History
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

William "Boss" Tweed ran the Democratic party machine in 19th century New York City called Tammany Hall and was eventually convicted of corruption and embezzlement of government funds.

Tweed and his accomplices committed about $30 million to $200 million in fraud. It was only after a series of articles in the New York Times in 1871 that these practices came to an end. Tweed was indicted and in 1873 he was sentenced to an initial 12 years in prison. After serving one year, he was released but was immediately arrested again. A civil suit followed, but on December 4, 1875, Tweed managed to escape. He was eventually detained in Spain by the authorities there and extradited to the US where he would remain in prison until his death two years later.

According to this excerpt from the broken spears, how was christianity spread in mexico?
Alex777 [14]

The Christianity, more specifically the Catholic Christianity, was spread in Mexico mostly by force. This task was performed by the Catholic missionaries, with the assistance of the military. They were forcing the local population to get converted and leave their own native religion behind them, and the methods were anything from verbal persuasion, to torture, and even murder of the ones that were not willing to accept the new faith. The missionaries went so far that they even destroyed pretty much everything (apart from 4 pieces) written about the Mayan religion in an attempt to show their superiority, and also to leave the natives without any basis so that they can continue to practice it.

Yet domestic tranquility literally means “peace at home” – not just in our streets, but in our homes.
