Using information from the map above, discuss the population growth in the Sunbelt states and the Conservative Resurgence. Include historical information from your textbook as well as your interpretation of the map. Refer to specific states and population numbers as needed.
Answers
The correct answer is the following.
Although the question is incomplete because it does not include the map and the texts referred, we can comment on the following.
We are talking about the states from the south of the country across the southwestern and southern states such as Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, and California.
The growth of this important region of the United States began during World War II because some military industries and weapon factories moved to this Sun Belt area, creating many jobs for the citizens. By the 1970s, many immigrants from México and Central American gave another economic dimensión to this area due to their work in the farm fields. They established there and created an impressive economic movement between the border Mexican states.
a lack of running water in the tenements made it extremely difficult to do what?
Answers
B. Do the laundry
With a lack of running water it was common for tenements to be less sanitary.
Laundry became extremely difficult to do with a lack of running water in the tenements.
What was extremely difficult to do in the tenements with a lack of running water?
Tenements are areas composed of housing complexes that are situated in urban areas. They were constructed in the 1800s and were occupied by immigrant populations. The living conditions in these tenements were abject. Tenements were poorly constructed, over-crowded, and had a total lack of amenities. Poor, low-wage workers and immigrant populations lived in these tenements in the direst of conditions. Due to the lack of facilities and resources, access to clean running water was sparse. As a consequence of this, doing laundry became extremely difficult in these tenement areas.This had a major impact on the sanitation and hygiene of the inhabitants of tenements.To conclude, the lack of running water in poorly-constructed and maintained tenements made doing laundry extremely difficult for the immigrant population that inhabited these areas.

Which was a goal Radical Republicans had during
Reconstruction?
A. Guaranteeing all African American males the right to vote
B. Preventing African Americans from being citizens
O C. Restoring the property of former Confederates
O D. Making African Americans pass a complicated series of tests to
vote
Answers
A. Guaranteeing all African American males the right to vote.
Explanation:
After the American Civil War, the Reconstruction began. One of the biggest topics during this time was whether or not the South should be punished and take blame for their actions. While some people wanted to forgive the South and move on, some wanted the South to pay.
The Radical Republicans played a big role in the Reconstruction. They believed in equal rights for African Americans and black males ended up with the right to vote. They also wanted to punish Confederate leaders for their crimes during the war and embrace equality among the country.
President Lincolns plan for Reconstruction was very different from the Radical Republicans' idea. While the Radical Republicans thought that the South should pay for what they did, President Lincoln believed that if they took an oath to the Union they should get off free.

The industrial growth boosted economic growth in parts of Europe. The industrial growth caused bankruptcy for all new factories in Europe. The new industrial technologies improved means of transportation. The industrial developments caused friction between Europe and North America.
Answers
The correct answers are A. The industrial growth boosted economic growth in parts of Europe, and C. The new industrial technologies improved means of transportation.
Explanation:
The Industrial Revolution meant the economy of European countries and later other countries around the world changed from agriculture to manufacture. This was possible due to the development of steam power use in machines, as well as production methods. Additionally, one of the effects of this revolution was the economic growth of countries in Europe as different products were manufacture massively and then sold to other nations (Option A).
Besides this, the use of steam power was key for the advance in transportation, which included trains and boats. Also, production models such as the assembly line made possible cars could be produced massively and sold to the general population. This means the Industrial Revolution improved transportation (Option C).

Answers
Answer:
The Seven Years’ War was a global military war between 1756 and 1763, involving most of the great powers of the time and affecting Europe, North America, Central America, the West African coast, India, and the Philippines. In some countries, the war is alternatively named after combats in the respective theatres: the French and Indian War (North America, 1754–63), Pomeranian War (Sweden and Prussia, 1757–62), Third Carnatic War (Indian subcontinent, 1757–63), and Third Silesian War (Prussia and Austria, 1756–63). The French and Indian War (1754–1763) is the name for the North American theatre of the Seven Years’ War. The war was fought primarily between the colonies of Great Britain and New France, with both sides supported by forces from Europe as well as American Indian allies. In 1756, the war erupted into a worldwide conflict between Britain and France. The primary targets of the British colonists were the royal French forces and the various American Indian forces allied with them.

What was an argument made by the Soviet Union concerning Allied strategy
in the war?
A. The Western Allies should invade France.
B. The Western Allies should leave the invasion of Germany to the
Soviet Union.
C. The Western Allies should focus on naval attacks.
D. The Western Allies should place troops in the Soviet Union.
Answers
Answer:
a
Explanation:
The Soviet Union argued that Western Allies should invade France, concerning Allied strategy in the war. Thus, option A is correct.
What was the Allied Strategy?The goal of the Allies' plan during World War II was to push the Germans back and topple the Nazi regime. Hitler's Germany posed the greatest threat to the Allies. The formerly ally Soviet army appeared to be on the brink of being crushed by the German army.
Due to German troops stationed on its eastern borders, the Soviet Union under Stalin was under intense strain. Hitler would have to focus on defending France, according to Stalin, and the pressure from his troops on the USSR would be reduced. Stalin also feared that Japan might invade the USSR, which was something he wanted to prevent.
Therefore, the Soviet Union wanted that the Western Allies should invade France.

The excerpt below is from "Of Mr. Booker T. Washington and Others" in The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois: Mr. Washington distinctly asks that black people give up, at least for the present, three things,— First, political power, Second, insistence on civil rights, Third, higher education of Negro youth,—and concentrate all their energies on industrial education, and accumulation of wealth, and the conciliation of the South. This policy has been courageously and insistently advocated for over fifteen years, and has been triumphant for perhaps ten years. As a result of this tender of the palm-branch, what has been the return? In these years there have occurred: 1. The disfranchisement of the Negro. 2. The legal creation of a distinct status of civil inferiority for the Negro. 3. The steady withdrawal of aid from institutions for the higher training of the Negro. These movements are not, to be sure, direct results of Mr. Washington's teachings; but his propaganda has, without a shadow of doubt, helped their speedier accomplishment. The question then comes: Is it possible, and probable, that nine millions of men can make effective progress in economic lines if they are deprived of political rights, made a servile caste, and allowed only the most meager chance for developing their exceptional men? If history and reason give any distinct answer to these questions, it is an emphatic NO. and The excerpt below is from the General Introduction to Tuskegee and Its People by Booker T. Washington: Institutions, like individuals, are properly judged by their ideals, their methods, and their achievements in the production of men and women who are to do the world's work. One school is better than another in proportion as its system touches the more pressing needs of the people it aims to serve, and provides the more speedily and satisfactorily the elements that bring to them honorable and enduring success in the struggle of life. Education of some kind is the first essential of the young man, or young woman, who would lay the foundation of a career. The choice of the school to which one will go and the calling he will adopt must be influenced in a very large measure by his environments, trend of ambition, natural capacity, possible opportunities in the proposed calling, and the means at his command. In the past twenty-four years thousands of the youth of this and other lands have elected to come to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute to secure what they deem the training that would offer them the widest range of usefulness in the activities open to the masses of the Negro people. Their hopes, fears, strength, weaknesses, struggles, and triumphs can not fail to be of absorbing interest to the great body of American people, more particularly to the student of educational theories and their attendant results. Based on these passages, what is the main difference between the teachings of W.E.B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington? Washington saw the benefits of education, and DuBois believed it conflicted with progress. Washington insisted on political and civil rights, and DuBois demanded economic progress. Washington promoted self-reliance and the gradual advancement of the black people, and DuBois supports radical change. Washington approached the problem from a capitalist point of view, and DuBois approached it from a spiritual one.
Answers
Answer:

Draw Inferences. The reading says that the relative ease with which
entrepreneurs can enter and leave markets is a benefit of the free enterprise
system of the United States. Could the same statement be made about a
country with a command economy? Why or why not? What implications
does that have for the law of supply in that country?
Answers
Answer:
A command ecomony is "commanded" by the government. If one individual had the power to just enter and leave the economy, it really wouldn't be a command economy anymore, because the entrepenueurs have the power and not the government.
If entrepeneurs can enter and leave, they dramatically change the supply and demand by lessening supplies on one side and increasing supplies on another.
This same statement cannot be made about a command economy because a command economy is one where the power to make economic decisions lies in the hands of the government alone.
The government is the one in control here. The power to just enter and leave like that of the free economy does not apply here.
Because the entrepreneurs do not have the power to just enter and leave when they like, supply and demand would not be changed like that of the free economy, where production is reduced on a side and raised on another.

The introduction of the Gutenberg press allowed for an increase in the number of books that were printed across Europe. Before the invention of the printing press, only wealthy individuals and members of the clergy had ready access to books. Almost all written works were in Latin. After 1500, however, it became easier for people to find and afford printed books. As a result, literacy rates throughout Europe spiked. The general public was able to access multiple titles across multiple subjects and read these works in their common vernacular. Through reading, people kindled a growing awareness of cultural and political trends on the continent. This shift from an illiterate to a literate public was the single most important development in Europe and was pivotal in the spread of ideas that were so important to the Renaissance and Reformation in Europe.Part C In this subtask, you will write a conclusion for your essay.
