Answer:

Far more below

Explanation:

It was not awarded to him just because he carried the flag during the battle.  He retrieved the flag from the original fallen flag bearer.  He sustained several wounds while carrying the flag.  He planted the flag in the parapet of Fort Wagner.  Then when the Union army was forced to retreat, he grabbed the flag and once again carried it back to safety with the 54th volunteer regiment of Massachusetts.  When back with the regiment, he finally gave the flag to another volunteer and was quoted as saying "Boys, I did but my duty; the dear old flag never touched the ground".  After this battle, he was honorably discharged due to all the wounds he received during the battle.

That among other things is why is was awarded the Medal of Honor.

Why did the first great awakening get so widespread? thank u to anyone who helps
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

It got so widespread because it was introduced during a period when secular rationalism was an influential topic. People's dependency on the church to be their central focus began to dwindle. U.S. states were religiously divided and ministers like George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards began preaching on how humans were sinners and people needed to ask forgiveness. Overall message was to reawaken the Christian faith and go back to the times when religion was the center focus of peoples' lives. This encouraged everyone to be close to God not just a minister. New religious denominations formed from this event. This unified the colonies but caused division to those that didn't support it.

Consider what you have read about culture and identity. Which culture do you identify with the most? What traditions specific to
Anarel [89]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The culture I identify the most is the Mexican culture. The traditions specific to that culture that have the most meaning for me is the respect for the family union, the role the mother plays in the Mexican family nucleus, the friendly and camaraderie of its people, and the thousands of years of history since the Mesoamerican times.

Mexico is a colorful country whose people can be traced back to the Toltecs, Olmecs, Aztecs, and Mayan civilization. Thousands of years of history, culture, customs, and tradition. The food is awesome. Every region of the country has different types of food to the degree that the diversity of Mexican food has been rewarded as a historical patrimony of humanity by UNESCO.

Mexico has beautiful touristic places, incredible beaches, archeological sites, colonial towns, modern cities, and business centers.
