text: 4 months later, McQueen returns to Radiator Springs and isolates himself from his friends, instead watching footage of his late mentor Doc Hudson, who was forced into retirement by a similar accident and fears that this will happen to him as well. McQueen's sponsors from Rust-eze, Rusty and Dusty, surprise him by asking him to continue to race, revealing they have sold the team to a new owner Sterling, who operates a state-of-the-art training center known as the Rust-eze Racing Center. There, McQueen meets Sterling and is assigned to train under Cruz Ramirez. Cruz's methodical approach to training wears on McQueen's impatience, and he attempts to use a high tech racing simulator - only to end up damaging it. Sterling decides McQueen is unfit to race and instead plans to use him for promotional materials only. McQueen contests this and instead makes a deal; if he should win the first race of the season, he will get to determine when he retires, otherwise he will retire on the spot. Sterling accepts the deal but assigns him to work one-on-one with Cruz.

text: McQueen tries to train on the nearby Fireball Beach in order to build up his speed, but he finds most of his time spent on teaching Cruz how to drive on various terrain. McQueen then attempts to race at a dirt track called Thunder Hollow, and inadvertently becomes part of a demolition derby that Cruz wins to her elation and McQueen's embarrassment. Distraught at the waste of training time, McQueen rages at Cruz and in the process, accidentally breaks her trophy. Upset, Cruz reveals that she had wanted to race professionally all her life, since she was inspired by McQueen, but never started a race because she felt intimidated by the other racers and simply lacked confidence. She resigns as McQueen's trainer and heads back to the training centre.

text: With no other options, McQueen calls up his friend Mater who suggests he talk to Doc's mentor Smokey in Doc's hometown of Thomasville. McQueen catches up to Cruz, apologies to her, and convinces her to join him. In Thomasville, McQueen meets up with Smokey, who recounts how, despite his forced retirement, Doc found a new happiness in training McQueen. After McQueen accepts that he will never be as fast as Storm, Smokey and his friends help McQueen learn new tricks to overcome his speed disadvantage with Cruz as his sparring partner. However during the last practice race, Cruz suddenly overtakes him and he suffers a flashback to his crash, shaking his confidence.

text: At the race in Florida, McQueen is coached by Smokey from the pits and manages to gradually push up through the ranks. Sterling, who still believes McQueen cannot win, orders Cruz back to the center to train a racer for the next race, despite her wanting to stay and watch the race. McQueen overhears this and remembers that Cruz had wanted to race because of him. He decides to formulate a plan; the next time he pits, he tells his crew to outfit Cruz in his racing number to try and finally beat Storm. Cruz is initially shaken by her confidence, but Smokey and McQueen help her to pull ahead. On the last lap Cruz catches up to Storm. Storm, feeling threatened, tries intimidate her - even to the point of ramming her against the wall, but she uses one of Doc's tricks to repel off it, take the lead, and win.

text: As Cruz celebrates her victory, Sterling offers her a role on his team, but she instead takes a counteroffer made by Tex Dinoco. Sterling reminds McQueen about his bet, but McQueen points out that his name is shared with Cruz's on the leaderboard as victors since both him and Cruz raced with the winning number and thus winning the deal. Sometime later McQueen and Cruz have returned to Radiator Springs decked out in Doc's old color and number, respectively. They learn that Tex has bought the Rust-eze team from Sterling, and McQueen decides to continue racing and train Cruz as well.

text: In the post-credits scene, Mater at his junkyard tries to answer an incoming call from his phone. Somehow he accidentally touches his reception antenna and his phone goes dead much to his dismay.

text: Production[edit]

text: Development on Cars 3 began in 2011 after the release of Cars 2,[14] and by March 2014 pre-production was underway.[15] In October 2014, Pixar's chief creative officer John Lasseter revealed at the Tokyo International Film Festival that the film would feature a tribute to Hayao Miyazaki's film The Castle of Cagliostro, in a form of an old Citroën 2CV.[16]

text: Prior to the film's release, John Lasseter, director of the previous Cars films, stated that the film had a "very emotional story", similar in tone to the first film.[17] Co-writer Kiel Murray, who also co-wrote the original Cars, said of the return to the series roots, "With these franchises you always want to know who it's about. The first movie was about McQueen, and the second movie was a sort of off-ramp to the Mater story. We wanted to get back to the McQueen story. When we looked at what would be next for him, we wondered what that would be like both as an athlete, and also for what he was dealing with in the rest of his life."[18]

text: On January 5, 2017, it was announced that Armie Hammer and Cristela Alonzo would voice Jackson Storm and Cruz Ramirez, respectively. Two months later, Nathan Fillion, Kerry Washington and Lea Delaria joined the cast.[9]

text: Soundtracks[edit]

text: There are two soundtracks released for the third film. The original motion picture soundtrack features rock/pop songs featured in the film, while the original score soundtrack features the score composed and conducted by Randy Newman.[19]

text: Release[edit]

text: Cars 3 was released in theaters on June 16, 2017, in the United States, in 3D[20] and selected IMAX theaters,[21] accompanied by the Pixar short film Lou.[22] The film had a special screening for the NASCAR industry in Kannapolis, North Carolina on May 23, 2017.[23] The world premiere was held in Anaheim, California on June 10, 2017.[24]

text: Video game[edit]

text: A tie-in video game has been announced to accompany the film's release. It was developed by Avalanche Software, which was shut down by Disney in 2016, but was acquired and revived by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It was released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on June 13, 2017, in North America,[25] in Europe and Australasia on July 14, 2017,[26] and in Japan on July 20, 2017. As Disney no longer develops and publishes video games after the release of Disney Infinity 3.0, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment published the tie-in game.[27]

text: Home media[edit]

text: Cars 3 was released on Digital HD on October 24, 2017 and was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on November 7, 2017, by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.[28]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Box office[edit]

text: Cars 3 grossed $152.9 million in the United States and Canada and $230.8 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $383.7 million, against a production budget of $175 million.[5]

text: In North America, Cars 3 was released alongside Rough Night, 47 Meters Down and All Eyez on Me, and was projected to gross $55–60 million from 4,256 theaters in its opening weekend.[29][30] It made $2.8 million from Thursday night previews and $19.5 million on its first day. It went on to open to $53.7 million, finishing first at the box office and dethroning two-time first-place finisher Wonder Woman. Cars 3 had the lowest opening of the series, but nevertheless was the 16th Pixar film to debut at number one.[31] In its second weekend, the film grossed $24.1 million, dropping to third place, behind Transformers: The Last Knight and Wonder Woman.[32] In its third weekend the film made $9.7 million ($14.1 million over the five-day 4th of July holiday weekend), dropping to 5th.[33]

text: Internationally, the film made $21.3 million from its opening in 23 markets, which was 9% more than Cars 2 and 29% more than Cars.[34] The film opened in China on August 25 and grossed $10.8 million over its debut weekend.[35] The biggest markets in terms of total earnings are China ($20.8 million), followed by France ($19.5 million), Japan ($16.1 million), Mexico ($15.6 million), and the UK ($15.2 million).[36]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 68% based on 190 reviews, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Cars 3 has an unexpectedly poignant story to go with its dazzling animation, suggesting Pixar's most middle-of-the-road franchise may have a surprising amount of tread left."[37] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score of 59 out of 100, based on reviews from 41 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[38] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[31]

text: In his review for Variety, Owen Gleiberman wrote, "Cars 3 is a friendly, rollicking movie made with warmth and dash, and to the extent that it taps our primal affection for this series, it more than gets the job done. Yet in many ways it’s the tasteful version of a straight-to-DVD (or streaming) sequel."[39] David Fear of Rolling Stone gave the film a positive review, saying: "There's an emotional resonance to this story about growing old, chasing glory days and the joy of passing the baton that leaves the other two films choking on its digitally rendered dust. The end goal this time out isn't just to sell a few more toys and Lightning McQueen lunchboxes. It's actually tapping into something deeper than a corporate bottom line."[40] Mike Ryan of Uproxx called the film 'The Rocky III Of The Cars Franchise,' and wrote "There’s a hint of sadness that seems to be present throughout Cars 3 that gives it a little more weight than the previous installments."[41]

text: Alonso Duralde of TheWrap gave the film a mixed review, saying: "As a spawner of merchandise, Cars 3 fires on all pistons but, as a movie, it's a harmless but never stimulating 109 minutes."[42] Vicky Roach gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying: "Returning to the iconic, backroads nostalgia of the original film, Cars 3 puts the flashy, unpopular middle film squarely in its rear vision mirror. The route that the filmmakers take might be familiar, but after gunning it, they take the corners like pros."[43]

text: Possible sequel[edit]

text: Regarding a possible Cars 4, Cars 3 producers Kevin Reher and Andrea Warren stated speaking to Cinema Blend that "If there's a good story to tell, I mean, our heads kinda break after having gotten this one done, like "oh my God" what could you do the further adventures of? But like any sequel, from Toy Story 4 to Incredibles 2, as long as there's a good story to tell it's worth investing, we do love these characters, we love them as much as the public does."[55] Regarding which character would be the main protagonist in the film, Reher and Warren stated that "if Cruz is a breakout character, kind of like Mater was", "she would be involved in a 4".[56] Owen Wilson stated at a Cars 3 press event that possible stories have been discussed for a Cars 4, though he would personally like for a fourth Cars film to delve into aspects of the thriller genre, akin to Cars 2.[57]


document_title: Southern bread riots

question_text: what caused the bread riots in richmond in 1863

text: Southern bread riots

text: Causes[edit]

text: The riots were triggered by the women's lack of money, provisions, and food.[2] All were the result of multiple factors:

text:
Inflation had soared and incomes had not.[3]
Refugees had flooded the cities causing severe shortages of housing and overwhelming the old food supply system. Richmond tripled from 38,000 people in 1860 to over 100,000 by 1863.[4][5]
Food supplies in rural areas were running short and less was exported to cities; foraging armies, both Union and Confederate, ravaged crops and killed farm animals.[6]
Many cities—especially Richmond—were at the end of long supply lines, and internal transportation became increasingly difficult.[7]
The drought of 1862 created a poor harvest that did not yield enough in a time when food was already scarce.
Salt, which at the time was the only practical meat preservative, was very expensive (if available at all) because it was generally an imported item. The Union blockade prevented imports, and the capture of Avery Island, with its salt-mine, exacerbated the problem.[8]

text: Similarly to the French Revolution, citizens, mostly women, began to protest the exorbitant price of bread. The protesters believed a negligent government and speculators were to blame. To show their displeasure, many protesters turned to violence. In Richmond; Columbus, Georgia, Macon, Atlanta, and Augusta armed mobs attacked stores and warehouses. In North Carolina, mobs destroyed grocery and dry goods stores.[9]

text: Food riots were occurring before the arrival of Union troops because the Confederate Army was suffering the same food shortages and was taking food stocks for its own needs. Additionally, as the cost of war for the Confederate government exceeded the tax revenue, legislation was enacted that exacerbated the situation by devaluing the Confederate currency and inflating prices of goods.

text: Richmond Bread Riots[edit]

text: On April 2, 1863 in the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, about 5,000 people, mostly poor women, broke into shops and began seizing food, clothing, shoes, and even jewelry before the Militia arrived to restore order. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of items were stolen. No one died and few were injured.[10] The riot was organized and instigated by Mary Jackson, a huckster and the mother of a soldier.[11]

text: President Jefferson Davis pleaded with the women and even threw them money from his pockets, asking them to disperse, saying "You say you are hungry and have no money; here, this is all I have". The mayor read the riot act; the governor called out the militia, and it restored order.[12]


document_title: Tommen Baratheon

question_text: who becomes king after joffrey dies in game of thrones

text: Tommen Baratheon

text: Character description[edit]

text: Prince Tommen Baratheon is the brother of Joffrey and Princess Myrcella and is second in line for the throne.  Tommen is Queen Cersei Lannister's youngest son and, like his siblings, he is also the son of Cersei's brother Jaime Lannister, but he is unaware of this, as he believes Robert Baratheon to be his father. Tommen is described as handsome, kind, and weak-willed, though he tries hard. He loves his kittens, and is kind hearted.[4]

text: Tommen is seven years old at the beginning of A Game of Thrones (1996). He is the youngest child of Cersei and Jaime Lannister.

text: Overview[edit]

text: Tommen Baratheon is not a point of view character in the novels, so his actions are witnessed and interpreted through the eyes of other people, such as his mother Cersei Lannister, his uncle Tyrion Lannister, and Sansa Stark. Tommen is mostly a background character in the novels.[5]

text: In the books[edit]

text: After King Joffrey's death in A Storm of Swords, Tommen is crowned and marries Joffrey's young widow, Margaery Tyrell. Tommen is a submissive child and, as a result, does everything that is asked of him.  Thus, Cersei uses him to rule as she likes, though Margaery manipulates him into resisting his mother.[6]

text: In the TV series[edit]

text: Tommen Baratheon is the prince presented as the youngest son of King Robert Baratheon and Queen Cersei Lannister. Like his older siblings Joffrey and Myrcella, his actual father is his uncle Ser Jaime Lannister. Like his sister, he is good-natured and passive in contrast to his brother Joffrey. He is fond of his uncle Tyrion.

text: Season 2[edit]

text: When Myrcella was shipped off to Dorne as part of a marriage alliance with the Lannisters, Tommen wept when his sister left, for which Joffrey chastised him. During the battle of the Blackwater, Cersei was prepared to give him nightshade drops for a quick painless death rather than brutality, until Tywin announced that they won the battle.

text: Season 4[edit]

text: Tommen is present at Joffrey and Margaery's wedding. He also attended Joffrey's funeral during which Tywin proceeds to tell Tommen about the duties of a king's marriage, ignoring Cersei's angry glares. Margaery later visits Tommen one night where he reveals his pet cat Ser Pounce, and the fact that he and Joffrey didn't get along. This causes him and Margaery to bond over their mutual relief that they are free of him. Tommen agrees that he'd like Margaery to visit him again. Margaery departs, but not before giving him a kiss on the forehead. A ceremony is held in the Red Keep where the high septon officially crowns Tommen as king.[7] At Tyrion's trial Tommen excuses himself from the trial, possibly on Tywin's advice.

text: Season 5[edit]

text: During the wake of his deceased grandfather, Tommen is approached by Margaery, who shares a few close words with him and holds his hand briefly. All of this is observed by Cersei from afar. Tommen and Margaery later marry and consummate that same night, whereupon Margaery begins to manipulate Tommen into trying to send Cersei back to Casterly Rock. When he does, Cersei immediately begins scheming to get rid of the Tyrells through the High Sparrow and Faith Militant by arranging them to arrest Loras Tyrell for his homosexuality and Margaery for her knowledge of this. However, Cersei's plan backfires and she is also arrested. Tommen falls into a depression, refusing to eat.

text: Season 6[edit]

text: Tommen confines Cersei to the Red Keep after her release, in order to protect her from the Faith Militant. However, Tommen is eventually manipulated by the High Sparrow to forge an alliance with the Faith. He also abolishes trial by combat, replacing it with trial by the Seven. Rather than attend her trial, Cersei detonates a cache of wildfire beneath the Sept of Baelor, killing the High Sparrow and Margaery in the explosion. Tommen is barred in his quarters by Ser Gregor Clegane and witnesses the explosion from his window. After a servant informs him of Margaery's death, he commits suicide by jumping from the Red Keep. Cersei orders him cremated and assumes his title as ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.

text:
a The Giants were due to play against the Boston Americans, champions of the American League, but boycotted the series. John McGraw, then Giants manager, claimed the AL was inferior and any series would be unnecessary.[41]
b Does not include postseason games prior to 1903 — the beginning of the modern World Series era — as these were considered exhibition games.[7]
