Answer:

UR

Explanation:

The underground railroad was in fact not a railroad at all but was in fact the route that escaped slaves used to escape from the grasps of the south and enter into the north where they could be free from slavery. The conductor was the homeowner that hid the slaves from bounty hunters that were ordered to chase the slaves down and bring them back to the plantation they came from, stations were the actual houses that the conductors hid the slaves in, the freight was the slaves themselves that were using the underground railroad to escape, and finally the lines/tracks was the route laid down/fixed by abolitionist sympathizers anyway there is my answer hope it helps :)

Compare and contrast the leaders of the Haitian Revolution with the leaders of the South American revolutions. How were the lead
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The Haitian revolution was ignited due to social tensions between French settlers and Gens de couleur (free people of color) , as well as slaves. These social tensions engendered slave revolts and eventually, slaves overthrew the French settlers with the assistance of Toussaint Louverture a former slave and effective military leader. The slaves in Saint-Domingue were able to declare independence on January 1,1804. The Latin American revolution was caused due to Creoles(Euro-American) wanting to be independent from colonial officials from Spain and Portugal. Simon Bolivar was a leader of the Latin American revolution and used the Virgin of Guadalupe to rally people to join against ruling elites in Mexico.

Which of the following are TRUE?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

1.- True

2.- False

3.- True

4.- False

5.- False

Explanation:

1. The Quebec Act of 1774 was a Great Britain's Parliament's act which set  governance guidelines for  Quebec Province.

The province's territory was expanded to take over part of the Indian Reserve, including much of what is now southern Ontario, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota.

After the 7 Years' War, Great Britain defeated France, and a s aconsequence, Peace was formally signed on the 1763 Treaty of Paris. According to this treaty, the Kingdom of France ceded New France to Britain, keeping instead the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique due to  their important production of sugar.

2. The British Army went out of Boston to capture leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington, they were also looking for destroying American Army's weapon store and ammunition in Concord. The colonists were warned however, by riders including Paul Revere, that the British Army was approaching.

3. The most important points he argued for, were:  (1) independence from England and (2) the creation of a democratic republic.

4.   English Parliament’s decisions towards the colonists were taken as aggresions, giving rise to a more and more distant ideology between the colonist’s political, economic, and social ideas and those of the British. Colonists had developed a solid, new identity that helped foster resistance against Britain. However, Americans were not totally unified;  disorganization and uncertainty ruled. There existed some organizations which intended to influence as unification factors for the colonists, e.g. the Continental Congress, but rather than solid political groups they worked more as discussion forums, this meant their work took longer before agreeing or making drastic decisions. Furthermore, American resistance also had a conflict of interests. Many colonists were still in favor of the Crown and did not want to break away from Great Britain, and eve some of them refused to support the revolution, because they felt that a break with Britain would mean economic chaos - which probably was not far from reality.

5. Much of the colonial forces retreatment from the peninsula was possible due to the controlled withdrawn of the forces led by John Stark and Thomas Knowlton, which prevented the encirclement of the hill.  General Putnam tried to gather the troops once more on Bunker Hill, but colonial drawdown was so quick that artillery pieces and entrenching tools were left behind. The colonists suffered most of their casualties during the retreat on Bunker Hill. By 5 p.m., the colonists had already left to fortified positions, and the British were in control of the peninsula.
