, small armies have relied on guerrilla warfare to help even the odds. This includes non-traditional wartime tactics like ambushing, sabotage, and raids rather than direct engagements. Guerrilla warfare is not meant to really defeat an opponent; instead, the idea is to make the war drag on and become so expensive that your adversary gives up. It's the different between fighting a professional boxer versus a swarm of mosquitoes - the mosquitoes won't kill you, but they just may drive you away.

Amongst the many armies to try out these tactics were the American colonists fighting for their independence. The American Revolution was a conflict between a group of volunteers and a massive professional army. Did they think they could defeat Britain, the heavyweight champion of European colonialism? Maybe not, but while Britain prepared to defend its title, it was the colonists who learned how to 'float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.'

According to Dr. king speech, which form of protest is he most likely supported
MariettaO [177]

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr supported non-violent protest.

For example the Albany movement where Dr. King and peaceful demonstrators were all jailed. Later on they are freed from jail. The Birmingham campaign where protests were held against businesses that only hired “White” Anglo-Saxon Americans or had segregated restrooms. These protests would include sit-ins and marches, which would get them jailed. Dr. King encouraged the nonviolent protest in order for the jails to overflow.

Not until 1925, in gitlow v. new york, did the supreme court hold that the fourteenth amendment protected ______ from state infr
meriva
The correct answer is it protected freedom of speech from state infringement.

This ruling focused on the 14th amendment, which deals with the equal protection clause. This clause ensures that all constitutional rights and federal laws are applied to citizens equally. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that this equal protection of the law includes freedom of speech. This means that state governments can not abuse their power and silence citizens unless there is a clear and present danger.
