With the rise of a Nuclear Soviet State, the United States was auditing it's own internal defense capabilities.

One critical point was the size of the United States and the time it could take to move forces from one point to another in times of war and emergency.

Even within the United States, there was a rise in communist parties which were slowly becoming a threat.

The Interstate highway act not only produced economic benefits to stop the rise of communism in the United States, but also provided nation-wide infrastructure to smoothly and quickly move forces across the country.

What was a factor in virginia colonists decision to use slave labor

lana [24]

Well, the colonists needed someone to do the work. Originally they had indentured servants, who would work for so many years to obtain their freedom. Then the colonists tried to enslave the Native Americans and that didn't work because the Native Americans knew the land and escaped. So, they decided to import blacks from Africa who weren't familiar with the land to do the hard labor for them. On top of that some of the white slave owners did not have the obligation to pay them for their labor. Hopefully, this helps.
