Answer:

Harriet Beecher Stowe was an American writer and social activist, known mainly for writing the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. She was the daughter of a Congregationalist pastor born in Hartford, Connecticut. From 1832 she worked as a teacher in Cincinnati. Observing slave life in Kentucky (near home) and the abolitionist sentiment at the seminary where she studied had a significant impact on her, in addition to the abolitionist ideals that were defended by her father and the religion she professed. In 1850 she moved to Maine, where she wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, a novel about the fate of a noble and heroic African American slave, Uncle Tom, which contributed to the growth of abolitionist ideas in the United States.

What historical events influenced the American revolution?​
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Escalations began shortly after the end of the French and Indian War —known elsewhere as the Seven Years War in 1763. Here are a few of the pivotal moments that led to the American Revolution. 1. The Stamp Act (March 1765)

Explanation:

The Boston Massacre was a confrontation on March 5, 1770, in which British soldiers shot and killed several people while being harassed by a mob in Boston. The event was heavily publicized by leading Patriots such as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams. British troops had been stationed in the Province of Massachusetts Bay since 1768 in order to support crown-appointed officials and to enforce unpopular Parliamentary legislation. Amid tense relations between the civilians and the soldiers, a mob formed around a British sentry and verbally abused him. He was eventually supported by seven additional soldiers, led by Captain Thomas Preston, who were hit by clubs, stones, and snowballs. Eventually, one soldier fired, prompting the others to fire without an order by Preston. The gunfire instantly killed three people and wounded eight others, two of whom later died of their wounds. The crowd eventually dispersed after Acting Governor Thomas Hutchinson promised an inquiry, but they re-formed the next day, prompting the withdrawal of the troops to Castle Island. Eight soldiers, one officer, and four civilians were arrested and charged with murder, and they were defended by future U.S. President John Adams. Six of the soldiers were acquitted; the other two were convicted of manslaughter and given reduced sentences. The two found guilty of manslaughter were sentenced to branding on their hand. Depictions, reports, and propaganda about the event heightened tensions throughout the Thirteen Colonies, notably the colored engraving produced by Paul Revere.

Boston Tea Party, (December 16, 1773), incident in which 342 chests of tea belonging to the British East India Company were thrown from ships into Boston Harbor by American patriots disguised as Mohawk Indians. The Americans were protesting both a tax on tea (taxation without representation) and the perceived monopoly of the East India Company

In the space below, answer the following questions. Be prepared to write 250 words.
Airida [17]
1. the role of a woman was at first good in a way because they were with the men out-and-about but later when “homes” were built and they werent like nomadic then women would stay in the house and prepare the food etc, overtime women had been seen as lesser and they were seen as property and nothing more than that, not allowed education just “useful for marriage” basically as time goes on it just gets worse and in america during the 80s n so even before like its still bad because the men are making decisions over abortion still have toxic views against women however now its a bit better but still work to be done ig

2. i think both mother and father are important because the child looks up to the both of them and they see how their mother or father acts and theyll “inherit” their behavior in a way obviously a child doesnt need both because a mom can be both the mother and father and same for the fathers but both influence the way the child acts idk if this helped

3. now women are maybe more “educated” on certain topics? the way the women lived their life whatever they dont like to see in the world theyll make sure their child isnt raised to end up like that

idk if any of this helped
