"There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of

Boston! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come...Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is

no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of

resounding arms! Our [friends] are already in the field! Why stand we here [still]? What is it that gentlemen wish? What

would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it,

Almighty God! I know not what course

others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

- Patrick Henry, speech in support of the colonies in rebellion against Great Britain,

"Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" March, 20, 1775

Your answer

Assigned

Answer

Patrick Henry compares the choice between liberty and death to the choice between chains and slavery. I feel strongly that this comparison is powerful and emphasizes the importance of liberty. It conveys the idea that liberty is worth fighting for and that it is worth sacrificing one's life for.

Answer

C. The Women's War.

Download to view full explanation

The Women's War, also known as the Aba Women's Riots, was a significant event that occurred in Nigeria in 1929. It was a protest by thousands of Igbo women from the southeastern part of Nigeria against the policies imposed by British colonial administrators. The women were particularly upset about the imposition of taxes, the lack of women's representation in the colonial government, and the forced labor of women in the region. The protests began in November 1929 and quickly spread throughout the region, with women from different ethnic groups joining in. The women used a variety of tactics, including singing protest songs, boycotting markets, and attacking colonial offices. The British colonial authorities responded with force, using troops to suppress the protests and arresting many of the women involved. Despite the violent suppression of the protests, the Women's War had a significant impact on Nigerian history. It was one of the first major challenges to British colonial rule in Nigeria and helped to galvanize nationalist movements in the country. The Women's War also highlighted the important role that women played in Nigerian society and politics, and paved the way for greater women's participation in the struggle for independence.
