Answer:

Thanksgiving came to be an official holiday in 1863, declared by President Abraham Lincoln.

Explanation:

The Thanksgiving feast between Pilgrims and the Natives was not public till Bradford's diary was given to be published in 1789. When, a magazine editor Sarah Josepha Hale came across this tradition celebrated by Pilgrims and Natives, she wrote letters to five Presidents asking to declare Thanksgiving, a national holiday. It was President Abraham Lincoln who paid heed to this request and with an idea of unte the country during his presidency, he declared the last Thursday of November as a Thanksgiving day and declared it a national holiday. The date, however, was changed to fourth Thursday of November by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941, to avoid shifting of national holiday (as some year may have five Thursday's in November).

How did Darius govern over the vast Persian Empire?

Blizzard [7]

The correct answer is A. He divided the empire into provinces and appointed a leader for each province. From 539 BC to 331 BC, the Persian Empire was the most powerful state in the world and Darius I, who was King from 522 BC to 486 BC, divided that Empire into twenty large provinces, called satrapies. Each satrapy was governed by a satrap or governor. Their main responsibilities were to enforce law and order, and to collect taxes and tributes. To check the satraps, a secretary and a military official representing Darius were installed in every province. This division secured that he would not have to travel from one end of his empire to the other, defending the borders against every little tribe that decided to attack.
