History

Most French Canadians immigrated to Michigan during the 1840-20th century. This chain of heavy migration was due to either economical or political reasons. For example some French Canadian's migrated for political reasons such as; young males trying to escape military enrollment during the 1st World War. Also rebels who participated in the lower Canadian rebellion (1837-1838). Now as to economical reasons, when one's life is miserable and one does not know how to pull out of poverty that person leaves it's environment. In this case, the French populated Saginaw Bay & Keweenaw regions in hopes of a better life and higher pay. Leaving Quebec, due to poverty, overpopulation, debt & infertile soil. In Michigan there was plenty of lumber and mining industry jobs readily available not seeking any or much experience. Some of these even allowing kids to work as well. The French were already experienced as fur traders and lumber workers, the only difficulty to face was the foreign language. Hope this helped & gave you a better idea on why they came to the U.S. :)

How did booker t washington and web dubois differ on civil rights?
vovikov84 [41]
Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) believed in a patient process, not immediately challenging the views of white superiority.  He thought that by hard work and perseverance, over time the black community would prove itself equal to whites.


W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963) criticized Washington's views, believing that it was wrong to allow any continuance of the idea of white superiority over blacks.  He promoted social action and agitation to challenge such views, because as long as whites viewed blacks as unequal, they would never allow actual equality to occur, and oppression of blacks by whites would continue in various forms.

How did the Tigris and Euphrates rivers make the growth of civilization Mesopotamia possible?
Finger [1]

Answer:

  • Water and soil brought by the Tigris and Euphrates helped to make this civilization possible. The farmers figured out how to use the two rivers to make the land more fertile. As in some early cultures, the farmers of Mesopotamia produced surplus crops.

  • The Tigris River formed the northern-most boundary of Mesopotamia

  • They used canals, or man-made waterways, as irrigation tools to channel water from rivers to crops.

  • It affected Sumer because the different city states fought each other. Some built up armies. Stronger city-states controlled larger areas.

  • The rivers flooded each year, depositing fertile soil on the land. The rivers also provided water for crops.

  • The surpluses of food encouraged local and long-distance trade because they provided the people with a valuable trading good for which they were able to get other goods that they needed and desired.

  • Priests claimed their status on their association with these lords of land. The Sumerians believed they had been created to serve their gods, and they served their gods with sacrificial offerings and supplications.

  • 1 : being above the human : divine superhuman beings. 2 : exceeding normal human power, size, or capability : herculean a superhuman effort superhuman strength also : having such power, size, or capability.

Why was northern and central asia imperialized
Effectus [21]

The history of Central Asia concerns the history of the various peoples that have inhabited Central Asia. The lifestyle of such people has been determined primarily by the area's climate and geography. The aridity of the region makes agriculture difficult and distance from the sea cut it off from much trade. Thus, few major cities developed in the region. Nomadic horse peoples of the steppe dominated the area for millennia.
