In your opinion, did Columbus discovered the West Indies? Discuss why.

History
1 answer:
irakobra [83]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

In my opinion Columbus did discover the west indies because the definition it states "Discover means to find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search." never in the definition does it mention in order to "discover" something you have to be the first one to find it or be the first one to come across such and such. I see why some people might disagree but if it were in terms of if Columbus founded the west indies I would have a completely different opinion because there were people their before he was "there were already people living there. The Taino and Carib were the largest groups in the region when Columbus arrived in 1493. ..." The definition of founded is "establish or originate (an institution or organization), especially by providing an endowment." which would confirm he ONLY discovered and didn't found the west indies when both definitions are juxtaposed this is made clear.

In your opinion, what is the best argument against nativism? Give reasons to support your answer.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The best argument against nativism is that immigrants contribute a great deal to the American economy and to American society. There is very little evidence that immigrants take jobs from American citizens. Instead, they normally take unpleasant jobs that most Americans do not want to do. It is also not true that immigrants do not pay taxes. Payroll taxes and income taxes are deducted from their wages, and they pay sales taxes when they purchase goods. In addition, immigrants add to the cultural diversity of the United States.

How did President T. Roosevelt and President W. Wilson fix the problems created by industrialization?
nordsb [41]
They did it by introducing social policies and acts to stop monopolies. Not only did they limit the power of companies to prevent them from taking land from people or cheating them when making deals, they also implemented policies that made working conditions safer and increased the basic wages and helped unions as opposed to helping the companies.
