Reconciliation Day is a public holiday in South Africa held annually on December 16. The holiday came into force in 1994, after the end of apartheid, with the intention of promoting reconciliation and national unity of the country.

When apartheid ended, it was decided to keep December 16 as a public holiday, but to infuse it "with the aim of promoting reconciliation and national unity." The celebration was created by the government in 1994. Nelson Mandela was part of the group of politicians who helped start the holiday idea. On December 16, 1995, the first celebration took place. The first meeting of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission was also held on December 16, 1995. In a speech in 1995, Archbishop Desmond Tutu described the holiday as intended for the need to heal the wounds of apartheid.

4. In 1850, what was the most direct route from Independence, Missouri, to San Francisco,
Molodets [167]

Answer:

In 1850, the most direct route from Independence, Missouri, to San Francisco,  California, was the Oregon Trail.

Explanation:

The Oregon Trail is a historic road built in the 1830s, about 3200 km long. The road connected the Missouri River Valley with the valleys in the modern state of Oregon, and was suitable for moving carts. This is the oldest road connecting the Great Plains with the western United States. The Oregon Trail played a huge role in the development of the Wild West.

The emergence of the Oregon Trail was part of the natural process of US expansion to the west. After gaining independence, the search and construction of roads connecting the independent states with the Northwest Territory, which was not yet part of the United States, began. Then they went further west in Missouri and Iowa. At the same time, shipping was established along the Mississippi and its tributaries, which helped to populate the Great Plains. Along the rivers appeared cities that became the starting points on the Oregon Trail, and ships could easily deliver goods to these cities. By the beginning of the mass migration to the west, however, most of the land along which the Oregon Trail passed was still uninhabited and less civilized.  

The Oregon Trail began on the Missouri River, crossed the Rocky Mountains and led to the Pacific coast, which was known as Oregon and had no defined boundaries. After the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869, the Oregon Trail lost its former significance, being occasionally used until the end of the 19th century.
