"Mother do we have to go back today?" Eloise looked down at her upset daughter.
"Darling, what's the matter?" She bent over and fixed the red ribbons in the girl's blond braids.
"How come we haven't heard from daddy yet?" Eloise felt her heart drop as a cold shiver raced down her spine. She shook her thoughts away and reassured her daughter.
"Never mind that, your father is hard at work, he'll be coming home soon. Now we have to go." Eloise reapplied her red lipstick before she left for the corner store.
Walking around in a town that was now largely filled with women and children, seemed so strange to many of the women now having to fill men's places in the town work. Everywhere Eloise looked she saw pinned-up hair and heels. Occasionally she would catch herself searching through the crowd hoping to catch a glimpse of her husband. Her heart ached for him every day, and it pained her even more how her daughter might react to the news.
"Good morning little Sophia, how are you doing this fine evening?" Both smiled at Mr. Smoth, The owner of the corner store. He was one of the very few men who weren't shipped off to war due to his age.
" I don't know, I'm kind of upset." Sophia started fiddling with her pink plaid skirt.
" Oh, and why would that be young lady?" Mr. Smoth Walked both of them towards the door as fast as his cane and bad hip would allow him to do so.
" Well, daddy hasn't written back in a while." Mr. Smoth and Eloise both exchanged looks before he tried to cheer Sophia up while Eloise set up the window where she and Mrs. Patterson would be displaying war bonds and stamps.
"Sophia go into the back and help Mr. Smoth organize the selves."
"Good Morning Mrs. Barnsley, how are you this evening?" Eloise turned to see Mrs. Patterson walking in.
"I'm fine, and you?"
"Oh, just fine." She sat a basket down that was filled with stamps. "I just got a letter from John, he's getting sent back home!" She exclaimed in excitement.
"Oh my! That amazing, but how come? The war isn't over yet."
"Yes I know, he was shot in the chest and it got caught in his ribcages. He's in much pain but I'm looking forward to seeing him soon."
"That's lovely, I'm so happy for you." Eloise smiled even though she was envious that her friend was going to be able to see her husband again.
"Excuse me, Ma'am, may I have one?" Eloise turned to see a young man looking to be freshly eighteen.
"Does your mother know your here?"
"I'm required to serve my country, I'll tell her tonight when I get home."
"Alright, well thank you for your service." Eloise handed him a war bond and gave him a faint smile as he walked away. She hoped that his mother Didn't have to feel the way she does for her late husband.
"Eloise, we have other customers." Eloise looked from the boy walking to a small line of men gathering around the corner store window.
"Ah sorry." She cleared her throat and got back to work.
Hope this is ok ✌

Answer:
The Necessary and Proper Clause is known as the Elastic Clause because it one of the most powerful clauses of the US Constitution, it is located in Clause 18 of Article 1.
Article 1 clauses 1 to 17 enlist all the power of the Congress, but Clause 18 of the same article is an “open” or “elastic” clause. It gives Congress the ability to create structures that organize the government and makes it possible for the Government to write new legislation to support those explicit powers that are listed in Clauses 1 to 17. It has been called the Elastic Clause because it has been used to stretch the power of Congress.

Jacksonian democracy was built on the principles of expanded suffrage, Manifest Destiny, patronage, strict constructionism, and laissez-faire economics.
Who was Andrew Jackson?The seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson, was an American lawyer, planter, general, and statesman who presided over the country from 1829 until 1837. He rose to distinction as a general in the American Army and served in both houses of Congress before winning the presidency.
Jackson, a key general in the War of 1812, won widespread admiration for his victory over the British at New Orleans. Jackson received support from various state political factions in 1824; by 1828, enough had sided with "Old Hickory" to win a number of elections in different states and take over the federal government in Washington.
Jackson established the foundation for democracy, eliminated the national debt, acquired new lands for the United States, improved relations with other countries worldwide, and launched a new currency.

Instructions: The following is a passage that Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote in her book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Please read the following passage and underline the key points. Then answer the questions below.
"The writer has given only a faint shadow, a dim picture, of the anguish and despair that are, at this very moment, riving thousands of hearts, shattering thousands of families, and driving a helpless and sensitive race to frenzy and despair. There are those living who know the mothers whom this accursed traffic has driven to the murder of their children; and themselves seeking in death a shelter from woes more dreaded than death ... "And you, mothers of America ... I beseech you, pity the mother who has all your affections, and not one legal right to protect, guide, or educate, the child of her bosom! ... I beseech you, pity those mothers that are constantly made childless by the American slave-trade! And say, mothers of America, is this a thing to be defended, sympathized with, passed over in silence? Do you say that the people of the free state have nothing to do with it, and can do nothing? Would to God this were true! But it is not true. The people of the free states have defended, encouraged, and participated; and are more guilty for it, before God, than the South, in that they have not the apology of education or custom. "If the mothers of the free states had all felt as they should, in times past, the sons of the free states would not have been the holders, and, proverbially, the hardest masters of slaves ... "... You pray for the heathen abroad; pray also for the heathen at home. And pray for those distressed Christians whose whole chance of religious improvement is an accident of trade and sale; from whom any adherence to the morals of Christianity is, in many cases, an impossibility, unless they have given them, from above, the courage and grace of martyrdom." - Harriet Beecher Stowe
Questions
1) What is Stowe’s main idea? What arguments did Stowe put forth against slavery?
2) What audience was she trying to reach with her message
3) Women in the nineteenth century could not vote, so why did Stowe make a point of addressing mothers?
Answer:

Explanation:
with new land come new people, which includes new knowledge outside of our own. we became more advanced learning from others, which explains the invention of the boat. exploring also meant learning new languages to learn our past.
Answer:
The answer is the third and fourth one (excluding what you had said).
Explanation:
Because of exploration, places like America were founded and used for future purposes. That was a positive thing. Another positive outcome is the creation or invention of the Caravel and otehr fast moving boats. But, you say it is NOT the third. If that is the case, then I suggest that the next best option is one. So the answers would be one and four.
