The US elections of 1860, one year before the civil war.

Explanation:

Letter to the editor,

Dear sir,

Never before in the history of this once proud and united country have elections divided this country in two. As the Democratic Party´s disagreement over the oficial party policy on slavery very clearly shows (with a Southern Democratic candidate and a 'normal' Democratic one), the deeply felt ideological split between the Northern and the Southern States has now, although Abraham Lincoln is chosen as the President, become a fact. This means that we, the United States of America, are no longer United.

Which decisions made in the first months of a settlement prove critical to its outcome? Do they seem critical at the time they are made?

Answers

Hello. You forgot to add the necessary text for your question to be answered. The text is:

"When we talk about the European settling of North America, the word "first" creeps into the discussion very soon—the first ever, the first "permanent," the first "permanent" that still exists today, the first with women and children, the first Spanish/French/English, etc. While the discussion may force us to define our terms, a valuable exercise, we will begin this topic, SETTLEMENT, with "first arrivals"—Europeans who cross the Atlantic, disembark on land unsettled by Europeans, find a suitable site, and begin to build with the intention of staying, not merely exploring.

ISABELLA was a small town that Columbus ordered his men to build on the northeastern shore of Hispaniola (in present-day Dominican Republic) during his second voyage to the New World in 1493. Hunger and disease soon led to mutiny, punishment, disillusion, and more hunger and disease. Isabella barely survived until 1496 when Columbus ordered a new town built on the island as the Spanish capital (now Santo Domingo). Isabella was the "first of the Indies," declares Antonio de Herrera, the seventeenth-century historian who compiled this history of early New Spain from state archives.

[Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas, Historia general de los hechos de los Castellanos en las islas y tierra firme del Mar Oceano (General History of the Deeds of the Castilians on the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea), Madrid, 1601-1615]

JAMESTOWN is justifiably called "the first permanent English settlement" in the New World—a hard-won designation. As historian Alan Taylor recounts, of the first 104 colonists who landed in April 1607, only thirty-eight survived the winter. Of the 10,000 who left England for Jamestown in its first fifteen years, only twenty percent were still alive, and still in Jamestown, in 1622. The first months of the colony were chronicled by John Smith, Edward Wingfield, and in this selection by George Percy, who twice served as the colony's governor. After writing several accounts to justify his actions as governor, Percy left Jamestown for good in 1612. (John Smith, who also felt compelled to defend his leadership, had left for good in 1609.)

[George Percy, Observations Gathered out of a Discourse of the Plantation of the Southern Colony in Virginia by the English, 1606, publ. 1608]

PLYMOUTH. To American schoolchildren of many generations, the term "colonist" spurs images of stalwart Pilgrims setting sail on the Mayflower to land at Plymouth Rock—an epic tale of adventure and determination. And it's true. Unlike the single men—the courtiers, soldiers, and adventurers—who built Isabella, Jamestown, and many other early European settlements, the Pilgrims were skilled, hardworking, and self-disciplined. In addition, they settled as families for the most part, unique in Atlantic coast settlement at this point. Here we read from the journal of the colony's longtime governor, William Bradford, of the colonists' hard first year after landing in November 1620 to the first harvest in autumn 1621.

[William Bradford, History of Plymouth Plantation, written between 1630 and 1647]

To gain a fresh perspective on these well-known "first arrivals," view the European and Indian artifacts unearthed from each settlement before you read the documents"

Answer:

According to the text, we can see that the decisions made in the first months of settlement are critical to their result, however considering the period of time in which they were taken, they did not seem to be critical at the time of their creation.

Explanation:

The text shows how the first settlements in Aemrica had critical results, due to the decisions made by the colonizers. First, the colonizers decided to take an extremely long trip (from Europe to America), regardless of the conditions of the trip and accommodation necessary for them to arrive at their destination healthy. In addition, they settled in regions that they did not know and did not know if it would be possible to obtain all the healthy resources for the maintenance of their lives.

These decisions were very critical and had poor results, at least at the beginning of the settlements. However, they were taken over a period of time and within a historical context, in which people did not have many possibilities to plan these decisions in better ways

Did the USA PATRIOT Act and other steps taken after 911 upset the balance under the U.S Constitution between the powers of government and individual liberties?

Answers

Answer:

The PATRIOT ACT gave more powers to the executive government, so the balance between government power and individual liberties changed, and now favors the government more than before.

This is because the Patriot act allows the government to carry out certain measures that can be seen as a violation of civil liberties, like searching property, or arresting someone. This is because the patriot act gives more power to the government with the goal of preventing terrorism, both from abroad, and from within the country.

A cartoon by David Low, published on 6th April 1949, entitled ‘Your play, Joe’.
The cartoon shows that western leaders were being manipulated by Stalin. How do you know? Explain your answer using the cartoon and your contextual knowledge. (4 marks)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Cartoon shows Soviet leader Joseph Stalin gazing with clenched fists at the word "Preparedness," written in the sky by an airplane labeled "U.S. Industries." Probably refers to the Soviet reaction as the United States took positive steps in the late 1940s and 1950s to build a military and economic counterforce to the perceived Communist threat.

Cartoon shows a puzzled Soviet leader Joseph Stalin dressed as Santa Claus with a long white beard, carrying a pistol and a rifle, as well as a knife stuck in the top of his boot. Suggests the skepticism of the West at the protestations of peace coming from the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Cartoon shows Soviet leader Stalin calling out in outrage to Yugoslav leader Marshal Tito (shown as a small boy in a sailor suit), who is looking over a high fence at distant fireworks spelling out: "Independence Day July 4th." Reflects the news of the Soviet-Yugoslav crisis that erupted when the Soviet Union accused the Yugoslavs of failure to follow the party line. Expresses the hope that this may cause Yugoslavia to begin to show more interest the West.

Cartoon shows a line of wooden cutouts representing Poland, Yugoslavia, Rumania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and Hungary. Soviet leader Stalin, seated behind them with a speaking tube, makes them appear to say, "No co-operation for us." Suggests that it was Russian pressure that made the Eastern European nations decline in July 1947 to participate in the Marshall Plan.

Cartoon shows the hand of Soviet leader Stalin pressing a stop button labeled "Korea." Next to this button are other stop buttons labeled "Indochina," "Iran," "Yugoslavia," and "Germany." In 1952 and 1953, the Soviet Union had apparently used its influence to persuade Communist China and North Korea to agree to an armistice to end the Korean War. Taking the view that the Soviet Union was responsible for many of the Cold War tensions, the cartoonist suggests that Stalin could take steps to end the conflicts in other areas of the world if he wished.

United States is the nations began to shape world culture in the 20th century. Hence, option A is correct.

How did culture change in the 20th century?

The spread of literacy and ideas through the growth of educational institutions, mass media, and the expanding globalization of entertainment, news, and knowledge production are examples of slow but significant cultural changes that occurred within the same time period.

The sixth mass extinction, the Spanish flu epidemic, World Wars I and II, nuclear weapons, nuclear power, and space exploration, nationalism and decolonization, the Cold War and post-Cold War conflicts.

The social and economic landscape of the 20th century saw the quickest and most profound change of any century. Greater salaries and continually discounted manufactured goods from foreign manufacturers, frequently in the Far East, led to higher standards of life and a significantly increased middle class.

Thus, option A is correct.
