Answer:
Generally, progressive reforms, gender role changes, unequal economic gains and cultural seeming permisiveness provoke resistance from more conservative sectors. This is so because the creation or acceptance of new rights implies a transfer of power by the most powerful sectors, which are those who generally support conservative policies, while seeking to maintain the status quo.
Thus, conservatives consider that this type of transfer of rights expands the powers of other social groups, in turn diminishing their own rights and powers. Therefore, tensions are generated between the two groups, which are resolved through political agreements.

How did views on land affect how slaves were treated in Africa compared to the Americas?
Answer:" The slaves in Africa, I suppose, are nearly in the proportion of three to one to the freemen . They claim no reward for their services except food and clothing , and are treated with kindness or severity, according to the good or bad disposition of their masters. Custom, however, has established certain rules with regard to the treatment of slaves, which it is thought dishonourable to violate. Thus the domestic slaves, or such as are born in a man’ s own house , are treated with more lenity than those which are purchased with money. . . . But these restrictions on the power of the master extend not to the care of prisoners taken in war, nor to that of slaves purchased with money. All these unfortunate beings are considered as strangers and foreigners, who have no right to the protection of the law, and may be treated with severity, or sold to a stranger , according to the pleasure of their owners.

What is the story of the resurrection?
(PUT THIS IN YOUR OWN WORDS PLEASE)
Answer:
Jesus' resurrection is a witnessed, but not historically confirmed event, in which, according to preserved testimonies, Jesus was executed by crucifixion and buried in a carved rock tomb. After just over two days, witnesses are said to have observed the tomb empty and Jesus alive. According to many Christians, this could have happened because it was a miracle and therefore evidence that Jesus would actually have been the Messiah, the Son of God. According to many theologians, the resurrection of Jesus is not historically provable, but a matter of faith.
The event is central to the Christian faith, where the traditional theological interpretation is that Jesus overcame death in this way: Jesus paved the way for all who believe in him to arise in the same way at his return. In liberal Christianity, the resurrection can be perceived as spiritual or symbolic.

The cease-fire that ended the Vietnam War resulted in
The cease-fire that ended the Vietnam War resulted in many American troops being withdrawn from Vietnam and American POWs being released.
The Vietnam War was a very difficult war for the United States. President Lyndon Johnson limited many troops in what they could do, so it was very hard to get ahead. The jungles of Vietnam were also very hard to fight in and it was almost impossible to locate enemies.
After all of this went on for awhile, Richard Nixon became president and realized that the United States fighting in this war was essentially going nowhere. He decided to pull American troops out of Vietnam and a few years later settled a cease-fire that officially ended the Vietnam War.
The United States had ended up losing the Vietnam War and now Vietnam was known as a communist country.

Read the following passages from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlett Letter. Though this work is set in a puritan society, it’s very much a Romantic-era work. In the following passages, you should see elements of both Romanticism and Gothicism. As you read the passages, annotate them for elements of both Romanticism and Gothicism.
PASSAGE 1 The great black forest—stern as it showed itself to those who brought the guilt and troubles of the world into its bosom—became the playmate of the lonely infant, as well as it knew how. Sombre as it was, it put on the kindest of its moods to welcome her. It offered her the partridge-berries, the growth of the preceding autumn, but ripening only in the spring, and now red as drops of blood upon the withered leaves. These Pearl gathered, and was pleased with their wild flavor. The small denizens of the wilderness hardly took pains to move out of her path. A partridge, indeed, with a brood of ten behind her, ran forward threateningly, but soon repented of her fierceness, and clucked to her young ones not to be afraid. A pigeon, alone on a low branch, allowed Pearl to come beneath, and uttered a sound as much of greeting as alarm. A squirrel, from the lofty depths of his domestic tree, chattered either in anger or merriment,—for a squirrel is such a choleric and humorous little personage that it is hard to distinguish between his moods,—so he chattered at the child, and flung down a nut upon her head. It was a last year’s nut, and already gnawed by his sharp tooth. A fox, startled from his sleep by her light footstep on the leaves, looked inquisitively at Pearl, as doubting whether it were better to steal off, or renew his nap on the same spot. A wolf, it is said,—but here the tale has surely lapsed into the improbable,—came up, and smelt of Pearl’s robe, and offered his savage head to be patted by her hand. The truth seems to be, however, that the mother-forest, and these wild things which it nourished, all recognized a kindred wildness in the human child.
PASSAGE 2 The road, after the two wayfarers had crossed from the peninsula to the mainland, was no other than a footpath. It straggled onward into the mystery of the primeval forest. This hemmed it in so narrowly, and stood so black and dense on either side, and disclosed such imperfect glimpses of the sky above, that, to Hester’s mind, it imaged not amiss the moral wilderness in which she had so long been wandering. The day was chill and sombre. Overhead was a gray expanse of cloud, slightly stirred, however, by a breeze; so that a gleam of flickering sunshine might now and then be seen at its solitary play along the path. This flitting cheerfulness was always at the farther extremity of some long vista through the forest. The sportive sunlight—feebly sportive, at best, in the predominant pensiveness of the day and scene—withdrew itself as they came nigh, and left the spots where it had danced the drearier, because they had hoped to find them bright.
