Hamurabi's code
Hammurabi’s code, written in Babylon, Mesopotamia, provided the first consistent rule of law, ever. Written before 1750 B.C.E., it contained laws carved on an eight foot high stone pillar for all to see. Hammurabi’s code established a social order based on the rights of the individual. On it he proclaimed that his goals were to "cause justice to prevail in the land/To destroy the wicked and evil/ That the strong may not oppress the weak." If any one brings an accusation of any crime before the elders, and does not prove what he has charged, he shall, if it be a capital offense charged, be put to death. . If any one steals the minor son of another, he shall be put to death.

If any one receives into his house a runaway male or female slave of the court, or of a freedman, and does not bring it out at the public proclamation of the major domus, the master of the house shall be put to death. If any one find runaway male or female slaves in the open country and bring them to

their masters, the master of the slaves shall pay him two shekels of silver. . If any one is committing a robbery and is caught, then he shall be put to death. . If the robber is not caught, then shall he who was robbed claim under oath the amount

of his loss; then shall the community, and on whose ground and territory and in whose

domain it compensated him for the goods stolen.

If any one owe a debt for a loan, and a storm prostrates the grain, or the harvest fail,

or the grain does not grow for lack of water; in that year he need not give his creditor

any grain, he washes his debt-tablet in water and pays no rent for this year. . If a man's wife be surprised (caught in the act) with another man, both shall be

tied and thrown into the water (and drowned), but the husband may pardon his wife and

the king his slaves. . If the "finger is pointed" at a man's wife about another man, but she is not caught

sleeping with the other man, she shall jump into the river for her husband. (and drowned) . If the wife of one man on account of another man has their mates (her husband

and the other man's wife) murdered, both of them shall be impaled. . If a son strikes his father, his hands shall be hewn off. . If a man put out the eye of another man, his eye shall be put out. [An eye for an eye]

If he breaks another man's bone, his bone shall be broken.

If he put out the eye of a freed man, or break the bone of a freed man, he shall pay

one gold mina.

pay one-half of its value.

Using the passage below, please answer the question that follows.
The Tuscarora people lived in the eastern areas of North Carolina in the 17th century. As European settlers moved into their homelands, tensions between these groups rose. European settlers moved onto native lands without apology. Soon Tuscarora women and children were being abducted and sold into slavery by the settlers. Tuscarora hunting parties were attacked and killed or sold into slavery. In 1710, prior to the outbreak of the Tuscarora War, the Tuscarora people made a plea to the governor of Pennsylvania. Desperate for peace, the Tuscarora begged for sanctuary in Pennsylvania. The speakers for the tribe talked of women and children unable to gather food and play in the forest for fear of being captured. They talked of not being able to hunt freely to support their families. They talked, above all, of a desire for peace between the settlers and themselves, even if it required leaving their homelands. However, the governor of Pennsylvania was reluctant to give them sanctuary. Among other issues, the governor feared an alliance between the Tuscarora and the Pennsylvania Iroquois. He feared increasing the Native American presence in Pennsylvania would upset the settlers already there. Ultimately, the Tuscarora had to make the best of their hard life in North Carolina. The harassment from settlers did not stop, and in 1711, war broke out between the settlers and the Tuscarora.
Based on this account, what would historians be most likely to disagree on regarding the story of the Tuscarora?
A. The history of the Iroquois nation
B. The duration of the Tuscarora War
C. The exact cause of the Tuscarora War
D. The location of the Tuscarora tribal lands
