Answer:
To arrest people who were thought to be radicals
Explanation:
The Palmer raids occurred in 1919 and 1920 during the first Red Scare. They were conducted in order to arrest radical leftists and were usually against Italian and Eastern European immigrants. These were most aggressive against anarchists and communists and resulted in their deportation. This paved the road for later ethnic and racial deportations.
The Great Plains referred to here is the wide, flat expanse area of land between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. It was the Homestead Act of 1862 that settled the problems concerning property ownership. The Act states that a transfer of 160 acres of land will be transferred to each homesteader provided that they pay a nominal fee after 5 years of residence.

It’s the idea that an action is not justified by the number of people doing it. There were plenty of Nazis. This idiom reminds you that people are fallible. They have faulty filters with which they view the world. These faulty filters are often exasperated by group think. Most people never challenge their beliefs. They are the tiny dinghy in the big open sea, entirely at the influence of those around them. So instead of looking to others to find what’s true and right, look to first principles, and most importantly, think for yourself. Build yourself a moral compass and live your life with that compass guiding you, not the desires and lusts and greeds and fears and anxieties of others.
Emotions guide most people, not logic. That’s because they make decisions in the moment. They look around for guidance because they don’t really know. Don’t do this. Rather, build your compass when you are rational, logical, and non-reactive and then act with this in mind every day. Trust your compass above all else, because you chose it whilst in a logical state, and it will allow you to respond instead of react. This is of the utmost importance if you want to walk in the light regardless of the pushes and pulls and temptations of your environment.

One way in which commercial extraction of raw materials in Egypt was different from the commercial extraction of raw materials in the Amazon in the period 1750-1900, was the following.
The commercial extraction of raw materials in Egypt was basically the product of the British colonization efforts in that part of North Africa. Great Britain had several colonies in Africa, one of them being Egypt. More than colonizing the territory to help people to develop and grow, the reality was that the English monarchy just wanted to exploit those raw materials and natural resources. And exploit they did.
In the case of the Amazon forest, European nations such as Portugal did something similar but they instilled the concept of latifundium, wealthy people that owned the land and forced slaves to work, produce, and harvest the crops that were exported to be industrialized.
