History

baherus [9]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

If you are talking about the good robber barons like Andrew Carnegie and James Hills (private railroad maker), they positively contributed to America. These people were not funded by government but via their own capital which made them put good use of their money. The real robber barons who unjustly took advantage of subsidies and money from government to make profit were not beneficial. During the time, middle class and poor considered anyone with good business to be "robber barons" even though <em>some</em> they justly earned that postion.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The Dutch

Explanation:

The transaction was made between Peter Minuit who represented the Dutch West India Company, and a leader of the Lenape Native Indians. The Dutch paid just 60 guilders which is not a very reasonable amount of money to purchase the 22,000 acres of land from the Native Indians.

The Dutch acquired the land with little ease and without breaking a sweat. That is why it could be said of the Native Indians that they could sell you a whole country for just a few toys.

Which statement describes a similarity between the Iraq War, which began in 2003, and the War in Afghanistan, which began in 200
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Both wars experienced insurgencies after the ruling regimes were defeated.

Explanation:

The War in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001, almost a month after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The Bush administration accused the Taliban of providing the base of operations for the terrorist group Al Qaeda, which was adjudicated responsibility for the attacks. In December 2001, the Taliban government had been defeated and a new democratic government had been established, but this war lasted until December 2014 with a majority American presence, and from January 2015 to the present, with a gradual decline in American participation, due to to the various insurgent groups of an Islamic extremist nature that continue to operate in the country and pose a threat to the United States.

In turn, the Iraq War began on March 20, 2003, due to accusations by the American government that the Saddam Hussein regime owned or was developing weapons of mass destruction. In this case, the Hussein regime was overthrown and a provisional government was established in May, but the war continued until 2011 due to the presence of different insurgent groups in the area, such as Al Qaeda, the Baathists, or Ansar Al Sunnah. In fact, after 3 years without American participation, in 2014 President Obama had to send forces back to the country, due to the unstable situation of the Iraqi government.

In 3-4 sentences, describe what you think Harriet Tubman's experience freeing enslaved people might have been like. What feeling
Shalnov [3]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think Harriet Tubman's experience freeing enslaved people was so satisfactory to her and all the people that helped her in the Underground railroad.

She was a supporter of liberty and always wanted to help black slaves from the south to be free. That is why she escaped from slavery and later help many of them to get to the North before the beginning of the American Civil War.

I think her feelings might have been of liberation, a sense of purpose, and fulfilling a great accomplishment in life through helping a large number of people to be free.

The underground railroad was not an easy task, Quite the opposite. It had major risks in all senses.

The thing here is that she was already free, living in Pennsylvania when she decided to help her black "brothers and sisters." This action has inspired many people around the world in their fight for freedom, rights, and equality.
