<span>The United States was not always a united nation. Before the United States became  what it is today, it had been just thirteen colonies. Those colonies transformed from a united  country into something more, a transcontinental nation, with the help of many events.Though  deaths and sacrifices were made in the process, it helped shape the transcontinental nation.  The thirteen colonies went from a new independent country to a transcontinental nation  because of the economic improvements, the War of 1812, and the westward expansion.   
</span><span>Economic improvements helped the transformation into a transcontinental nation in a  big way. The ways were the use of the National Bank and the American System, as well as  the First Industrial Revolution.  The National Bank was proposed by, then Treasurer,  Alexander Hamilton. The National Bank would control government finances. It would also  "performed the basic banking functions of accepting deposits, issuing bank notes, making  loans and purchasing securities." (National Bank History). The American System is "consisted  of three mutually reinforcing parts: a tariff to protect and promote American industry; a  national bank to foster commerce; and federal subsidies for roads, canals, and other "internal  improvements" to develop profitable markets for agriculture." (Senate Historical Office). The  American System became a main focus in the Whig Party opposition against Andrew  Jackson. The First Industrial Revolution greatly helped the transformation. When Samuel  Slater brought his ideas from Britain the idea of the cotton mill was thought of and built in  Massachusetts. </span>

Desperate, please hurry<br> Why is Columbine important?
artcher [175]

Answer:

The Columbine effect is the legacy and impact of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre. The shooting has inspired numerous copycat crimes, with many killers taking their inspiration from Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, by describing the two perpetrators as being martyrs. The shooting has also had a significant impact on popular culture.

<u>Background</u>:

On April 20, 1999, Columbine High School seniors, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered 12 students and one teacher then injured 24 others. Around 50 minutes after the shooting began, Harris and Klebold took their own lives in the library, where the majority of their victims died.[1] It was at the time, the deadliest shooting at a high school in American history.[2] The shooting was the most covered news story of 1999, and third most followed by the American public of the entire decade.[3]

<u>Effects on schools:</u>

Following the Columbine shooting, schools across the United States instituted new security measures such as transparent backpacks, metal detectors, school uniforms, and security guards. Some schools implemented the numbering of school doors to improve public safety response. Several schools throughout the country resorted to requiring students to wear computer-generated IDs.[4]

Schools also adopted a zero tolerance approach to possession of weapons and threatening behavior by students.[5] Despite the effort, several social science experts feel the zero tolerance approach adopted in schools has been implemented too harshly, with unintended consequences creating other problems.[6] Despite the safety measures that were implemented in the wake of the tragedy at Columbine, school shootings continued to take place in the United States at an alarming rate. Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, and Stoneman Douglas were three subsequent school shootings that far surpassed the casualties of the 1999 massacre, subsequently raising concern of gun violence in the United States.

<u>Police tactics:</u>

Police departments reassessed their tactics and since then train for Columbine-like situations after criticism over the slow response and progress of the SWAT teams during the shooting.[7][8] Sheriff Stone did not seek reelection.

Police followed a traditional tactic at Columbine: surround the building, set up a perimeter, and contain the damage. That approach has been replaced by a tactic known as the Immediate Action Rapid Deployment tactic. This tactic calls for a four-person team to advance into the site of any ongoing shooting, optimally a diamond-shaped wedge, but even with just a single officer if more are not available. Police officers using this tactic are trained to move toward the sound of gunfire and neutralize the shooter as quickly as possible.[9] Their goal is to stop the shooter at all costs; they are to walk past wounded victims, as the aim is to prevent the shooter from killing or wounding more. Dave Cullen has stated: "The active protocol has proved successful at numerous shootings...At Virginia Tech alone, it probably saved dozens of lives."[10]

One mostly negative effect of urbanization was the establishment of
lora16 [44]

Answer

One most negative effect of urbanization was the establishment of slums

Explanations

Urbanization is a process by which large populations relocate from rural areas to urban areas that enables cities and towns to grow. This progressive increase of people staying in towns and cities has both positive and negative effects. One most negative effect is the development of slums because of high cost of living in urban centers. Due to random growth  and high levels of employment in the cities, there is development of unlawful settlement that is composed of slums and squatters. The development of slums in urban centers is an indication of fast-paced industrialization, inadequate land for housing , high number of people relocating to towns in search of better life and increased land prices beyond the affordable levels of the urban poor.
