musickatia [10]3 years ago

He burned it. He set about destroying the held opium. After enclosing the site with a bamboo barrier to avoid theft, three stone quarries, lined with wood, were excavated into which was discharged the seized opium along with salt and lime. A minor disruption happened when one man was caught trying to take away an amount of the drug—he was then executed right at that moment. Once the excavation had been occupied with sea water, laborers plodded the mixture to safeguard the drug's annihilation. The remainder was then flushed through a waterway into the South China Sea while Lin said an appeal saying sorry for the pollution they have caused.

Discuss missionary movements in the modern period. What were their characteristics? What was their relationship with colonialism
Aloiza [94]
The modern period can be counted from around 1500 AD.
Most of the missionary work in this time, especially in the early years, was violent and directly connected to colonialism. For example, the missionaries in Mexico did not initially agree that the pagans had souls and were not protecting them from violence from the state. A lot of missionary work (in Mexico too) was state-sponsored and state-imposed, as the colonial powers saw it as increasing their status among other countries.

Explain how land grants accelerated the development of the railroad system in the United States
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

<em>By directly providing land grants to Railroad companies, the United States government gave a direct incentive to explained the railroad network </em>

Explanation:

As the United States increased it's territory, there were stark differences between the populated and develop North-East of the country and the newly acquired states in the South and the West.

To encourage settlement of more people, the government started to provide grant land to individuals who would set up new farms. This saw thousands of people, moving to new places and building small villages from scratch.

After this, the government provided large land grants to railway companies. While these lands did not have a lot of agriculture value, they did encompass numerous towns and villages.

With free land, Railway companies could see the potential in investing in railroads and connecting different population centres.
