Answer:

States provided money in the form of taxes, sent representatives to Congress, and had to supply soldiers during war.

Explanation:

The Articles gave support to the Continental Army and allowed the thirteen States to form a union front before European powers. However, as a tool to build an effective government in times of war, it was a failure. Congress could make decisions, but it did not have the power to implement them. Perhaps, the biggest setback was the unanimous approval requirement of the 13 States to modify the articles. At the same time, the most important power that Congress lacked was the power to collect taxes: it could only request money from the States. These, on the other hand, did not always comply with the demands and Congress did not have the necessary funds for its operation. States and Congress had borrowed during the war, and payment of debts was a matter of national importance.

However, the Confederation Congress took two very important actions. The Earth Ordinance of 1785 established the provisions of the land that would be used during the subsequent expansion of the country. The Ordinance of 1787 (Northwest Ordinance) formalized the resignation of the thirteen original states of the western lands and, at the same time, allowed the entry of new states into the confederation.

As soon as the unit that demanded the War of Independence became unnecessary, the Continental Army was dissolved, although a very small force was preserved to protect the forts and defend the States from the attacks of the Amerindians. However, each state had its own army and 11 of the 13 states had an army. The promises of wealth and land grant that would be made during the war were not fulfilled. In 1783, George Washington appeased the Newburgh conspiracy, but riots by Pennsylvania veterans who had not received their payments forced Congress to leave Philadelphia on June 21.

In what ways did the two koreans grown apart

UNO [17]

North and South Korea have grown apart as a result of their vastly differing ideologies. North Korea is a communist country with very strict restrictions on the movement of its citizens. The North Korean regime is well-known for its cruelty. South Korea, on the other hand, is a democratic country with an open-market economy. In a nutshell, both North and South Korea have radically different political and economic systems. They have been two nations for over sixty years.

35 points + I will give brainiest. How did World War II unite Americans at home?

puteri [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

During World War II many of the young American men had to go to the war and fight, leaving their home workplaces. That is why those who stayed at home had to unite to help the state and the soldiers on the front as much as they could.

It was important to produce much of the war-related materials (airplanes, tanks, weapons, firearms, etc.). In the factories that produced these goods, many of the workers during World War II were women who stayed in the US while men were fighting. A large number of women started also filling the vacancies on the non-war related work fields to keep America's home front alive. They took even the roles of the manual workers, a field that was reserved for men before, to secure the stability of the country.

People also united in collecting and recycling metals, rubber, aluminum and other material that could be valuable in making the necessities for the war. Many churches and church leaders gave the lectures and their help for the war, providing moral support.

As the food was needed on the front, many people started growing their plants, food, and vegetables in the garden to support themselves, leaving other supplies of the food for the troops. There are many posters that we can find urging people to rationalize their food consumption to have enough supplies for everyone.

The number of celebrities united to do propaganda work for the military, raise the goods and money, and bring up the moral, of the troops as well as the everyday people. So many of the movies made during this time also were in the name of the moral – some were meant to light the mood and showed themes not related to the war, while some showed the great things US military did, bad deeds of the Nazis and the victories of the ally forces. This is the direct evidence of how the whole entertainment industry untiled for the cause.

All of these changes and efforts form the people show how everyone was united to win the war and help the troops on the fronts as much as they can from home.
