The law that allowed Theodore Roosevelt to set aside federal land for conservation was the Conservation Act.

Conservationists, led by President Theodore Roosevelt and his close ally Gifford Pinchot, pointed out that the majority of natural resources in Western countries should belong to the federal government and the best course of action, they argued, was a long-term plan devised by national experts to maximize the long-term economic benefits of natural resources.

This law, sanctioned by Congress and signed by President Roosevelt on June 8, 1906, conferred on the President of the United States the authority to restrict the private use of public lands owned by the federal government by executive order, without requiring the Congress supervision.

The law was intended to allow the President to reserve certain valuable natural public areas such as parks and protected lands. These areas had the title of "national monuments". It also gave him the power to reserve or accept private lands for that purpose. The objective was to protect all historical and prehistoric sites on federal lands of the United States and to prohibit the destruction or excavation of these antiquities. With this law, this could be done more quickly than by managing the process for the creation of a national park before Congress. The law established that the zones to declare monuments were limited to being the smallest surface compatible with the good care and handling of the objects that had to be protected.

Some areas designated as national monuments were later converted into national parks, or incorporated into existing national parks.

Answer:

Slavery was so profitable, it sprouted more millionaires per capita in the Mississippi River valley than anywhere in the nation. With cash crops of tobacco, cotton and sugar cane, America's southern states became the economic engine of the burgeoning nation. Their fuel of choice? Human slavery. Under the law, an enslaved person was treated as property and could be bought, sold, or given away. Slavery lasted in about half of U.S. states until 1865. As an economic system, slavery was largely replaced by sharecropping and convict leasing.

Slavery had been practiced in British America from early colonial days, and was legal in all thirteen colonies at the time those colonies formed the United States. Under the law, an enslaved person was treated as property and could be bought, sold, or given away. Slavery lasted in about half of U.S. states until 1865.The first 19 or so Africans to reach the British colonies arrived in Point Comfort, Virginia, near Jamestown, in 1619, brought by British privateers who had seized them from a captured Portuguese slave ship. Slaves were usually baptized in Africa before embarking.

Just one month after writing this letter, Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which announced that at the beginning of 1863, he would use his war powers to free all slaves in states still in rebellion as they came under Union control.

From May 10 to June 22, 1940, a German attack was carried out on France and the Benelux countries. The period from July 10 to October 31, 1940, saw a German attack on Britain. It was an attack in which the Germans caused the bombing of England by planes. The attack on Russia, also known as Operation Barbarossa, lasted from June 22 to early December 1941. It was a failed Hitler attack on the Soviet Union in which the Germans primarily failed because of the winter.
