Answer:
a) is less effective than a direct cash transfer to poorer nations.
Explanation:
Posner and Sunstein affirm that the policies imposed on rich countries and especially the USA on combating climate change are not really beneficial policies. This is because he states that the USA, although it is largely responsible for the increase in climate change, is not one of the countries most affected by them, so it may seem unfavorable for the government to adopt changes that will promote a large expenditure of money, once that are not affected by the problem. However, the countries most affected are poor countries that, although they are most interested in changes, do not have the money to promote them. In that case, it would be more beneficial for rich countries, such as the United States, instead of promoting economic spending to lessen the impact on climate change, to donate money to affected poor countries, allowing them to use that money to promote beneficial changes in their region.

how much Money did the us spend annecing states into the union and which states were annexed?
why do you think the abolitionist feared the spread of slavery in going to war with Mexico?
Answer:
A. The United States of America spent a total of $ 110,700,000 between 1973 to 1947, annexing various parts of what has now become the United States of America into its original geographical territory which comprised of 13 colonies after the American Revolutionary War.
B. The answer is really simple. They feared that the slaves would someday soon rise to power and overthrow the sitting government.
Explanation
A. Annexation in this context refers to the total takeover politically and militarily and the absorption of an existing geographical and or political entity into a more powerful and or a larger one.
The states which were annexed are:
Louisiana - $15 Million - 1803East and West Florida - $5Million - 1819Texas - 1845Oregon Territory - 1846Mexican Cession - $18.25 Million - 1848Gadsden - $10 million - 1853Bakker Island and Howland Island - 1857Navassa Island - 1857Jarvis Island - 1858Johnston Atoll - 1858Alaska - $7.2 Million - 1867Midway Islands - 1867The Hawaiian Islands - 1898Palmyra Atoll - 1898Philippine Islands - $20 Million - 1898Puerto Rico - 1898 Guam - 1898American Samoa - 1899Wake Island - 1899Panama Canal Zone - $10.25 Million - 1903 (was eventually relinquished to Panama in the year 1999)U.S. Virgin Islands - $ 25 Million - 1917Kingman Reef - 1922Northern Marianan Islands - 1947The Federated States of Micronesia 1947 (Have become self-determined and self-governing)Republic of Palau - 1947Republic of the Marshall Islands (have become self-determined and self-governing)B. On one hand, the Southern Democrats were focused on and pushed for war. To them, a successful conquest meant that they would own more slave-territory hence preventing the North (which was growing faster than they were) from outnumbering them.
The North, on the other hand, speculated that the result of a successful conquest would substantially increase slave power. They wanted a more industrialized but not by increasing the existing geographical entity. After the conquest, David Wilmot, Democratic Congressman, introduced the Proviso, which aimed to dampen the practice of slavery in new territory acquired from Mexico. Wilmot’s proposal (which became known as the Wilmot Proviso) failed to gain popularity with the Congress, rather it created more loggerheads between them.

Which is evidence that Georgia supported the American Revolution?
There were no soldiers from Georgia in the Revolutionary army.
Georgia had delegates that signed the Declaration of Independence.
Georgia followed South Carolina in seceding from the Union.
The Stamp Act and Intolerable Acts were popular in Georgia.
Answer:
The Province (and later State) of Georgia was a significant battleground in the American Revolution. Its population was at first divided about exactly how to respond to revolutionary activities and heightened tensions in other provinces. When violence broke out in 1775, radical Patriots (also known as Whigs) took control of the provincial government, and drove many Loyalists out of the province. Georgia also served as the staging ground for several important raids into British-controlled Florida.
Though Georgians opposed British trade regulations, many hesitated to join the revolutionary movement that emerged in the American colonies in the early 1770s and resulted in the American Revolutionary War (1775–83). The colony had prospered under royal rule, and many Georgians thought that they needed the protection of British troops against a possible Indian attack. Georgia did not send representatives to the First Continental Congress that met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1774. The Congress asked all colonies to form a group, called the Association, to ban trade with Great Britain. Georgia delegates gathered in a provincial congress in Savannah on January 18, 1775, to discuss whether to join the Association and to elect representatives to the Second Continental Congress. Those who were elected declined to go to Philadelphia, however, because the delegates were divided on the action to be taken. St. John Parish, acting alone, sent Lyman Hall to the Second Continental Congress.[1]
News of the battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts caused many Georgians who were wavering in their allegiance to join the radical movement. A group called the Sons of Liberty broke into the powder magazine in Savannah on May 11, 1775, and divided the powder with the South Carolina revolutionaries.[1]
Though Georgians continued to drink to the health of the king, they took the government into their own hands when the Second Provincial Congress met in Savannah on July 4, 1775. The Congress named delegates to the Second Continental Congress, which was already sitting in Philadelphia, and adopted the Association's ban on trade with Britain. The single most important democratic action of the Congress was the establishment of local committees to enforce the Association's ban. Thus political power devolved upon artisans and farmers, considered by the royal governor James Wright to be the "wrong sort" to be allowed in government. The Congress adjourned, leaving executive authority in a standing Council of Safety.
The heavy-handed tactics of the local committee in Augusta led to the first violence in the backcountry. On August 2, 1775, members of the committee confronted Thomas Brown at his residence on the South Carolina side of the Savannah River above Augusta. Brown had come to Georgia with seventy or so indentured servants in November 1774 in answer to Governor Wright's advertisement of the advantages of the newly Ceded Lands above Augusta and founded a settlement called Brownsborough. He attracted the anger of the Whigs by publicly denouncing the Association and summoning friends of the king to join a counterassociation. When he refused to swear to honor the Association, the crowd of Liberty men tortured him in various ways, scalping and fracturing his skull, burning his feet, and hauling him, unconscious, through the streets of Augusta as an object lesson to those who would denounce the Association.[1]
When he recovered, Brown retired into the Carolina backcountry, where he and other leaders enlisted hundreds of Loyalists and threatened a march on Augusta. After much marching about and some skirmishing around the town of Ninety Six, Brown and his friends heeded South Carolina governor Sir William Campbell's advice to await the arrival of the British. Brown retreated to East Florida and persuaded its governor, Patrick Tonyn, to allow him to recruit a corps of rangers who would lead Indians to fight on the frontiers in conjunction with the expected landing on the coast. Meanwhile, rumors of a British-instigated plot to enlist slaves and Indians to help defeat the American patriots alarmed Georgians and Carolinians. Though false, the rumors were generally believed, and John Stuart, the Indian Commissioner, fled in fear for his life from Charleston, South Carolina, to Florida.[1]

A drought in California created the opportunity for a quasi-experiment on the effectiveness of fines on water conservation (Agras et al., 1980). Three comparable cities were considered - two that instituted fines at different times and a third that did not. Water consumption data for the 3 years before the onset of the fines were used as baseline and subsequent consumption data were gathered through the end of the drought. Effectiveness of fines was assessed by examining consumption the following month. In this study, researchers capitalized on real-life opportunities to study phenomena. Therefore, they maximized which type of validity
Answer:
External

why was Antietam the deadliest one day battle of the Civil War? Give two reasons please :(
Fighting began in the foggy dawn hours of September 17. As savage and bloody combat continued for eight hours across the region, the Confederates were pushed back but not beaten, despite sustaining some 15,000 casualties.
By the time the sun went down, both armies still held their ground, despite staggering combined casualties–nearly 23,000 of the 100,000 soldiers engaged, including more than 3,600 dead. McClellan’s center never moved forward, leaving a large number of Union troops that did not participate in the battle.
Which statement BEST describes the involvement of the United States involved in World War II before entering the war? *

B- The United States maintained strict neutrality with no favoritism to either side.
C- The United States provided advisory troops to aid Great Britain.
D- The United States passed the Lend-Lease Act to provide soldiers to the Allied Powers.
A- The United States passed the Lend-Lease Act to provide military aid to the Allied Powers.
Prior to Pearl Harbor, America took a "neutral" stance. I say "neutral," because they were Allies-favored. They passed a series of laws that gave indirect support to the British, allowing them to help the Allies while keeping their "neutral" stance. After Pearl Harbor, though, an enraged United States would take up arms with the Allies in the fight against the Nazis.
