For Europe, settlement meant alleviating some of the financial and physical stress caused by overpopulation, as well as opening up new avenues for trade. For North America, it meant the systematic murder and eventual removal of Native Americans, as well as the eventual birth of America, the world's most powerful country.

Explanation:
People all over the nation, even the world, responded with donations of clothing, food, and shelter. Doctors, nurses and Clara Barton and the American Red Cross arrived to provide medical assistance and emergency shelter and supplies. The Johnstown Flood was the first major disaster served by the recently formed Red Cross. Doctors worried especially about diseases that might breed in the unclean water and decaying bodies of humans and animals.
Undertakers volunteered for the gruesome task of preparing over 2,000 bodies for burial. 700 of the victims could not be identified. They were buried together in a new cemetery built high above the town. Recovering the bodies took weeks and cleaning up debris took months. Five thousand homes had been destroyed, so many families lived in tents. During recovery and relief efforts the state of Pennsylvania put Johnstown under martial (military) law, since many of the towns leaders had perished in the flood. General Hastings took charge for several months, making sure relief supplies went to survivors who needed them and keeping the press from taking over the town.
Answer:
Addams says that modern cities rely on industrialism, while feudal cities rely on militarism. This is because modern cities do not have to worry about enemy attacks, as feudal cities did.
Explanation:
The enemies of modern cities are internal, while feudal cities had external enemies, according to Addams. The internal enemies that modern cities present are related to the city's management failures and its political composition and can be presented as unemployment, lack of basic sanitation, violence, inadequate transport, insufficient or contaminated water, great proliferation of diseases, among others .
America's fear of communism from 1947-1953 was due to the increased political power of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had a communist system in which Stalin abused his power and took away civil liberties from his citizens. After World War II, his power continued to increase as the Soviet Union was allied/had control over several different countries in Europe including Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and Czechoslovakia. America was worried that this communist influence would continue to spread all over the world.
The fear of communism was not only present overseas, but also in America. During World War II there were Soviet spies in the US that gave information to the Soviet government. This, along with a small communist party in America, allowed for the development of McCarthyism. McCarthyism was essentially a witch hunt for any suspected communists. Anyone perceived as a communist threat could be called in front of Congress in the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).
