Why did both the Union and Confederacy care about British neutrality?

History
1 answer:
vodka [1.7K]2 years ago
8 0

The simple version is that both Union and Confederacy cared about British neutrality for the same reason - both sides of the same coin so to speak.

The Confederacy was an agrarian society. Their two major crops were cotton and tobacco, much of which they exported to England. Their manufacturing capabilities were minor and they relied on the income they got from their trade with England to purchase many manufactured goods, especially weapons.

The Union had considerable manufacturing capability of their own, and wanted England to stay neutral for exactly that reason, so that they (the English) would not respond militarily to the Union blockade of Confederate ports, which effectively cut off the supply of arms, equipment and cash the Confederacy needed to survive.

Which of the following effects was a result of the Peloponnesian War?
Zielflug [23.3K]

<em>The Peloponnesian War was an ancient Greek war fought by the Delian League led by Athens against the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. Historians have traditionally divided the war into three phases. In the first phase, the Archidamian War, Sparta launched repeated invasions of Attica, while Athens took advantage of its naval supremacy to raid the coast of the Peloponnese and attempt to suppress signs of unrest in its empire. This period of the war was concluded in 421 BC, with the signing of the Peace of Nicias. That treaty, however, was soon undermined by renewed fighting in the Peloponnese. In 415 BC, Athens dispatched a massive expeditionary force to attack Syracuse, Sicily; the attack failed disastrously, with the destruction of the entire force in 413 BC. This ushered in the final phase of the war, generally referred to either as the Decelean War, or the Ionian War. In this phase, Sparta, now receiving support from the Achaemenid Empire, supported rebellions in Athens's subject states in the Aegean Sea and Ionia, undermining Athens's empire, and, eventually, depriving the city of naval supremacy. The destruction of Athens's fleet in the Battle of Aegospotami effectively ended the war, and Athens surrendered in the following year. Corinth and Thebes demanded that Athens should be destroyed and all its citizens should be enslaved, but Sparta refused.</em>

1. Fill in the speech bubbles with at least one argument for each proposal.
lisov135 [29]

In order to fill the speech bubbles with an argument for each proposal, we must first understand a little more about the argumentation process, which must contain a specific reason for your ideas, such as a criticism and concrete facts.

Now let's create at least one argument for each following proposal:

<h3>Delegate who believes the nation should have a single executive:</h3>

We believe that the nation should be led by a single executive, that is, by a single supreme leader, who is the president of the republic, in order to generate greater compliance, speed in processes and a leadership figure before the people.

<h3>Delegate who believes the nation should have a three-member executive:</h3>

The dissolution of the single power of the chief executive into three members will create a greater sense of democracy in the essential choices for the nation, reduce the totalitarianism with which the president can present himself and increase international relations.

Therefore, to create a persuasive argument, it is necessary to adopt a discourse focused on ideas that generate benefits, solve problems and a fact-based way.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

When the first Continental Congress met on 5th September, 1784 at Philadelphia, the primary aim was to organize a colonial protest against British Crown's Coercive Acts.

Twelve out of the thirteen American colonies sent delegates to discuss the Declaration of Rights while affirming their loyalty to the Crown if their demands were achieved.

Therefore, it is not true that most colonies were ready to declare

independence from Great Britain when the First Continental Congress met.

Explain why the USA was concerned about soviet missiles in Cuba
zhannawk [14.2K]
The USA was concerned because they feared that they would launch them, this happened in a point in time where relationships between the two countries were not good and they didn't trust each other. Then when Russia had missiles in Cuba, which is close to the US, it caused the US to freak out about it, it's now called the Cuban missile crisis.
