What was significant about the location of Yorktown for Lord Cornwallis?
Answer:
It was located by sea.
Explanation:
After suffering heavy losses in battles in the Carolinas, British General Charles Cornwallis moves his army to Yorktown, a port city on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, to await reinforcements coming by sea. But the French fleet gets there first and takes control of the bay, making it impossible for British ships to get in—or for Cornwallis to get out. Meanwhile the Marquis de Lafayette, leading an army of American troops, blocks Cornwallis’ escape route to the south. Washington leads 7,000 American and French troops from New York to attack from the north.
Washington knows the stakes are high. The complex military operation, writes historian Barbara W. Tuchman, “would be a task of extraordinary difficulty and would involve a serious risk of failure—of his own reputation, of his army and of the cause of independence.” At Washington’s direction, his army bombards Cornwallis’s forces with cannonballs night and day for a solid week before moving in to attack with bayonets. After a counterattack by his troops fails, Cornwallis realizes the situation is hopeless and surrenders his entire army of 8,000 men. The Battle of Yorktown goes down in history as the decisive battle of the Revolution.
The British military had the advantage of being highly trained and skilled at war.

Using this source, which group most likely opposed the Progressive reform efforts of Governor Parker?
Answer:The Progressive movement that swept across the United States at the turn of the twentieth century brought changes to many of the nation’s social and political institutions, including those in Louisiana. Yet, as it was in much of the South, Progressivism operated in the Pelican State in the face of prevailing social and political mores that proved, in the end, to be remarkably enduring. Thus, while Progressive reformers brought changes to the landscape in Louisiana, many of their triumphs had the dual purpose of maintaining familiar assumptions in a modern age.

In August 1717, he organized the Compagnie d'Occident (Company of the West), to which the French government gave the control of trade between France and its Louisiana and Canadian colonies. In Canada, the French would trade in beaver skins. In the Louisiana colony they would trade in precious metals.
The colony stretched for 3,000 miles from the mouth of the Mississippi River to parts of Canada. It included the present-day states that hug the river: Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The colony of Louisiana's connection to the Mississippi River gave rise to the company's more popular name, the Mississippi Company.

What are three things from Ancient Rome that believe would benefit and should be adopted by The Byzantine Empire.
MARK AS BRAINLIEST PLEASE I HOPE THIS HELPS
Here are 3 thing that will help u !D
Answer:
The Byzantine Empire existed for nearly 1,125 years, and it’s one of the greatest empires of all time. Yet many people know little about it, other than the word “byzantine” being synonymous for highly intricate, complex, and devious dealings.
Beginning its adult life as the capital for the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, the city of Constantinople—later Byzantium, and Istanbul today—became the center of an extremely vibrant society that preserved Greek and Roman traditions while much of Western Europe slipped into the Dark Ages. The Byzantine Empire protected Western Europe’s legacy until barbarism waned, when finally the preserved Greek and Roman masterworks opened the eyes of Europeans and stoked the fires of the Renaissance.
Many historians have agreed that without Byzantium to protect it, Europe would have been overrun by the tide of Islamic invaders. The purpose of this list is for the readers to take an accurate historical journey—based on real facts—very much worth taking.
