Manifest Destiny was a philosophy that considered the United States was divinely ordained, justifiable and inevitable to expand its borders.
This philosophy encouraged the convergence of social, economic, and political factors helped urge the speed of westward expansion in the 19th century. With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 people were driven to the west, white settlers and proponents of expansion began to voice concerns over what they considered an obstacle to settlement - The American Indian tribes that lived there -. White settlers considered the lands east of the Mississippi River a great place to raise cattle, wheat, and cotton.
The convergence of Manifest Destiny and the need to expand was used to rationalize the removal of American Indians from their native homelands. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed into law and authorized the president to reserve land west of the Mississippi River and exchange it for Native American land to the east of the Mississippi.
Christopher Columbus is known in the United States of America to be the founder of the Americas. We celebrate him in October but, in fact, he did not go onto the mainland (United States) until his third voyage in 1498. He also was not the earliest European explorer to reach the Americas, as there are accounts of European transatlantic contact prior to 1492. In fact, Scandinavian Vikings already had settlements in the Americas in the eleventh century, and British fishermen probably fished the shores of Canada for decades before Columbus. His voyage is more famous because of his nationalism and the economic competition. Columbus was in the right place at the right time and had the most power.
Columbus did not do anything that others did not already do before him. The earth was already proved to be round. The Egyptian-Greek scientist Erastosthenes, already had measured the circumference and diameter of the world in the third century B.C. Arab scientists had developed a whole discipline of geography and measurement, and in the tenth century A.D., Al Maqdisi described the earth with 360 degrees of longitude and 180 degrees of latitude. The Monastery of St. Catherine in the Sinai still has an icon — painted 500 years before Columbus — which shows Jesus ruling over a spherical earth. And as said above, Scandinavian Vikings already had settlements in the Americas in the eleventh century, and British fishermen probably fished the shores of Canada for decades before Columbus.
Columbus was very greedy; he voyaged for three things, “Gold, Glory and God”. In his search for gold he killed many people and almost wiped out an entire civilization by himself. He did this for many reasons. One of course was for personal gain and the other was for Spain. If he did not get gold for Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand they would not finance Columbus’ trip. Columbus had to pay the Queen and King back and he would do anything to do that. This need to repay his debt can be found in Columbus’ diaries as he raced from one Caribbean island to the next, stealing anything of value and killing or capturing Native Americans.
Columbus did many bad things to the natives and he killed almost all of them. He forced them to find gold where there was none, and if they did not find any Columbus would kill them. Columbus also forced the natives to become slaves, most of the natives died on their way to Spain. Columbus and his men threw the native’s corpses over the side of the boat and into the ocean. The natives that did not become slaves worked on plantations or mines where they too would die from the hard working conditions. The natives did nothing to deserve these harsh conditions; they greeted the Europeans to their land with open arms.
Christopher Columbus is very influential in our culture. We celebrate him and his accomplishments on Columbus Day. In fact, the United States honors only two men holidays bearing their names, Christopher Columbus and Martin Luther King, Jr. In January we commemorate the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr., who tried to stop racial prejudice and relinquish the remaining bonds of slavery in America, and in October, we honor Christopher Columbus, who opened the Atlantic slave trade and launched one of the greatest waves of genocide known in history.
Its pretty long haha but i hope that helps
"<span>a. a federal law ending segregation in the U.S." would be the best option, since this was the event that contained Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" Speech. </span>
Answer:
Universal Basic Income (UBI) has come up recently as a talking point, as many large manufacturing businesses are moving away from the usage of humans to using automated machines, which require less (such as wages, work hours, work conditions, etc.) for more (output and production). As these jobs are being relegated away to machines, there would be a smaller quantity of jobs in the market, almost ensuring that many people would be out of jobs or even competitive businesses, for those who cannot afford to make the change. UBI was created in a sense to solve this problem, as it provides just enough money to each family for them to be able to survive, and if there are no open jobs, to live at least comfortably.
The extent that the government should provide the UBI entirely depends on the businesses, and also the government itself. Firstly, businesses can choose whether or not they would relegate their human jobs to robots. These companies may receive backlash from the general public, especially when job proportions dip heavily lower then the population size. However, they would be able to manufacture more, higher-quality, and essentially make more profit off of the machines. The second part of the UBI is the government itself. The UBI is rather taxing on the government's budget, for it must be proportionalized by not only the intake of funding, but also the regulation of the funding to certain spending areas. A higher percentile of people relying heavily on the UBI would force the government in many cases to drop amount of benefits, as the funding may not be there.
In essence, the best way for the government to provide Universal Basic Income is too, in fact, not provide it at all. The government must be able to balance automated jobs with jobs that can be done with humans, while relegating enough funds to companies to allow them to make enough of a profit to keep their production factories within the United States. Essentially, Politics would play a heavy role in regulating the rise of the machines, as other countries may be forced into keeping their traditional jobs instead of creating automated jobs, or even have their jobs taken away that were before provided by US companies in an effort to give the US citizens enough job openings. However, in a real life scenario, this is not ideal, and in the waning age of the usage of humans, the failure to create a functioning system in hopes to help the ordinary citizen to survive would be ever pressing indeed. If ever the government should provide Universal Basic Income, they will have to work closely with companies residing in the US, and to balance the industrial rights of the companies to expand and technologically advance, with the rights of the citizens and their right to survive.
Answer:
a. crops are grown year round
c. cold and dry climate
d. products are produced in every region
Explanation:
Georgia is a leader in agriculture because the environment is suitable for the growing of crops. Georgia experience both cold and dry climate due to which many crops can be grown there. There is also a suitable amount of precipitation occurs in Georgia which is enough for water needs of the cultivated crop. Georgia produced a large amount of agriculture crops due to availability of fertile soil and no land should be remain barren or useless.
