For starters, she was considered as the “eyes and ears” of the New Deal. During the Great Depression, she visited shanty towns, reported back to FDR and described what she saw and what improvements needed to be made. She wrote articles and newspapers of what was happening and alongside fought for women’s and racial rights.
One popular incident that happened was when Eleanor was going to watch African American singer Marion Anderson perform in Washington D.C. The performance was quickly cancelled because of the color of Anderson’s skin color. In response, Eleanor publicly quit the group she was in, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and invites Anderson to perform an open concert in front of the Lincoln Memorial. 75,000 people attended that show and millions of people listened to the radio to hear Anderson sing.

Why did Texans object to being merged with Coahuila?
Serhud [2]
ANSWER: In the case of Tejas its territory was organized for administrative purposes, with the state being divided into three districts: Béxar, comprising the area covered by Texas; Monclova, comprising northern Coahuila; and Río Grande Saltillo, comprising southern Coahuila.

The state remained in existence until the adoption of the 1835 "Constitutional Bases", whereby the federal republic was converted into a unitary one, and the nation's states (estados) were turned into departments (departamentos). The State of Coahuila and Texas was split in two and became the Department of Coahuila and the Department of Texas.basically that explains it I belive

How are Karl Marx and Adam smith different between property ownership? Help me please
postnew [5]

Answer:

Karl Marx and Adam Smith are both very different when it comes to their views about property ownership.

Explanation:

Adam Smith defends private property and considers it to be not only one of the pillars of the market system, but of civilization itself.

Karl Marx, on the other hand, understands the function of private property in society, but criticizes the tendency that private property has to accumulate in a few hands, a phenomenon also known as capital accumulation, which Marx identifies as one of the pillars of capitalism. For this reason, Marx proposes an alternative property system based on common ownership, and this system is known as communism.
