Why do you think Patriots described this incident as the "Boston Massacre" even though only 5 people were actually killed

Because it was one of the biggest ''Massacres'' that ever happened. Also if youve looked at the photo the red coats used guns and knives while the pariots used only axes, picth forks and anything they can get their hands on. Especially since, more than half of the people died on the patriot side than the red coats.

To gain support for the revolutionaries. The story was exaggerated, but the American people bought it. It was used as a recruitment/propaganda campaign to turn as many people against the British occupation as possible.

Leokris [45]

BACKSTORY

For perspective, the beginning of the 1st century is when Jesus Christ was alive. The Jewish people at the time were being harshly ruled over by the Roman Empire and King Herod. this gave rise to many different groups of people.

You had the Pharisees that believed that God would save and free them because they were his chosen people.

You had the Sadducees that chose to cooperate with the Roman Empire.

You had the zealots that believed God wanted them to revolt against the Roman Empire.

You had the Herodions that were chill with King Herod.

And finally, you had the Essenes who wanted the Messiah to come and lead them in a battle against the Roman Empire.

Basically, there was a ton of division among the Jews, which started to create a lot of tension among them. When Jesus came, many of the Jews supported him, but many did not as there were so many different types of Jews around, and the Jews that didn't like him had a lot of power, which is what led him to be crucified.

The people who supported Jesus Christ were now known as Christians, and the people who didn't were still part of the Jewish faith.

Then, Rome got a new emperor named Nero and he was a horrible person to both the Christians and the Jews which got everybody really angry, so they started to protest the Romans like crazy. Then, a local governor named Florus stormed Jerusalem with armies and stole tons of stuff and took the lives of thousands of innocent people. Everybody got super angry at each other because of these Jerusalem conflicts.

Then, the Gentiles (people who didn't believe in God) got super angry at the Jews and took the lives of thousands of them, and then there were many more horrible massacres, totaling into the hundred thousands.

Then, the Romans ended up taking over Jerusalem and destroying The Temple. It was extremely horrible, costing probably millions of Jews their lives.

CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE

Now that we know the basic backstory, let's think about what the Christians did. What were they doing? Well, Paul was a a preacher of Christianity, and he was going out and about spreading Christ's gospel. Really, they weren't doing anything at all with the revolts. They were not involved at all. Jesus had prophesied of them, so they scattered, which is why Christianity is much more widespread than Judaism. Most Jews still live in Jerusalem because they mostly stayed put and endured through the crazy riots.

DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM

The destruction of Jerusalem most definitely made the Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah as he had warned them to leave Jerusalem many years before, which was an important revelation that helped save their lives.

Why did the mormons immigrate to utah?

ryzh [129]

The Mormon pioneers were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), also known as Latter-day Saints, who migrated across the United States from the Midwest to the Salt Lake Valley in what is today the U.S. state of Utah. At the time of the cease fire and planning of the exodus in 1846, the territory was owned by the Republic of Mexico, which soon after went to war with the United States over the annexation of Texas. Salt Lake Valley became American territory as a result of this war. The journey was taken by about 70,000 people beginning with advanced parties sent out by church fathers in March 1846 after the assassination of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith made it clear the faith could not remain in Nauvoo, Illinois—which the church had recently purchased, improved, renamed and developed because of the Missouri Mormon War setting off the Illinois Mormon War. The well organized wagon train migration began in earnest in April 1847, and the period (including the flight from Missouri in 1838 to Nauvoo) known as the Mormon Exodus is, by convention among social scientists, traditionally assumed to have ended with the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. Not everyone could afford to transport a family by railroad, and the transcontinental railroad network only serviced limited main routes, so Wagon train migrations to the far west continued sporadically until the 20th century,

According to the Preamble, why was the Constitution written?

stepan [7]

From those choices, the correct answer is: <u>to provide a common defense</u>.

"A common defense" is just one of several purposes stated in the Preamble. The Preamble to the US Constitution says: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Incidentally, the term "preamble" stems from the Latin compound word "praeambulus" (prae + ambulus), meaning "walking before" or "going before." So a "preamble" is an introductory statement to something, going before the main content of the document itself.

postnew [5]

Answer:

D. Both B and C are correct.

Explanation:

Heinrich Anton de Bary was the German botanist who is known for his work on the fungi and algae causing plant disease.

He coined the term "symbiosis" for the unrelated species which live together and mutually benefit others as he studied the formation of lichen, the symbiotic relationship between the fungus and the algae.

There were many limitations to the concept of the symbiotic relationship introduced by the Bary as his work was based on the assumptions that the interaction between the organism is fixed and has the amensalism interaction was not mentioned by him.
