Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Document 4a - Historian Eric Foner was interviewed for a documentary special entitled "Africans in America". Below is an excerpt of this interview.

Q: What is the relationship between slavery and westward expansion?

A: … The westward expansion carried slavery down into the Southwest, into Mississippi, Alabama, crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana. Finally, by the 1840’s, it was pouring into Texas…. Now in the Southwest, West, and South, slave owners insisted that slavery was absolutely essential to that story of progress. Without slavery, you could not have civilization, they said. Slavery freed the upper class from the need to do manual labor, freed them from actually settling and creating civilization, freed them from working on the land, to worry about economic day-to-day realities…. and therefore gave them the time and the intellectual ability to devote themselves to the arts and literature and mechanical advantages and inventions of all kinds. So that it was slavery itself which made the progress of civilization possible.…Therefore, in order to settle the Southwest and Western territories, slavery would be a necessary institution.  

4a. According to Eric Foner, suggest ONE reason Southern slave owners supported the expansion of slavery into the west.

Answer:

One reason for the expansion of slavery to the west was to promote the colonization of that land and therefore to promote civilization.

Explanation:

According to Erick Foner's response, slavery allowed whites to create American civilization, according to their own thoughts. This is because, according to the scruocratic thought, if slaves took care of heavy work, whites would promote art, science and literature, which are the factors they believed were the shapers of civilization. thus, by supporting the expansion of slavery to the west, the colonizers believed that they were taking civilization to these lands.

what government inspectors investigated the claims made by Upton Sinclair in The Jungle, they found that
Tpy6a [65]
Upton Sinclair's novel, The Jungle, was written to show the world how cruelly and harshly immigrants in industrialized cities were treated in the early twentieth century. At first, the claims that Sinclair made in his novel were thought to be outlandish and over exaggerated. However, when government officials actually looked into the claims, they found that conditions were even worse than what Sinclair had said. Hope this helps.

I found these choices on the internet:
Women were starting to take on more involved roles.
The navy was removing women from active combat.
Military leaders were beginning to put women in command.
More women than men were serving in the military.

The answer would be <span>Women were starting to take on more involved roles.

Women roles quickly change because of the war. More than 100,000 women worked in the Women's Army Corps during World War II, which later became recognized as the Women’s Army Corps. Women also participated in the United States Navy.
