Honors Questions

H1. He receives better treatment because everyone only looks on the great things he did like write the Declaration of Independence.

OK.

H4. The north was for Tariffs and the south was against them. If the governments putting a tariff on seeds and stuff they need for growing there crops then they are going to get mad. But since the north was not growing anything and they only had a few tariffs on minor things then they were not against them.

Good explanation.

H5. Take Elijah Lovejoy. He was the first white martyr for the abolitionist movement. He was killed because he said things against slavery. Today we have people who say mean things about a lot of people but no one ever dies from telling the truth.

Actual murder for telling the truth is rare today, fortunately. But people are harmed in other ways for telling the truth today too, such as losing their job or being unfairly smeared by opponents, or even going to jail. Good answer, though.

Well done! Score: 99/100.
