Answer:
Portuguese discoveries (Portuguese: Descobrimentos portugueses) are the numerous territories and maritime routes recorded by the Portuguese as a result of their intensive maritime exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries. Portuguese sailors were at the vanguard of European exploration, chronicling and mapping the coasts of Africa, Canada, Asia, and Brazil, in what became known as the Age of Discovery. Methodical expeditions started in 1419 along West Africa's coast under the sponsorship of prince Henry the Navigator, with Bartolomeu Dias reaching the Cape of Good Hope and entering the Indian Ocean in 1488. Ten years later, in 1498, Vasco da Gama led the first fleet around Africa to India, arriving in Calicut and starting a maritime route from Portugal to India. Portuguese explorations then proceeded to southeast Asia, where they reached Japan in 1542, forty-four years after their first arrival in India.[1] In 1500, the Portuguese nobleman Pedro Álvares Cabral became the first European to discover Brazil.

Immigrants faced problem of hatred and social problems in US.
Explanation:
Immigration of the Polish to US started in 18th century and high immigration was recorded in the year 1870. Mostly they are settled in Texas and Chicago. Immigration of the Irish to US started in 1820 and up to 1840, 2.2 millions of Irish people migrated to US. They are settled in Boston and New York. immigration of the Chinese to US started in 1838 and high immigration was recorded in the year 1850. They were settled in California and states west of the Rocky Mountains. Problem faced by Chinese and Polish immigrants were hatred by anti-immigrants riots and pressure. Unsanitary conditions and the social problems such as violence, alcoholism and crime were the problems faced by Irish people. These immigrants bring a big change in the culture of the American people in American society.
Prior to the Revolutionary War, the US experienced a colonial form of government, which differs from a Republic in several significant ways:
- A colony is ruled by a foreign power. In the case of the US, this power was England. A republic, on the other hand, is autonomous, and it forms its own government.
- A colony is usually ruled by a monarch (it is not a necessary requirement, but it has been so in practice), while republics elect their leader through voting.
- Republics tend to be democratic and participatory, with no inherited power positions.
- A republic has the power to make its own laws in terms of taxation, rights and duties, education, healthcare, etc. while the colony has to follow those of the mother country.
- Republics tend to have their own constitution.
Answer:
The abolitionist movement was an organized effort to end the practice of slavery in the United States. The first leaders of the campaign, which took place from about 1830 to 1870, mimicked some of the same tactics British abolitionists had used to end slavery in Great Britain in the 1830s. Though it started as a movement with religious underpinnings, abolitionism became a controversial political issue that divided much of the country. Supporters and critics often engaged in heated debates and violent — even deadly — confrontations. The divisiveness and animosity fueled by the movement, along with other factors, led to the Civil War and ultimately the end of slavery in America.
