What justification (reason) does Jackson give for Indian Removal? (need 2)

Answers

Answer:

The American Indian Removal policy of President Andrew Jackson was prompted by the desire of White settlers in the South to expand into lands belonging to five Indigenous tribes. After Jackson succeeded in pushing the Indian Removal Act through Congress in 1830, the U.S. government spent nearly 30 years forcing Indigenous peoples to move westward, beyond the Mississippi River.

In the most notorious example of this policy, more than 15,000 members of the Cherokee tribe were forced to walk from their homes in the Southern states to a designated territory in present-day Oklahoma in 1838. Many died along the way.

This forced relocation became known as the “Trail of Tears” because of the great hardship faced by Cherokees. In brutal conditions, nearly 4,000 Cherokees died on the Trail of Tears.

↓What are three ways that God speaks to us today?↓

What are three ways that God speaks to us today?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Words We Hear

The first way God speaks is the one that’s most often associated with hearing his voice: words we hear. While we would all love to hear an ‘audible’ voice, hearing God’s voice speak in this way appears somewhat rare and particularly reserved for those moments when we’re about to step out into the traffic! The word ‘audible’ itself may indeed be a misnomer – according to my doctoral research, most of those who have experienced it, say it would not have been heard by those around them (See Waiting for God to Speak Out Loud? Think Again). Mostly it seems, the Spirit speaks to us inaudibly and internally – with a message that sounds much like our own thoughts – i.e the ‘still small voice’ of Elijah’s experience (1 Kings 19:9-13).

When God speaks in words, he may give us a single phrase or he may use full sentences. He may use a wordplay (eg. Jeremiah 1:11-12) or give us a riddle that calls us to ponder (Numbers 12:8). Often he’ll ask a question to get us thinking (1 Kings 19:9, 2 Chronicles 1:7) and as the conversation continues, he reveals something more significant later on.

2. Pictures We See

The second way God speaks is in pictures that we see. As God said through the prophet Jeremiah; “Which of them has stood in the council of the Lord to see or to hear his word?” (Jeremiah 23:18, italics mine). We hear his message through words, but we see his message through pictures.

At first, this may seem an unusual way to speak, but we need to remember picture language is the most basic of languages. When children first learn to read, we give them a picture book to practise with – not the Oxford Dictionary. Further, imagery is the most expressive way to communicate which is why it is often said that a picture tells a thousand words. Perhaps this is why God communicates in this way so often in the Scriptures, particularly in the Old Testament where dreams and visions comprise ⅓ of the content (Read: Dreams – God’s Favourite Form of Communication).

When God speaks in pictures, his message comes in dreams when we’re sleeping or visions when we’re awake. Sometimes the picture speaks symbolically and requires interpretation (see for example; The Meaning of Vehicles in Dreams). Other times, the scene is more literal.

Sometimes God’s visual messages are full of riddles, poetry and allegorical forms that are not easily interpreted or measurable. These can be compared to the parables of Jesus which use images or scenes to communicate an idea. Walton suggests that the reason word pictures are used by God is to engage the right side of our brains.1 (This idea was touched on in the podcast: Are Women Better at Hearing God’s Voice?)

Communication in picture form is a way of speaking that the Western church often finds difficult to accept. Writers like Dallas Willard2 and Wayne Grudem3 have gone so far to say it is not a valid way to hear God’s voice. The reasons are primarily historical – an unfortunate product of Reformation thinking that downplayed the so-called mystical forms of spiritual experience. In fact, imagery is the most common form of communication in the Scriptures and can be the most powerful and creative way of all (Read Why God Speaks in Dreams and Visions or listen to this podcast as an example).

3. Emotions We Feel

Finally, God’s messages may come packaged as emotions we feel. In other words, we sense what God is saying to us. The emotion of the Holy Spirit is felt physically and this in itself communicates a message.

So the presence of hope may invade us, comforting us and calling us forward (Galatians 5:22-23, 1 Corinthians 14:3). Peace becomes a guide to lead us (Colossians 3:15) and a deep-seated conviction may turn us around (John 16:8). A friend of mine with a ministry in healing often experiences a sense of sadness when she meets someone who the Holy Spirit wants to touch in a profound way.

One of the reasons why dreams can be such powerful communicators is because the emotion we experience in them becomes part of the message. Daniel felt deep anguish when he first experienced his visions (Daniel 10:1-9), John found himself weeping (Revelation 5:4) and Peter was revulsed by what he had seen in his trance (Acts 10:14). Of course on the other hand, feelings of guilt, shame, fear or condemnation are never a part of God’s communiqués to us.

So God speaks to us in words, pictures and emotions. There are other forms too – although these are not as common. In my doctoral studies, I’ve interviewed people who have heard from the Holy Spirit through the senses of taste and smell! God packages his message to us in a myriad of forms. He is a masterful communicator who knows how to get his message across to those who are listening.

What was Captain Cook's role in the First Fleet?

Answers

Answer:

Myth 2 – Cook and Endeavour were in the First Fleet and brought convicts to Australia. ... In fact, Cook was the representative of the British Crown and claimed possession of the east coast of Australia on behalf of the Crown, naming it New South Wales

Explanation:

Myth 1 – Cook was the first European to discover Australia
According to a recent survey 31 per cent of Australians think that James Cook was the first European to find Australia.1

The fact is that Cook’s 1770 voyage followed more than a dozen previous encounters by Europeans in the north-west, west and south of the continent throughout the 17th century – all of them more than a hundred years before Cook’s visit. There may even have been earlier Portuguese visits in the 16th century, and some historians have suggested that the Chinese Grand Fleet, under Admiral Zheng He, may have arrived here in the 15th century. Visiting long before Cook, men such as Willem Janszoon, Luis Vaz de Torres, Dirk Hartog, Frederick de Houtman and Abel Tasman are certainly not household names, as are Cook and Endeavour.

Cook can claim a couple of other ‘firsts’, though: in 1770, he was the first European to chart the east coast and the Endeavour crew were the first Europeans known to have landed on the east coast.

In fact, the oldest known foreign visitors to Australia were from modern-day Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Makassan traders had been visiting and trading with people in northern Australia for hundreds of years and dugout canoes were traded from the Sepik River to the Torres Strait Islands for generations before Cook arrived there.

No European ‘discovered’ Australia. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander inhabitants of this continent managed that all by themselves – some 60,000 years before any European turned up.

Painting of James Cook
Captain Cook by Nathaniel Dance (1735-1811), published 1969. State Library of Victoria, H32508

Myth 2 – Cook and Endeavour were in the First Fleet and brought convicts to Australia
According to the same survey, 47 per cent of Australians think that Endeavour arrived in Australia with the First Fleet in 1788 – and they are 100 per cent wrong!2

The First Fleet, under Captain Arthur Phillip, arrived in Botany Bay between 18 and 20 January 1788. By that time, Cook had been dead for nine years, Endeavour had been renamed Lord Sandwich, and in 1778, during the American War of Independence, the ship had been scuttled in Newport Harbor, Rhode Island, as an underwater defence against French attack.

The way many non-Indigenous Australians mix up Cook and Phillip is understandable – for many years Cook’s arrival was seen as a better foundational moment than a fleet full of convicts, and so 29 April (the date when Endeavour arrived at Botany Bay in 1770) was officially celebrated as the origin of white settlement. From the 1930s, the focus of national commemorations turned towards the First Fleet – but often didn’t mention the convicts. It wasn’t until the ‘convict stain’ began to be erased in the 1970s that the First Fleet became widely associated with the beginning of modern Australia.

In fact, Cook was the representative of the British Crown and claimed possession of the east coast of Australia on behalf of the Crown, naming it New South Wales. Cook’s arrival has therefore become the symbol of the European invasion and occupation of the continent, particularly for First Nations people.

Myth 3 – January 26 marks Cook’s arrival
Another fallacy. On 29 April 1770, Cook arrived in Stingray Bay (which he later changed to Botanist Bay, then Botany Bay – the area is now the Kamay Botany Bay National Park). January 26 was when the First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove – 18 years later, in 1788. Governor Phillip moved the planned settlement from Botany Bay to Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour). Strangely, perhaps, the usually meticulous cartographer Cook didn’t even enter what Phillip called ‘the finest harbour in the world’, but merely sailed past.

Myth 4 – Cook circumnavigated Australia
That’s a ‘no’. Cook saw only the east coast of the continent, and was several thousand kilometres short of a circumnavigation.

Cook sighted the mainland near what is now called Point Hicks, in Victoria, and sailed north up the east coast before continuing to Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia). He didn’t ever see the north and west coasts of the continent, and the only southern region he encountered was on a later trip, when he sailed Tasmania’s east coast.

The first European to circumnavigate Australia was Matthew Flinders, from 1801 to 1803. Flinders was accompanied by Bungaree, the first Indigenous Australian known to have circumnavigated the continent.

Explanation: A democratic government is  a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.

The countries of the region had difficulty establishing democratic governments in recent years because the Soviets established national borders in the region without considering the location of ethnic groups. Ethnic divisions created by old colonial boundaries often caused distrust and unrest.

NOTES
Two Golden Ages
After the Han dynasty (Wudi, Silk Road) collapsed in 220CE, China remained a divided land for about 400 years. During this period of division, China managed to escape the grim world that Western Europe was experiencing (plague, economic failures, etc.). Farm production in China expanded and technology slowly improved. Buddhism spread, while learning and the arts continued. Even Chinese cities survived despite invaders in the North, as the invaders would often adopt Chinese civilization rather than demolish it. Meanwhile, in the South, various Chinese dynasties rose and fell.
THE TANG DYNASTY
The first two Tang emperors were father (Li Yuan) and son (Li Shimin), but the son was the main force behind the dynasty. After time, Li Shimin, compelled his aging father to step down and took the throne himself, taking the name Tang Taizong. He was a brilliant general, government reformer, famous historian, and master of the calligraphy brush. He would eventually become the most admired of all Chinese emperors.
The Tang Dynasty, under the leadership of Tang Taizong, carried empire building to greater heights, conquering territories deep into Central Asia, as far as present-day Afghanistan. Chinese armies forced neighboring lands of Vietnam, Tibet, and Korea to become ​tributary states​. A tributary state is an independent state that has to acknowledge the supremacy of another state and pay tribute to its ruler. Therefore, while these states remained independent, their rulers had to acknowledge Chinese supremacy and send regular tribute to the Tang emperor.
Government & the Economy under the Tang Dynasty
Later Tang rulers, like Empress Wu Zhao, went back to the Han system of uniform government throughout China. They rebuilt the bureaucracy and enlarged the civil service system to recruit talented officials trained in Confucian philosophy. They also set up schools to prepare male students for the exams and developed a flexible law code.

Under a system of land reform, the Tang emperors redistributed land to peasants. This policy weakened the power of large landowners. At the same time, it increased government revenues, since the peasants could now pay taxes.
Decline of the Tang Dynasty
The Tang Dynasty eventually weakened. Eventually, Tang emperors lost China’s northwestern territories in Central Asia to the Arabs. Government corruption, heavy taxes, drought, famine, and rebellions all contributed to the end of the Tang Dynasty.
THE SONG DYNASTY
In 960CE, Zhao Kuangyin reunited much of China and founded the Song Dynasty. The Song ruled for 319 years, a little longer than the Tang. However, the Song controlled less territory than the Tang had. The Song faced the constant threat of invaders in the north. In the 1100’s, the struggling Song retreated south of the Huang He River. There, the Song ruled for another 150 years from their new capital at Hangzhou.
The Song Dynasty was a golden age. Chinese wealth and culture dominated East Asia. The economy expanded. The center of farming shifted from wheat-growing in the north to rice paddies on the Yangzi River in the south. By growing these new strains of rice with improved irrigation methods, peasants were able to produce two rice crops each year. The rise in productivity created surpluses, allowing more people to pursue trade, learning, and the arts.
Under the Song, foreign trade flourished. Merchants arrived by land and by sea from India, Persia, and the Middle East. The Chinese built better ships, and their merchants carried goods to Southeast Asia in exchange for spices and other items. The Song were found to trade porcelain, and eventually the government started using paper money.
Women in Song Dynasty Times
Women had a higher status in Tang times than they did in Song times. At home, women were called upon to run family affairs. Women joined their husband’s family upon marriage, and with their mother-in-law, they managed the family finances, discipline, and servants. Still, within families, boys were valued more highly than girls were. Women’s lower position was reinforced in late Song times with the custom of ​footbinding​. Footbinding is a practice in which the feet of young girls were bound with long strips of cloth, producing a lily-shaped foot about half the size of a foot that was allowed to grow normally. Tiny feet and a stilted walk because a symbol of female nobility and beauty. It was very painful, yet the custom survived because parents feared that a daughter with large feet would be unable to find a husband. Not every girl in China had her feet bound. Peasants who relied on their daughters for field labor did not accept it.

What impact did the strict classes of society have on independence movements? If they were not in place, how might have things been different?

Answers

The strict Classes of society had far reaching influence on independence movement taking Latin America as a case study.
The strict classes of society defines a situation were members of society are classified into upper and lower classes mostly dependent on colonization or birth.
Towards the later part of the 18th century, Latin America were ready to fight for freedom from the Europeans.
Similar to what happened during the American and European revolutions, the lower classes of Latin America had reached their breaking point.
The Mestizos, Creoles, and Mulattoes, who were people of mixed ancestry were no longer comfortable in the background compared to those of pure European blood and this ultimately led to revolution.
It is important to note that if these class stratification were not in place, much of Latin America mav not have the need for revolution and hence may have gotten their independence at a much later time. This is because, the people may not have felt cheated in affairs that directly concerned them in their fatherland.
Things can quickly spiral downward from there. A clear-eyed assessment of the unalterable aspects of the new state—the size and composition of the population, the geography and geology of the land, water availability, resources, and a host of other factors—is vital.

D The king knows best how to govern the colonie

Answers

Answer: C. The king is violating the natural rights of the colonists.

Explanation:

Paine argues that placing the powers of governing solely in the hands of the king, who is an enemy of liberty, is unjust. By highlighting the king's authority to dictate laws without the consent or input of the colonists, Paine suggests that the king is violating the natural rights of the colonists to participate in their own governance. This supports the broader theme in Paine's pamphlet, Common Sense, which advocates for the idea of independence from British rule and the establishment of self-governance in the American colonies.

The framers resolved their debate over representation by creating a bicameral legislature that balanced popular and state interests.

How did they frame this to serve the people?

The House of Representatives would be elected by the people, based on population, and the Senate would have equal representation of two senators per state, regardless of population.

This compromise allowed for smaller states to have equal representation in the Senate while larger states had more representation in the House.

The bicameral legislature also provided a system of checks and balances, ensuring that both popular and state interests were represented in the legislative process.

Snake Story
Becky moved off of the porch slowly, backing through the door and into the house. She slammed the sliding glass door shut and stood for a moment, relieved to have something solid between her and the snake on the porch.
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe, at last, inside. Or was she? How had that snake gotten into the screened-in and walled-up back porch. If it could get in there, it's possible it could get inside where she was as well.
Becky wasn't someone who was normally skittish about wild things. She'd handled snakes before, picked up lizards many times, caught frogs in the garage and let them go. But snakes seemed to always catch her off guard. They would turn up when least expected. She would see them out of the corner of her eye and just the surprise of it would make her jump; her adrenalin would pump, her heart would thump, and her panic would take over.
What was she going to do? She couldn't just stand there waiting for the snake to decide to leave. What if it were venomous? It didn't look like a viper, but it could be. She would need to get out there soon to water the plants.
"What this requires is some advanced planning," she said out loud to her cat, Louie. "And, I will probably have to go 'once more into the fray' kitty," she said, looking in the cat's direction for emphasis.
"First things first, though," she said. The cat meowed back. It often did that, having become used to being talked to. "Let's look that fellow up," Becky said walking to her bookshelf.
"Let's see, snakes," she said, thumbing through her reptile and amphibian identification book. "It's brown and gray, with some black. With a pattern that looks ... there it is," she said thumping the page so hard that Louie jumped. "Not venomous," she said, triumphantly.
"It's an oak snake, Louie," she returned the book and strode over to her closet. "Not venomous, but I am still not taking chances," she said.
She reached into the closet and pulled out her heaviest jacket. It was lined and stuffed thick with lots of padding. Then she found her mittens and a pair of rubber boots. She knew even non-venomous snakes would sometimes threaten to strike when scared. "And that threat would work on me," Becky said aloud again, though Louie had no idea what she was talking about.
"It's 90 degrees outside, Louie," she said, "so get the iced lemonade ready for when I return."
It wasn't much of a plan, but it was the best she could come up with. With her armor on, she was already sweating when she slowly pushed open the sliding glass door and stepped back on to the porch.
She was pretty sure the snake would slither away from her presence. She propped open the outside door, and hoped she could shoo the snake in that direction.
Sweat dampened her arms and collected on her face. She spread her arms out, and took a few steps toward the snake. There was so much for it to hide beneath. Becky regretted the rocking chairs and all the plant stands between where the snake was in the corner and the door to the outside.
At first it seemed like the snake was just going to remain where it was, flicking its tongue every now and then. Becky waved her arms, lunged in its direction, and stomped her feet. It sat there, coiled in the corner, as if perfectly happy to remain there. In a fit of desperation, she picked up one side of the rocking chair the snake was under and let it drop. The snake jumped, raised its head like it was going to strike, and then stayed right where it was.
"Snake," Becky said, "This is not how it works. You have got to go." The snake moved its head back and forth, swaying a bit, and that gave Becky an idea.
She had read somewhere that snakes can "hear" thanks to the ability to process vibrations through the bone in their jaw. This awareness of vibrations in the ground was one reason it was very hard to sneak up on snakes. She quickly realized that getting the snake out was going to be a lot easier than she had thought.
Becky turned on the radio she kept on the porch and lowered it to the ground, pointing in the snake's direction. She adjusted the controls so that the bass was as high as it could go. Then she cranked up the volume. She envisioned the snake swaying to the sounds of "Dancing Queen by Abba, and then leaving the porch and going far far away.
Coming back into the house she began peeling off the now damp armaments she had put on earlier. "Louie, there is more than one way to skin a snake," she said laughing. She watched as the snake uncoiled and moved cautiously in the direction of the door. Bending down to pick up Louie Becky sighed and stroked his head. "'Cause no one ever wants to skin a cat sweetie

Answer:

Hie..! Here's the answer

Egypt, country located in the northeastern corner of Africa. Egypt’s heartland, the Nile River valley and delta, was the home of one of the principal civilizations of the ancient Middle East and, like Mesopotamia farther east, was the site of one of the world’s earliest urban and literate societies. Pharaonic Egypt thrived for some 3,000 years through a series of native dynasties that were interspersed with brief periods of foreign rule. After Alexander the Great conquered the region in 323 BCE, urban Egypt became an integral part of the Hellenistic world. Under the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty, an advanced literate society thrived in the city of Alexandria, but what is now Egypt was conquered by the Romans in 30 BCE. It remained part of the Roman Republic and Empire and then part of Rome’s successor state, the Byzantine Empire, until its conquest by Arab Muslim armies in 639–642 CE.

Until the Muslim conquest, great continuity had typified Egyptian rural life. Despite the incongruent ethnicity of successive ruling groups and the cosmopolitan nature of Egypt’s larger urban centres, the language and culture of the rural, agrarian masses—whose lives were largely measured by the annual rise and fall of the Nile River, with its annual inundation—had changed only marginally throughout the centuries. Following the conquests, both urban and rural culture began to adopt elements of Arab culture, and an Arabic vernacular eventually replaced the Egyptian language as the common means of spoken discourse. Moreover, since that time, Egypt’s history has been part of the broader Islamic world, and though Egyptians continued to be ruled by foreign elite—whether Arab, Kurdish, Circassian, or Turkish—the country’s cultural milieu remained predominantly Arab.

Here is your goal for this lesson:

Research important Brazilian cultural events


Look up information on Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Carnival. Write a paragraph on each, telling how these special times are related. Your report should be 200 words in length.

Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Carnival are all related to the Christian religion and are significant cultural events in Brazil. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, which is a period of forty days of fasting, prayer, and repentance leading up to Easter. On Ash Wednesday, Christians attend mass and receive a cross-shaped mark of ashes on their foreheads as a sign of humility and repentance.

Carnival, on the other hand, is a festive celebration that takes place before the start of Lent. It is a time for people to indulge in food, drink, and entertainment before the forty days of fasting and abstinence begin. Carnival is a huge event in Brazil, with parades, street parties, and other festivities taking place all over the country. It is a time for people to let loose and enjoy themselves before the solemnity of Lent.

Despite their differences, Ash Wednesday and Carnival are linked by the Christian tradition of Lent. Carnival is a celebration of life and joy before the period of sacrifice and penance that is Lent. It is a time for people to enjoy themselves and have fun with family and friends. Ash Wednesday, on the other hand, marks the beginning of Lent and the start of a period of reflection and repentance. It is a time for Christians to focus on their spiritual lives and prepare for Easter. In this way, Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Carnival are all important parts of Brazilian culture and are deeply intertwined with the country's history and traditions.

Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Carnival are all related to the Christian tradition of preparing for Easter. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a period of 40 days (excluding Sundays) leading up to Easter. On Ash Wednesday, Christians receive ashes on their foreheads as a symbol of repentance and mortality. During Lent, believers often practice fasting, prayer, and acts of self-discipline as a way to reflect on Jesus' sacrifice and prepare their hearts for Easter. Carnival, on the other hand, is a festive celebration that takes place before the start of Lent. It is a time of indulgence and merriment, with colorful parades, costumes, music, and dancing. Carnival is seen as a last opportunity to enjoy worldly pleasures before the more solemn and reflective season of Lent begins. So, while Ash Wednesday and Lent focus on spiritual reflection and self-discipline, Carnival provides a joyful and lively contrast before the more introspective period. Together, these three events create a meaningful and balanced journey towards Easter.
