George Washington was the<u> American military leader responsible for the defeat of the British in the American Revolution.</u> He was the first president of the United States of America, considered the “Father of the Nation”. He chaired the convention that drafted the “Constitution”. The country's Federal Capital was named after him.
In the year 1765, the British Parliament passed the “Stamp Law”, which established the obligation of English stamps on all documents circulating in the colony. The proceeds were intended to sponsor British military forces. The law generated immediate dissatisfaction among the settlers and Washington took the lead to overturn the English measure.
As a great landowner and skilled negotiator, he moderately articulated himself against British taxes and laws applied in the colony.
When the first Muslim community were prosecuted in Makkah because of their faith, prophet Muhammad allowed his people to migrate to Abyssinia, a Christian land(Eritrea/Ethiopia now). He called Abyssinia “The land of the just Christian king where no man is wronged.” When Islam was properly explained to King Najashi, he famously stated that “the difference between Muslims and Christians was like a line in the sand.” Although the fact that Muslims in Ethiopia represent about two-thirds of the population, but the official religion of the state is Christianity, which is supported by the 1993 census, which pointed out that the number of Muslims in Abyssinia reached 27 million of the total population of 45 million.

The correct answer is (3) acquiring Texas and California.
The doctrine of Manifest Destiny was an ideology during the 19th century that expressed the belief that the United States of America was destined to expand its frontiers from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. This belief was used to justify the acquisition of territory and it was based on the notion that the United States of America was responsible for the expansion of modern civilization and progress, with its technological and scientific developments, to new lands. Therefore, according to this perspective, the USA not only had the right to expand but it was a responsibility to do so in the name of progress. For these reasons, supporters of this doctrine agreed on acquiring Texas and California since eventually acquiring them was a natural step in order to fulfill the goal of achieving the Pacific Ocean and taking Western civilization to these lands.
