History

The correct answer is - protection of the cargo.

The wicker fence on the ships of the Phoenicians had the purpose to protect the cargo. Since the sea waters are not always calm, and very often, out of nowhere, a storm can emerge and contribute to bigger waves, as well as rocking of the ship itself, the Phoenicians invented a simple trick, and that was the wicker fence. With it on place, the cargo was safe on the boat, and it was not able to slip away and be lost in the sea.

Answer is 10%. 

About 270 million acres of public land was given away for free to Homesteaders, people seeking to settle out west under the Homestead Act. This constituted about 10% of the US. The first of the acts was passed in 1862, and the second in 1866.

How did Hitler react when Jesse Owens won the 100 meter race?
Naddik [55]

Hitler left the stadium before the medals were awarded. The 100 meter race was the first of Owens' four medals. It shocked Hitler: his Aryan supremacy myth was in tatters. The only thing worse that could have happened was a Jew winning that first race. He likely didn't want to shake Owens' hand.

Actually Owens was not scheduled to race in the 400 meter relay. It came about only because the American Olympic Committee didn't want to cause an international uproar by allowing 2 Jews to run in the 400. So they replaced both with Owens and Metcalf (who took home a slug of metals himself).

I'm not sure if it is still on Netflix, but a docudrama of the event was made called RACE.
