Answer:

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 declared all persons born in the United States to be citizens, "without distinction of race or color, or previous condition of slavery or involuntary servitude." Although President Andrew Johnson vetoed the legislation, that veto was overturned by the 39th United States Congress and the bill became law. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was the nation's first civil rights law.

Shalnov [3]
I believe a majority of major battles happened in these places because the British had control of them at some point. New York also served as the British base of operations so they probably wanted to break Britain's hold on these cities.

Why do we know more about Hammurabi's code than other early forms of law?
Oduvanchick [21]
The main reason why we know more about Hammurabi's Code than other early forms of law is because Hammurabi's Code was the first (or at least one of the first) codes of law to be permanently inscribed on stone instead of issued on paper or through word of mouth.

quick!!! Discuss at least 3 similarities between the reform movements of the early 20th century and the calls for reform today?
Katen [24]

Answer: The early 20th century was an era of business expansion and progressive reform in the United States. The progressives, as they called themselves, worked to make American society a better and safer place in which to live. They tried to make big business more responsible through regulations of various kinds. They worked to clean up corrupt city governments, to improve working conditions in factories, and to better living conditions for those who lived in slum areas, a large number of whom were recent immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe.
