Omg I’m from New Orleans and live here right now I’m sooo excited about answering this .. so like the Mississippi rivers starts at lake ltasca. And New Orleans is where all our stuff go at . It’s where all the trading ports at . For example: before 911 the twin towers where one of Americas top resources places before the big major. But Now New Orleans is one of the top places where all our resources go .. food, money , clothes, etc.. but in order for that to come through it have to go through New Orleans and the Mississippi River first. Mississippi River was a major transportation for settlers and good to ship items east. New Orleans is very important for importing and exporting goods. The river is a major factor in the fight for Louisiana territory. It’s major transportation artery crucial to the economy and trade. It ends about 100 miles downstream from New Orleans. I hope this help ☺️

ololo11 [35]
The United Farm Workers of America, or more commonly just United Farm Workers (UFW), is a labor union for farmworkers in the United States. It originated from the merger of two workers' rights organizations, the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) led by organizer Larry Itliong, and the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta. They became allied and transformed from workers' rights organizations into a union as a result of a series of strikes in 1965, when the mostly Filipino farmworkers of the AWOC in Delano, California initiated a grape strike, and the NFWA went on strike in support. As a result of the commonality in goals and methods, the NFWA and the AWOC formed the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee on August 22, 1966.This organization was accepted into the AFL-CIO in 1972 and changed its name to the United Farm workers Union.
