Answer:

AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR

Explanation:

The American Federation of Labor was a national federation of labor unions in the United States founded in Columbus, Ohio, in December 1886 by an alliance of craft unions disaffected from the Knights of Labor, a national labor union. Samuel Gompers was elected the full-time president at its founding convention and reelected every year, except one, until his death in 1924. He became the major spokesperson for the union movement.

The AFL was the largest union grouping in the United States for the first half of the 20th century, even after the creation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) by unions which were expelled by the AFL in 1935. The Federation was founded and dominated by craft unions throughout its first fifty years, after which many craft union affiliates turned to organizing on an industrial union basis to meet the challenge from the CIO in the 1940s. In 1955, the AFL merged with the CIO to create the AFL-CIO, which has comprised the longest lasting and most influential labor federation in the United States to this day.

Damm [24]

Native American tribes, including the Omaha, Oto, Missouri, Pawnee, Arapaho and Cheyenne, all ceded (gave up) land in Nebraska to the U.S. government. In all, there were 18 separate treaties between 1825 and 1892 in Nebraska alone. These treaties were a part of a much larger pattern of land transfers that allowed an explosion of European settlement. By 1850, the tribes had seen more people moving through along the Platte River. The Homestead Act, which gave free land to settlers, meant that large numbers of immigrants were now going to stay in the area. In this section, there are two major stories about Native Americans during the settlement period. First, there is the story of how native people met the challenges of living on this plains landscape. And second, there is the story of conflict as more and more people tried to live on the same land.

Which BEST describes why conflicts still exist in southwest Asia?The United States no longer supports Israel.Palestinian Arabs t

Jlenok [28]

“The land in Israel remains important to three major world religions” is the BEST option.

The Lands of Israel, and especially the city of Jerusalem, are sacred territory for both Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

This has brought endless struggles for the control of certain specific points such as the Temple of Jerusalem. For example, Christianity faced Islam during the Middle Ages through the Crusades.

The territory of the former Roman province of Palestine is governed and inhabited mostly by the State of Israel, but certain territories such as the Gaza Strip, or the so-called Cis-jordan, as well as the western part of Jerusalem by settlers called Palestinians, who are of Islamic religion.

On the one hand, these territories are very densely populated and represent a danger for the State of Israel, as well as for the support they receive from several Arab countries in the region and for various military organizations that, according to their leaders, aim to destroy Israel.

On the other hand, Israel has greater control and military power in the area and often uses it in very accurate attacks on strategic targets as well as on the civilian community.

The official support of the United States continues to be an important political support for military support for Israel, even though there is no internal consensus between the citizens and the American politicians.

The leaders of the Jewish religion have a very important goal that is to rebuild the ancient Temple of Jerusalem, but in the precise place that was historically located, is occupied by one of the most important mosques of Islam called the "dome of the Rock" or "Mosque of Omar". Until a solution is reached on this point of conflict, it is very likely that the situation will persist for a long time.

In conclusion there are many factors that influence the Arab-Israeli conflict but without a doubt the main one is the mutual hatred between the fundamentalist sectors of both religions and the support of different sectors of Christianity and the international community to one of them.
