Archaeologists dig into ruins to find clues to what life was like in a past civilization. American historian Hiram Bingham had the luck to discover Machu Picchu in Peru, on July 24, 1911. As a result, he studied the Incas in more detail than others had done before. Probably the only thing better to understand the past than finding a bunch of artifacts and documents would be to travel back in time.

That’s exactly what you will do for this assessment! Well, in your imagination you will. Imagine you could go back in time and live among one of these Mesoamerican groups: the Maya, the Aztec, or the Inca. You can choose only one, and you should think very carefully about your choice. Consider what life was like in each civilization and what roles people had in each society.

Steps:

Determine the civilization you would choose to live in—Aztec, Inca, or Maya. Write a complete paragraph explaining your choice, using at least three facts from the lesson about life in that society.
Write a complete paragraph explaining why you did not choose the other two civilizations. Use at least one fact from the lesson for each civilization in your explanation.

Explain what he is watching based on what it says in the poem star spangled banner


Here’s the poem..

The Star-Spangled Banner
O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
’Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - “In God is our trust,”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Answers

Answer:

He is watching a battle take place. The author of the Star-Spangled Banner had been captured by the British in the War of 1812. Evidence to support this is that, he states, "And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there" which demonstrates bombs going off and evidence of the American flag still standing so the battle is still happening.

Who was J. Edgar Hoover to these two groups of people: white people and civil rights activists / Black people?

Answers

Answer:

J Edgar Hoover was head of the FBI from its inception in 1935 until his death in 1972.

Explanation:

Hoover, as far as these groups would have been seen as an adversary. He had conservative right wing views and used the FBI to amass files on anyone he considered a threat to his right wing vision of the USA. These included leading civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jnr and more radical black activists such as Angela Davis and Malcolm X.

Such hostility was aimed at anyone considered on the left, for example those black listed in Hollywood during McArthyism.

Hoover also consistently denied that there was an organized crime family, the Mafia, in the USA. Some have speculated that this is because the Mafia blackmailed him.

• Aztec society before the arrival of cortés

Answers

Answer:

The Aztecs, who probably originated as a nomadic tribe in northern Mexico, arrived in Mesoamerica around the beginning of the 13th century. From their magnificent capital city, Tenochtitlan, the Aztecs emerged as the dominant force in central Mexico, developing an intricate social, political, religious and commercial organization that brought many of the region’s city-states under their control by the 15th century. Invaders led by the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés overthrew the Aztec Empire by force and captured Tenochtitlan in 1521, bringing an end to Mesoamerica’s last great native civilization.

Did president Truman do the right thing by not dropping atomic bombs on china? Why or why not and explain

Answers

Explanation:

On November 30, 1950, President Harry S. Truman announces during a press conference that he is prepared to authorize the use of atomic weapons in order to achieve peace in Korea. At the time of Truman’s announcement, communist China had joined North Korean forces in their attacks on United Nations troops, including U.S. soldiers, who were trying to prevent communist expansion into South Korea.

Truman blamed the Soviet Union for using communist Chinese insurgents as part of a devious plan to spread communism into Asia and pledged to “increase our defenses to a point where we can talk—as we should always talk—with authority.” The press then asked what Truman planned to do if the Chinese Nationalists, who were already struggling against the spread of communism in their own country, failed to get involved in the Korean conflict. Truman responded that the U.S. would take “whatever steps were necessary” to contain communist expansion in Korea. A reporter asked “Will that include the atomic bomb?” to which Truman replied, “That includes every weapon that we have.”

In 1945, Truman authorized the use of two atomic bombs to end the war with Japan. The bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and, although the Japanese did surrender, the horrifying results were still fresh in everyone’s minds. At the time, the U.S. was the only country to possess nuclear weapons. By the time the Korean conflict erupted, however, the Soviet Union had also developed an atomic bomb.

The bomb was dropped on japan not china it depends on the perspective , nationality, etc. people who wanted the war to end and wanted axis power to win would say yes. If you supported the Soviet Union then you would say dropping the bombs was not the right thing. If you were a pacifist then you could say it was bad because many people died. It depends on perspective there is no correct answer

What can the date of the truman doctrine tell us about the context in which the document was written?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What the date of the Truman doctrine tells us about the context in which the document was written was that the United States was living during a period of modern history known as the Cold War years.

The United States 'Truman Doctrine' was the foreign policy of the United States established by US President Harry Truman in 1947. After its participation in World War II, President Truman decided to be more actively involved in world affairs, in the opposite direction of his predecessors that preferred to maintain the foreign policy of neutrality or isolationism.

President Truman said that the United States would offer economic, political, and military assistant to all democratic nations in need.

This new policy is similar to the U.S. 'Domino Theory' and the U.S. idea of 'Containment' in that this new international approach was to make a solid presence in the world in the time of the so-called Cold War. A time in modern history when the Soviet Union tried to spread Communism all over the world, while the United States tried to stop it by establishing the policy of containment.

During the Cold War, the USSR and the US competed in the arms race, the space race, and the spread/containment in places such as North Korea/South Korea, North Vietnam/South Vietnam, Eastern Eure, and Cuba.

Question:"Could you describe how slaves were treated during those days ?"

Merciiiiiii​

Answers

Answer:

srry if this is wrong

Explanation:

The treatment of slaves in the United States varied widely depending on conditions, time, and place. Generally speaking, urban slaves in the northernmost Southern states had better working conditions and more freedom than their counterparts on Deep South plantations. As slavery became more entrenched and slaves both more numerous and valuable, punishments for infractions increased.

Treatment was generally characterized by brutality, degradation, and inhumanity. Whippings, executions, and rapes were commonplace, and slaves were usually denied educational opportunities, such as learning how to read or write. Medical care was often provided to slaves by the slaveholder’s family or fellow slaves who had gleaned medical knowledge via ancestral folk remedies and/or experiences during their time in captivity. After well-known rebellions, such as that by Nat Turner in 1831, some states even prohibited slaves from holding religious gatherings due to the fear that such meetings would facilitate communication and possibly lead to insurrection or escape.

Isolated exceptions existed to the generally horrific institution of slavery. For instance, there were slaves who employed white workers, slave doctors who treated upper-class white patients, and slaves who rented out their labor. Yet these were far from common occurrences.
