Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate−we cannot consecrate−we cannot hallow−this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us−that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion−that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain−that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom−and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Sargon created the world’s first empire by :
A :defeating Hammurabi in battle
B: destroying the city-state of Ur.
C: uniting Akkadian and Babylonian lands.
D:conquering Mesopotamian city-states.
Sargon created the world’s first empire by conquering Mesopotamian city-states. Thus the correct option is D.
What is Sargon?The world's first empire is attributed to Sargon of Akkad, a monarch who governed the city of Akkad in Mesopotamia (current-day Iraq) in the 23rd century BCE.
Sargon wanted to safeguard his control over the regions, so he appointed reliable officials to rule in each Sumerian city, establishing an efficient administration.
Then, he started to expand his domain by conquering neighboring city-states after first establishing himself as a strong leader in Akkad. He attacked and conquered these cities with the aid of his army, and after that, he replaced their native rulers with slaves that served him.
Therefore, option D is appropriate.

answer all of it for brainiest !!
First : The British victory in the French and Indian War had a great impact on the British Empire. Firstly, it meant a great expansion of British territorial claims in the New World. But the cost of the war had greatly enlarged Britain's debt. Moreover, the war generated substantial resenment towards the colonists among English leaders, who were not satisfied with the financial and military help they had received from the colonists during the war. All these factors combined to persuade many English leaders that the colonies needed a major reorganization and that the central authority should be in London. The English leaders set in motion plans to give London more control over the government of the colonies and these plans were eventually a big part of the colonial resentment towards British imperial policies that led to the American Revolution.
Second : The passing of the Tea Act imposed no new taxes on the American colonies. ... Besides the tax on tea which had been in place since 1767, what fundamentally angered the American colonists about the Tea Act was the British East India Company's government sanctioned monopoly on tea.
Third: By allowing the East India Company to sell tea directly in the American colonies, the Tea Act cut out colonial merchants, and the prominent and influential colonial merchants reacted with anger.

Choose two groups of people that were described in the article. How was their experience of the event similar? How was it different? Write a response that compares the perspectives of two groups of people using details from the article.
Massachusetts Bay - “The City Upon a Hill”
More than a thousand Puritans on 11 ships left England in 1630. The Puritans were fed up with the Church of England. They felt they couldn't practice their religion in England. The king of England didn't like the Puritans much either. So, he gave them permission to set up colonies in New England. The Puritans landed in the area of Massachusetts. John Winthrop was on one of those ships. He knew England would be watching them to see how they did. He wrote, "We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us." Winthrop later became governor of Massachusetts.
Puritans believed in predestination, which taught that God is all-powerful and all-knowing. So, each person is known to God at birth, and nothing a person can do or say could change his future. Not everyone could be a Puritan Church member. Only those chosen by God to be "saved" could be Church members. A person must see and feel the grace and power of God, so then he knows he is "saved." During the early years, ministers such as John Cotton made sure people were really "saved."
The colony needed more than the "saved" people to survive. There were many dissenters, or Christian men and women who were not "saved." These people had jobs in business which were needed for the colony to survive.
There was also a need for elected leaders that made laws. Ministers were not allowed to run for office. But many of the most important decisions were made by them.
Puritan life
Almost 14,000 more Puritans came to Massachusetts from England in the next few years. So the colony began to spread out across New England. People began to live longer and healthier lives. It was often said that New England invented grandparents, which meant many people grew old enough to see their children have children. Puritans wanted their children to be able to read the Bible, so every town, with at least 50 families, built schools.
Massachusetts Bay was a man's world, and women could not speak at town meetings or vote. Puritans believed women who were pregnant with a male child had pink cheeks, and those having a female child had pale cheeks. Names of women included Patience, Silence, Fear, Comfort and Be Fruitful, which shows what Puritans thought about women.
Everyone went to church. People had to pay fines if they missed services. The minister's sermon or speech was about town problems. Often a man held a long pole to wake people or push children who were laughing. Church was very serious.
Puritan dissent
The Puritans believed they were doing God's work. Those who sinned and did not do God's work were punished. Some could be put in jail. Others were whipped or brought to the public square in the center of town, where people would spit on them. Some were even killed.
People were not free to think for themselves. Some free-thinkers could be forced to leave their homes and never return. Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson were two free-thinkers who spoke their minds and were sent away.
Roger Williams believed in the separation of church and state. He said churches should not get money from the taxes leaders of the town government collected from the people. Williams also said the Native Americans were not paid enough for their land. Massachusetts banished him from his home in 1636.
Williams bought some land from the Narragansett Indians and started the colony of Rhode Island, where people could be free thinkers.
Anne Hutchinson believed in predestination, which taught that God is all-powerful and all-knowing. She said it was God who controlled the future, not the rules of the church. Puritans believed this, but she said the ministers were actually teaching people they could do things to get into heaven. She also said people who were "saved" didn't have to follow the law. Sometimes 80 people would come to her home each week to hear her sermons.
The ministers decided to arrest her, and the court found her guilty. She was banished and moved to Rhode Island, too.
Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson were two brave souls who told people they have the right to disagree.
There is another side of Puritan life that is not well known. They did have some fun, too. People sang and told stories. They drank wine and beer. Children were allowed to play games with their parents' permission. Puritans did not all dress in black as many believe. They tried to follow God's law. People who did what the ministers said, lived in peace.

Explain how scientific and technological innovations (e.g. the steam engine, new textile technology, steel processing, medical advances, electricity, and new methods of transportation) led to massive social, economic, cultural, and demographic changes
Answer:
The Industrial Revolution (1750–1900)
The term Industrial Revolution, like similar historical concepts, is more convenient than precise. It is convenient because history requires division into periods for purposes of understanding and instruction and because there were sufficient innovations at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries to justify the choice of this as one of the periods. The term is imprecise, however, because the Industrial Revolution has no clearly defined beginning or end. Moreover, it is misleading if it carries the implication of a once-for-all change from a “preindustrial” to a “postindustrial” society, because, as has been seen, the events of the traditional Industrial Revolution had been well prepared in a mounting tempo of industrial, commercial, and technological activity from about 1000 CE and led into a continuing acceleration of the processes of industrialization that is still proceeding in our own time. The term Industrial Revolution must thus be employed with some care. It is used below to describe an extraordinary quickening in the rate of growth and change and, more particularly, to describe the first 150 years of this period of time, as it will be convenient to pursue the developments of the 20th century separately.
Windmills
Meanwhile, British windmill construction was improved considerably by the refinements of sails and by the self-correcting device of the fantail, which kept the sails pointed into the wind. Spring sails replaced the traditional canvas rig of the windmill with the equivalent of a modern venetian blind, the shutters of which could be opened or closed, to let the wind pass through or to provide a surface upon which its pressure could be exerted. Sail design was further improved with the “patent” sail in 1807. In mills equipped with these sails, the shutters were controlled on all the sails simultaneously by a lever inside the mill connected by rod linkages through the windshaft with the bar operating the movement of the shutters on each sweep. The control could be made more fully automatic by hanging weights on the lever in the mill to determine the maximum wind pressure beyond which the shutters would open and spill the wind. Conversely, counterweights could be attached to keep the shutters in the open position. With these and other modifications, British windmills adapted to the increasing demands on power technology. But the use of wind power declined sharply in the 19th century with the spread of steam and the increasing scale of power utilization. Windmills that had satisfactorily provided power for small-scale industrial processes were unable to compete with the production of large-scale steam-powered mills.
Steam engines
Although the qualification regarding older sources of power is important, steam became the characteristic and ubiquitous power source of the British Industrial Revolution. Little development took place in the Newcomen atmospheric engine until James Watt patented a separate condenser in 1769, but from that point onward the steam engine underwent almost continuous improvements for more than a century. Watt’s separate condenser was the outcome of his work on a model of a Newcomen engine that was being used in a University of Glasgow laboratory. Watt’s inspiration was to separate the two actions of heating the cylinder with hot steam and cooling it to condense the steam for every stroke of the engine. By keeping the cylinder permanently hot and the condenser permanently cold, a great economy on energy used could be effected. This brilliantly simple idea could not be immediately incorporated in a full-scale engine because the engineering of such machines had hitherto been crude and defective. The backing of a Birmingham industrialist, Matthew Boulton, with his resources of capital and technical competence, was needed to convert the idea into a commercial success. Between 1775 and 1800, the period over which Watt’s patents were extended, the Boulton and Watt partnership produced some 500 engines, which despite their high cost in relation to a Newcomen engine were eagerly acquired by the tin-mining industrialists of Cornwall and other power users who badly needed a more economic and reliable source of energy.

Why did the English colonies have a difficult time seeing themselves as one nation?
The English colonies had a difficult time seeing themselves as one nation because they acted as the independent republics rather than the United States.
What were Colony?The Colony refers to the region where the native people were ruled by the dominating state who came to another country in order to trade and acquire the political power.
They were the immigrants to a new area with the support of the government. They are also referred as the settlers in the new region.
Therefore, it can be concluded that Because they operated more like autonomous republics than the United States, the English colonies had a hard time understanding their unity. Each set out on its own course, which made achieving unification in the end quite challenging.
