Answer:

The British Agricultural Revolution, or Second Agricultural Revolution, was the unprecedented increase in agricultural production in Britain due to increases in labour and land productivity between the mid-17th and late 19th centuries. Agricultural output grew faster than the population over the century to 1770, and thereafter productivity remained among the highest in the world. This increase in the food supply contributed to the rapid growth of population in England and Wales, from 5.5 million in 1700 to over 9 million by 1801, though domestic production gave way increasingly to food imports in the nineteenth century as the population more than tripled to over 35 million.[1] The rise in productivity accelerated the decline of the agricultural share of the labour force, adding to the urban workforce on which industrialization depended: the Agricultural Revolution has therefore been cited as a cause of the Industrial Revolution.

However, historians continue to dispute when exactly such a "revolution" took place and of what it consisted. Rather than a single event, G. E. Mingay states that there were a "profusion of agricultural revolutions, one for two centuries before 1650, another emphasising the century after 1650, a third for the period 1750–1780, and a fourth for the middle decades of the nineteenth century".[2] This has led more recent historians to argue that any general statements about "the Agricultural Revolution" are difficult to sustain.[3][4]

One important change in farming methods was the move in crop rotation to turnips and clover in place of fallow. Turnips can be grown in winter and are deep-rooted, allowing them to gather minerals unavailable to shallow-rooted crops. Clover fixes nitrogen from the atmosphere into a form of fertiliser. This permitted the intensive arable cultivation of light soils on enclosed farms and provided fodder to support increased livestock numbers whose manure added further to soil fertility.

C. Some school systems were shut down instead of integrating schools.

For example, in Prince Edward County, Virginia, the school system was shut down for five years rather than integrate their schools. Other school systems in Virginia were also part of this "massive resistance" movement against the Brown v. Board decision -- a strategy declared by Virginia Senator Robert Byrd.

Explain how imagery is used, in this painting, to support the idea of Manifest Destiny. Your answer should include examples from

cestrela7 [59]

The woman in the middle of the painting seen putting down telegraph lines is representative of "American Progress." Imagery is everywhere: the farmers tilling the ground, trains and people moving towards the West, Columbia (as the woman is named) laying down telegraph lines, and Native Americans and Buffalo being driven out. Most of the painting is accurate of what was happening at the time: rapid Western expansion and the push-out of the Native Americans who lived in the lands.

The most important form of imagery in this painting is Columbia. In the painting, she guides the settlers and clears the clouds above her, evoking emotion and instilling the idea of Manifest Destiny within people who view the painting.

Were there successful acts of resistance and consolidations of liberty that stand out as important? Were there equally important

Marina CMI [18]

There have been successful acts of resistance and consolidations of liberty in America since its foundation as the thirteen English colonies.

The first act of resistance that consolidated liberty was the American Revolution. It wrestled liberty from the English Monarchy and gave the Americans a voice in how government ruled. The days of taxation without representation came to a near end.

The Shays' Rebellion (1786 to 1787) was another landmark resistance to an oppressive government. It involved armed uprisings in Massachusetts and Worcester because of the debt crisis and continued imposition of taxation without representation by the Continental Government of the state. The Shays' Rebellion prompted the drafting of the Constitution of the Federal Republic with the accompanying Bill of Rights. To date, the Bill of Rights has become the centerpiece of all resistance to the usurpation of liberty.

Lastly, the Civil Rights Movement (1954 - 1968) nailed the coffin of white supremacy, black slavery, and segregation. The Supreme Court backed the movement with its landmark ruling, in Brown v. Board of Education, that overturned "the separate but equal facilities" doctrine (Jim Crow obnoxious laws) that enveloped the liberty of America's people of color for many centuries.

Thus, the remaining constraints to acts of resistance include the eradication of American Nazism and the full acceptance of the principles of the Constitution, which recognized that all peoples are created equal before God.
