History

Answer:

William Kamkwamba was Malawi, a country born in where magic ruled and modern science was mystery. It was also a land withered by drought and hunger, and a place where hope and opportunity were hard to find. But William had read about windmills in a book called Using Energy, and he dreamed of building one that would bring electricity and water to his village and change his life and the lives of those around him.

William had a goal to study science in Malawi's top boarding schools. But in 2002, his country was stricken with a famine that left his family's farm devastated and his parents destitute. Unable to pay the eighty-dollar-a-year tuition for his education, William was forced to drop out and help his family forage for food as thousands across the country starved and died.

Yet William refused to let go of his dreams. Using scrap metal, tractor parts, and bicycle halves, William forged a crude yet operable windmill.

Social: Manifest destiny is seen as a god given right to america at this point, each president that pushes it, believed and persuaded people into believing this. Reaching coast to coast is also a goal(Similar to like the moon landing) in its impact.

You can say that it is caused by the annexation of texas, mainly due to support for annexation began to form at this point. As well as their land disputes with britain, causing a rise in patriotism and the newly co'ined term 'manifest destiny'
