Early in June my college friend K'ung Hsiang Hsi came back from T'ungchou for his vacation, reporting that the state of affairs

there and at Peking was growing worse, that the local officials were powerless against the Boxers, and that the Boxers, armed with swords, were constantly threatening Christians scattered in the country. . . . The wicked Governor, Yü Hsien, scattered proclamations broadcast. These stated that the foreign religions overthrew morality and inflamed men to do evil, so now gods and men were stirred up against them, and Heaven's legions had been sent to exterminate the foreign devils. Moreover there were the Boxers, faithful to their sovereign, loyal to their country, determined to unite in wiping out the foreign religion. He also offered a reward to all who killed foreigners, either titles or office or money. When the highest official in the province took such a stand in favor of the Boxers, what could inferior officials do? People and officials bowed to his will, and all who enlisted as Boxers were in high favor. It was a time of license and anarchy, when not only Christians were killed, but hundreds of others against whom individual Boxers had a grudge.1 Who was the intended audience

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, the audience obviously does not know (or least well), who the boxers are. Moreover we can suspect that it is a Christian community because the writing style sets out to prove how

corrupt Yu Hsien is

  • how the propaganda machine painted Christians (as anachists who wanted to overthrow the current government).
  • So now the gods and men were stirred up against them to exterminate the foreign devils.
  • The Boxers were united and angry -- probably something the intended audience didn't know

1. Why did Republicans stop passing laws to protect African Americans?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Explanation:Last Friday was a big day for voting rights in the United States. Federal courts struck down restrictive voting laws in Kansas and Wisconsin. And in a particularly important decision, the fourth circuit court of appeals delivered a stinging rebuke to North Carolina’s egregious vote suppression law. As the court observed, North Carolina legislators didn’t even try to hide the core purpose of the law: to stop African Americans from getting to the polls.

The politics of North Carolina are a perfect illustration of what led the Republican party to nominate Trump. The southern state, which has seen a large influx of people into its prosperous urban centers, is becoming more liberal – Barack Obama carried the state in 2008, and Mitt Romney carried it by only two points in 2012. North Carolina Republicans have not reacted to these trends, however, by becoming more moderate.

The clash between a Republican party running at full speed to the right while its population was trending to the left led North Carolina to pass a particularly terrible anti-voting law. In 2013, a bare majority of the US supreme court gave the green light to North Carolina by striking down a provision of the Voting Rights Act that required states, such as North Carolina, that had a history of discrimination to preclear electoral law changes with the Department of Justice.

In addition to a requirement that voters show particular forms of ID, the state eliminated Sunday voting, narrowed the window for early voting and eliminated same-day vote registration and early registration for 16- and 17-year olds. Voter ID requirements at least have the superficial appearance of addressing the integrity of elections, although in practice the justification is bogus. But most of the provisions in North Carolina’s attack on the right to vote had no purpose, even in theory, other than to make it harder for people to vote.

How did race affect imperialism in Africa
elena-s [515]

<u>Answer:</u>

Race has impacted imperialism in many different ways such as violence in the present scenario.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Racism had many effects on Imperialism in Africa. Europe had imperial connections with the African countries. These countries were dominated by the British Empire. Racism was the main reason for the Imperialism rule in Africa as they thought they were superior to the natives of African countries.

African people faced many problems like inequality, suffering, physical and mental torture, exploitation of the individuals. This bitter history still has its effects on the present, as there is no unity in these African countries and there are violent interactions among these countries, internally as well as externally.
