Answer:
“O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming?”
dawn: early morning, just as the sun begins to rise
hail’d (hailed): to honor something (in this case the flag)
gleaming: a gleam is a flash of light, likely referring to the last bits of light hitting the flag as the sun set
twilight: the last bit of light from the sun fading as it sets
These lines ask listeners if they can see the American flag waving over Fort McHenry as the sun begins to rise. The flag is a symbol of how the Americans held the fort against all odds, so if the flag hadn’t been there, Key would have known the fort was defeated. Key held onto the flag as a symbol of hope as he watched from the British vessel, catching sight of it as the sun set, twelve hours after the British bombardment began.
“Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming?”
broad: wide, referring to the stripes that run across the American flag
perilous: dangerous
ramparts: the embankments that were part of the fort’s defense
gallantly: in a heroic or brave manner
streaming: this describes the flag waving in the wind
O’er (over): above
This bit describes the American flag flying throughout the battle.
“And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.”
There aren’t that many challenging words in this part, where Key describes how the British bombs occasionally lit up the American flag that was flying throughout the night.
“O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”
spangled: decorated
banner: a long strip of cloth or paper (in this case, a flag)
In this final verse, Key asks one last time if the flag is still there, waving over a country born from revolution and still fighting to maintain its hard-won freedom.
Have a good day!
What were the two most appealing benefits of fighting in a Crusade if you were a Christian soldier??
going to Heaven and becoming rich
rising up the social ladder and gaining power back in Europe
ridding the world of Muslims and restoring Jerusalem
seeing the glories of the Muslim world and taking them back to Europe
Answer: going to Heaven and becoming rich
seeing the glories of the Muslim world and taking them back to Europe
Explanation:
To obey the Pope's call to free the Holy city from the infidels and ensure access for pilgrims. St Bernaud of Clairvaux wrote in 1140, Of mighty soldier, oh man of war, you now have something to fight for. If you win it will be glorious. If you die fighting for Jerusalem, you will win a place in heaven.
To be forgiven for past sins. The Pope offered forgiveness for anyone who took part. This was important for knights who had killed many people in battle.
To see the world, have an adventure and prove their bravery.
To get land overseas. This was tempting for a younger son who would not inherit his father's lands.
Serfs, peasants who belonged to their lord, joined the Crusades because the Pope promised them their freedom if they went.
To gain wealth.
Kings encouraged troublesome knights to go on Crusade because it got them out of the country.
The two most appealing benefits of fighting in a Crusade if you were a Christian soldier are "going to Heaven and becoming rich, seeing the glories of the Muslim world and taking them back to Europe"

what are the dangers of dark money?
Answer:
The speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives was kicked out of his role last week after being arrested by the FBI on bribery charges a few weeks earlier. Larry Householder stands accused of taking bribes and turning those bribes into dark money, which is money spent on elections where the source is unknown to the public. His alleged crimes are exactly the type of scheme that campaign finance advocates have been warning of for years.
At the federal level, over $1 billion in dark money has been spent since 2008, and dark money has grown in state elections as well.
According to the Justice Department, the $60 million bribery scheme in Ohio was funded by an energy company then called FirstEnergy which is now called Energy Harbor. The company wanted a bailout bill that would cost the taxpayers of Ohio a billion dollars — and it got it.
House Bill 6 was shepherded through the Ohio House by Householder, passed the Ohio Senate, and was signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine in 2019. The bailout applies to two nuclear power plants in Ohio owned by FirstEnergy/Energy Harbor.According to the DOJ, the energy company gave millions of dollars to Householder’s advocacy nonprofit, called Generation Now. It then spent dark money in Ohio elections supporting both candidates and a campaign for the bailout bill. Because this money was dark, the voters in Ohio did not know its corporate source or Householder’s role in dolling it out. Generation Now, a 501(c)(4), was also charged as being a participant in the conspiracy.
This is precisely the trouble with dark money in our elections. It could be covering up all sorts of illegality, from alleged bribes of lawmakers in the Ohio case here or potentially illegal foreign money in American elections. And even when dark money is simply hiding a cowardly corporate donor, it still robs shareholders and voters of transparency and accountability.
