What brought the American army to the brink of mutiny and a coup d’état in 1783?

History
1 answer:
Andrej [43]4 years ago
4 0

Most of the American soldiers had not been paid in months and many of the promised pensions never came.

The American revoluntionary war was fought by a lot of paid militias who were being paid a good salary.

Once the war was coming to a close, these soldiers were not paid on time and many of the injured and veterans never got the pension funds they were promised.

Eventually, this was creating unease among the soldiers. There were even talks of a coup d'etat against the United States Congress. The event is also known as the Newburgh Conspiracy.

George Washington personally stepped in to ensure that the young democracy was derailed. He gave an emotional speech on the importance of the congress and eventually reached a settlement where paid some of the unsettled salaries and instead of offering half-pay pensions, settled on paying full salary for 5 years.

how did Roosevelt get around the cash and carry requirement of the Neutrality Act when Britain could no longer meet those terms?
Oksanka [162]
The Cash and Carry Policy was all of the items purchased had to be paid with cash and then shipped from the United States on the buyers on personal ships. President Roosevelt got around the cash and carry requirement when Britain couldn't meet the terms anymore by creating the "Land-Lease Act." This allowed the United States to lend or lease arms to any country that was considered a vital asset to the defense of the United States.

Which of the following represents a Pythagorean Triple?
storchak [24]

Answer:

C. 6,8,10

Explanation:

<u>Pythagorean triples</u> are sets of three sides of a triangle (leg, leg, hypotenuse) that are natural numbers, like 3, 4, and 5.

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2, so it's a triple.

6,8,10 is a triple because it can be simplified to 3,4,5 by dividing each term by 2; it's similar to the 3,4,5, so it's a triple.
