Answer:

the answer is option D

Explanation: Journalists called Alaska purchase of 1867 as Seward's Folly because they viewed Alaska as a remote,snowbound , barren territory. Alaska was purchased by the secretary of state William Seward with 7.2 million $. But some criticized it as Seward's Folly which means Seward's icebox. Primarily this land was covered by ice and it wasn't fertile. So before discovering the gold in 1890 they thought this land just as a icebox of Seward.

Explain how Eleanor Roosevelt influenced FDR and the role of First Lady.
VashaNatasha [74]

Eleanor Roosevelt changed the role of the First Lady by being involved and  actively participating in American politics. Throughout her time as the First Lady, she volunteered to help immigrants learn how to read and she joined a woman's group to learn about issues when women gained the right to vote. She became a key voice in the White House for woman's rights and demonstrated this by giving woman positions in the administration. She also improved the plight for the unemployed, while also addressing the concerns for Youth by creating organizations/projects such as the NYA and PWAP. After FDRs death, Truman took office and he gave Eleanor Roosevelt the position of delegate. She supported the United Nations through this role. Throughout her position of being the first delegate, she left a major impact on Human Rights. During Roosevelts New Deal operation, she made sure that groups of minorities and womans rights would benefit from these government programs. Overall, she gave a voice to those who didn't have the ability to have one. At the time, she took that role for the people to improve not only Womans rights, but humans rights leaving a huge impact on the role of the First Lady.

8. What was an important effect of
Fiesta28 [93]

The Feudal system that had previously dominated Europe begins to collapse.

Considered divine punishment, the Black Death (bubonic plague) was one of the largest epidemics that plagued mankind.

In early 1330 the first outbreak of the bubonic plague happened in China. Plague mainly affects rodents, but their fleas can transmit the disease to people. Once infected, the infection to other people occurs extremely quickly. The plague causes fever and a painful swelling of the lymphatic glands called bulbs, hence its name. The disease can also cause blemishes on the skin that first have a reddish color and then turn black.
