Explanation:

The Knights of Labor started as <em>a secret organization</em>, which was founded in the 19th century by a small group of tailors from Philadelphia. The organization promoted the rights of workers and its main concern was labor and laborers' rights and position in society.

Different Types of Waves Quick Check

In contrast to mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves can travel without a medium. This implies that electromagnetic waves can pass not only through solid objects like air and rock but also through empty space.

James Clerk Maxwell, a Scottish scientist, created a scientific theory to explain electromagnetic waves in the 1860s and 1870s. He realized that electromagnetic waves can be created when magnetic and electrical fields combine together. He compiled this electricity-magnetism relationship into what are now known as "Maxwell's Equations."

German physicist Heinrich Hertz used Maxwell's theories to explain how radio waves are transmitted and received. In honour of Heinrich Hertz, the hertz, or one cycle per second, is the unit of radio wave frequency. Two issues were resolved by his radio wave experiment. First, he had proven that the speed of radio waves was the same as the speed of light, which was something Maxwell had only theorized.

This demonstrated how radio waves are a type of light. Second, Hertz discovered how to create electromagnetic waves by causing the electric and magnetic fields to separate from wires.

What is the approximate difference in the elevation between austin and the hill country just to the west
adoni [48]

Answer and Explanation:

Elevation means the action of raising or being raised to a higher level, state, or position. The elevation is usually referred to as mountains because of its highs and falls. Elevation usually ranges from 500 to 2250 feet above the sea level. The hill country is situated in central Texas. Hill country extends to the northern portion of San Antonia and western portions of Austin. The elevation in hill country ranges from 500 feet to 2000 feet above the sea level. Austin is a southernmost state capital of the contiguous 48 states, which is situated in Central Texas. Austin  located 146 miles northwest of Houston, 182 miles south of Dallas, and 74 miles northeast of San Antonio. The elevation of Austin varies from 425 feet to approximately 1,000 feet above sea level. So the hill country is more elevated than Austin.

Do you think every area under US control should have representation in Congress? Why or why not?
ser-zykov [4K]

Yes, as this would ensure more equal representation for the US's states and all territories which is occupied without much care. These territories would be able to become involved, allowing the people more freedom and more power, creating a better living situation for themselves and therefore bettering the US as a whole by creating a new area of opportunity.

Imagine you were a soldier in the Vietnam War. How would you feel after returning home and dealing with anti-war protesters? Wha
aliina [53]

As a Vietnam War veteran I would feel mistreated and misunderstood. I fought for my country risking my life, yet many people thought all I did there was wrong. Many Americans opposed the war on moral grounds and the war itself was hugely unpopular. They wanted to forget the war and the veterans.

I would also feel very unappreciated. The WWII Veterans were seen and celebrated as heros but we were just a nuisance. No proper benefits were offered to us, so many had to return to a life in poverty. We were given only 200$ pro months and no money whatsoever for education. As a result of this, many of us had to get basic, low-wage jobs with no carrier opportunities.

I would feel angry as well because I did was I was asked for to do and I did it for my country. Many of us suffered from PTSD, a fact that got ignored and not mentioned much. So many of Vietnam Veterans felt forgotten and abandoned in their own country that the number of suicides among them was higher than the number of these dying in the war.
