Answer:

The origins of the National Woman's Party (NWP) date from 1912, when Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, young Americans schooled in the militant tactics of the British suffrage movement, were appointed to the National American Woman Suffrage Association's (NAWSA) Congressional Committee. They injected a renewed militancy into the American campaign and shifted attention away from state voting rights toward a federal suffrage amendment.At odds with NAWSA over tactics and goals, Paul and Burns founded the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage (CU) in April 1913, but remained on NAWSA's Congressional Committee until December that year. Two months later, NAWSA severed all ties with the CU.

The CU continued its aggressive suffrage campaign. Its members held street meetings, distributed pamphlets, petitioned and lobbied legislators, and organized parades, pageants, and speaking tours. In June 1916 the CU formed the NWP, briefly known as the Woman's Party of Western Voters. The CU continued in states where women did not have the vote; the NWP existed in western states that had passed women's suffrage. In March 1917 the two groups reunited into a single organization–the NWP.

In January 1917 the CU and NWP began to picket the White House. The government's initial tolerance gave way after the United States entered World War I. Beginning in June 1917, suffrage protestors were arrested, imprisoned, and often force-fed when they went on hunger strikes to protest being denied political prisoner status.

The NWP's militant tactics and steadfast lobbying, coupled with public support for imprisoned suffragists, forced President Woodrow Wilson to endorse a federal woman suffrage amendment in 1918. Congress passed the measure in 1919, and the NWP began campaigning for state ratification. Shortly after Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify women's suffrage, the 19th Amendment was signed into law on August 26, 1920.

Once suffrage was achieved, the NWP focused on passing an Equal Rights Amendment. The party remained a leading advocate of women's political, social, and economic equality throughout the 20th century.

THE MIDDLE EAST INFORMATION

"The most widely accepted theory for why the Middle East is loaded with oil is that the region was not always a vast desert. Scientists say that 100 million years ago this area was instead a massive body of water known as the “Tethys Ocean.” Rivers that fed into this ocean were loaded with nutrients, which lead to conditions that were conducive for a diverse variety of microscopic life to materialize in the water.

As life is never one to pass up an opportunity, these conditions resulted in billions and billions of miniscule marine creatures swimming about. Algae, bacteria, and whatever else nature came up with eventually accumulated on the ocean floor in thick layers that grew to be miles deep. As more layers formed on top of these over time, the lower parts were compressed. Those compressed aquatic corpses transformed into oil. The oil was captured in place on the seabed by thick layers of salt.

As the land in the modern Middle East region rose due to tectonic activity, the Tethys Ocean receded. What remained in its place was the sandy, dry Middle Eastern desert. But deep under the sand, the oily remains of billions of microscopic lifeforms still lie buried. Today, we suck these remains to the surface and use them to power our automobiles, in addition to many other gizmos of modern life."

HAWAII INFORMATION

"There is no oil or gas activity in Hawaii due to limited crude oil and natural gas reserves. ... For example, in 2013 there was an increase in the price of natural gas, making it economical to extract natural gas that previously had been too expensive to extract."

Take this information of both the Middle East and Hawaii to form sentences of a basic claim. (Why does the Middle East have oil but not Hawaii?) Then, take the evidence I've given you and reason with it. Give brief explanations.

You said no links, so I'll just give you the names of the websites to cite. You can read through the websites if you need more information.
