The Freedom riders were arrested and put in jail for 30 days because they broke a state law in Mississippi. This law called for segregated facilities for black and white citizens. The Freedom riders intentionally had black riders sit-in the whites only section of these facilities. This form of protest resulted in arrests in several states across the "Deep South."

How many casualties were in WW1
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
This mostly depends on what source you decide to look at and what are all the casualties you decide to take into account when talking about casualties due to World War I. 

It is estimated that the total bodycount due to the war was around 38 million casualties. This is calculated together with people for who we know died, people who went missing, or people who were wounded. Out of the 38 million casualties, there were around 17 million dead and around 20 million wounded people. This really tells us about how big the scale of this conflict was.

German scientists were concerned about Nazi restrictions on uranium sales because
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

uranium would not be available for industrial research.

Explanation:

The Nazi's aware that the radiation from the Uranium caused massive health risk. They started a nuclear weapons program in 1930s, but the experiments that they did ended up in failures. They're pretty late in finding out the solutions to minimize the side effect.

The Nazi's restricted the sales of Uranium so they have more materials to conduct more experiments. But, the scientists saw other purposes for it. They can be used for industrial research to potentially found a new energy source that is far cheaper and cleaner compared to the oil.

What led to the Battle of Golden Hill?
marusya05 [52]

A long-simmering feud developed between the New York assembly and royal officials in that colony following the passage of the Quartering Act in 1765. The assembly at first refused to appropriate funds in the full amount requested by the Crown for troop maintenance. Later, as animosities deepened, the legislators would refuse to grant any support funds whatsoever.

This tense situation worsened in 1767 when Parliament imposed unpopular taxation through the Townshend Acts. Critics of royal policies in New York City showed their displeasure by erecting a liberty pole in what today is City Hall Park; the area became a congregating place for noisy radicals.

<em>The situation changed in late 1769 when new members were seated in the colonial assembly. These moderates promptly voted ?2,000 for troop maintenance, a move that pleased royal officials, but angered the critics. Alexander McDougal, leader of the local Sons of Liberty, published a pamphlet entitled, To the Betrayed Inhabitants of the City and Colony of New York, in a successful effort to stir up popular emotions. Soldiers responded by posting broadsides that were uncomplimentary of the citizenry. Clashes on the streets between redcoats and residents occurred with increasing frequency. British authorities responded on January 17, 1770 by dispatching soldiers to cut down the liberty pole, a deliberately provocative act.</em>
