In his appeal to his soldiers to remain with the army, how did General George Washington convey the ideals of the Revolution?
General Washington persevered against seemingly insurmountable odds by making it clear that he rejected tyrannical power, even though it was within his grasp, by exercising the power of his example in enduring all the hardships of war with his soldiers and by persuading them to stay in the fight by any means necessary. He appealed to their patriotism, their love of home and family, and their better nature in imploring them to do their duty.

What factors enabled the Spanish to conquer the Aztec Empire?. 🤫🧏
Montezuma made the decision to invite the Spanish into the capital city rather than fight them directly. They coexisted for a matter of months before Montezuma decided to attack. Larger forces such as superior Spanish weaponry and the willingness of Native American allies to help the Spaniards were also at play in the fall of the Aztec empire.

Developed in the textile mills of Lowell, Massachusetts, in the 1820s, in these factories as much machinery as possible was used, so that few skilled workers were needed in the process, and the workers were almost all single young farm women, who worked for a few years and then returned home to be housewives.

Explain how the Missouri Compromise attempted to resolve a sectional crisis.
A series of separate bills presented to Congress and collectively known as the Missouri Compromise sought to resolve the controversy surrounding Missouri’s admission to the Union. First, Missouri was allowed to enter as a slave state, with Maine admitted as a free state. This kept the sectional balance in the U.S. States Senate. Second, slavery was prohibited in the Louisiana territory north of the thirty-six degree, thirty-minute latitude line (the southern boundary of Missouri), The Missouri Compromise provided a temporary reprieve to sectional tensions. Later, Clay crafted two other compromises that postponed sectional conflict.
This rebellion during Washington's first term occurred because frontier farmers were harmed by the excise tax, so they rebelled against tax collectors. Washington summoned a militia of 13,000 troops who were able to easily squash the rebellion without firing a shot, which reaffirmed the need for a strong, central government with a standing army in the eyes of the elite. First Term of George Washington.
whiskey rebellion
Congress (re)chartered this institution in 1816. It had extensive regulatory powers over currency and credit. It came under heavy criticism during the Panic of 1819. In 1823, Nicholas Biddle became president of this institution and pursued a strategy that strategy improved America's financial condition and stabilized the money supply, although it stifled growth in the South and West. Biddle made a major tactical blunder in 1832, however, by calling for Congress to renew the charter four years earlier than necessary. President Jackson vetoed the bill and made it the major issue of his reelection campaign later that year. This war quickly became an extremely divisive partisan issue, with Democrats supporting Jackson and Whigs supporting Biddle.

Montezuma’s annoyance at Cortés’s repeated attempts to convert him was one of the reasons influencing his decision to attack the Spanish.
