Instructions: The following is a passage that Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote in her book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Please read the followi

ng passage and underline the key points. Then answer the questions below.
"The writer has given only a faint shadow, a dim picture, of the anguish and despair that are, at this very moment, riving thousands of hearts, shattering thousands of families, and driving a helpless and sensitive race to frenzy and despair. There are those living who know the mothers whom this accursed traffic has driven to the murder of their children; and themselves seeking in death a shelter from woes more dreaded than death ... "And you, mothers of America ... I beseech you, pity the mother who has all your affections, and not one legal right to protect, guide, or educate, the child of her bosom! ... I beseech you, pity those mothers that are constantly made childless by the American slave-trade! And say, mothers of America, is this a thing to be defended, sympathized with, passed over in silence? Do you say that the people of the free state have nothing to do with it, and can do nothing? Would to God this were true! But it is not true. The people of the free states have defended, encouraged, and participated; and are more guilty for it, before God, than the South, in that they have not the apology of education or custom. "If the mothers of the free states had all felt as they should, in times past, the sons of the free states would not have been the holders, and, proverbially, the hardest masters of slaves ... "... You pray for the heathen abroad; pray also for the heathen at home. And pray for those distressed Christians whose whole chance of religious improvement is an accident of trade and sale; from whom any adherence to the morals of Christianity is, in many cases, an impossibility, unless they have given them, from above, the courage and grace of martyrdom." - Harriet Beecher Stowe

Why is the argument of missile defense in the nation of Cuba a non-starter?
k0ka [10]
The argument of missile defense in the nation of Cuba is a non-starter because the USA will never willingly allow a nation that is so close to its territory, and is an ally of its arch enemy, Russia, to have such a defensive system installed, because it will also mean that Russia may use Cuba as its military base and threaten the USA territory at any moment, from close proximity, and also they will have a protection by any attack as a response.

Los primeros homínidos abandonaron los árboles y comenzaron a caminar erguidos y sobre sus dos pies hace al menos 3,6 millones de años, tal y como confirmó un estudio difundido el viernes por la revista PLoS ONE. Según científicos de tres universidades estadounidenses, se creía que hasta entonces esos homínidos no eran bípedos y que pasaban la mayor parte de su vida en los árboles. A finales de la década de 1960 un grupo de científicos descubrió en Laetoli, Tanzania, marcas de pisadas de homínidos preservadas en cenizas volcánicas desde hacía unos 3,6 millones de años. Las marcas de esas pisadas habrían sido dejadas por miembros del grupo homínido Australopithecus afarensis. Esa especie incluye a 'Lucy', cuyo esqueleto fosilizado es el más completo de un Australopithecus encontrado hasta ahora.

Which is one factor that contributed to the rise of Sikhism?
Mars2501 [29]
The most likely answer is B.. The reason I say this is because you can already rule out A and D. because Sikhism is a monotheistic religion, not a polytheistic religion, meaning they believe in only One God. And Sikhism was actually first made to oppose and differ from Hinduism and Islam.
