In asking a specific event and asking whether or not the course taken is justified or not, you are essentially asking whether or not the tactic employed was justifiable or not. Sherman's March to the Sea employed a more common military tactic known as the "scorch-earth policy" which is used in two ways:
Firstly, the scorch-earth policy is used mostly by the defending force. The deployment of this tactic is very similar, in removing any viable transportation courses (such as blowing up bridges, railroads, roads, as well as sabotaging established communication lines), as well as viable food sources, especially crops. Large mobile armies, back in those days, did heavily rely on captured enemy resources to sustain their armies, especially when transportation lines are drawn out great distances.
However, it is important to note that it was Sherman's army that employed this tactic. It gives us two important lessons. Firstly, Sherman understands that war is not always won by just battles, but that, in the greater scheme of things, it is actually a battle of spirit, population, but most importantly, resources. The destruction of the crops show Sherman's understanding that, even if the land was retaken, the crops lost would be a blow to the Southern troops, as well as seeing their native land in ashes. Secondly, Sherman understands the importance of transportation. The destruction of railroads and roads served to impede any active reinforcements in the area as well as a more concentrated attack, as the fastest ways to travel has been destroyed.
The third point of Sherman's March to the Sea is more of a ideology and policy, rather than a strategic justification. Sherman's march to the sea generally freed large amounts of previous slaves, who were left behind to take care of their master's houses while they were at war. This takes a more humanitarian approach, and casts a more positive light in the wake of destruction, in which, even though there was destruction, there was also freedom.
Sherman's March to the Sea is entirely justified, especially in a all-out war like the American Civil War. Remember, there is no Geneva Convention, no "illegal weapons", but rather a loose stratagem that asked for only one thing, to employ everything in their power to grasp the victory. History is written favorably for the victors, and justification comes along with it.

How does the interaction between Robin Hood and Little John change
one or both characters?
They both learn that fighting
never solves anything.
They both learn that it's
important to let go of the past.
A Fair Fight
The character Robin Hood is famous for robbing from the
rich to give to the poor. However, before he became an
outlaw, Robin Hood had been a young noble. An evil
prince had forced Robin Hood and many others out of
their homes. This tale of Robin Hood takes place after he
had lost everything, but before he has gained an
important life lesson.
Robin Hood wasn't the type of person to feel sorry for
himself, even though the wicked prince had taken
everything he possessed. Instead, he retreated deep into
the woods, where he enjoyed life but also planned his
revenge. Robin Hood was well known for his royal status
and his superior skill in archery. Soon other men who had
been forced from their homes came to join him in
Sherwood Forest. This band of followers became his
"Merry Men."

The History of Stand Up Comedy.
Answer:
Stand-up comedy, comedy that generally is delivered by a solo performer speaking directly to the audience in some semblance of a spontaneous manner. In the United States, where it developed first and reached its greatest popularity, it had its origins in the comic lecturers, such as Mark Twain, who toured the country in the 19th century. But in the 1950s a new wave of stand-up comics emerged who rejected the detached mechanical style of the old joke tellers.

Social Security provides income to retired, unemployed, and disabled workers. Benefits are based on how long a worker was employed. The comments below are from a discussion between two speakers with different perspectives on the future of Social Security.
Speaker A:
Social Security is now facing a real problem. Soon the system will be paying more in benefits to retirees than it is collecting from payroll taxes. If we don’t fix this situation, the system will soon have nothing left. The best solution is to stop paying benefits to retirees with high incomes.
Speaker B:
What you propose is unfair. Workers pay into Social Security their whole working lives. After they retire, they are entitled to receive benefits based on what they have paid into the system. Even if they have high incomes, they are entitled to benefits from their own payments.
How do Speakers A and B differ?
Speaker A believes too much money is paid to rich individuals; Speaker B sees the wealthy as the main drivers of the economy.
Speaker A fears Social Security will soon not have enough money to pay anyone; Speaker B feels retirees are entitled to benefits they have paid for.
Speaker A would rather invest in schools than pay retirees; Speaker B believes retirees are more in need of government help.
Speaker A believes the current system is unfair; Speaker B argues the system is basically fair.

Mark an X along the spectrum to indicate where the Monroe Doctrine falls. Then write a sentence explaining your placement.
Mark an X a little bit closer to the left to indicate where the Monroe Doctrine falls.
What is Spectrum?A spectrum is a state that can fluctuate without gaps along a continuum and is not constrained to a single set of values. After passing through a prism, visible light takes on a rainbow of hues, which is how the term was initially used scientifically in optics.
The nations of North and South America were thus declared to be "not to be considered as objects for future colonization by any European powers," according to Monroe's proclamation of the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. Additionally, the United States considers this labor for the European cause to be "threatening to their peace and safety." While this infuriated the Europeans, the Americans rejoiced and were delighted to see the United States defend the Latin American nations' desire for freedom. Years later, the Monroe Doctrine replaced isolationism as the cornerstone of American foreign policy. By that time, the United States had grown to be a powerful and self-assured country that the rest of the world should respect.
As a result, To indicate where the Monroe Doctrine falls mark an X a little bit closer to the left.
