The correct answer is C) less than 40 percent of the popular vote.

In 1860, the presidential election proved very close showing the division in the country. The winning candidate claimed less than 40 percent of the popular vote.

In the US presidential election of 1860, Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln defeated Sothern Democratic candidate John C. Breckenridge by 187-27 in the electoral vote. In the popular vote, Lincoln received 1,865,908 votes (39.8%). Breckenridge received 848,019 votes (18.1%).

The other two candidates were John Bell from the Constitutional Union Party and Stephen E. Douglass from the Northern Democratic Party.

Explain the “Black Bean Incident.” Who was involved and why? What was the outcome?
exis [7]

Answer:

During the Mexico-Texas conflict, President Houston sent out troops to make certain that all Mexican forces were out of San Antonio. A Texan army led by Colonel William S. Fisher ignored orders to return to Gonzales and attacked the Mexican town of Mier. Although they put up a good fight, the Texan army was outnumbered and captured as prisoners. The prisoners were taken back to Mexico City. They escaped, but many were recaptured only a week later. Santa Anna ordered the execution of every 10th prisoner whose fate was to be chosen by lottery. Every prisoner had to take a bean out of a jar; if he chose a black bean, he would be executed. Santa Anna executed 17 men who drew black beans. The remaining prisoners were taken to Perote prison and later released.

What are some American advantages that led to victory in the Revolutionary War?
hram777 [196]

The American Revolution showed the benefit of home field advantage if you are willing to undertake atypical warfare.

In short, the revolution showed that the colonists knew the land that they were on, knew which locals supported them, and knew how to supply and get around the more professional British army.

How has the holiday shopping season affected thanksgiving traditions
lina2011 [118]
<span>It makes sense that the term “Black Friday” might refer to the single day of the year when retail companies finally go “into the black” (i.e. make a profit). The day after Thanksgiving is, of course, when crowds of turkey-stuffed shoppers descend on stores all over the country to take advantage of the season’s biggest holiday bargains. But the real story behind Black Friday is a bit more complicated—and darker—than that.</span>
