In 1947, Congress created the Basic and Southern Florida Flood Control Project, which produced 1,400 miles (2,300 km) of canals, levees, and water control devices. The Miami metropolitan area increased considerably at this time and Everglades water was diverted to cities. Portions of the Everglades were modified into farmland, where the original crop was sugarcane. Almost 50 percent of the original Everglades has been revealed as agricultural or urban areas.

alex41 [277]

Hi! Florida was obtained by Britain by treaty with Spain after victory in war. In 1762, during the Seven Years' War, a British expedition attacked and occupied Havana, the capital of Cuba. To secure the return of this valuable city, Spain agreed to cede its territory of La Florida to the victorious Great Britain under the 1763 Treaty of Paris. I hope this helps you! Good luck and have a great day/night. ❤️✨

In the context of the text, how has America changed over time? How does the United States' economy of the

mote1985 [20]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include the text. Without the text, we do not know what you are referring to.

However, we can help you by answering in the following general terms.

Yes, America has changed over time in many aspects. Unfortunately in others, not so much.

American society has changed in many ways since the English people arrived at Jamestown, Virginia, and founded the first colony in the North American territory. Then during American colonial times, the disputes with the Native American tribes marked the different approaches to the life of white American people and Native American Indians. So radically different.

Then, it came to the issue of slavery and racism. After the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln freed the slaves in the southern territories. ut as we know, even after the Union´s victory in the Civil War, Reconstruction was so different in the South. Southern people did the opposite and created legislation such as the Jim Crow laws and the black codes, that suppressed rights for the African Americans.

Then, it came the time of the 19th amendment and the right to a vote for women.

After two world wars and the Great Depression, the United States became one of the most powerful countries in the world. However, domestic issues continued. The issue of civil rights for African Americans and other minorities split the north and south again after so many years of differences.

Today, as we have witnessed recently, racism is still a big issue in America. Furthermore, political adversaries have increased the division between political ideologies in the country.
