Answer: He was a hero

Explanation:  Franklin firmly endorsed the idea that Britain should relax its control over the American colonies and allow settlers a greater role in running their own businesses.

In 1774 he went to England to petition King George III (1738-1820) in favor of the colonists and the newly formed Continental Congress. The king and the House of Lords rejected the petition, and by the time Franklin returned to Philadelphia, the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) had already begun.

After his election to the Second Continental Congress, Franklin organized the postal service, becoming its chief, and helped Thomas Jefferson write the Declaration of Independence, signed July 4, 1776. That same year, Franklin was chosen as ambassador. American in France and, while in office, managed to convince the French government to support the American cause with weapons and supplies.

In three to five sentences, explain how industry led to and supported urbanization. Help please!
german

Industrialization has historically led to urbanization by creating economic growth and job opportunities that draw people to cities. Urbanization typically begins when a factory or multiple factories are established within a region, thus creating a high demand for factory labor. Other businesses such as building manufacturers, retailers, and service providers then follow the factories to meet the product demands of the workers. This creates even more jobs and demands for housing, thus establishing an urban area.

In the modern era, manufacturing facilities like factories are often replaced by technology-industry hubs. These technological hubs draw workers from other areas in the same way factories used to, contributing to urbanization.

Urbanization Occurs Near Bodies of Water

Throughout the history of human civilization, urbanization patterns have been the strongest near large bodies of water. Initially, this was just to meet the water and food needs of large populations. However, since the Industrial Revolution, the trend of urbanization along waterways has continued because large bodies of water are needed to sustain the industry. Not only do many businesses require large quantities of water to manufacture products, but they also depend on oceans and rivers for the transportation of goods. This is partially why 75% of the world’s largest urban areas are in coastal regions.1

Urbanization Continues After Industrialization Occurs

As industrialization creates economic growth, the demand for improved education and public works agencies that are characteristic of urban areas increases. This demand occurs because businesses looking for new technology to increase productivity require an educated workforce, and pleasant living conditions attract skilled workers to the area.

Once an area is industrialized, the process of urbanization continues for a much longer period of time as the area goes through several phases of economic and social reform. This concept is best illustrated by comparing a city such as Bangkok, located in a lesser-developed country, with an American city such as Los Angeles and a European city such as Berlin. Each city has a progressively higher level of social, environmental and economic prosperity achieved through increased education, government intervention, and social reform.

What are the positive and negative effects of the Intercoastal Highway, which connects ports in Brazil and Peru? Write a paragra
LiRa [457]

The Intercoastal Highway in South America is a highway that connects the western and the eastern coast of the continent, running through the countries of Peru and Brazil. The big positive of this highway is that it is connecting the eastern and western part of the continent, enabling for easier transportation of goods, and easier movement of people, which is of great economic benefit for everyone involved. On the other hand, there are also negatives, with the two biggest being the destruction of lot of tropical rainforest, and deaths of animals. In order for this highway to be built, enormous amount of trees and other vegetation have been cut down, which is always a problem. Also, the wild animals are not used to a highway running through their habitat, so they do not know how to react, very often being run over by the vehicles passing through.
