Why did the japanese government accept the letter perry brought from president fillmore in 1853?
the government wanted news from the united states.
the government was impressed by the importance of the us president.
the government was unable to drive away perry’s well-armed warships.
the government was impressed by perry’s ability to speak japanese.

When Perry arrived in 1853 at Tokyo Bay he brought with him a powerful fleet of warships, he demanded supplies from the Japanese.  When the Japanese saw those ships, they knew they were no match for such modern vessels.  As a result, Japan accepted the Americans terms and signed the Treaty of Kanagawa ending Japan’s period of seclusion.So the answer is the government was unable to drive away Perry’s well-armed warships.

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.

the answer is they believed george iii would never give them their freedom.
