History

<em>Common Sense by Thomas Paine.</em>

Explanation:

Thomas Paine was a very prominent figure during this time, he encouraged many people to stand up against Great Britain and want independence because of his literary works, primarily Common Sense.

Before Paine became a writer, he failed at almost everything he tried. He dropped out of school and lost many jobs, then he met Benjamin Franklin who encouraged Paine and gave him hope. He eventually moved to the colonies and became a magazine editor, but after the Battle of Lexington, he became very passionate about the colonies declaring their independence from Great Britain.

Common Sense was very long, but was easily worded and revolved around "facts and common sense", that made many people care to read it. It talked about how the colonies need to wake up and have their independence, as they were not being treated fairly by Great Britain. Common Sense sold a ton of copies and many people credit it for inspiring the colonists for supporting their own independence.

explain the effects of the changing role of tourism in Florida's development and growth (1890–1930), the land boom and bust (192
sattari [20]
Well I live in Florida so; I can explain tourism has always had a large role in our history. During our development, tourism gave us the much needed boost in economy that we needed to get on our feet. People coming from all over to enjoy the oranges and warm sun and beaches was a large source of income for people all over. More people to boy products = a larger income. The 'boom and bust' is what im guessing was the time right before the stock market crashed. Americans were richer then ever, they took more vacations, they generally thought of themselves having a brighter economic future, which caused more spending, more vacations, more extravagance. This made Florida truly flourish for a time, becoming a hotspot for wealthy vacation homes. The Great Depression almost killed us.. many buisness owners had come to depend on tourism to make a living wage, but since the great depression loomed over everyone, no one took vacations. No one had extra money to spend. Many of those wealthy vacation homes went into foreclosure. The Floridian Economy tanked during this time, so bad we even feel ripple effects of it today, even though we have built up so much more.

Why did antebellum Southerners call cotton "King?"
zaharov [31]
The most commonly used phrase describing the growth of the American economy in the 1830s and 1840s was “Cotton<span> Is </span>King<span>.” We think of this slogan today as describing the plantation economy of the slavery states in the Deep South, which led to the creation of “the second Middle Passage.”

When it was founded, the primary goal of Al-Qaeda was to do what?
Kamila [148]

The correct answer is remove all western ideas from nations who were muslim

The Al-Qaeda group emerged in 1988, in Afghanistan, as a Salafist organization, led by Saudi Osama Bin-Laden.

In the 1990s, the group would adopt strong anti-American and anti-Western rhetoric and be responsible for several attacks around the world, including the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.

Al Qaeda members' ideology comes from salfism.

Salafism was a Sunni Islamic movement that emerged in Cairo, Egypt, in the late 19th century.

Its aim was to reform Islam for the 20th century, after the intense contact that this religion had with the western world. Thus, he preached the return to the origin, with a more rigorous reading of the Al-Koran, the foundation of the Islamic faith. For this reason, they are also called fundamentalists.

The movement spread throughout the Islamic world and won over several people like Muhammad ibn al-Wahhab'Abd, who advocated a rigorous reading of the Muslim holy book and even helped to found the Saudi Kingdom of Arabia.

Likewise, there are currents that defend political Islam and others that prefer to remain on the sidelines of politics, as occurs in Western politics. Finally, there are those who believe that jihad, in its form of holy war, is a legitimate way to spread Islam around the world.
