Answer:

Lavoisier did not expect his ideas to be adopted at once, because those who believed in phlogiston would "adopt new ideas only with difficulty."

Antoine Lavoisier disproved the existence of phlogiston and helped to form the basis of modern chemistry using Joseph Priestley's discovery of oxygen.

Explanation:

Lavoisier put his faith in the younger generation who would be more open to new concepts. Two years later, in 1791, the results were obvious.

Antoine Lavoisier determined that oxygen was a key substance in combustion, and he gave the element its name. He developed the modern system of naming chemical substances and has been called the “father of modern chemistry” for his emphasis on careful experimentation.

Answer:

<em>Slavery was so profitable, it sprouted more millionaires per capita in the Mississippi River valley than anywhere in the nation. With cash crops of tobacco, cotton and sugar cane, America's southern states became the economic engine of the burgeoning nation. Their fuel of choice? Human slavery. Under the law, an enslaved person was treated as property and could be bought, sold, or given away. Slavery lasted in about half of U.S. states until 1865. As an economic system, slavery was largely replaced by sharecropping and convict leasing.</em>

<em>Slavery had been practiced in British America from early colonial days, and was legal in all thirteen colonies at the time those colonies formed the United States. Under the law, an enslaved person was treated as property and could be bought, sold, or given away. Slavery lasted in about half of U.S. states until 1865.The first 19 or so Africans to reach the British colonies arrived in Point Comfort, Virginia, near Jamestown, in 1619, brought by British privateers who had seized them from a captured Portuguese slave ship. Slaves were usually baptized in Africa before embarking.</em>

Just one month after writing this letter, Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which announced that at the beginning of 1863, he would use his war powers to free all slaves in states still in rebellion as they came under Union control.

Give three detailed reason why confederate statues should be taken down.
kirill115 [55]
Statues are usually made to honor or commemorate a person/event. By making a confederate statue, one is honoring the confederacy; that would mean that that person is also honoring the fight to keep slavery. Slavery is absolutely NOT something that should be honored. In the present day, Black people, as well as POCs in general, have the same rights as you and me. However, they still face racism, and keeping confederate statues does nothing to help that; if anything, they show support for racism. All confederate statues should be taken down.

(Just IMO, you don’t need to write this, having a confederate flag is almost as bad as having a swastika honestly. Both are supporting horrid events.)
