Answer:
For Texans, the Battle of the Alamo became an enduring symbol of their heroic resistance to oppression and their struggle for independence, which they won later that year.
Answer:
Santa Anna's army descended on the Alamo on February 23rd 1836. The battle went on for 12 days and nights until the highly outnumbered Texians were finally overpowered on the morning of March 6. Santa Anna had ordered his armies to take no prisoners, so all defenders inside the Alamo were killed, only a handful of women and children were spared.
Near the start of the siege, Commander Travis had sent a letter to the people of the United States - it was received too late to help the Alamo, but inspired a patriotic national push for Texas independence.
Santa Anna had intended the survivors to spread the tale of the Alamo to intimidate the Texians - but it instead led to the final push to defeat the Mexican army at the Battle of San Jacinto. The brutality of the Battle of the Alamo sparked a strong desire for revenge on the part of the Texians. 6 weeks later, a newly strengthened army led by Sam Houston successfully attacked Santa Anna's troops at San Jacinto in the final battle of the Texas Revolution.

Explanation:
The Washington State Grange was founded on September 10, 1889, at the Pioneer Store in La Camas (now Camas), Clark County, spurred in part by objections to the proposed state constitution that had just been drafted in Olympia. In subsequent years, the Grange joined in populist campaigns against entrenched political parties and business monopolies and fought for improvements in the education of rural children. In the first decades of the twentieth century, the organization worked closely with organized labor, the Progressive Movement, and other allies to win woman suffrage, create a system of primary elections in Washington, regulate the rapacious pricing practices of the railroads, and give the voting public the rights of initiative, referendum, and recall. In later years, the Grange campaigned for tax reform, led the battle for the creation of public utility districts in rural areas, and strongly supported the federal Bonneville Power Administration and the Columbia Basin Project, which brought electricity and irrigation to many rural areas of the state. By the second decade of the twenty-first century, the Washington Grange found itself struggling at times to stay relevant in a rapidly changing world, but it remained a vibrant, activist organization, and its nearly 50,000 members made it the largest state Grange in the nation.
In which portion of this excerpt from his Second Inaugural Address does Abraham Lincoln express his conflicting views about the continuation of the war?
One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully.
Fondly do we hope — fervently do we pray — that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether"

how did control of the bosporus contribute to the wealth of the byzantine Empire?
Answer:
Constantinople is an ancient city in modern-day Turkey that’s now known as Istanbul. First settled in the seventh century B.C., Constantinople developed into a thriving port thanks to its prime geographic location between Europe and Asia and its natural harbor. In 330 A.D., it became the site of Roman Emperor Constantine’s “New Rome,” a Christian city of immense wealth and magnificent architecture. Constantinople stood as the seat of the Byzantine Empire for the next 1,100 years, enduring periods of great fortune and horrific sieges, until being overrun by Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire in 1453.
Bosporus
In 657 B.C., the ruler Byzas from the ancient Greek city of Megara founded a settlement on the western side of the Strait of Bosporus, which linked the Black Sea with the Mediterranean Sea. Thanks to the pristine natural harbor created by the Golden Horn, Byzantium (or Byzantion) grew into a thriving port city.

Which of the following comparative statements most accurately explains developments in the Mughal and Songhay Empires?
-Both empires feared internal rebellion and sought to repress minority groups.
-Both empires sought to project power as a means of expanding their territories.
-Elites in the Songhay Empire had more political power than elites in the Mughal Empire.
-Mughal rulers were more focused on wealth extraction and less interested in territorial expansion than the Songhay rulers.
Answer:
B). Both empires sought to project power as a mean of expanding their territories.
Explanation:
The second statement regarding both the Mughal and Songhay Empires aptly compares them as it details how they both looked around for power as the source of inflating/expanding their empires. The first option is incorrect as the passage has no detail about the internal rebelllion while the third option is wrong as there is no description of the Songhay elites' superiority over Mughal in terms of political power. The last option is incorrect as the passage involves no details regarding the extraction of wealth as means to expand the empire. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Answer: It’s B
Explanation: Most empires wanted to expand their territory and it was seen as powerful. The larger the empire, the more power you had. You were able to rule so many people, so you must be powerful right? Not exactly. But that’s what people thought.

In which of the following ways does source 1 differ from source 2 in terms of a ruler's legitimacy?
A. Mencius implies that the ruler needs to earn the legitimacy of his power, while Bossuet states that God anoints the ruler (maybe)
B. Bossuet states that God will withdraw legitimacy from a king who does not please his people while Mencius claims that a ruler cannot be challenged
C. Mencius states that God paves the way for a new ruler so the ruler can claim legitimacy, while Bossuet claims that there is a period of trials
D. Bossuet claims that there is a secular will behind a rulers legitimacy, while Mencius states that legitimacy comes from heaven
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Answer:
A
Explanation:
I think the other answer is wrong. With Option B, Mencius never claims that a ruler cannot be challenged. With C, Mencius doesn't even mention God! With D, this is tricky. While Mencius does imply that Heaven is where the legitimacy arises, he also says that Heaven challenges candidates for the title of ruler. So, it's a close run between D and A, but in the end, A closes out because it's more specific. Also, the clearer reason that D is wrong is that it says that Bossuet claims that there is a secular will behind the legitimacy of a ruler, but secular means non-religious, and all Bossuet talks about is religion, so that one is kind of stupid. The passages are pasted below for reference.
Refer to the two passages.
Source 1
"Shun rose [to the empire] from among the channeled fields. Foo Yueh was called to office from the midst of his [building] frames and [earth-] beaters; Kaou Kih from his fish and salt; Kwan E-woo from the hands of the officer in charge of him; Sun Shuh-gaou from [his hiding by] the sea-shore; and Pih-le He from the market-place.
Thus, when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any one, it first exercises his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil; it exposes his body to hunger, and subjects him to extreme poverty; and it confounds his undertakings. In all these ways it stimulates his mind, hardens his nature, and supplies his incompetencies.
Men constantly err, but are afterwards able to reform. They are distressed in mind, and perplexed in thought, and then they arise to vigorous endeavour. When things have been evidenced in men’s looks, and set forth in their words, then they understand them.
If a ruler have not about his court families attached to the laws and able officers, and if abroad there are no hostile States or other external calamities, the State will generally come to ruin.”
Mencius, fourth century BCE
Source 2
"It appears from all this that the person of the king is sacred, and that it is a sacrilege to attack him. God has His prophets anoint them with a sacred unction, as He has His pontiffs and His altars anointed. But, even without the external application of this unction, their charge renders them sacred, as being the representatives of the divine majesty, delegated by His providence to the execution of His designs. It is thus that God Himself speaks of Cyrus as His anointed—‘his right hand I have holden to subdue nations before him.’ The title of Christ is given to kings; and everywhere we see them called the Christ, or the anointed of the Lord.”
Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, explaining the divine right of kings, 1678

What best describes the legitimacy of the Caste System?
Answer:
A caste system is a class structure that is determined by birth. Loosely, it means that in some societies, if your parents are poor, you're going to be poor, too. ... The phrase caste system has been around since the 1840's, but we've been using caste since the 1500's.
Answer:
- Closed, without social mobility
- Based on ascribed status
- Accomplishes the most inequality
Explanation:
I explained it above, there is not much on the "legitimacy" of the caste. But it was VERY legit, as it was used for many many years to rule over people, and many Indians still believe it when discussing the Hindu religion.

How did the export of precious metals from the Americas impact Spain?
0 It ended Spain's involvement in the triangular trade network.
o lt led to increased inflation in Spain.
0 It increased demand for Spanish slaves.
0 It led to an increase in immigration from the Americas.
Answer:
It led to increased inflation in Spain.
Explanation:
During the second half of the 15th century, Precious metals (especially gold and silver) was used to as a commodity money that is used as a medium of exchange.
As more and more precious metal was sent from Americas to Spain, The value of that precious metal as a medium of exchange weakened. (since more people have the commodity money, but the amount of goods that can be bought in Spain did not increased)
This led to the increase of inflation in Spain. The price of goods massively increase since there are more people have commodity money to afford it. This led to an event which later known as the Spanish price revolution.
