This is an excerpt from William Cooper’s testimony before the Sadler Committee in 1832.

Sadler: When did you first begin to work in mills?
Cooper: When I was ten years of age.
Sadler: What were your usual hours of working?
Cooper: We began at five in the morning and stopped at nine at night.
Sadler: What time did you have for meals?
Cooper: We had just one period of forty minutes in sixteen hours. That was at noon.
Sadler: What means were taken to keep you awake and attentive?
Cooper: At times we were frequently strapped.
Sadler: When your hours were so long, did you have any time to attend a day school?
Cooper: We had no time to go to day school.

This is an excerpt from the testimony of Joseph Hebergam to the Sadler Committee.

Sadler: Do you know of any other children who died at the R Mill?
Hebergam: There were about a dozen died during the two years and a half that I was there. At the L Mill where I worked last, a boy was caught in a machine and had both his thigh bones broke and from his knee to his hip . . . . His sister, who ran to pull him off, had both her arms broke and her head bruised. The boy died. I do not know if the girl is dead, but she was not expected to live.
Sadler: Did the accident occur because the shaft was not covered?
Hebergam: Yes.

. These documents were most likely written during which historical period?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Industrial Revolution.

Explanation:

In the given two excerpts, the main theme seems to revolve around the issue of working children and the inability to go to school. Both passages show how long working hours were given under extreme working conditions, also leading to the deaths of the workers who were children, young children.

Both of these excerpts refer to the Industrial Revolution period where children were 'employed' to do heavy work under extreme conditions. The documents suggest the extremity of the working conditions of the workers.

Describe the consequences of Hitler (Germany) and Stalin’s (Russia) early alliance

Answers

They were creating an alliance despite the fact that Communists (Stalin) hate Fascists (Hitler) and vice verse. They set aside their differences in order to come together since they were both powerful dictators that controlled menacing nations.

They banded together publicly under the Axis Powers, but they also secretly planned to split Poland between them. They (Stalin and Hitler/Russia and Germany) both promised and agreed to not attack the other in a treaty...but Hitler broke the treaty and attacked Stalin and the USSR...(This is known as one of Hitler’s greatest mistakes.)

This is what caused Stalin and the USSR to join the Allied Powers. (Great Britain, France and later, USA.)

This left Hitler’s Germany to be fighting only beside Mussolini’s Italy. They also had an alliance with Japan, but since Japan was so far away, they weren’t involved in the World Wars much and focused solely on conflicts outside of Europe.

On March 22, 1622, Powhatan Indians attacked and killed colonists in eastern Virginia. Known as the Jamestown Massacre, the bloodbath gave the English government an excuse to justify their efforts to attack Indians and confiscate their land.

In 1636, the Pequot War over trade expansion broke out between Pequot Indians and English settlers of Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut. The colonists’ Indian allies joined them in battle and helped defeat the Pequot.

A series of battles took place from 1636 to 1659 between New Netherlands settlers in New York and several Indian tribes (Lenape, Susquehannocks, Algonquians, Esopus). Some battles were especially violent and gruesome, sending many settlers fleeing back to the Netherlands.

The Beaver Wars (1640-1701) happened between the French and their Indian allies (Algonquian, Huron) and the powerful Iroquois Confederacy. The fierce fighting started over territory and fur trade dominance around the Great Lakes and ended with the signing of the Great Peace Treaty.

On the final panel, write one paragraph to explain whether or not you think the Declaration of Independence upholds the political principles Americans value. To guide your evaluation, consider these questions. Does the Declaration of Independence reflect all the important principles you learned about in the lesson? Did the writers of the Declaration of Independence accomplish their goals? If you had been an American colonist, would you have supported the Declaration of Independence? Why or why not?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think the Declaration of Independence upholds the political principles Americans value.

Does the Declaration of Independence reflect all the important principles you learned about in the lesson?

I think the Declaration of Independence includes all the important things that are valued and respected by the American people. It was written in a critical moment during the Revolutionary War of Independence against Great Britain. That is why concepts such as liberty, freedom, and rights are included in the declaration.

Did the writers of the Declaration of Independence accomplish their goals?

The drafters of the Declaration had the best of intentions when wrote the document. Through the pass of times, most of the ideals have been accomplished, but there have been important issues such as racial ones, that still represent a major challenge for the country,

If you had been an American colonist, would you have supported the Declaration of Independence?

Yes, of course. Indeed, I would have totally supported the group of five prominent colonists that drafted the declaration: Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingstone, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams.

The Declaration of Independence was promulgated on July 4, 1776.

If the Franks had lost, Europe might have been Muslim instead of Christian.

Explanation:

The Battle of Tours in 732 is one of history's most significant battles because "If the Franks had lost, Europe might have been Muslim instead of Christian."

This is based on the fact that at the Battle of Tours near Poitiers, France, the then Frankish leader Charles Martel, a Christian, won the war against the large army of Spanish Moors, who are majorly Muslims, thereby stopping the Muslim invasion into Western Europe after conquering Spain at the time.
