Answer:

ANSWER IS FROM ANSWER ON ANOTHER BRAINLY QUESTION ASKING THE SAME THING!!!

Walt Whitman supported the Mexican-American War. He justified his support of the war with the concept of manifest destiny. This was the idea that the USA was destined to stretch from coast to coast on the North American continent. Dominated by Anglo-Saxons, the USA had a mission to spread civilization and institutions across the American continent. Whitman believed that it was America's duty to rid Mexico off its misery, inefficiency, her burlesque against freedom and superstition.

Curiously, such racist beliefs were expressed by the American poet Walt Whitman. Of Manifest Destiny, Whitman wrote: “What has miserable, inefficient Mexico—with her superstition, her actual tyranny by the few over the many—what has she to do with the great mission of peopling the new world with a noble race? Be it ours, to achieve that mission!” Clearly, Whitman considered himself, as a white American, better than the Mexicans. Clearly, he believed in America’s right to conquer them. Whitman’s ideas on Manifest Destiny likely surprised his readers because they are different from the ideas in most of his work. However, perhaps this contradiction reflects a more general attitude of the times.

saul85 [17]

Why did feudalism eventually disappear? Give 3 examples.​
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1. Hundred Years' War  2. Bubonic Plague 3. Politics/Magna Carta

Explanation:

1. Hundred Years' War

In order to succeed, feudalism needed lots of manpower.  Vassals and serfs worked the manor, bound by law to a lifetime of labor until war broke out between England and France in 1337. This marked the start of the Hundred Years' War.

2. Bubonic Plague

The bubonic plaque was a deadly and highly contagious disease that caused millions of deaths. Ten years after the Hundred Years' War began, the plaque spread like wildfire. The bubonic plaque claimed at least a third of Western Europe's total population. The conditions were so bad that laborers ran away to larger cities, an act that would have once been punishable by law.

3. Politics/Magna Carta

Feudalism was a insistent system that granted very few individual liberties. Ancient laws forced peasants to land, making their labor obligatory. However, over time, concepts of individual rights gained traction. The 12th century reforms of Henry II, for instance, expanded the legal rights of a person facing trial. In 1215, King John was forced to approve the Magna Carta, a document obligating the crown to uphold common law.
