Question: <em>What was the viewpoint for the Christians during the Crusades?</em>
Answer: The Crusade battles were religious wars between the Muslims and the Christians, all fighting to gain control of certain and specific 'holy sites' that were desired by both. Both sides were determined to take back what they deemed theirs and believed that the other side was in the wrong. The Christians, as normally peaceful people, believed that the horrors of war shouldn't have to continue, but did because they wanted what was theirs.
Uplifting Note: Conflict is a thing of the past! Our political and religious views should not have to define us, so just be friends.
The United States wanted to build the Panama Canal in order to save time and money on trading. Before the Panama Canal, people had to sail all the way around Africa in order to get to the other side of the world, which costed much more money and took a lot longer. The US owns the canal because of the Hay-Bunau-Varilla treaty, which gave the rights to the USA to build and manage it.
Answer:
Pyrrhus won a Pyrrhic victory
Explanation:
13th: abolished slavery
14th: due process and equal protection under the law.
the term "seprate but equal" came into play since racial segregation did not violate the 14th amendment.
15th: Granted african men to vote (women still couldnt vote at this time).
A new system came into play that involved people having to take literacy test or pay a tax to be able to vote which ended up still not allowing most african american men to vote.
