The Homestead Act (1862) granted land for former African slaves in Western U.S.
Also, they were not "African Americans". They were freed, but many were not Americans yet. They were Africans :)
Hope this helped.
The correct answer is C. the number of inland freshwater swamps around the coast. During the 1730´s, when the colony of Georgia was established, the cultivation of rice was in a high level in South Carolina. After many Georgians saw the benefits of slave work in rice plantations was profitable. Another important fact is the amount of rivers that Georgia has, which was linked to the freshwater swamps on the coast. Serious rice production was developed in the freshwater swamps and along the main tidal rivers, such as the Ogeechee, Savannah River, Altamaha, St. Mary’s and the Satilla. Since wet rice was more demanding to cultivate than any other kind, rice plantations started moving inland as a result of the development in agriculture such as irrigation systems, levees, ditches, culverts, and other constructions.
Answer: The poem "Shoulders," by Naomi Shihab Nye reflects on our lives today.
Explanation: In the poem, Nye tells us about a man crossing a street in the rain with a young child he is carrying.He must use caution crossing the street. He must caution to avoid the raindrops, all the while looking, listening and caring for the child he is carrying. The symbolism of course is, that we are that person carrying the child, and it is our responsibility to do all we can to care for, nurture and protect that child because our society is such today that there are many raindrops, puddles and speeding autos we need to avoid, not in the literal sense but certainly figuratively. In this time of pandemic, the message could not be clearer-we need to care for one another. We need to take care of one another, because we are all in this together.
The correct option is D.
Thomas Edison was an American investor and business man and he had been described as the American greatest inventor, because during his life time he accumulated 1,093 patents. He is the brain behind many devices which had radically changed the way people live their lives today. The devices invented by him include: phonograph, light bubs, moving pictures, electrographic vote recorder, the carbon telephone transmitter, etc.
He was good for some Romans, but bad for others. The optimates who opposed him in the Civil Wars certainly held a negative view. The people generally loved him, but he made too many powerful enemies in the Senate. Caesar was a great general and an inspirational leader, but he proved to be a very naive politician.
