Answer:
As early as the 1930´s Great Depression, redlining racist practices had federal housing lending programs limiting loans for African American neighborhoods.
Explanation:
Minority groups had higher interest rates than those offered to white people, and sometimes possible foreclosures forced them to take more loans with even higher interest rates, reinforcing the cycle of debt and poverty.
This discrimination in access to buy land lasted until the 1970s and is still present in the prevailing real estate market.
How does Inman’s view of the war differ from Lee? Why does he fear Lee’s logic towards fighting?
Answer:
1. Lee liked fighting and thought that war was a good way of showing what God's will is, or identifying who was favored by God. Inman felt that we fought so many wars and the idea did not appeal to him.
2. Inman feared Lee's logic that war was most sacred after prayer and bible reading because if his thoughts were true, then every victor in all wars and squabbles would be identified as the chosen one from God.
Explanation:
In the book, Cold Mountain, Inman was characterized as an injured man at the war who had a conversation with a man who was born blind. In the conversation, the blind man asked him to tell of a time when he wished that he was born blind. That led him to begin his recollection of a fight that was done under a General named Lee. To spur his subordinates to fight, Lee sold them the idea that war was a sacred thing and that it was used by God to identify his chosen ones or reveal his hidden will.
Inman did not view the war in the same light as Lee as the idea of war was not appealing to him.
Read the poem. Song of the Open Road by Walt Whitman Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose. Henceforth I ask not good-fortune—I myself am good-fortune; Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Strong and content, I travel the open road. . . . From this hour, freedom! From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines, Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute, Listening to others, and considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. I inhale great draughts of space; The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine. I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so much goodness. All seems beautiful to me; I can repeat over to men and women, You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you. I will recruit for myself and you as I go; I will scatter myself among men and women as I go; I will toss the new gladness and roughness among them; Whoever denies me, it shall not trouble me; Whoever accepts me, he or she shall be blessed, and shall bless me.

dude where is the question. just a passage??
What information did Van Lew relay to Union army
commanders? Check all that apply.
Answer:
Explanation:
When the Civil War erupted in 1861, Union and Confederate officers could never have predicted the role women would play in gathering information about the enemy. But as Northern and Southern women began providing critical intelligence on everything from the enemy’s movements to its military strategy, both sides began to actively recruit them as operatives. Over the course of the war, hundreds of women acted as undercover agents, willing to risk their lives to help their cause.
One of the most effective was Union spy Elizabeth Van Lew—a prominent member of Richmond, Virginia, society. The 43-year-old lived with her widowed mother in a three-story mansion in the Confederate capital. Educated in the North, Van Lew took pride in her Richmond roots, but she fervently opposed slavery and secession, writing her thoughts in a secret diary she kept buried in her backyard and whose existence she would reveal only on her deathbed.
But your answers would be:
2. Where the prisoners had been.
3. Who commanded which rebel armies.
4. The morale of rebel troops .
5. Where the rebel troops were headed.

Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of the travels of Marco polo which statement best reflects the authors opinion about dates and salt fish
Answer:
Dates and salt fish are not high-quality foods
Explanation:
Answer:
"They are small creatures and very pretty."
Explanation:
refers to how a person's judgements are shaped by their personal experiences and feelings. It is often used as opposed to objectivity, which is the use of pure facts, with no personal bias.
In this case, the first option (sheep that have no ears) is stated as a fact that we can objectively examine. Either the sheep have ears, or not, but it is not subject to personal opinion. The third and fourth options are similar to the first one, in that they only state a fact, with no bias of opinion from Marco Polo.
However, the second one states that the sheep are "small" and "pretty," which are not easy to define objectively. Marco Polo might think the animals are small and pretty because he is comparing it to his previous experience with similar animals in Europe. However, someone from a different culture might think of them as large and ugly. Because this is open to debate, and the answer can change based on personal bias, this is a good example of subjectivity.
All of the folowing are general purposes for public speaking except:
a. to inform.b. to entertain.
c. to motivate.
d. to persuade.

write an article for publication in your school magazine suggesting at least two ways of by which cheating in the BECE can be stopped
Answer:
"The Antidote to Curb Cheating in the BECE"Cheating is characterized as malpractice that not only affects the physical and mental health of the students but also prevents a fair competition. This directly affects the mental stability of the diligent students as well as they are being denied to their basic rights that cause a sense of discontentment and unwillingness to work hard which is detrimental to their growth and development. Thus, it has quadruple effects including the parents and teachers.
In order to resolve this problem in the BECE, the assessment style need to be altered. The assessment must test the intellectuality of the students and clarity of the concept using fresh examples(unplagiarized or copied) and arranging a blend of formative and summative assessments for them. This will compel the students to have clarity of the concept before answering the question and prevent cheating. Another way is to aware the students from the very beginning of their schooling about the significance of personal integrity and the ill-effects of cheating on their health, career, and life. This will help instill a feeling into the students to do things on their own and focus on their authentic learning and growth instead of relying upon cheating. This will promote the students towards real learning rather than just completing the formality.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
From White Fang
By Jack London
Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.
As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.
At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:
"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."
"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.
They spoke no more until camp was made.
What aspects of the developing story would you emphasize in a summary of this section of the text? Why would you emphasize them? Please respond in three to five complete sentences.
Answer and Explanation:
The aspect of this story that I would emphasize in a summary of this section of text would be the noises that terrified the characters. I would emphasize this element, as I believe it is the most important part of the narrative, since this fear is what motivates the characters' action, in addition to imposing suspense, tension and gripping the narrative, leaving the reader anxious for the facts that are will develop ahead.

Read this excerpt from “The Medicine Bag.”
“My father in his early manhood,” Grandpa began, “made a vision quest to find a spirit guide for his life. You cannot understand how it was in that time, when the great Teton Sioux were first made to stay on the reservation. There was a strong need for guidance from Wakantanka, the Great Spirit. But too many of the young men were filled with despair and hatred. They thought it was hopeless to search for a vision when the glorious life was gone and only the hated confines of a reservation lay ahead. But my father held to the old ways.”
