What transformed American business and industry in the 1980s?
Luden [163]

Answer:

The late 1970s were a time of bright miniskirts, mirrored disco balls and platform shoes. But the wild changes taking place 30 years ago weren't all in music and fashion.

Inside office suites, workers were learning to type memos into their Altair personal computers while hoping to become an important cog in a big, corporate wheel. But as the 1980s arrived, career goals were shifting for those who found cubicle life stifling and who were bold enough to take risks.

Which reason led to the establishment of colonies in both Virginia and the Carolinas?
slavikrds [6]

Answer: Colonists were looking for new economic opportunities.

Explanation:

The climatic conditions in the Southern colonies offered economic opportunities that incited immigration. Their economies were based on the cultivation of crops that could be sold in Europe, such as tobacco, rice, and indigo.

Virginia, founded in 1607, offered fertile land, abundant game, and plentiful timber. Carolina, founded in 1663 and later divided into North and South Carolina, had huge rice plantations in the south and small farms in the north.
