The reason for which New Amsterdam was surrendered to the Britishers by the Dutch was due to exhaustion from fighting Native Americans. Thus, option (C) is correct.
Who were Britishers?The Britishers were the European people who came to another country in order to trade and acquire the political power. They were the immigrants to a new area with the support of the government. They are also referred as the settlers in the new region.
On September 8, 1664, the Dutch, who controlled what is now Manhattan, agreed to surrender and hand over control of the region to the British. In March 1966, King Charles II of England chose to grant that portion of North American territory to his brother, the king of York. So, without a single act of hostility or shot, the land changed hands.
Therefore, it can be concluded that "Exhaustion from battling Native Americans" was the primary cause for the Dutch evacuation of New Amsterdam to the British. Hence, option (C) is correct.

2. How did emperor Ashoka's achievements reflect the ideas of Buddhism?
3. What are some different ideas about how to run an empire?
Ashoka was the third emperor of the Maurya, a dynasty between the 4th and 2nd centuries B.C. He dominated almost the entirety of India, Pakistan and part of Afghanistan. With skill and military might, the Mauryas gradually expanded from Pataliputra (Patna), the capital of the kingdom, located in the Ganges River basin, until Ashoka managed to unify the entire territory of India for the first time in history.
Towards the year 262 B.C., eight years after his accession to the throne, Ashoka undertook a military campaign to annex this territory that was crowned with success. According to the estimates of the king himself, 150.000 people were deported and another 100.000 died, many more who subsequently succumbed to their wounds. By stepping on the battlefield and seeing with his own eyes the mountains of piled up corpses and the tears of the vanquished, Ashoka understood that the conquest of a kingdom meant death and destruction for all, whether friends or enemies, and misfortune for those captives that they would be far from their families and their land.
After seeing this massacre, a new Ashoka emerged, a sovereign who, truly contrite, wished to purify his soul in the desolation that he had provoked with a single order of his. This was expressed in one of his edicts engraved on stone: "The beloved of the gods felt remorse for the conquest of Kalinga, because when a country is conquered for the first time killings, death and deportation of people are very sad for the beloved of the gods and weigh heavily on his soul ».
For a year and a half, Ashoka invited scholars from all over the kingdom to participate with him in intense philosophical debates, seeking the peace that his life as a warrior had denied him. But it would be Buddhism, the influential contemplative religion that had emerged in northern India in the sixth century B.C., that would calm their concerns. In the tenth year of his reign, Ashoka decided to go on a pilgrimage. For 256 days, the king and his entourage traveled on foot along the banks of the Ganges to reach Sárnath, a suburb on the outskirts of Varanasi (Benares), where Buddha gave his first sermon. Near the sacred city of the Hindus was the town of Bodh Gaya, the place where the bodhi tree was raised, under which Prince Siddartha Gautama became Buddha, "the Enlightened One." At the sight of the tree, Ashoka felt that he himself achieved that enlightened serenity he needed and erected a temple right there. Thereafter he called himself Dharma Ashoka or "Ashoka the pious".
Condemning the glory that had reached with the arms, Ashoka decided to dedicate itself to preach its new faith: the dharma or the doctrine of the piety. Ashoka thus tried to humanize a power that he had exercised ruthlessly at the beginning of his reign, becoming the first sovereign in history to expressly renounce conquests and violence. Thus at least he is remembered in the Indian historical tradition, although historians remember that, despite his laments, Ashoka never renounced the conquered kingdom of Kalinga or the use of force, rather than moderate, against the rebellious peoples of the border.
Ashoka founded hundreds of monasteries and sanctuaries, improved communication routes between the main capitals, planted trees to shade walkers and planted the empire of wells to quench their thirst, and erected hospitals and rest areas for the solace of those who entered in their domains and went on a pilgrimage to the holy places of India. Concerned about the international spread of Buddhism, Ashoka asked his own son, Mahendra, to lead a preaching mission to Sri Lanka and sent ambassadors to the distant courts of the West, such as that of King Ptolemy II Philadelphus in Alexandria.
Sometimes, the pacifism of Ashoka has been blamed for weakening the State and propitiating its decadence and dissolution, since, in fact, after its death the Mauryan Empire soon disintegrated. In fact, one tradition maintains that in his later years Ashoka lost control of the kingdom. His grandson, Samprati, alarmed by Ashoka's continued donations to the Buddhist order, forbade the royal treasurer from giving him more funds and finally dethroned him. Despite this, in contemporary India, Ashoka has always been remembered as the most important king in its history. He was the unifier of the country and incarnated in an incomparable way the Buddhist ideal of the universal monarch, chakravartin, "a king who will reign over this world surrounded by seas without oppression, after conquering it without violence, with his justice".

Compare the Federalists and Anti-Federalists. Which do you agree with more? Why?
The differences between the Federalists and the Antifederalists are vast and at times complex. Federalists’ beliefs could be better described as nationalist. The Federalists were instrumental in 1787 in shaping the new US Constitution, which strengthened the national government at the expense, according to the Antifederalists, of the states and the people. The Antifederalists opposed the ratification of the US Constitution, but they never organized efficiently across all thirteen states, and so had to fight the ratification at every state convention. Their great success was in forcing the first Congress under the new Constitution to establish a bill of rights to ensure the liberties that the Antifederalists felt the Constitution violated.

The controversial decision increased the tensions between the Northern and Southern states.
Who was Anne Hutchinson? the founder of the Mormon Church an important religious leader during the First Great Awakening an important religious leader during the Second Great Awakening a religious dissenter who was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony
The correct answer is letter D, a religious dissenter who was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Anne Hutchinson was a Puritan preacher and religious dissident who lived in the early English colonial era in North America and was expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Anne was charged with sedition because she considered that the clergy of the colony taught errors. Since at the time there was no separation between religion and state, criticizing the religious authorities implied criticizing the political authorities. John Cotton testified in Anne's favor at the trial, stating that Anne's ideas had been taken out of context. However, Anne Hutchinson refused to portray herself and claimed that God communicated directly with her. The court found her guilty and Anne was banished from the colony with her family and her followers.

The party had control of the government under the first two presidents: Washington and Adams.

The Democratic-Republican Party emerged as a reaction to the Adams presidency. Specifically, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, the party was created to express concern over the Alien and Sedition Acts. Democratic-Republicans picked up the ideas of the Anti-Federalists from the Constitutional Convention. They believed in more state power and a reduction of federal power. The group led the government officially until the mid-1820's. However, the philosophy of the party began to move more toward the middle following the War of 1812 as the US entered the "Era of Good Feelings".

Compare and contrast the situation of african-american, both enslaved and free, in the northern states, the middle states, and the southern states in the decades following the American revolution. What might explain the differences you note ?
The American Revolutionary War brought many new ideas to the politics of the United States. Concepts such as freedom and equality gained recognition and challenged the status of slavery. While slavery was still generally accepted, the views that people had on it and the status of slaves varied greatly among different regions.
In the northern states, laws were passed against slavery, but they were not always successful. Sometimes, they would only liberate the children of current slaves, or would liberate them after a certain age. Nevertheless, this region experienced the largest transformation in regard to the status of African-Americans.
In the middle states, where plantations no longer demanded such a large workforce, a significant population of free black men arose as well. They created a network of public institutions that represented their identity.
However, this movement was never significant in the southern states. In fact, new laws were passed in the Deep South that strengthened the dominance of masters over slaves. This was likely due to the reliance of these colonies in free labor in order to maintain their enormous and labour-intensive plantations.

Why was Mao Zedong's communist China ready to use military tactics against the troops of US general Douglas MacArthur in Korea?
There were several reasons which made Mao Zedong to use military tactics against the troops of US general Douglas MacArthur in Korea. The US attack on communist North Korea and heading of US forces towards Yalu river which borders China and North Korea worried China about protecting themselves from what they called "armed aggression of Chinese territory". The Mao's ideology of Capitalist-communist rivalry also made him to go against the US forces as he thought US wants to end Communism in North Korea and later in China. Mao also knew that if US began to intervene in domestic affairs of China, it will boost morale of anti-revolutionary people in China. With these reasons China became offensive and attacked South Korea on 26th November, 1950 and inflicted surprised casualties on US forces.
Mao Zedong was prepared to use military force to defend Chinese territory and his new government from the perceived threat of US and South Korean forces nearing the Yalu River. The possible extension of war into China and the potential for global escalation made the conflict in Korea a critical point of defense for Communist China.
Mao Zedong's communist China was ready to use military tactics against the troops of US General Douglas MacArthur in Korea for several reasons. First, Mao wanted to defend Chinese territory against foreign invasion and protect his new communist government, established just a year before the Korean War.
Additionally, the advancement of US and South Korean forces toward the Yalu River represented a direct threat to China's border security and geopolitical interests. Moreover, Mao was willing to aid North Korea's Kim Il Sung in his struggle against imperialism, and with US military presence in the Taiwan Strait, China's focus was redirected from invading Taiwan to entering the fray in Korea.
General MacArthur's aggressive stance, including his consideration of using nuclear weapons and his ambition to extend the war into China, posed a significant threat, with the potential of escalating into World War III due to the Soviet Union's defense treaty with China.
Truman's firing of MacArthur for insubordination after the general publicly criticized the president's policy and suggested extending the war further cemented the United States' position against widening the conflict. The Korean War ultimately evolved into a costly stalemate, prompting prolonged peace talks and an eventual armistice, returning to the prewar status quo of a divided Korea.
