Answer:
D. His support for the early Civil Rights Movement
Explanation:
William B. Hartsfield was born on March 1, 1890, and later served as Atlanta's longest serving mayor from 1937-1961(served for six terms).
In his cause to make Atlanta a model city, he supported the early Civil Rights movement and was most famous for his work towards achieving racial equality. Thus, race relations in Atlanta were more progressive than in other southern cities. He was later credited with the slogan "Atlanta is the city too busy to hate".
Hartsfield also helped to desegregate Atlanta's schools. The city was viewed as a modern city and attracted other businesses to relocate to the state of Georgia.
<span>The harsh climate pushed the early Egyptian tribes toward the Nile River Valley, where the long, strong river kept the surrounding areas lush and green through regular flooding. This allowed the civilization to thrive even in the hot, dry desert. Egyptian culture and daily life revolved around the river because it brought the different seasons. The Nile also has a high place in Egyptian mythology and belief. In addition, the flow of the river determined how their trade routes were set up.The stones available in the land determined what kind of buildings the people were able to build, and the abundance of stones to mine led to the many monuments left behind thousands of years later. Without the solid stone available, such things as the pyramids would not have been possible. Egypt is historically known for the enslavement of Hebrews which aided in the expansion in the empire by providing free manual labor. The climate was harsh and the Nile broken up by dangerous rapids, keeping many invading forces out. This allowed the civilization to thrive for thousands of years with minimal examples of being taken over.</span>
