Explanation:
Thomas Paine's "Crisis No. 1" is a political pamphlet that expresses the need for the colonies to revolt against the British monarchy and fight for their independence. This document would become one of the inspirations for the American war of Independence.
Paine states,<em> "the heart that feels not is dead"</em>, referring to those reluctant to participate in the revolt. According to him, those who join the revolt are giving their part to ensure a future for their children and the coming generations. His appeal directs more to those who did not join the cause while they have the chance to be a part of something history will always remember. He reiterates that <em>"the blood of his children will curse his cowardice who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole and made them happy."</em>
The Urban Housing Act was enacted in 1949 and embodied within the Fair Deal domestic policy implemented by President Truman.
This act contained provisions that extended the participation of the federal goverment in the insurance and issuing of mortgages and for the construction and provision of public housing facilities. It also contained renewal programs specially targeting the end of slum settlements.
