Answer:

The town of Picher, Oklahoma was evacuated because it was declared uninhabitable because this town used to service some mines which made the environment harmful to people.

Explanation:

There were some subsurface excavations in this town which had bad effects on some town's buildings and at the same time these excavations produced mine tailings which were toxic metals that contaminated the area.

The state took some measures to reduce the contamination but in 1996 a study showed that 34% of the children in this town were suffering from lead poisoning because of the problems in the environment. Lead poisoning  could produce neurological problems.

Finally, On September 1, 2009, the town of Picher did not belong to the state of Oklahoma anymore and all the operations in this town were suspended.

What brought the American army to the brink of mutiny and a coup d’état in 1783?
Andrej [43]

Most of the American soldiers had not been paid in months and many of the promised pensions never came.

The American revoluntionary war was fought by a lot of paid militias who were being paid a good salary.

Once the war was coming to a close, these soldiers were not paid on time and many of the injured and veterans never got the pension funds they were promised.

Eventually, this was creating unease among the soldiers. There were even talks of a coup d'etat against the United States Congress. The event is also known as the Newburgh Conspiracy.

George Washington personally stepped in to ensure that the young democracy was derailed. He gave an emotional speech on the importance of the congress and eventually reached a settlement where paid some of the unsettled salaries and instead of offering half-pay pensions, settled on paying full salary for 5 years.
