Answer 1
FACTS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

The American Revolution was a struggle between 13 American colonies and Great Britain.

The American colonies wished to attain independence and create a new sovereign nation – the United States.

The American Revolutionary War lasted for eight years – between April 1775 to September 1783.

The American colonists supporting independence were named Patriots.
The American army was known as the Continental Army after the Continental Congress of 13 states.

The 13 colonies were Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.

Colonists remaining loyal to the British crown were known as ‘loyalists’.
British soldiers were known as ‘redcoats’ or ‘devils.’

During the war, the majority of people living in the American colonies were ‘fence sitters’ not taking either side.

The American Commander in Chief was George Washington.

The British military commander at the start of Revolution was Sir William Howe, though he was later replaced due to failures in the British war effort.

King George III led British resistance to American independence. The British Prime Minister was Lord North (a Tory).

Not all British MPs supported military action against the American Patriots. The ‘Whig’ faction, e.g. Edmund Burke criticised military action to resolve the issue.

During the war, African-American slaves served on both sides of the war. The British offered freedom to slaves who escaped their masters and served with loyalist forces. After 1776, George Washington raised a small number of black only units.

During the chaos of war, many slaves were able to escape. In South Carolina, 30% of slaves escaped, migrated or died during the conflict.

Approx 25,000 American Patriots died during military service – the biggest cause of death was disease – often in unsanitary prisoner of warships.

Compared to the ratio of the population, The War of Independence was the second-deadliest American conflict after the Civil War.

In 1776, the population of the 13 American colonies was estimated at 2.4 million. 85% of the white population was of British descent, with 9% of German origin and 4% Dutch.

The British army was weakened by needing to also fight in the Caribbean.

Approx 42,000 British sailors deserted in the war. American colonies also had difficulties raising troops due to the economic need to stay on a farm. 90% of
the American population worked on farms.

Classical civilizations set the standard in the areas of _____.

Answers

Classical civilizations provided foundational standards in art, literature, governance, philosophy, and scientific thought, particularly through achievements during Greece's Classical period which influenced later civilizations including Rome.

Classical civilizations set the standard in areas such as art, literature, governance, legal systems, philosophy, and the foundations of science. The Greek civilization, notably during its Classical period, was renowned for remarkable innovations that have laid the groundwork for Western civilization. This era spawned humanistic art, literature, and new approaches to the rational mind's capability of understanding nature and improving political and social organization. From the Athenian democracy to the philosophical works of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and the naturalistic imagery of human figures in Greek art, these achievements continued to influence subsequent generations and civilizations.

Important contributions of Classical Athens include the establishment of democratic government, although short-lived, which would not reemerge until centuries later in the Western world. The theater, history writing, and scientific thought of this period became lasting legacies. Similarly, Roman civilization, with its advanced administrative and engineering prowess, saw itself as the inheritor of earlier civilizations such as Greece and Egypt.

Classical civilizations in the Indian subcontinent and other regions also made significant contributions in various fields including writing, mathematics, engineering, and astronomy, profoundly affecting our collective human civilization.

How is an issue characterized as either liberal or conservative

Answers

 Liberal issues focuses on the individual rights and equality of the people while conservatism focuses on socially  entrenched and old values and virtues especially family and religious values. 
For example, if an issue about abortion was to be prompted a liberal would focus on the rights of the mother vis a vis the child while the conservative would allude to socially held notions especially those held by the dominant religion.

An issue is characterized as liberal if it requires the intervention of government to be solved. This include issues to do with equal opportunity and equality for all such as the protection of civil liberties. An issue is characterized as conservative if it requires the empowerment of the individual to be solved.

mercantilism was good for the british because they could get their good and raw material and ___________ it back to the colonies

Answers

Mercantilism was good for the British because they could get their good and raw material and sell it back to the colonies.


Not everyone agreed that mercantilism was good for the home country, incidentally.  Economic theorist Adam Smith criticized what he called the "mercantile system" because it restricted trade and thus restricted economic growth.  The mercantile system believed the wealth of the world was a fixed amount, measured primarily in gold and silver accumulated.  The system promoted a nation selling its products abroad but not needing to buy from others, or imposing heavy tariffs if importing anything.  And as your question pointed out, it used colonies as sources of raw materials and clients for finished goods.  Commerce was heavily controlled by the government through charters granted to specific trading companies.
Smith countered mercantilist ideas by advocating a free market -- the opportunity for all nations to increase their wealth by exchanging goods freely with one another according to what would become known as capitalist principles.

-----the industrial revolution-----> ---increased demand in goods----> -----------...--------->

Answers

Its B) Imperialism :)

Answer:    B) Imperialism

Explanation:  With the Industrial Revolution, production processes became faster and more efficient than before, and the operations themselves during the production process became routine. The labor force was growing, and due to the invention of steam locomotives, the transport of goods was faster and more efficient, easily transporting goods to the ports, and from there onwards. All this has led to better supply and higher demand for goods, which also means higher demand for raw materials. That is why new resources of raw materials were needed, and therefore a greater need for exploration and the acquisition of new resources. All this leads to conquest and imperialism, where besides the source of raw materials, it was easy to find the cheap labor force for exploiting those resources.
