Answer:

One of two flags that flew from the locomotive of the Lincoln funeral train on the route between Albany and Utica, New York.

Until the Executive Order of June 24, 1912, neither the order of the stars nor the proportions of the flag was prescribed. Consequently, flags dating before this period sometimes show unusual arrangements of the stars and odd proportions, these features being left to the discretion of the flag maker. In general, however, straight rows of stars and proportions similar to those later adopted officially were used. The principal acts affecting the flag of the United States are the following:

Explanation:

Flag Resolution of June 14, 1777 - stated: "Resolved: that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation."

Act of January 13, 1794 - provided for 15 stripes and 15 stars after May 1795.

Act of April 4, 1818 - provided for 13 stripes and one star for each state, to be added to the flag on the 4th of July following the admission of each new state.

Executive Order of President Taft dated June 24, 1912 - established proportions of the flag and provided for arrangement of the stars in six horizontal rows of eight each, a single point of each star to be upward.

Executive Order of President Eisenhower dated January 3, 1959 - provided for the arrangement of the stars in seven rows of seven stars each, staggered horizontally and vertically.

Executive Order of President Eisenhower dated August 21, 1959 - provided for the arrangement of the stars in nine rows of stars staggered horizontally and eleven rows of stars staggered vertically.

Answer:

2-It was bombed due to acts of war towards japan and dropped a five-ton bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima.. And then three more days later nagasaki was bombed which killed tremendous amount of people

3-They accept defeat 10 days later and they had to because if they didn't they will drop more bombs which encouraged them to accept defeat The surrender ceremony was held on September 2, aboard the United States Navy battleship, at which officials from the japanese government signed the Japanese instrument of surrender

4-The Manhattan project was started because German scientists had been working on a weapon using nuclear technologies and that Adolf Hitler was prepared to use it.The Manhattan Project was the code name for the American-led effort to develop a functional atomic weapon during World War II

5-During that time president Truman was accountable for everything but his main focus was not to attack civilization/agriculture but was entitled to destroy Japan's ability to make war.

6-No, they were not. The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was justified at the time as being moral and this was not attended to using weapons knowing that it would kill civilians and destroy the urban milieu and it was clearly not mortal for the act of thought

Artist 52 [7]

~1.The 19th amendment is a very important amendment to the constitution as it gave women the right to vote in 1920. You may remember that the 15th amendment made it illegal for the federal or state government to deny any US citizen the right to vote. The 19th amendment unified suffrage laws across the United States.
~2.On May 17, 1954, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren delivered the unanimous ruling in the landmark civil rights case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. State-sanctioned segregation of public schools was a violation of the 14th amendment and was therefore unconstitutional.
~3.The Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, is considered one of the crowning legislative achievements of the civil rights movement.
~4.The Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, is considered one of the crowning legislative achievements of the civil rights movement.
~5. As 1681 Et. Seq. On June 23, 1972, the President signed Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.
~6. Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court issued in 1896. It upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities as long as the segregated facilities were equal in quality a doctrine that came to be known as "separate but equal".
