The Progressive Era Conservation Movement was a social movement taking place during the late 19th and 20th century that saw a resurgence in environmental conservation following the drastic exploitation of natural resources in the United States. Supporters of this movement included President Theodore Roosevelt who created state entities to preserve natural resources and lands. 

The Hetch-Hetchy debate discussed the incorporation of water resources into San Fransisco's city planning, specifically the damming of an important river in Yosemite in order to grow the new city or the conservation of wild lands. Congress debated the issue, pitting conservationists and preservationists against one another, eventually, conservationists were victorious seeing a dam built in the Hetch Hetchy Valley.

What is ironic about the following passage from narrative of the life of fredrick Douglass in 1832
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: His master is crueler after finding religion than he was before.

Explanation:

Douglas considered his master as a cruel man. His master once went out for a christian camp meeting and in the course of the meeting, he surrendered his life to Christ. Due to this, Douglass hoped that this religious transformation would result in his master being less cruel toward his slaves, and this didn't turn out to be the case, rather the master became more cruel.

This is an irony, because Douglass experienced the opposite of his expectation. An irony is the expression of one's meaning by the use of language which normally signifies the opposite, usually for emphatic or humorous effect.

How did industrialization increase the speed of change
SIZIF [17.4K]
Industrialization drastically increased the speed of change because the production of new goods always had to increase and be faster at the end of the day. The demand was ever-increasing which made change much more desirable when it was in the direction of increased production. 

In this way industrialization increased the speed of change.
