Answer:

The War of 1812.

Explanation:

Francis Scott Key was inspired to write "The Star-Spangled Banner" by witnessing the British bombarding the Maryland fort during the War of 1812.   Key saw a lone U.S. flag still flying over Fort McHenry. As reflected in the lyrics of the anthem: "And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."

At first, it was conceived as a poem that was later published in newspapers and then set to the music of a popular English song called "To Anacreon in Heaven", composed by John Stafford Smith. After president Woodrow Wilson said it should be played at all official events in 1916, it was finally adopted as the national anthem on March 3, 1931.

Why was henry ford innovation important and how did it change everyday life for Americans?
otez555 [7]

The implementation of the assembly line by Henry Ford at his automobile plants was extremely important. It was important because it drastically reduced the amount of time it took to produce a Ford car. Since it took less time and effort to make the car, the price of Ford's dropped significantly. This drop in price made Ford cars more available to the American public, increasing the amount of people who owned cars in the US during the 1920's.

The development of the assembly line changed everyday life for Americans in multiple ways. First, traveling became much easier as cars were now available to more Americans. Along with this, the assembly line would be a method used by thousands of other companies all across the US. This made it so that workers would need to be able to complete one repeatable task throughout the entire day.

Has Racism really ended in the United States? Minimum of 2 paragraphs.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: Race and racial inequality have powerfully shaped American history from its beginnings.

Americans like to think of the founding of the American colonies and, later, the United States, as

driven by the quest for freedom – initially, religious liberty and later political and economic

liberty. Yet, from the start, American society was equally founded on brutal forms of

domination, inequality and oppression which involved the absolute denial of freedom for slaves.

This is one of the great paradoxes of American history – how could the ideals of equality and

freedom coexist with slavery? We live with the ramifications of that paradox even today.

denis-greek [22]
It was different because many people were facing difficult issues such as discrimination and many innocent lives were being taken as well as dictators ruling over and trying to end certain races and their existence also.
