Use an encyclopedia, the Internet, or other sources to research the following Reconstruction scandals. 300 words each for all three of them.
- the Tweed Ring in New York
- the Credit Mobilier Scandal
- Black Friday
Answer:
Black Friday
The Gold Ring was formed by Jay Gould and James Fisk. The then president of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, made an effort to stabilize the US dollar, boost the economy after the hits of the civil war, and also to pay off the national debt caused by the war. He tried to do this by selling treasury gold every week. The first step he took to get a grip on the economy was to sign the Public Credit Act, which enabled citizens to have their bonds repaid in gold or the equivalent and so get a more secure circulation of “sound money “. Moreover, president Grant placed the very talented George Boutwell in charge of the United States Treasury and he started selling gold on a weekly basis to buy US wartime bonds. At the same time he improved the tax collecting methods to avoid counterfeiting and was able to keep the gold price and the money supply level artificially low. Jay Gould and James Fisk infiltrated in the social circles of president Grant to receive confidential information of the selling of gold. They plotted to stop the president from selling the gold weekly, so that the price of gold could rise again. They also fed the president with false premonitions that the gold selling would harm farmers. When they thought that they found a profitable price to buy gold, they did so, in order to sell the gold again later for a higher price and so increase their wealth. But the president came to know about their foul scheme and he ordered more gold to be sold on this particular Friday ,24th of September 1869 ,called “ Black Friday’’ and in this way the price of gold went so low that Gould and Fisk lost most of their money.
The Dawes Acts (including civil service reforms)
The 1887 Dawes Act, gave the authority to the president of the United States to allot Native American tribal land to individual Native Americans. If they accepted these allotments and would go live separately from their tribes, they would be granted the US citizenship. The creator of the act was Massachusetts senator Henry Laurens Dawes. The Dawes Act was a way to transfer tribal and communal ownership of land into individual ownership, and also to give non-Native Americans the chance to purchase these lands. In 1891 the Dawes Act was amended, then in 1898 into the Curtis Act and then again in 1906 by the Burke Act. For decades after these Acts, the Tribal communities have sold a great part of their communal land to non-Native Americans and in this way the government managed to destroy their tribal way of living . The aim of the government was to open the Indian lands for European- American settlers to farm and make way for railroads. Through this Act, tribal owned land in America decreased from 138 million acres in 1887 to only 48 million acres in 1934. The Dawes act had an impact on the gender roles and the social structure in the Native American community because to be able to receive land, the women had to be officially married. Before, the women had control over property and descent because of the matrilineal tribal society. Now the men had to go out working in the fields while the women had to do domestic chores. The original plan, concocted by Henry Dawes to create respectable farmers according to the European –American model has failed and left the tribal community as mere survivors of destruction.

What type or piece of material culture do you think gives the most information about your society? Why?
Answer:
material culture, tools, weapons, utensils, machines, ornaments, art, buildings, monuments, written records, religious images, clothing, and any other ponderable objects produced or used by humans. If all the human beings in the world ceased to exist, nonmaterial aspects of culture would cease to exist along with them.
It is an interdisciplinary field and methodology that tells of the relationships between people and their things: the making, history, preservation, and interpretation of objects.
hopefully,

✏️material culture, tools, weapons, utensils, machines, ornaments, art, buildings, monuments, written records, religious images, clothing, and any other ponderable objects produced or used by humans. If all the human beings in the world ceased to exist, nonmaterial aspects of culture would cease to exist along with them. However, examples of material culture would still be present until they disintegrated. The debate within social anthropology as to whether material culture is dominant in molding nonmaterial aspects is a continuing one. That the impact of material culture has varied from society to society seems clear.

With the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, the right to active participation in American representative democracy had legally reached all adult citizens over twenty-one. In the wake of this success, in 1923 Alice Paul drafted and began campaigning for the ratification of an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to guarantee federal protection under the law for both sexes. Although a few states ratified the ERA, the momentum of the suffrage movement slowed, and soon the Depression and World War II led Congress and the public to focus on more immediate and pressing concerns.

CHAPTER II—THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt
From White Fang
By Jack London
Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.
As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.
At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:
"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."
"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.
They spoke no more until camp was made.
Read this line from the story:
...the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness.
What part of this line most clearly adds to the tension in the story?
A. The contrast between the fire and the darkness
B. Using the word launched to describe the departure
C. The description of the men turning their backs
D. Ending the sentence on a dark note
Answer:
The answer would be "Ending the sentance on a dark note."

Question: Describe how the weather is a symbol of the events in Act 2 of Shakespeare’s King Lear.
Answer:
In Act 3, as Lear wanders through a desolate heath, a terrible storm rages overhead, strongly but ambiguously symbolic. The storm reflects Lear's inner turmoil and escalating madness in part: it is a physical, turbulent natural reflection of Lear's internal turmoil. At the same time, the storm embodies nature's awesome power, forcing the powerless king to acknowledge his mortality and human frailty for the first time, and to cultivate a sense of humility. The storm could also represent divine vengeance as if nature is enraged by the events of the play. Finally, the weather chaos represents Lear's Britain's political chaos.
What are your plans for the summer?
10 sentences or more sentences
Answer:
My summer plans include spending quality time with my family, having fun, resting, watching movies together, or going out to do something similar; my family is my closest friends, and I don't mind spending my summer with them. I'd also like to spend time with my friends, going out to eat for lunch or dinner, having enjoyable conversations, and relaxing on a nice sunny day; it's fun to hang out with friends, especially if you've known them for a long time; we'd also play video games, go to the mall, and do other summer outdoor activities. On rainy days in the summer, I'd probably just stay in my room and watch movies while eating a snack or play video games with my friends online. Another thing I would enjoy doing is visiting my relatives' homes and getting to visit my cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents. That is how I intend to spend my summer.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH WRITING THAT OKONKWO IS A COMPLEX CHARACTER
pls pls write below!
(OWN WORDS BECAUSE I CANT USE AN ALREADY WRITTEN ONE)
I need an essay pls help or at least something y’all :(
Answer:in explantion
Explanation:
Okonkwo, the son of the effeminate and lazy Unoka, strives to make his way in a world that seems to value manliness. In so doing, he rejects everything for which he believes his father stood. Unoka was idle, poor, profligate, cowardly, gentle, and interested in music and conversation. Okonkwo consciously adopts opposite ideals and becomes productive, wealthy, thrifty, brave, violent, and adamantly opposed to music and anything else that he perceives to be “soft,” such as conversation and emotion. He is stoic to a fault.
Okonkwo achieves great social and financial success by embracing these ideals. He marries three women and fathers several children. Nevertheless, just as his father was at odds with the values of the community around him, so too does Okonkwo find himself unable to adapt to changing times as the white man comes to live among the Umuofians. As it becomes evident that compliance rather than violence constitutes the wisest principle for survival, Okonkwo realizes that he has become a relic, no longer able to function within his changing society.
Okonkwo is a tragic hero in the classical sense: although he is a superior character, his tragic flaw—the equation of manliness with rashness, anger, and violence—brings about his own destruction. Okonkwo is gruff, at times, and usually unable to express his feelings (the narrator frequently uses the word “inwardly” in reference to Okonkwo’s emotions). But his emotions are indeed quite complex, as his “manly” values conflict with his “unmanly” ones, such as fondness for Ikemefuna and Ezinma. The narrator privileges us with information that Okonkwo’s fellow clan members do not have—that Okonkwo surreptitiously follows Ekwefi into the forest in pursuit of Ezinma, for example—and thus allows us to see the tender, worried father beneath the seemingly indifferent exterior.
Answer:
Okonkwo, the son of the effeminate and indolent Unoka, tries to make his way in a world where manliness seems to be valued. In doing so, he opposes all his father is said to have stood for. Unoka was a slacker who was impoverished, wasteful, cowardly, gentle, and enjoyed music and talk. Okonkwo actively embraces opposing beliefs, becoming productive, affluent, frugal, fearless, violent, and fiercely opposed to music and everything else he considers "soft," such as dialogue and feeling. He is a stoic to the point of being stoic.

how is reading a graphic novel similar to reading a traditional novel?
Explanation:
A graphic novel contains a beginning, middle, and end. A graphic novel will offer the type of resolution that one expects from a novel, even if it is part of a series. Effectively, this makes a graphic novel longer and more substantive than a comic book, which is a serialized excerpt from a larger narrative.
