What is the meaning of THANKSGIVING?

Answers

Answer 1

ANSWER: Thanksgiving Day, annual national holiday in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. The American holiday is particularly rich in legend and symbolism, and the traditional fare of the Thanksgiving meal typically includes turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie. With respect to vehicular travel, the holiday is often the busiest of the year, as family members gather with one another.

A. Bourgeoisie
B. All social classes
C. Creole elites
D. Peninsulares

Answers

Answer:

C. Creole Elites

Explanation:

In theory, there was social equality among all free men. However, in practice, power remained in the hands of the creole elite, who sought to maintain European traditions and increase the amount of European influence in their new nations. Despite all of these struggles, however, the newly formed countries of Central and South America eventually stabilized. As they stabilized, the countries made a radical and lasting change: the abolition of slavery.

Describe the economic results that took place after the closing of the Second Bank of the United States. PLEASE HURRY! WILL GIVE BRAINIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER!!!!!

Answers

The Second Bank of the United States
1816–1841

The nation made its second attempt at creating a central bank in 1816 following an economic downturn. But, like its predecessor, the institution’s charter was not renewed.

After peace with Britain came in 1815, Congress rejected new efforts to create the bank. In the months that followed, however, the federal government’s financial position deteriorated amid a broader economic downturn. Many state-chartered banks had stopped redeeming their notes, which convinced Madison and his advisers that the time had come to move the country toward a more uniform, stable paper currency. In his annual report, Dallas again called for the establishment of a national bank. After much debate and a couple of additional attempts, Madison finally signed in April 1816 an act establishing the second Bank of the United States.

Americans in the future? Defend your position with specific
reasons/evidence

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The french and the Native Americans were fighting. The british were using advantages that they had over the Natives with no guilt or remorse. They killed mothers, babies, brothers, uncles, and cousins who didn't want anything but to keep their home and their beliefs. It wasn't a war. It was a slaughter. The people didn't deserve that. France didn't actually care about them. They didn't feel that they had enough people, so they took advantage, making promises they didn't plan to keep. To this day they hardly have part of what they had, and people continue to take those few liberties away from them. Had the French won, despite the fact that they were supposed to be on the same side, I'm not sure the Natives would still exist, considering how every time the Natives helped someone, they ended up getting hurt. Thank god some of them made it. What a wonderful group of people. <3

Washington said that the government can only ever be as smart as its people so education is very important. Do you agree with him? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation: The government sometimes work with the people, not in all states but some. I believe I would agree, being educated helps the state/country. Like Washington's farewell letter, he addresses he wanted to leave multiple times, but it was the people who needed his help and guided him to make the world better. He explained how the people helped him by supporting his projects. Like some governments, they depend on the people to help them figure what projects are well, and what may not work as planned. Now, not everyone may agree. But from my perspective, I would say yes. The government is only as smart as it's people due to education.

B. Sumer farmers who raised livestock on a seasonal basis
Chunter-gatherers who settled temporarily during planting season
D. hunter-gatherers who depended on their environment for food

Answers

Answer:

D. hunter-gatherers who depended on their environment for food

Explanation:

Those who first settled on the plain of the Tigris-Euphrates were hunter-gatherers who depended on their environment for food. As of 7000 B.C, they had not already developed a proper farming system.

It was not until 4000 B.C when they began building farming villages in which they depended on the rains and later built irrigation systems to help them plant and harvest crops. They had to build the irrigation systems because of the irregularities of the natural rain between the summer and winter periods as well as the flooding that wiped off their homes and crops.
