3 0

Answer: It is estimated that possibly as many as 100,000 slaves escaped via the Underground Railroad from 1800 to 1850.

Explanation:

The Underground Railroad was a route to help the enslaved escape. It was run by many different people including some that were previously enslaved and some from the North.

They used "train" terms and songs to share information to help this escape remain secret. Those escaping were "passengers," places to meet up were "stations," the "conductor" helped move people, etc.

marusya05 [52]

If we start to travel from the Mississippi River westwards to the Pacific Coast, than the starting point is a lowland, vast one, as we continue to go towards the west we will encounter high mountains, the Rocky Mountains more specifically, and the elevation will go up to 4,400 meters above sea level, than we will go down, elevation wise, to the high plateaus and will be on elevations between 1,000 and 2,000 meters, and after we go up again to almost 4,400 meters as we cross the Cascade Mountains. After the Cascades we go gradually downwards towards the lowlands, where we will first go a bit bellow sea level, and than little up in the lowlands along the Pacific Coast, and at the end reach a point of zero elevation.

it was a mistake for the United States to make an alliance with the Soviet totalitarian communist union during World War II

omeli [17]

I'll assume that's a thesis statement meant for argument or debate. An argument could be made on either side, depending on your point of view.

On the one hand, the United States and the Soviet Union had dramatically different worldviews. The US system of democracy and capitalism was at odds with the USSR system of totalitarian rule and communist collectivism. The two nations were allied only for the sake of defeating Germany and Japan in the Second World War, and were in opposition to each other in about every other way. Following the war, they became bitter opponents in the Cold War.
On the other hand, the USA and the other Allies in World War II needed the help of the Soviet Union in order to defeat the combined threat of Germany and Japan. The USSR suffered millions of casualties due to the war -- more than any other nation. They bore the brunt of the fighting against Germany, even before the US entered the war. And President Roosevelt, while not in agreement with the governing philosophy of Joseph Stalin, still thought he was someone that could be worked with cooperatively. (When President Truman took over after Roosevelt's death, he did not share that same view of Stalin and the USSR.)

So the matter can be argued from both sides. Pick your side and write a strong essay!
