Answer:

On March 8, 1964, Malcolm X publicly announced his break with the Nation of Islam. He said he was still a Muslim, but that the Nation had arrived "as far as possible" due to its rigid religious teachings.Malcolm X announced that he was going to make a black nationalist organization that would try to "increase the political consciousness" of African-Americans. He also expressed his desire to work with other civil rights leaders and said that Elijah Muhammad had prevented him from doing so in the past.

In his autobiography, Malcolm X said that one of the reasons for the breakdown was the growing tension between him and Elijah Muhammad due to his dismay at Muhammad's rumors of extramarital affairs with young secretaries. These actions went against the teachings of the Nation. Although Malcolm initially ignored the rumors, he spoke with Muhammad's son and the women who made the accusations. He came to believe that it was true and Muhammad himself confirmed the rumors in 1963. Muhammad tried to justify his actions, referring to the precedents of the biblical prophets.

Another reason was envy, since Malcolm X had become the favorite of the media, and many at the Nation's headquarters in Chicago felt that it overshadowed Muhammad. Louis Lomax's book on the Nation of Islam of 1963, entitled "When the word is given", included a picture of Malcolm X on the cover and five of his speeches, but only one of Muhammad, which greatly upset Muhammad. Muhammad was also jealous because the publisher was interested in the autobiography of Malcolm X.

Why was Jefferson chosen to write the Decleration of independence?

RUDIKE [14]

C. He had proven his profound writing skills

Explanation:

John Adams was the leader of Independence advocates, which was unanimously confirmed on July 2. A committee of five had already devised an official declaration that would be ready when Congress voted on independence. The term "declaration of independence" is not used in the document itself.
Adams persuaded the committee to select Thomas Jefferson to create the original concept of the document, which Congress would later edit to create the final version. The declaration ultimately provided a formal explanation for why Congress voted to declare independence from the United Kingdom more than a year after the outbreak of the American War of Independence. The nation's birthday, Independence Day, is celebrated on July 4, though Adams wanted it to be July 2.
After signing the document on July 4, Congress released the Declaration of Independence in multiple forms.
Adams convinced Jefferson to write the Declaration, saying that Jefferson is 10 times better writer than he is.

Predict how the economic changes during the roaring twenties could possible lead to an economic disaster

mezya [45]

The Roaring Twenties was a great golden age in America, but ironically, led to its greatest downfall.

Lots of new things became popular among all Americans in the 20's; automobiles, radio, silent movies, etc. People were spending money left and right on these things, and were becoming very materialized. So why am I talking about Americans buying boatloads of stuff they didn't need? Well, this was one of the prime causes of the Great Depression. Americans started buying on margin, or buying with credit; buy now, pay later. People bought so much like this, that they had to borrow lots of money from the banks. As this went on, it built up slowly, and led into buying stocks on margin. This eventually led to the Stock Market Crash of 1929. As people ran to the banks to withdraw all their money, the banks failed, and people lost all their savings in the blink of an eye. Manufacturers soon started producing less and laying off workers as jobs became a demand, and ended up causing the intense unemployment rates throughout the country. And finally, farmers suffered as a massive drought hit the Mississippi Valley in 1930, which created the infamous Dust Bowl.
