Explanation:

The Clear Water Act or Federal Water Pollution Act (FWPA) was passed in 1972 to prevent and limit the pollution of rivers and streams and to protect the water bodies from fire. It is known as the first  and the most influential environmental law of America. But before 1972, as such there was no effective law regarding the protection of rivers and streams  thats why Cuyahoga River got polluted and caught fire repeatedly from 1868-1969 and cause the damage of $1.5 million.

Which of the following describes the great migration of the 1900's
densk [106]

I have no clue of "which of the following" because i cannot see the answers but,

The Great Migration, or the relocation of more than 6 million African Americans from the rural South to the cities of the North, Midwest and West from 1916 to 1970, had a huge impact on urban life in the United States. Driven from their homes by unsatisfactory economic opportunities and harsh segregationist laws, many blacks headed north, where they took advantage of the need for industrial workers that first arose during the First World War. As Chicago, New York and other cities saw their black populations expand exponentially, migrants were forced to deal with poor working conditions and competition for living space, as well as widespread racism and prejudice. During the Great Migration, African Americans began to build a new place for themselves in public life, actively confronting economic, political and social challenges and creating a new black urban culture that would exert enormous influence in the decades to come.

Why was dividing Lee's army such a gamble?
dlinn [17]

The correct answers are: 2) He had so few men compared to the Union forces; 4) The enemy outnumbered him many times over.

In The Battle of Chancellorsville (1861-1865), Lee's army of 60,000 men faced an Union Army that doubled them in size. Lee decided to divide his army even when that meant a higher risk in losing, given the difference in numbers between said armies. Lee's right hand, Jackson, died of pneumonia on the battlefield. Even with these many things happening to his army, Lee won the battle.
