History

Answer:

In the case of the recent attacks against the Pentagon and Twin Trade Towers (code named “PENTTBOM" for Pentagon/Twin Trade/bomb), the Twin Trade Towers were most likely chosen because of their representation, at least in the eyes of the terrorists, of the City of New York and thus of the United States. Although Americans in general may not think of New York as symbolic of the United States, foreigners have always considered it in that light, and due to domination of the New York skyline by the Towers, this would have been, for them, a strike at the very heart of America. The Towers also would have represented such American ideals as strength, achievement, financial stability, capitalism and even democracy itself.

How did the world react to state government legislation during the gilded age
BigorU [14]
During the Gilded Age, 1876-1900, Congress was known for being rowdy and inefficient. It was not unusual to find that a quorum could not be achieved because too many members were drunk or otherwise preoccupied with extra-governmental affairs. The halls of Congress were filled with tobacco smoke, and spittoons were everywhere. One disgusted observer noted that not only did the members chew and spit incessantly, but their aim was bad. The atmosphere on the floor was described as an “infernal din.” The Senate, whose seats were often auctioned off to the highest bidder, was known as a “rich man's club,” where political favors were traded like horses, and the needs of the people in the working classes lay beyond the vision of those exalted legislators. The Senate dominated the federal government during the Gilded Age. Causing the world to react as if America wasn't under good control.



In other words, the world reacted as America wasn't mature.

In what ways did the reforms of the warren court reflect the social policies of kennedy and johnson
andrew-mc [135]
The Warren Court typically made decisions that bolstered the privileges of needy individuals, minorities, or other burdened gatherings. Both Kennedy and Johnson attempted to enhance life in the United States by diminishing neediness and advancing sexual orientation and racial correspondence. The Warren Court bolstered and mirrored these strategies by including similar gatherings, settling on the court choices and the social arrangements cooperate.

1. Why might the Spanish have been upset about<br> the new borders?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The northern borderlands of the Spanish colonies are now situated in the south of the United States. This place is rather dry and desertic compared with the center of Mexico, what used to be the heart of the colonies. They didn't have the means to make it productive land and produce crops, and didn't have the workforce either. Indians living there were nomadic and offered great resistance to Spanish subjugation, the opposite from the tribes living in the centre of Mexico, sedentarian and already used to the dominance of an empire, the Aztec one.

Were groups that advocated the use of violence in the 1960s justified in doing so? Why or why not?
ANTONII [103]

Answer: Very few groups in the 1960s advocated violence, except the US government, in the form of military adventure, where they went far beyond advocating. A total of about 1,353,000 deaths occurred on all sides in the Vietnam war. Then there was/is the Klu Klux Klan. We need to be watchful even now. The Weathermen were a small organization and they claimed not to intend violence, but use it if “necessary.” The Black Panthers called themselves a party of “self defense.” Whether or how often individuals in the latter two groups deviated from their charters (if any) is hard to determine.

Anyway people can justify their actions of violence it doesn't mean it was justification for everybody.
