The Erie Canal reinvigorated Detroit.
The Erie Canal was a very ambitious project that connected Detroit and the huge commercial powerhouse of New York City.
Detroit benefitted hugely from this because:
- it became a center of trade as people came to trade things coming and going to New York
- the population rose significantly as a result of it being a center of trade
- the city became more modern to accommodate it's newfound status.
We can therefore conclusively state that the Erie canal had such a massive influence on Detroit that it is no exaggeration to say that Detroit would not be the city it is today with the canal.

The answer is strong governments in towns and villages, and a relatively weak government.
1992 was the 500th anniversary of the day Columbus came to america. But in 1992 it was changed from Columbus day to indigenous peoples day. That is what led to massive protests in 1992.
Preventing genocide is one of the greatest challenges facing the international community.[1]<span> Aside from the suffering and grief inflicted upon generations of people and the catastrophic social, economic and political dislocations that follow, this ‘crime of crimes’ has the potential to destabilize entire regions for decades (Bosco, 2005). The shockwaves of Rwanda’s genocide are still felt in the eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo nearly 20 years later, for example. Considerable resources are now devoted to the task of preventing genocide. In 2004 the United Nations established the Office of the Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide with the purpose to ‘raise awareness of the causes and dynamics of genocide, to alert relevant actors where there is a risk of genocide, and to advocate and mobilize for appropriate action’ (UN 2012). At the 2005 World Summit governments pledged that where states were ‘manifestly failing’ to protect their populations from ‘war crimes, genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity’ the international community could step in a protect those populations itself (UN, 2012). The ‘responsibility to protect’ (R2P) project, designed to move the concept of state sovereignty away from an absolute right of non-intervention to a moral charge of shielding the welfare of domestic populations, is now embedded in international law (Evans 2008). Just this year, the United States government has stated that ‘preventing mass atrocities and genocide is a core national security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States,’ and that ‘President Obama has made the prevention of atrocities a key focus of this Administration’s foreign policy’ (Auschwitz Institute, 2012). Numerous scholars and non-government organisations have similarly made preventing genocide their primary focus (Albright and Cohen, 2008; Genocide Watch, 2012).</span>
