Answer:

this prolly doesnt help but here.

Explanation:

Emancipation is the process of freeing slaves through government action. Manumission takes place when masters free their slaves voluntarily. When a government ends slavery completely, the process is known as abolition. Before the Revolution slavery was legal in all thirteen British mainland colonies. Some of the northern colonies allowed masters to manumit their slaves, and there was a significant free black population in all of them. On the eve of the Revolution, voluntary manumission was illegal in most of the South, and even where it was permitted, the practice was not common.

During the Revolution thousands of masters freed slaves who were willing to fight in the American army or local militias. Throughout New England male slaves became free black soldiers, and many were able to gain liberty for their wives and children as well at this time. Even in the South some masters freed slaves so that they could fight in the army. For example, in the legislative session of 1782–1783, Virginia passed a law declaring that all slaves who had served in the army and been honorably discharged were entitled to their freedom and condemning as "contrary to the principles of justice" those masters who tried to reenslave former soldiers.

enot [183]

Historians refer to the rise of Andrew Jackson to the presidency as a “triumph of the white man’s democracy” because during the so-called “Age of Jackson” the right to vote was extended to nearly every white adult male, fueling the modern party system,  and slavery became stronger in the south forcing thousands of Native Americans off their land.

The Democratic-Republican Party split over the presidential succession, when the party faction that supported the old Jeffersonian principles, led by Andrew Jackson, became the modern Democratic Party.

How was the treaty of versailles one of the causes of world war ii?
Vilka [71]
It was one of those things that was very short sighted. It demanded that Germany make payment to the victors (most notably England and France) for the cost of the war.

How was Germany going to do that, they asked. Germany was beaten and her economy was a shambles, to say nothing of the moral of the country. It made it easier for Hitler to take power in the early 30s.
