Answer:

c. Have troops in New York sail south toward Yorktown to isolate Virginia by capturing that fort

Explanation:

Considering the available options, the statement that is not a key part of Burgoyne's plan to defeat the Americans during the Revolution is "Have troops in New York sail south toward Yorktown to isolate Virginia by capturing that fort."

The is because General Burgoyne's plan include

1. Retaking up-state New York, by conquering Fort Ticonderoga and other forts in the region. He was able to conquer Fort Ticonderoga on June 2, 1777, which was the initial success.

2. March down from Canada using Natives and British troops to take control of the western frontier. This involves using about British 8000 troops from Canada, then marched southward through New York by passing Lake Champlain and the Mohawk River.

3. Isolate the New England region, especially the colony of Massachusetts, from the other colonies. This is to be done by taking over the Hudson River and then release British General William Howe to attack Philadelphia.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is Option C

Hiw did WW1 change America? (Minimum Paragraph) Please

Unfortunately, American involvement in WWI had some worrisome indirect effects on the country. Wilson had warned that if Americans went to war they would “forget the very meaning of the word tolerance,” and intolerance did increase as a result of our involvement in WWI.But despite the fact that World War I had led to some changes progressive wanted, WWI really ended up killing the progressive movement. In 1920, Wilson decided that the Democrats should make the election a “solemn referendum” on the League of Nations. Up to this point, Republicans in the Senate had blocked US entry. Wilson said: Ok, let’s show them at the polls. Although Wilson himself was not on the ballot anywhere, he did succeed in making the American people think that the big issue in both the presidential and congressional contests was American commitment to the League of Nations. Result? The American people said no to the league—electing a conservative Republican, Warren G. Harding rather than the progressive Democratic nominee, Cox. It wasn’t even close—Harding won by the largest margin of any candidate in American history. Progressiveness was dead—at least for the moment. So WW1 has had a pretty bad impact on america. hope this helped :)

Which was a factor that helped cause the French Revolution of 1848? A. Increased free speech led to changes in popular opinion.

egoroff_w [7]

The correct answer is A) Increased free speech led to changes in popular opinion. During the French Revolution of 1848, this period of time touched on the Enlightenment Age where people such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Voltaire were prominent and who were two philosophers who wrote many texts about the equality of citizens. This was very close to home for the French citizens who were leading miserable lives due to the expenses the French monarchy (an extremely tiny percent of the population vs. the 97 percent population of the proletariat) who were spending unabashedly, while the majority of French people barely had anything to eat.
