Why did the US get involved in the Transatlantic slave trade?
Please be write as much as you can.
Will mark brainiest!
Answer:
Atlantic-historian Leonardo Marques’ new book is therefore the first to comprehensively examine the United States’ links to the slave trade between the Revolution and the Civil War, and it reveals the plethora of ways that Americans were involved in the business. Marques first describes how Rhode Island merchants pushed into the slave trade after the Revolution, taking advantage of the opening of Cuba to foreign slave ships. Merchants in Bristol, Rhode Island, flouted Congress’ 1807 abolition of the trade until 1820, when a new act made it a capital crime for U.S. citizens to be involved in the slave trade. Although historians have seen the 1820 act as toothless—no U.S. citizen was executed for illegal slave trading until 1862—Marques contends that “[e]vidence of U.S. citizens financing slave voyages almost disappears after 1820” (105). Marques then explores how the U.S. continued to be involved in slave trafficking after 1820. Between 1820 and 1866, slave ships carried 2.4 million Africans to the Americas, principally to Brazil (1.5m) and Cuba (0.7m). Using new data, Marques reveals that the majority of these Africans were forcibly transported in American built vessels that were designed to outrun the British Navy’s anti-slave-trade squadron. While slave ships typically flew the Portuguese or Spanish flag after 1807, a significant proportion sailed under the Stars and Stripes, which offered protection from search and seizure by the British Navy. U.S. citizens also continued to be concerned in the trade. Yankee captains and sailors manned slavers alongside foreigners. And American merchant firms in Brazil had Africans consigned to them during the 1830s and 1840s, who they resold to plantations, sometimes to American-owned coffee estates. When Brazilian authorities—under pressure from British and American consuls—drove out Portuguese and Spanish slave traders in 1856, many of them relocated to New York where they acquired American citizenship and dispatched slave ships to Cuba under the American flag. Marques’ new research thus demonstrates that the small numbers of captives carried on U.S. owned and flagged vessels belies a much deeper and persistent connection between the United States and the slave trade.

How could the English bill of rights lead to political revolution
The English Bill of Rights(BoR) limits the power of the monarchy by creating a separation of powers, therefore enhancing and protecting the rights of citizens. After the Glorious Revolution, William and Mary had to agree to accept the Bill of Rights before they were able to be sworn in as king and queen in February 1689.
A constitutional monarchy, in which the king and queen serve as the head of state but have legal restrictions placed on them, was made possible in England as a result of the English Bill of Rights(BoR). The people are granted particular privileges under this system, and the king is forbidden from ruling without the approval of the Parliament.
William III and Mary II, who took over as co-regents of England after the assassination of King James II, signed the English Bill of Rights(BoR) became law in 1689. The statute specified particular civil and constitutional liberties as well as, in the end, offered Parliament control over the monarchy.

Four major candidates ran in the 1824 election, all under the "Democratic-Republican" name. One of the candidates, Andrew Jackson, was already famous. In the 1780s, he earned the right to practice law and served in various offices of the state government, including senator. He earned the nickname "Old Hickory" for his toughness as a general during the War of 1812 and First Seminole War. Jackson supported slavery and "Indian removal." This earned him support from voters in southern and frontier states. The other three candidates were John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, Henry Clay of Kentucky, and William Crawford of Georgia.
U.S. presidents are elected through the Electoral College. The Founding Fathers worried that Americans were too spread out to learn enough about the candidates. Under the Electoral College, Americans cast their ballot for the popular vote, which chooses the electors for each state. The number of electoral votes each state equals the number of representatives and senators combined. The candidates must win an absolute majority of electoral votes to win the election.
In 1824, Andrew Jackson won the popular vote, but he did not win it in each state. Jackson and Adams both won many electoral votes. Jackson won the most with 99. However, a candidate needs an absolute majority of electoral votes to win. In 1824, Jackson needed 131 to win. When there is not majority winner, the election goes to the House of Representatives. This has only happened twice in U.S. history.
Even though he won the popular vote and many electoral votes, Andrew Jackson lost the presidency in 1824. John Quincy Adams was the Secretary of State at this time. Henry Clay was the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Henry Clay, receiving the least, was left out. However, as a leader in the House of Representatives, he had influence over the other members. Clay openly hated Jackson and there were rumors that Clay made a deal with Adams in exchange for his support. The House election declared John Quincy Adams president. Soon, he chose Henry Clay to fill the seat he left vacant, Secretary of State. Jackson was shocked and enraged. Although there was no inquiry of possible wrongdoing, Jackson accused Adams and Clay of making a "corrupt bargain."
John Quincy Adams was a disappointment as president. Many of his goals created divisions like federal funds for internal improvement. Some states thought that taking federal funds would force them to follow certain rules. They felt this reduced their rights as independent states. Jackson took advantage of issues like this one to gather more support. More Jackson supporters found their way to seats in Congress. He was as a man of the people and said Adams could never understand the common man's concerns.
John Quincy Adams ran against Andrew Jackson in the 1828 election. Personal attacks grew even more vicious, but Andrew Jackson appealed to many. He believed government was for the common man. He believed in strict reading of the law and limited internal improvements. He also believed in states' rights.
Andrew Jackson easily won the 1828 election, winning both the popular vote and a majority of electoral votes. Historians note the sectional nature of the voting. Support for Jackson was concentrated in South while Adams' support was mostly in the North. Jackson was so popular because he brought changes to the government. He also wanted to make sure the government was responsible for its actions. Jackson pushed settlement into the frontier. He supported the Indian Removal act. He also defended the spread of slavery. Though his support was heavier in the South, he was determined to keep a unified nation. The rise and presidency of Old Hickory is memorable to Americans today.

Chooses the winner of an election if the popular vote is disputed
b
Reduces the number of smear campaigns among candidates
c
Publishes the results from each state's chosen electors

Answer: so the answer is D
The original purpose of the Electoral College was to reconcile differing state and federal interests, provide a degree of popular participation in the election, give the less populous states some additional leverage in the process by providing “senatorial” electors, preserve the presidency as independent of Congress and generally insulate the election process from political manipulation.

How many native Americans tribes were located in the plains 1860
Answer:
Native Americans, also known as American Indians, First Americans, Indigenous Americans and other terms, are the indigenous peoples of the United States, sometimes including Hawaii and territories of the United States and sometimes limited to the mainland. There are 574 federally recognized tribes living within the US, about half of which are associated with Indian reservations. "Native Americans" (as defined by the United States Census) are Indigenous tribes that are originally from the continental United States, plus Alaska Natives.
Indigenous peoples of the United States who are not American Indian or Alaska Native include Native Hawaiians, Samoans, or Chamorros. The US Census groups these peoples as "Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander."
The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in what is now the United States at least 15,000 years ago, possibly much earlier, from Asia via Beringia.[3] A vast variety of peoples, societies and cultures subsequently developed. European colonization of the Americas, which began in 1492, resulted in a precipitous decline in Native American population because of new diseases to which they had no immunity, wars, ethnic cleansing, and enslavement.[4][5][6][7] After its formation, the United States, as part of its policy of settler colonialism, continued to wage war and perpetrated massacres against many Native American peoples, removed them from their ancestral lands, and subjected them to one-sided treaties and to discriminatory government policies, later focused on forced assimilation, into the 20th century.[8][9][10] Since the 1960s, Native American self-determination movements have resulted in changes to the lives of Native Americans, though there are still many contemporary issues faced by Native Americans. Today, there are over five million Native Americans in the United States, 78% of whom live outside reservations: California, Arizona and Oklahoma have the largest populations of Native Americans in the United States. Most Native Americans live in small-town or rural areas.
When the United States was created, established Native American tribes were generally considered semi-independent nations, as they generally lived in communities separate from white settlers. The federal government signed treaties at a government-to-government level until the Indian Appropriations Act of 1871 ended recognition of independent native nations, and started treating them as "domestic dependent nations" subject to federal law. This law did preserve the rights and privileges agreed to under the treaties, including a large degree of tribal sovereignty. For this reason, many (but not all) Native American reservations are still independent of state law and actions of tribal citizens on these reservations are subject only to tribal courts and federal law.
The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans born in the United States who had not yet obtained it. This emptied the "Indians not taxed" category established by the United States Constitution, allowed natives to vote in state and federal elections, and extended the Fourteenth Amendment protections granted to people "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. However, some states continued to deny Native Americans voting rights for several decades. Bill of Rights protections do not apply to tribal governments, except for those mandated by the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968.

What do you think Sherman’s overall strategy towards the south was ?
Answer:
From November 15 until December 21, 1864, Union General William T. Sherman led some 60,000 soldiers on a 285-mile march from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia. The purpose of Sherman’s March to the Sea was to frighten Georgia’s civilian population into abandoning the Confederate cause. Sherman’s soldiers did not destroy any of the towns in their path, but they stole food and livestock and burned the houses and barns of people who tried to fight back. The Yankees were “not only fighting hostile armies, but a hostile people,” Sherman explained; as a result, they needed to “make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war.”
