Answer:

Explanation:

This type of question is focussing on causation – the reasons why something happened. It is also assessing your knowledge of the period. You will be given stimulus points to prompt you in the right direction.

After 19 years of imprisonment, Mary, Queen of Scots is beheaded at Fotheringhay Castle in England for her complicity in a plot to murder Queen Elizabeth I.

In 1565, she married her English cousin Lord Darnley in order to reinforce her claim of succession to the English throne after Elizabeth’s death. In 1567, Darnley was mysteriously killed in an explosion at Kirk o’ Field, and Mary’s lover, the Earl of Bothwell, was the key suspect. Although Bothwell was acquitted of the charge, his marriage to Mary in the same year enraged the nobility. Mary brought an army against the nobles, but was defeated and imprisoned at Lochleven, Scotland, and forced to abdicate in favor of her son by Darnley, James.

In 1568, Mary escaped from captivity and raised a substantial army but was defeated and fled to England. Queen Elizabeth initially welcomed Mary but was soon forced to put her friend under house arrest after Mary became the focus of various English Catholic and Spanish plots to overthrow Elizabeth. Nineteen years later, in 1586, a major plot to murder Elizabeth was reported, and Mary was brought to trial. She was convicted for complicity and sentenced to death.

On February 8, 1587, Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded for treason. Her son, King James VI of Scotland, calmly accepted his mother’s execution, and upon Queen Elizabeth’s death in 1603 he became king of England, Scotland and Ireland.

Would you rather live in Jamestown or Plymouth? why or why not?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:If I had to choose which colony to live in between Plymouth & Jamestown, I would choose Plymouth. The reason I would live in Plymouth is because I’d probably die in Jamestown because of an Indian attack, or a disease. In Plymouth, there is peace with the Indians and the colony. I also wouldn’t be in Jamestown because I am not a greedy person who looks for gold instead of food and starves to death because of it. I’d rather be searching for food and shelter rather than waste my time trying to find gold only to find fool’s gold. Also, think of the privilege it would be to witness the first Thanksgiving!

Why white supremacists carried medieval signs in charlottesville?
Ad libitum [116K]
White supremacists carried medieval signs in Charlottesville because the miedeval signs are used by people in France and Britain to represent a time of racial purity in their country that never existed and never will exist. In general, white supremacists just want to make up fantasies of a time that never existed with the miedeval signs.
