The differences between the Federalists and the Antifederalists are
vast and at times complex. Federalists’ beliefs could be better
described as nationalist. The Federalists were instrumental in 1787 in
shaping the new US Constitution, which strengthened the national
government at the expense, according to the Antifederalists, of the
states and the people. The Antifederalists opposed the ratification of
the US Constitution, but they never organized efficiently across all
thirteen states, and so had to fight the ratification at every state
convention. Their great success was in forcing the first Congress under
the new Constitution to establish a bill of rights to ensure the
liberties that the Antifederalists felt the Constitution violated.

Answer:
B) Plattsburgh.
Explanation:
The Battle of Plattsburgh, also called the Battle of Lake Champlain, was fought on September 11, 1815. It was a naval and a land engagement at the same time. The British land force surrendered at the end, and the British naval commander, captain George Downie, was killed in action. The British force of George Prevost had to return to lower Canada, from where it had invaded American territory.
the system is racist has become a pretty regular beat for conservative crime pundit Heather Mac Donald.
Of particular concern to some on the right is the term “systemic racism,” often wrongly interpreted as an accusation that everyone in the system is racist. In fact, systemic racism means almost the opposite. It means that we have systems and institutions that produce racially disparate outcomes, regardless of the intentions of the people who work within them. When you consider that much of the criminal-justice system was built, honed and firmly established during the Jim Crow era — an era almost everyone, conservatives included, will concede rife with racism — this is pretty intuitive. The modern criminal-justice system helped preserve racial order — it kept black people in their place. For much of the early 20th century, in some parts of the country, that was its primary function. That it might retain some of those proclivities today shouldn’t be all that surprising. (sorry I just searched something, I had a whole paper on this but lost it :( so sorry)
Can you rephrase the question? I’m not sure what you’re asking.
