(1) Originally from Japan, kudzu is a vining plant first planted in the United States in the nineteenth century by southern farm

ers looking for a fast-growing plant that cattle and other livestock could graze. Kudzu hay has a high nutritional content compared to other types of forage. Unfortunately, the
nutritional quality decreases as vine content increases relative to the leaf content. Unlike alfalfa hay, which grows like a grass, kudzu is hard to bale due to its vining growth and tendency to absorb rain.

(2) The climate of the Southeastern U.S. is perfect for growing kudzu. The vines grow as much as a foot a day during summer months, climbing trees, power poles, and anything else they contact. Under ideal conditions kudzu vines can grow 60 feet each year. Southerners joke that if you don’t close your windows at night, it’ll climb inside the house. In Japan, kudzu is kept in check by insects, but it has no natural enemies in the U.S.

(3) While they help prevent erosion, the vines can also destroy valuable forests by climbing trees and preventing them from getting sunlight. This problem has led researchers to find methods for killing kudzu. After years of research, they found that one herbicide actually makes kudzu grow better while many have little effect. Even with the most effective herbicides, it takes many years to kill the plants.

(4) Today, kudzu covers more than seven million acres of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina.

Which of the following best describes the racial divisions in the North after suburbanization in the 1950's?
lesya [120]

The correct answer is "A".

The "Great Migration" was the massive relocation of African Americans to territories up North, Midwest, and West which occurred from 1916 to 1970. During this period, African Americans who relocated into urban areas in the north were subject to constant violent acts from the White community, as there was still an inherent sentiment of segregation among the citizens of the country. This prompted African Americans to establish in suburbs in the outskirts of the urban areas during the 1950s.

What was the bank run 1930 and what are some of the reasons it happened? What were the effects of the bank crisis in the U.S on
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The bank run occurred because the stock market crashed and investors wanted immediate access to their liquid cash. This was not possible because many banks had invested heavily in the stock market and were not required to keep large sums of money on hand. Nor were the deposits of investors insured, so much of the liquid cash was gone. This situation led to great instability in domestic and international markets

Explanation: The Great Depression witnessed the collapse of the capitalist system as we know it.
