Before, trains, cars, airplanes and trucks existed, rivers were used for travel. They carried people and goods. However, this way of transportation was very slow. All that changed with the arrival of the steamboat in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The steamboat could travel at the amazing speed of 5 miles per hour. It soon changed all over river travel and trade and dominated the waterways.

e-lub [12.9K]
They were advocating gender equality. They believed that women should have equal rights as men and they wanted for women to have the right to vote and to own property and not be treated as if they belonged to their husbands. This was based on the fact that African-Americans won their fight for their rights so women should too.

What were the factors that led to the 2008 collapse of the U.S. auto industry? What were the steps taken by the federal governme
Bas_tet [7]
1. The main factors were because of fuels. Because of an energy crisis up until 2008, the fuel prices skyrocketed which meant that sustainable cars became a priority for buyers. The big three american manufacturers didn't make such vehicles as  the US was always a great market for SUVs and other powerful and large cars and sales started to drop and they started losing huge amounts of money because people started buying vehicles that had better fuel consumption or didn't buy at all.

2. At first the government supported the unions who managed to win some and lose some in a series of compromises with company owners. In the end, the government had to give a huge amount of money to the big 3 in order to bail them out since they were almost filing for bankruptcy.

3. The advice would be to start supporting sustainable green cars that are electric powered or biofuel powered and not just make huge SUVs powered by oil. The crisis never would've happened if it had been that way from the beginning.
