History
1 answer:
Kamila [148]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

He was a diehard capitalist and saw no need for a radical restructuring of America. Gompers quickly learned that the issues that workers cared about most deeply were personal. They wanted higher wages and better working conditions. These "bread and butter" issues would always unite the labor class.

Which statement describes the reality of being a middle-class white woman in the '50s and '60s?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

A. Many were discontented with their domestic lives and duties and looking for opportunities to develop their talents.

Explanation:

The baby boom and rise of suburban life led to widespread discontent in the lives of middle class white women during the 50s and 60s.

In contrast to the wartime jobs that many women held during WW2, women in the 50s and 60s were stay at home moms.

They spent most of their time at home, and women that did work received much lower pay then men.

Women at home became discontent and wanted equality, with more opportunities for education and work.

So, the correct answer is A.

15 different facts on the Weapons of the Revolutionary War.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

At the end of the musket most soldiers had a bayonet attached. A bayonet was a sharp pointed metal blade around 17 inches long. The bayonet turned the musket into a spear that could be used to charge and gore an enemy. British soldiers were especially skilled fighters with the bayonet.

Cannon

Both sides used a variety of artillery (large guns) during the war. Cannons could be made somewhat mobile when they were mounted on large wheels. They fired solid shells, exploding shells, and grapeshot. Cannons were effective in destroying fortifications or sinking ships. Sometimes cannons were fired strait at a line of approaching enemy troops tearing right through them and stopping their charge.

The smooth-bore muskets of the Revolutionary War were not very accurate and could not reliably hit a target beyond 100 yards. It took the average soldier around 15 to 20 seconds to load the musket allowing him to fire 3 to 4 shots a minute.

Brown Bess and Bayonet

Source: American Military History:

Volume 1

The weapons and battle tactics used by both sides during the Revolutionary War were consistent with those used by European armies for the previous 15 or so years. Both sides used similar weapons and fought using similar tactics.

Muskets

The primary weapon used by both sides was the musket. The most popular type of musket was the British made Brown Bess. The Brown Bess had a smooth bore and was loaded through the muzzle. Another popular musket was the Charleville made by the French. It was similar to the Brown Bess.

Rifles were also used during the Revolutionary War. Rifles were more accurate than muskets, but took a lot longer time to load. Cavalry (soldiers on horseback) used pistols and sabers to fight with as they were easier to use while riding a horse. Soldiers often carried knives or small hatchets, but these were rarely used in major battles.
