I am a rather elderly man. The nature of my avocations for the last thirty years has brought me into more than ordinary contact with what would seem an interesting and somewhat singular set of men, of whom as yet nothing that I know of has ever been written—I mean the law-copyists or scriveners. I have known very many of them, professionally and privately, and if I pleased, could relate divers histories, at which good-natured gentlemen might smile, and sentimental souls might weep. But I waive the biographies of all other scriveners for a few passages in the life of Bartleby, who was a scrivener of the strangest I ever saw or heard of. While of other law-copyists I might write the complete life, of Bartleby nothing of that sort can be done. I believe that no materials exist for a full and satisfactory biography of this man. It is an irreparable loss to literature. Bartleby was one of those beings of whom nothing is ascertainable, except from the original sources, and in his case those are very small. What my own astonished eyes saw of Bartleby, that is all I know of him, except, indeed, one vague report which will appear in the sequel.

Ere introducing the scrivener, as he first appeared to me, it is fit I make some mention of myself, my employees, my business, my chambers, and general surroundings; because some such description is indispensable to an adequate understanding of the chief character about to be presented.
Imprimis: I am a man who, from his youth upwards, has been filled with a profound conviction that the easiest way of life is the best. Hence, though I belong to a profession proverbially energetic and nervous, even to turbulence, at times, yet nothing of that sort have I ever suffered to invade my peace. I am one of those unambitious lawyers who never addresses a jury, or in any way draws down public applause; but in the cool tranquility of a snug retreat, do a snug business among rich men's bonds and mortgages and title-deeds. All who know me, consider me an eminently safe man. The late John Jacob Astor, a personage little given to poetic enthusiasm, had no hesitation in pronouncing my first grand point to be prudence; my next, method. I do not speak it in vanity, but simply record the fact, that I was not unemployed in my profession by the late John Jacob Astor; a name which, I admit, I love to repeat, for it hath a rounded and orbicular sound to it, and rings like unto bullion. I will freely add, that I was not insensible to the late John Jacob Astor's good opinion.

What is the narrator’s relationship to Bartleby?

A(He is Bartleby’s father.

B(He is Bartleby’s employee.

C(He has only heard of Bartleby; he does not know him.

D(He is Bartleby’s supervisor.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D(He is Bartleby’s supervisor.

Bartleby and the narrator have a working relationship, a relationship that deteriorates as Bartleby withdraws and refuses to participate in life. For a while, the narrator feels responsible for Bartleby, but eventually those feeling become feelings of repulsion. The narrator tries his best to be compassionate and help Bartleby, but Bartleby seems not to care..... he has chosen his path and sticks to it. The compassion of others is not embraced.

Answers

Answer:

B.) They understand that changing stimuli, such as new tweets or breaking news stories, are more likely to grab our attention, and thus our clicks.

New technologies take advantage of our ever changing stimuli as humans to make us click on breaking news and stories or tweets on the internet space, hence generating money.

They are aware that sensational headlines grab our attention so they have taken full advantage of this to make sure we click on their breaking news, hence more money for them.

Why did poor residents have positive feelings about political machines?

a
In their dirty dealings, political machines helped improved the neighborhoods
b
The political machines gave land to many of the poor residents.
c
The political machines lowered the taxes of its citizens
d
With their dirty money, political machines bribed city contractors.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Poor residents had positive feelings about political machines because, in their dirty dealings, political machines helped improved the neighborhoods.

Explanation:

A political machine was a system of unequal personal dependencies in political apparatuses between influential people and their clients. They functioned through the allocation of offices, behind-the-scenes control and long-lasting political ties within the framework of representative democracy.  The key to the political machine was protection: being a public servant entailed the ability to do people services, and also the possibility of political corruption.

Thus, many political machines used the needs of the most deprived or vulnerable sectors of society as a tool to capture votes: through the satisfaction of their needs and patronage, they improved their quality of life in exchange for their political support in the elections.

There is a system being made and under the system, the government is being run.

Magna Carta had a significant impact on the state and federal constitutions as well as the United States Constitution. But it was shaped by what Americans in the eighteenth century thought the Magna Carta meant.

King John of England signed the Magna Carta Libertatum, also known as Magna Carta, on June 15, 1215, at Runnymede, close to Windsor. Magna Carta was created by a group of barons in the 13th century to safeguard their liberties and assets against an oppressive king. It addresses a variety of practical issues as well as particular grievances related to the feudal society they lived in.

explain the main reason why the Five Civilized Tribes were the most successful at assimilation​

Answers

Five Civilized Tribes, term that has been used officially and unofficially since at least 1866 to designate the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole Indians in Oklahoma (former Indian Territory). Beginning in 1874, they were dealt with as a single body by the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the U.S. Department of Interior, but there has never been any unification or overall organization of these tribes under that name.

Movement of Native Americans after the U.S. Indian Removal Act

Movement of Native Americans after the U.S. Indian Removal Act

Map showing the movement of some 100,000 Native Americans forcibly relocated to the trans-Mississippi West under the terms of the U.S. Indian Removal Act (1830).

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.

The word civilized was applied to the five tribes because, broadly speaking, they had developed extensive economic ties with whites or had assimilated into American settler culture. Some members of these southeastern tribes had adopted European clothing, spoke English, practiced Christianity, and even owned slaves. In 1821 the Cherokee developed a written language, and by 1828 the Cherokee Phoenix, the first Native American newspaper, began publication. The Cherokee also established a strong central government with a constitution based on the U.S. constitution.

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 authorized Pres. Andrew Jackson to accelerate the westward movement of Europeans by relocating Indian tribes to unsettled land west of the Mississippi River. While the act had explicitly provided for the purchase of land from willing parties, the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole had little desire to leave their established communities to begin anew beyond the frontier. When faced with forced removal, the Cherokee used the American federal court system to press their claims against the state of Georgia. Although the Supreme Court twice ruled in favour of the Cherokee nation, Georgia ignored the ruling, and Jackson is said to have declared privately, “[Chief Justice] John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.”

Challenged by a U.S. government that refused to respect Indian property rights or the rulings of its own judiciary, the so-called Five Civilized Tribes were left with few options. The Seminole waged a prolonged and costly guerrilla war, but most of the tribe ultimately emigrated to the west. The process of forced removal came to be known as the Trail of Tears due to the unnecessary death and hardship that characterized it. The survivors were relocated to large adjoining tracts of land in the eastern part of Indian Territory. Here they maintained a significant degree of autonomy over their internal affairs until 1907. Each organized as a “nation,” with a written constitution and laws, and a republican government modeled on that of the U.S., consisting of an executive department (headed by an elected principal chief or governor), a bicameral legislature, and a judiciary with elected judges and trial by jury. Public school systems were instituted, in part supported by tribal funds and in part provided by Christian church missionaries.

During the American Civil War most tribes were divided between supporters of the Union and the Confederacy, providing soldiers for each army. Their territories were depopulated and devastated. Before this time, and especially following the reorganization of each nation after the war, economic and educational progress was rapid, and distinctive fusions of Indian and Anglo-American cultures developed.

When transcontinental railroads were built through Indian Territory and the settlement of adjoining states increased, the Five Civilized Tribes lost their independence. Between 1893 and 1907 (when Oklahoma became a state) the U.S. government forced the allotment of the tribal lands to individual, enrolled tribal members (including freedmen, former slaves of the Indians) and abrogated the national governments. Former tribal land was opened to white settlement, and many Indian allottees lost their land through unscrupulous practices. The tribal governments have continued in modified form to the present, but with significantly less sovereignty; all tribal members are full citizens of Oklahoma and the United States. The Bureau of Indian Affairs provides some services for enrolled tribal members, but no reservation system is in effect.

Answer:

The five sivillized tribes assimilated into "Anglo-Americans" Culture the easiest, because they where the most advanced people of Native American decent. For example, the Cherokees had an alphabet and a written language. The Choctaws had a sophisticated form of government. Apon removal to indian territory the Choctaw Nation devolped a written constitution guaranteeing thier citizens certian rights similar to the U.S. Constitution. This fact enabled the Choctaws to easily assimilate into Anglo-American forms of government when they where forced to do so.

List at least two ways Southern States may respond to the 13th-15th Amendments to keep their way of life intact

Answers

The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments focused on giving past slaves rights, particularly voting rights.

Jim Crow laws and Black Codes were ways the Southern states responded to these Amendments, as they wanted to keep their way of life intact. Jim Crow laws were meant to segregate blacks and whites from each other. They essentially made it easier for the South to continue to treat African Americans harshly. The Black Codes were harsher and made it so black people could be arrested for basically no reason and they could not leave their jobs, even if they wanted to.

Poll taxes and literacy tests were more ways the South state responded. Poll taxes were put on voting polls, in order to stop African Americans from voting. Black people during this time had a hard time getting a job and were paid less, so many could not afford to pay for polling. Literacy tests were also very harsh on African Americans. Since many, did not and could not receive a proper education, they would fail the literacy tests and not be able to vote.

Only 81% of the Republicans in both houses voted for the war, and not a one of the Federalists did. The close vote reflects how unpopular the war was to large segments of the American public.

The opposition to the War of 1812 broke out in riots in the east, particularly Baltimore and New York City. The reasons for that opposition had much to do with the newness of the country and its inexperience with global politics; and the messy and unclear motives
