Dear Journal, April 7th, 1847
Pa says we're gettin ready to head to Oregon Country so that we might get ourselves some of that good farming land. Ma isn't real happy about moving away from her hometown, but I am starting to get slightly excited! I am afraid of this long and dangerous journey. I am thankful that I get to take along the doll my grandmother made for me before she passed away last summer. My little brother Joey is bringing along his blanket and ma is bringing her fine china that has been passed down through her family. I am so afraid that once we start our journey that Joey might get hurt or lost. He's a wandering type, and not very good at following directions! And I will certainly miss my friends from home.

Why did many British people not support the war effort? *
O They King was unpopular
O They hoped to move to America
O The cost of the war was too high
O They wanted America to have their independence
Answer:
Between 1776 and 1789 thirteen British colonies emerged as a newly independent nation, the United States of America. Fighting in the American Revolutionary War started between colonial militias and the British Army in 1775. The Second Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Under the leadership of General George Washington, the Continental Army and Navy defeated the British military securing the independence of the thirteen colonies. In 1789, the 13 states replaced the Articles of Confederation of 1777 with the Constitution of the United States of America. With its amendments, it remains the fundamental governing law of the United States today
Hey guys pls help me outtt if you guys are in k12 help me with the history testttt ):
Which statement describes the views of the Democratic-Republican Party in Thomas Jefferson's time? Ordinary citizens cannot be trusted with political power. Powers not expressly given to the federal government belonged to the states. The Supreme Court should have jurisdiction over the legislative branch. There should be a strong federal government.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. Powers not expressly given to the federal government belonged to the states.
Explanation:
The Democratic-Republican party was based on the ideas of several different individuals including Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. These men were in favor of a small central (aka federal) government. This shows that answer choices one and two are incorrect.
Along with this, the Democratic-Republicans believed that the state governments should have a significant amount of power. This is why these individuals believed that any power not given to the federal government should belong to the states.

describe the differences between the battle of saratoga and the battle of yorktown.
please helppppp 2-3 sentencessss
Answer:
Each October the LMHA celebrates two of the Continental Army’s most decisive Revolutionary War victories, the battles of Saratoga and Yorktown. While other Continental Army victories, such as the siege of Boston, were essential to the final defeat of British forces and the recognition of United States of America as an independent, sovereign nation by the British Crown, Saratoga and Yorktown are indisputably considered to be the definitive turning points of the American Revolution in that both resulted in the surrender of significant British forces along with their commanding officers (on October 17, 1777 and October 19, 1781, respectively). For the devotees of lower Manhattan history, these two battles hold special significance. Both General Horatio Gates, the commanding general at the Battle of Saratoga, and Alexander Hamilton, a key aide to General George Washington and the leader the climactic charge against redoubt 10 at the Battle of Yorktown, are buried at the site our ceremony in Trinity Churchyard. We note that while the grave of Alexander Hamilton, well known as the first Secretary of the United States Treasury and a key contributor to the Federalist Papers, has been known to patriots and historians from the day of his burial to the present, that Horatio Gates was left unmarked for almost 200 years; an omission addressed and remedied by the New York State Daughters of the American Revolution. This annual commemorative ceremony, led by the Lower Manhattan Historical Society and its sponsoring member organizations, addresses this gap in the understanding of our city’s contribution to the American Revolution cause. Also buried in Trinity Churchyard and dutifully honored as part of this ceremony is Marinus Willett, a critically important commander at the Battle of Fort Stanwix (a subsidiary battle to Saratoga and a very important post-Revolutionary War New York City politician). Additionally, the Battle of Yorktown is symbolic of the United States of America’s oldest military alliance. Powerful French land forces, commanded by the Comte de Rochambeau, and an equally important and sizable French fleet, commanded by the Comte de Grasse, played a crucial role in the defeat and capitulation of the British army commanded by Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis. As such, the celebration of this great victory offers us the opportunity to commemorate our friendship with United States of America’s first ally by hosting representatives of the French military and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

free-market system?
A. The balance of costs and benefits.
B. Supply relative to demand.
C. Revenue minus costs.
D. The amount of scarcity.
Please help!!!
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Supply relative to demand :)
The factor responsible for setting prices in a free-market system is Supply relative to demand. Thus the correct option is B.
What is the Price?A price refers to the amount which takes place between two individuals when performing the exchange of goods and services. This price is determined by the willingness of both parties involved in the exchange.
A free market system indicates a market structure where the demand and supply maintain the balance of the market and determine the prices.
It can understand with the fact that Demand and supply are measures of how willing both buyers and sellers are to purchase and sell goods.
When both buyers and sellers can reach an agreement on a price, a commodity exchange takes place. As a result, it says that supply in relation to demand influences pricing.
Therefore, option B is appropriate.
