Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Zeus was angry at Prometheus for three things: being tricked on scarifices, stealing fire for man, and for refusing to tell Zeus which of Zeus's children would dethrone him. ... Zeus gave Prometheus two ways out of this torment. He could tell Zeus who the mother of the child that would dethrone him was.

2.Each time he finished a creation, he handed out of one Zeus' gifts. He gave the animals strength and endurance. He gave out a keen sense of smell and sight.

3.Zeus sent Pandora to Epithemeus as a gift to be his wife. ... As a wedding gift, the gods also gave Pandora the famous box/jar, but told her "You can never open it."

4.Pandora was trying to tame her curiosity, but at the end she could not hold herself anymore; she opened the box and all the illnesses and hardships that gods had hidden in the box started coming out.

5.The true lesson of Prometheus is this. The fire was a divine spark. It was the possession of the gods alone. This divine spark alone frees beings.

Answers

Answer:

In Northern cities.

Why were the Articles of Confederation weak?

Answers

Answer:

The major downfall of the Articles of Confederation was simply weakness. The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts.

Answer:

Explanation: Ultimately, the Articles of Confederation failed because they were crafted to keep the national government as weak as possible: There was no power to enforce laws. No judicial branch or national courts. Amendments needed to have a unanimous vote.

The importance of Vietnam and how it changed the Cold War.

Answers

Answer:

At first, the Vietnam War exacerbated the hostile relationship between the communist and the capitalist blocs as the Soviet Union and China helped the communist North Vietnam while the US helped the anti-communist South Vietnam respectively. The war became the most dangerous and hostile time in the Cold War period in the beginning.

However, The Vietnam War later resulted in great casualties in the US and the US people started their anti-war movement. As a result, President Nixon signed an armistice in 1973 in which America gradually changed her policy from containment to non-intervention which helped eased the cold war tension at the end. Then, there was a period of Detente (1968–79) after the war which encouraged economic and political cooperation between the two blocs. Also, both the US and the USSR wished to cut military expenditures and further harmonised their relationship a little bit. Thus, the Vietnam War impacting the US changed policy helped mitigate the tension in the “Cold War” and between the Soviet-American relationship to some extent.

Compare the lives of black Americans prior to the civil rights movement to the lives of black South Africans living under apartheid. How were their experiences similar or different?

Answers

The segregation began in 1948 after the National Party came to power. The nationalist political party instituted policies of white supremacy, which empowered white South Africans who descended from both Dutch and British settlers in South Africa while further disenfranchising black Africans.

The system was rooted in the country’s history of colonization and slavery. White settlers had historically viewed black South Africans as a natural resource to be used to turn the country from a rural society to an industrialized one. Starting in the 17th century, Dutch settlers relied on slaves to build up South Africa. Around the time that slavery was abolished in the country in 1863, gold and diamonds were discovered in South Africa.

Many white women in South Africa learned how to use firearms for self-protection in the event of racial unrest in 1961, when South Africa became a republic.

Dennis Lee Royle/AP Photo
That discovery represented a lucrative opportunity for white-owned mining companies that employed—and exploited—black workers. Those companies all but enslaved black miners while enjoying massive wealth from the diamonds and gold they mined. Like Dutch slave holders, they relied on intimidation and discrimination to rule over their black workers.


The mining companies borrowed a tactic that earlier slaveholders and British settlers had used to control black workers: pass laws. As early as the 18th century, these laws had required members of the black majority, and other people of color, to carry identification papers at all times and restricted their movement in certain areas. They were also used to control black settlement, forcing black people to reside in places where their labor would benefit white settlers.

A “natives” colored white society. Though apartheid was supposedly designed to allow different races to develop on their own, it forced black South Africans into poverty and hopelessness. “Grand” apartheid laws focused on keeping black people in their own designated “homelands.” And “petty” apartheid laws focused on daily life restricted almost every facet of black life in South Africa.

Pass laws and apartheid policies prohibited black people from entering urban areas without immediately finding a job. It was illegal for a black person not to carry a passbook. Black people could not marry white people. They could not set up businesses in white areas. Everywhere from hospitals to beaches was segregated. Education was restricted. And throughout the 1950s, the NP passed law after law regulating the movement and lives of black people.

Though they were disempowered, black South Africans protested their treatment within apartheid. In the 1950s, the African National Congress, the country’s oldest black political party, initiated a mass mobilization against the racists laws, called the Defiance Campaign. Black workers boycotted white businesses, went on strike, and staged non-violent protests.

These acts of defiance were met with police and state brutality. Protesters were beaten and tried en masse in unfair legal proceedings. But though the campaigns took a toll on black protesters, they didn’t generate enough international pressure on the South African government to inspire reforms.

In 1960, South African police killed 69 peaceful protesters in Sharpeville, sparking nationwide dissent and a wave of strikes. A subgroup of protesters who were tired of what they saw as ineffective nonviolent protests began to embrace armed resistance instead. Among them was Nelson Mandela, who helped organize a paramilitary subgroup of the ANC in 1960. He was arrested for treason in 1961, and was sentenced to life in prison for charges of sabotage in 1964.

30,000 protestors march from Langa into Cape Town in South Africa, to demand the release of prisoners in 1960. The prisoners were arrested for protesting against the segregationist pass laws.

Answers

Answer:

The African Americans that stayed in bondage still helped the North’s effort to win this war. Slaves practiced work shortages, unruly behavior which scared whites over a slave rebellion and slaves even helped assist Union prisoners who had escaped Confederate prisoner of war camps

Explanation:

Black soldiers had fought in the Revolutionary War and—unofficially—in the War of 1812, but state militias had excluded African Americans since 1792. The U.S. Army had never accepted black soldiers. The U.S. Navy, on the other hand, was more progressive: There, African-Americans had been serving as shipboard firemen, stewards, coal heavers and even boat pilots since 1861.
