Answer 1

Answer:

The history of the state of Mississippi extends back to thousands of years of indigenous peoples. Evidence of their cultures has been found largely through archeological excavations, as well as existing remains of earthwork mounds built thousands of years ago. Native American traditions were kept through oral histories; with Europeans recording the accounts of historic peoples they encountered. Since the late 20th century, there have been increased studies of the Native American tribes and reliance on their oral histories to document their cultures. Their accounts have been correlated with evidence of natural events.

The first Colonizers to occupy the area of the present-day state were French colonists, followed later by Spanish and English colonists, particularly along the Gulf Coast. Euro-Americans did not enter the territory in great number until the early 19th century. Some early settlers would bring many enslaved Africans with them to serve as laborers to develop cotton plantations along major riverfronts. In 1817, Mississippi became a state of the United States. Through the 1830s, the federal government forced most of the native Choctaw and Chickasaw people west of the Mississippi River. White planters developed an economy based on the export of cotton produced by slave labor along the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers. A small elite group of planters controlled most of the richest land, the wealth, and politics of the state, which led to Mississippi seceding from the Union in 1861. During the Civil War, its river cities particularly were sites of extended battles and widespread destruction.

The bottomlands of the Mississippi Delta were still 90% undeveloped after the Civil War. Thousands of migrants, both black and white, entered this area for a chance at land ownership. They sold timber while clearing land to raise money for purchases. During the Reconstruction era, many freedmen became owners of farms in these areas, and by 1900, composed two-thirds of the property owners in the Mississippi Delta. White Democrats regained control of the state legislature in the late 19th century, and in 1890, passed a disfranchising constitution, resulting in the exclusion of African Americans from political life until the mid-1960s. Most African Americans lost their lands due to disenfranchisement, segregation, financial crises, and an extended decline in cotton prices. By 1920, most African Americans were landless sharecroppers and tenant farmers. However in the 1930s, some blacks acquired land under low-interest loans from New Deal programs; in 1960 Holmes County still had 800 black farmers, the most of any county in the state. The state continued to rely mostly on agriculture and timber into the 20th century, but mechanization and acquisition of properties by megafarms would change the face of the labor market and economy.

During the early through mid-20th century, the two waves of the Great Migration led to hundreds of thousands of rural blacks leaving the state. As a result, by the 1930s, African Americans were a minority of the state population for the first time since the early 19th century. They would remain a majority of the population in many Delta counties. Mississippi also had numerous sites of activism related to the Civil Rights Movement, as African Americans sought to re-establish their constitutional rights for access to public facilities, including all state universities, and the ability to register, vote, and run for office.

In the 21st century, Mississippi has expanded its medical and professional communities in cities such as Jackson, the state capital. The state legislature approved gaming casinos on riverboats on the Mississippi River and along the Gulf Coast, which has led to increases in tourism in these areas, helping generate revenues for the state.

What was the purpose of the Lend-Lease Act?
A
Congress passed it as part of the formal end of United States neutrality in World War II.
B
It was intended to secure military bases in Europe in case the United States went to war with the Soviet Union.
C
It allowed President Roosevelt and pro-war members of Congress to support the Allies without formally joining World War II.
D
It was intended to warn the Japanese that any attempts to attack Hawaii would be responded to with overwhelming force.​

Answers

The Lend-Lease Act stated that the U.S. government could lend or lease (rather than sell) war supplies to any nation deemed “vital to the defense of the United States.” Under this policy, the United States was able to supply military aid to its foreign allies during World War II while still remaining officially neutral in the conflict. Most importantly, passage of the Lend-Lease Act enabled a struggling Great Britain to continue fighting against Germany virtually on its own until the United States entered World War II late in 1941.

 

The Lend-Lease Policy

Lend-Lease, as Roosevelt’s plan became known, ran into strong opposition among isolationist members of Congress, as well as those who believed the policy gave the president himself too much power. During the debate over the bill, which continued for two months, Roosevelt’s administration and supporters in Congress argued convincingly that providing aid to allies like Great Britain was a military necessity for the United States.

In March 1941, Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act (subtitled “An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States”) and Roosevelt signed it into law.

The Transcontinental Railroad

The transcontinental railroad was built by the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroad Companies. Construction began in 1863. The two companies started on opposite ends of the country and built toward each other for seven years. During that time, both companies overcame many struggles. There were weather delays, and holes had to be cut through mountains. When finished, the railroad was 1,912 miles long and connected the country from coast to coast. Transporting passengers and goods was faster, easier, and less expensive by train.

Use the passage to answer the question.


Which conclusion does this text support?

A. Building the railroad was a difficult process.
B. People preferred riding in wagons to riding by train.
C. The railroad workers enjoyed building the railroad.
D. Building the railroad was an easy process.

At the heart of Communist ideology is the idea that wealth should be distributed equally among all people. In theory, the redistribution of wealth would reduce large gaps between the rich and the poor. The Soviets used the state-run command economy to reduce the economic gap. However, this method failed to provide a stable economy and, along with huge military spending, was the major cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union. But in capitalist economies the gap between rich and poor still exists, and in some places the gap is widening. Should capitalist countries try to narrow the income gap? Why or why not? What kinds of policies do you think would work? What are some of the effects of poverty? Can you see evidence of the income gap in your community?

Explanation:

Population growth is very vital for countries despite having a population is still a strength on its own for major countries. But it has a lot for disadvantages when there is no proper plan on how to manage this population.

Countries should try limiting population growth in order to avoid poverty from looming all over the state, when you have excess population without much jobs or opportunities, it creates room for poverty to cripple the economy and lead to death of citizen from hunger.

They are really no consequences of limiting growth as much as there is more than not limiting growth, the only disadvantage is that it limits the individuals choice in having more children
