7 0

During the Cold War, America was constantly fearful of communist attacks and the Soviet Union in general. Below is a list of some of the actions taken by American citizens/government during this era:

1) Created fallout shelters: These basements/secret hideaways were supposed to provide protection for citizens in case of a nuclear war. This shelter would be stockpiled with food and water in order to ensure survival.

2) Duck and Cover: This was a method taught to students in school on how to protect yourself from a nuclear attack. This involved ducking under a desk and covering the back of their neck. The Duck and Cover video was shown to millions of students all over the country.

That is a good question.The answer to that is limitless as well. We had one main goal though when we started our nation. That was to create a nation that was not like England.

A river valley civilization is an agricultural nation or civilization situated beside and drawing sustenance from a river. A "civilization" means a society with large permanent settlements featuring urban development, social satisfaction, specialization of labor, centralized organization, and written or other formal means of communication. A river gives the inhabitants a reliable source of water for drinking and agriculture. Additional benefits include fishing, fertile soil due to annual flooding, and ease of transportation. The first great civilizations, such as those in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, all grew up in river valleys. Tigris River flourished near Mesopotamia civilization and river nile flourished near civilization of Egypt.
