How did events in the last quarter of the 19th century both reaffirm and contradict the idea that the United States wanted to cr

eate a "melting pot" of many cultures?
Document 1

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land:

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me,

lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

- Emma Lazarus. The New Colossus (inscribed at the base of the Statue of Liberty), 1903.

Document 2

"..SEC.12. That no Chinese person shall be permitted to enter the United States by land without producing the proper officer of customs the certificate in this act required of Chinese persons seeking to land from a vessel. And any Chinese person found unlawfully within the United States shall be caused to be removed therefrom to the country from whence he came, by direction of the President of the United States, and at the cost of the United States, after being brought before some justice, judge, or commissioner of a court of the United States and found to be one not lawfully entitled to be or remain in the United States....SEC.14. That hereafter no State court or court of the United States shall admit Chinese to citizenship; and all laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. SEC.15. That the words "Chinese laborers," whenever used in this act, shall be construed to mean both skilled and unskilled laborers and Chinese employed in mining."

- Chinese Exclusion Act. May 6, 1882

How did the geography of the world change during the period of Alexander’s rule?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

<h3><em /></h3><h3><em>Alexander III of Macedon (Alexander the Great), apart from being a great military tactician and in a way promoted some initial version of globalization, he was also an explorer.</em></h3><h3><em /></h3><h3><em>  With his conquering, Alexander and the Macedonian soldiers managed to reach parts of the world that were either unknown, or were things of legends and myths in Europe.</em></h3><h3><em /></h3><h3><em>  Multiple people that were historians, philosophers, or were interested in any science were writing down pretty much everything, and they also were trying to make maps of the newly discovered places, which gave the people in Macedon, and all the others from the region that the world is much bigger than they thought previously.</em></h3>

What was the Watergate Scandal?
miskamm [114]

Answer: The Watergate scandal was a major political scandal in the United States involving the administration of U.S. President Richard Nixon from 1971 to 1974 that led to Nixon's resignation.  The scandal stemmed from the Nixon administration's continuous attempts to cover up its involvement in the June 17, 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Washington, D.C. Watergate Office Building. After the five perpetrators were arrested, the press and the U.S. Justice Department connected the cash found on them at the time to the Nixon re-election campaign committee.
