1 In 757 there were several hundred Buddhist priests employed in the palace to conduct religious services; in 765 the Emperor, taking with him two cartloads of the Buddhist Scriptures, proceeded to deposit them in a monastery and to expound their contents. In 768 the Emperor visited a large Buddhist temple which had been built for the repose of his deceased mother, and appointed one thousand priests and nuns, also defraying the expense of annual [liturgies] for her soul. In 810 things came to such a pitch that the Emperor received into the palace with great honour a bone of Buddha, which had been originally brought from India and placed in a monastery, where it was exhibited to the populace once in thirty years, and was supposed to have a beneficial influence upon the crops.

2 The relic was kept for three days in the palace, and then passed round to various Buddhist monasteries, where it was on exhibition. This outrage upon conventions was too much for the Confucianists of the day, as represented by Han Wen-kung [also called Han Yu], one of the greatest in the long roll-call of China’s great men. He had already been degraded sixteen years before, for an offensive memorial on the subject of tax-collection; but now, at the age of fifty-one and full of honours, he rose again to the occasion, and presented another more offensive still.

3 He begins by pointing out that Buddhism is a religion of barbarians, of late introduction into China, and quite unknown to the ancients. He shows that the monarchs of old enjoyed long lives without Buddhism, and that not only the Emperors but also the dynasties of Buddhistic tendencies had always been short-lived; and he further enlarges upon the bad example which will be set by the Emperor to an ignorant people.

4 The memorial ends thus: “Buddha was a barbarian. His language was not the language of China. His clothes were of an alien cut. He did not teach the maxims of our ancient rulers, nor conform to the customs which they had handed down. He did not appreciate the bond between prince and subject, the tie between father and son. Supposing, indeed, that this Buddha had come to our capital in the flesh, under an appointment from his own State, then your Majesty might have received him with a few words of admonition, bestowing on him a banquet and a suit of clothes, previous to sending him out of the country with an escort of soldiers, and thereby have avoided any dangerous influence on the minds of the people. But what are the facts? The bone of a man long since dead and decomposed, is admitted, forsooth, within the precincts of the Imperial palace! Did not Confucius say, ‘Revere spiritual beings, while maintaining always a due reserve’?

5 When the princes of old paid visits of condolence to one another, it was customary for them to send on a magician in advance, with a peach-wand in his hand, whereby to expel all noxious bewitchments previous to the arrival of his master. Yet now your Majesty is about to introduce, without cause, a disgusting object, personally taking part in the proceedings without the intervention either of the magician or of his peach-wand. Of the officials, not one has raised his voice against it; of the censors, not one has pointed out the enormity of such an act. Therefore your servant, overwhelmed with shame at such slackness, now implores your Majesty that the bone may be handed over for destruction by fire or water, whereby the root of this great evil may be exterminated for all time, and the people know how much the wisdom of your Majesty surpasses that of ordinary men. The glory of such a deed will be beyond all praise. And should the Lord Buddha have power to avenge this insult by the infliction of some misfortune, then let the vials of his wrath be poured out upon the person of your servant, who now calls God to witness that he will not repent him of his oath. In all gratitude and sincerity, and with fear and trembling, your servant now humbly presents this memorial for your Majesty’s benign consideration.”

Answer:

C. General Cós must become a prisoner of war to the Texan army or be executed.

Explanation:

The term that was not established by Texans in the surrender agreement with General Cós is "General Cós must become a prisoner of war to the Texan army or be executed."

The Surrender Terms was signed by General Cos and General Burleson at San Antonio on December 11, 1835.

General Cos had the intention of arresting several Texas critics of Santa Anna but he was resisted.

When Cos came in the spring of 1836 with reinforcements, he was taken a prisoner by Sam Houston and was later released. He died in 1854 while serving as commandant general and political chief.

What disagreement led to the three fifths compromise? Who were the opposing sides?What did each side argue?​

Answers

Answer:

The disagreement leading to the 3/5th compromise was whether or not slaves should count as a person for representation in the House. The North and South opposed each other, the South saying they should and the North saying they shouldn't. Both sides were scared of losing power in congress. The South argued that since slaves lived in the state they should count towards representation. The North argued that since slaves were not citizens and had no say in government they should not count towards representation. The compromise was that slaves would count as 3/5th of a person towards representation. This set a precedent in America that slaves were less than a person, this was one cause of the Civil War.

Explain the differences between farms in the New England colonies, the middle colonies,
and the southern colonies in one or two paragraphs.

Answers

The middles colonies had rich farmland and a moderate climate. This made it a more suitable place to grow grain and livestock than New England. Their environment was ideal for small to large farms. The coastal lowland and bays provided harbors, thus the middle colonies were able to provide trading opportunities where the three regions meet in market towns and cities. The Southern colonies had fertile farmlands which contributed to the rise of cash crops such as rice, tobacco, and indigo.

The New England colonies had very long and cold winter, making it hard for crops to be grown. The soil was pretty rocky and unfertile, so not too many plants were grown. Most farms in New England were small family farms. The middle colonies were called the breadbasket states, because of how much wheat and barley were grown. The southern colonies grew many things. The Southern Colonies were able to grow crops, fruits, and vegetables because of their fertile soil, and warm climate.

They must say that cash crops were grown in the middle colonies, that slaves were used on large plantations in the south, and that there was subsistence farming in New England.
