The "New Immigration" to the United States in the late-nineteenth century refers to the increased numbers of people arriving from

Answers

Answer: agricultural areas of eastern and southern Europe.

Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution brought to American shores waves of new immigrants from every part of the globe. Between 1860 and 1920, about one in seven Americans was foreign-born. By 1900, nearly 30 percent of the residents of major cities were foreign-born. These newcomers provided much-needed labor, but their arrival sparked ugly racial and ethnic tensions. In steadily rising numbers, immigrants moved from the agricultural areas of eastern and southern Europe directly to the largest cities of America. Once in the United States, they wanted to live with others who shared their language, customs, and religion. Ethnic neighborhoods in American cities preserved familiar folkways and shielded newcomers from the shocks of a strange culture.

Which most accurately describes the "mandate of heaven"? The Zhou Dynasty’s justification for its leadership A new religion The philosophy of Confucius A holy book.

Answers

The "Mandate of Heaven" as you said, refers to the Zhou Dynasty's justification for it's leadership. The justification was that the gods had given them power to rule. At the time there was a system commonly referred to as the, "dynastic cycle" which involved an emperor gaining power (and hence the mandate of heaven). He would rule well but eventually he would become greedy and start to tax the peasants more and more. The peasants would overthrow him and install a new mandate of heaven.

Which document did the Second Continental Congress send to King George III to reaffirm colonists’ allegiance to him, but not to Parliament?

Answers

It was the "Olive Branch Petition" that the Second Continental Congress sent to King George III to reaffirm colonists’ allegiance to him, but not to Parliament, although this ultimately failed. 

To reaffirm colonists' allegiance to King George III, but not to Parliament, the Second Continental Congress sent the Olive Branch Petition to him.

The Olive Branch Petition was the written note that the Second Continental Congress of Philadelphia sent in May of 1775 to England. In it, allegiance was assured to George III, and wishes of prompt reconciliation were expressed.

The wishes of the settlers were not fulfilled because the King refused to receive the Olive Branch Petition and declared that the colonies were in a state of rebellion. In turn, Parliament banned all trade or dealings with the Thirteen Colonies.
