Answer:

They laid siege to the city for many days.

Explanation:

Once Grant arrived at his destination, he found the city too strong to assault, so he had his men build trenches and laid siege to the city.

The siege began in May of 1863 and lasted until July 4. With no hope of reinforcements, and his men starving, Confederate General John Pemberton finally surrendered the city.

Which of the following does this cartoon illustrate?

Answer:

B) native citizens' fear that Chinese immigration would mean fewer jobs for the native population

Explanation:

<u>The cartoon in question dates from 1880. and is called "The Tables Turned". </u>

The Chinese population began to immigrate to the US in the 1850s. They first started doing physical labor, but soon after started their works and entrepreneurship.

<u>This wasn't welcomed by the population living in the US. They have feared this would affect their economy and that the Chinese population would take their jobs.</u>

The name of the cartoon "The Tables Turned" refers to the fact that, in the cartoon, those who were on the continent for a longer time, had no jobs, and how the economy and work has been taken over by the incoming Chinese population. The jobs aren't only manual jobs, but also jobs for women (who are looking displeased in the cartoon) such as nursing jobs, laundries, offices, etc. The cartoon shows the fear, but also hostility towards newcomers.

This attitude depicted in the cartoon resulted in the Chinese Exclusion Acts that limited the immigration of Chinese workers in the US.

What events are responsible for the failure of the United States to enter a "golden age" after Johnson's 1964 victory and the pa
arlik [135]

Answer:

The failure of the United States to enter a "Golden Age" after Johnson's 1964 victory and the passage of the Civil Rights Act was the Vietnam War.

Explanation:

The war in Vietnam was the longest in American history. It was an experience of failure and frustration for the country, constituting, without a doubt, the most serious failure of the United States in the Cold War.

There was a curious discrepancy in the external environment, where this war was a huge defeat for the country, and the internal environment, where the passage of the Civil Rights Act implied a social progress never seen before in the history of the United States.
