Answer:

They were used as labor to built levees and floodways to prevent future flood.

Explanation:

The states often used prisoners as labors for both government project or they can put them on hire as labors for private companies. This method will resulted in lower cost since they do not necessarily have to pay the convicts for their work.

Flood of 1927 was regarded as the most destructive flood in american history. The flood caused suffering for around 630,000 citizens.  In order to prevent this from happening again, the federal government initiated one of the largest infrastructure building project in American history. They initiated the project to  built levees and flood ways along the Mississippi river.

Convicts made up the vast majority of workers that were used in that government project.

According to the overview, what three reasons are stated in Scripture for why God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ?
Annette [7]

Answer:

To die for the sins of the humans, to serve humanity and to set an example.

Explanation:

The birth of Jesus Christ as a human born of flesh and blood is a solution for the salvation of humanity from the wrath of God. The sins they had committed and the eternal da mnation that is upon them can only be saved by the death of the one and only son of the Almighty Father. So, with the need to save men from eternally cursed, God decided to provide a safe means of salvation for his children.

The primary reasons of why Jesus Christ came to earth, mentioned in the scriptures are as follows-

(a) To die for the sins of the humans.

Hebrews 2:14-15 says, "<em>Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death</em>".

(b) To serve humanity.

Hebrews 2:17 states that "<em>For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.</em>"

(c) To set an example.

Hebrews 2: 18 says "<em>Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.</em>"
