Answer:
In April 1775, the "shots heard around the world" were fired at Lexington and Concord. The shots were the result of colonial tension toward the acts passed by the British government. The colonial militia was victorious at Lexington and Concord. Delegates to the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia three weeks after the battles at Lexington and Concord. The Congress selected John Hancock as its president. Hancock was one of the richest colonists. He used his wealth to fund the Sons of Liberty in his home state of Massachusetts. The Congress also selected George Washington as the commander of the Continental Army. In an attempt to avoid a full-scale war, the Congress sent King George the Olive Branch Petition. In it, the colonists asked the King to protect their rights and told the King that they wanted peace. King George rejected their petition and began preparing for war.
On this date in 1821, Missouri entered the Union as the 24th state. It was the first one located entirely west of the Mississippi River.
By 1818, the Missouri Territory, part of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, had gained enough settlers to qualify for statehood. Its settlers, however, had come mostly from the South and expected it would be a slave state. When a Missouri statehood bill came before the House, Rep. James Tallmadge of New York proposed amending the measure to bar bringing slaves into the new state and providing for the ultimate emancipation of all slaves born in Missouri. The House approved that approach in 1819. But the Senate refused to go along.
In early 1820, a bill to admit Maine passed the House. Alabama had come into the Union as a slave state in 1819. With Alabama's admission, there were an equal number of senators from free and slave states in that body. Since Maine would come in as a free state, proponents of admitting Missouri as a slave state argued that equality would be retained at 12 each by pairing the two.
The Senate then voted to bar slavery in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase north of the southern boundary of Missouri ? except in Missouri. Although the House rejected this compromise, conferees agreed that Missourians could adopt a constitution that permitted slavery.
But the House rebelled anew when a drafted state constitution barred bringing any free blacks into Missouri. The territorial legislature backed down and pledged that nothing in its constitution could be interpreted as abridging the rights of U.S. citizens. (Slaves were not citizens.) That deal held until 1854, when the Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise. In 1861, when other slave states seceded to trigger the Civil War, Missouri chose to remain in the Union.

Answer: Well, as Caesar got older, his wealth increased exponentially. First when he was a soldier, he was very poor, although he was technically a patrician. Then, he climbed the rungs of the Senate ladder, from quaestor, to aedile, to praetor, and finally he became the consul of Rome. This is also when he became part of the First Triumvirate, along with Crassus and Pompey. Right now, he had gotten very rich, but was also deeply indebted. Then, he became a proconsul and went on to govern three prestigious provinces, Illyricum, Cisalpine Gaul and Transalpine Gaul. He became even more indebted as he raised a few legions at his own personal expense. But, when the Gallic Wars ended, Caesar was probably the richest Roman, due to the massive plunder and slaves he gained from this war. He got even more plunder, after turning Egypt into a client kingdom, defeating and plundering the Kingdom of Pontus, and defeating the Pompeians at Thapsus, Pharsalus and Munda. He gave each Roman soldier 100 talents of silver, and a plot of land in Roman territory, and also every Roman citizen 1 silver talent. This was like 10 years worth of wages. Still, he remained the richest Roman, and Octavian inherited this wealth, without which he would not have won against Mark Antony. Hopes this helps pls pls mark me as brainliest
