Answer:

The correct answer is D. At the Battle of the Alamo, the Texans held off the Mexicans for twelve days but were eventually defeated.

Explanation:

The Battle of the Alamo took place between February 23 and March 6, 1836 during the Texas Revolution. The dispute stood between a Mexican army of 2400 men under the command of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, and about 200 Texas residents, led by Lieutenant Colonel William Travis, who took shelter inside the abandoned mission church of San Antonio de Valero (later known as the Alamo). After 13 days of siege, the defenses were stormed by the superior Mexican forces, who took the plant after a fierce battle. Of the more than 200 defenders, everyone except two fell. The Mexican losses amounted to about 500 dead and wounded.

How did the turmoil of the English civil war affect England's colonial enterprises?
AlexFokin [52]

During the <em>English civil war</em>, England left the colonies alone for a period of twenty years. While the English were fighting the colonies were free and essentially got away with anything, this included not obeying the Navigation Act of 1651.

Commerce in tobacco and materials used in shipping attached the colonies economically to England, the politics and religion also tied the colonies to England, but in general the English left the colonies to their own means. The <em>English civil war</em> demanded the colonists in America to review their place within the English domain; the colonies that were consider old colonies such as Virginia and Maryland supported the crown, while newer colonies like Massachusetts Bay tendered to favor the English Parliament. Nevertheless, during the war all colonies remained neutral, fearing that supporting either side could implicate them in the war.

Charles I's death penalty and execution in 1649 changed that neutrality. Six colonies, including Virginia, declared their loyalty to the dead monarch's son Charles II. The English Parliament replied with and Act in 1650, which levelled an economic imposition forcing them to accept the Parliaments authority.  The Navigation Act of 1651 followed this imposition, pressuring the merchants in every colony to ship goods directly to England in England ships.

Aloiza [94]
Roman civilization is associated with the Twelve Tables, an extensive road system, and the poets Horace and Virgil. The twelve tables was actually created in order to make a universal law for consistency. These tables were actually created to protect a certain category of people like the plebeians and patricians. These laws actually were made to protect the poor plebeians from whom many rich people wanted to take away all the money. The road system of the Roman Empire was also very extensively created for use of the Romans.
