Spanish settlements in florida were at the heart of this reason for settlement
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Spanish Florida (Spanish: La Florida) was the first major European land claim and attempted settlement in North America during the European Age of Discovery. La Florida formed part of the Captaincy General of Cuba, the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and the Spanish Empire during Spanish colonization of the Americas. While its boundaries were never clearly or formally defined, the territory was much larger than the present-day state of Florida, extending over much of what is now the southeastern United States, including all of present-day Florida plus portions of Georgia,[1] Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina (see Fort San Juan), South Carolina,[2] and southeastern Louisiana. Spain's claim to this vast area was based on several wide-ranging expeditions mounted during the 16th century. A number of missions, settlements, and small forts existed in the 16th and to a lesser extent in the 17th century; eventually they were abandoned due to pressure from the expanding English and French colonial projects, the collapse of the native populations, and the general difficulty in becoming agriculturally or economically self-sufficient (which also affected some early English colonies). By the 18th century, Spain's control over La Florida did not extend much beyond its forts, all located in present-day Florida: near St. Augustine, St. Marks, and Pensacola.

PLEASE HELP Why were Robeson &amp; DuBois targeted during the Red Scare?
velikii [3]

Answer:

The Red Scare was hysteria over the perceived threat posed by Communists in the U.S. during the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, which intensified in the late 1940s and early 1950s. (Communists were often referred to as “Reds” for their allegiance to the red Soviet flag.) The Red Scare led to a range of actions that had a profound and enduring effect on U.S. government and society. Federal employees were analyzed to determine whether they were sufficiently loyal to the government, and the House Un-American Activities Committee, as well as U.S. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, investigated allegations of subversive elements in the government and the Hollywood film industry. The climate of fear and repression linked to the Red Scare finally began to ease by the late 1950s.

an explanation of the ways the groups within the Indian caste system interact or relate to one another
natka813 [3]

In the traditional Indian caste system, the people have been divided into multiple castes. Every caste was representing a certain level of hierarchy. The people born in one caste were destined to live in that caste until the end of their lives.

The communication between the castes was very obscure. Most of the communication was going on between members of the same caste, but rarely with members of other higher or lower caste. The members of the higher castes did not communicated with the members of the lower castes because they were looking at them as lower beings, so they did not wanted to have anything with them, and it was humiliating for them to communicate with someone that is lower in the hierarchy then them.

Fortunately, the caste system has been forbid by law, so nowadays all the people are able to communicate with each other, progress in life, have opportunities, and not be discriminated against.
