Answer: Massive Contribution to Education.
Explanation:
The G I Bill will forever be considered one of the best pieces of legislature passed by the United States.
The idea came about as a result of the realization that the mistakes of the nation by not reintegrating the veterans of World War 1 should not be repeated in WW2. This led President Roosevelt to sign into law, the benefits now known as the GI Bill.
The original bill which was called, the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 helped Veterans so much by building hospitals and giving low mortgage loans. The biggest Contribution however, was the contribution to Education.
The US Government stepped in the pay all educational expenses for veterans regardless of which school accepted them. This drove over 7 million veterans to apply to schools and get their degrees.
The so called 'Greatest Generation' had a large proportion of them educated through this scheme.
It is said that before WW2, many Americans did not have a high school diploma and the situation today came about in a large part due to the GI Bill.
The Education that was gained by these veterans contributed a great deal to the progress of the nation and humanity at large as evidenced by it's production of 14 Nobel Prize winners, 3 presidents and multiple Senators and Pulitzer Price winners.
What makes a third or fourth wave of feminism different from the first two?
The First Wave is your Susan B Anthony/Marie Stopes era stuff, seeking to redress a variety of manifest injustices, most notably the right to vote. It started in the 19th century and could be said to have ended with the right to vote in the 1920s (in the US).
The Second Wave started in the 1960s, though "feminism" never really stopped from the First Wave. This was the Betty Friedan/Gloria Steinem era; it was also called "Women's Liberation". It focused on expanding women's roles from the traditional wife-and-mother thing to, well, everything else: the right to equal pay for equal work (and in any job), the right to do what they wanted with their bodies, an end to all sorts of sexism and discrimination. I would say that it ended with the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment, part of an anti-feminist backlash that eventually turned to infighting. It was, however, hugely successful in advancing the rights of women to be treated equally in work, in politics, at school, and in society at large.
The Third Wave is more nebulous. It doesn't have a strong legislative agenda, and the key players are less likely to be household words. It could be said to have begun as soon as the Second Wave ended, trying to pursue remaining legal injustices, but it seems to me to be more about expanding and questioning received notions of gender and gender roles. It is more abstract and less politically focused; it's more academic and post-modern. I'd say that the political aspects of it are really Second Wave feminism continuing to work on the remaining problems.
The Fourth Wave is a Quora board. It's not really a broader movement at all (yet), except as an attempt to try to get past some of the divisiveness and lack of focus that marked Third Wave feminism. It seeks to solve the remaining very real issues that gender still leaves in our nation, as well as the rest of the world, much of which still hasn't benefited from the gains of the First Wave.

Why did the Gore campaign support manual recounts in Florida and the Bush campaign oppose it?
Answer:
The Gore campaign wanted manual recounts so they could selectively report votes for Gore
Explanation:
In the presidential election 2000, Bush and Gore knew that election victory is depend on Florida and its 29 electoral vote. But they also know that the results are contradictory. However, no one seemed to be doing it this way the 2 candidates won nearly 49% of the state 6 million votes, which fell short of 1,784 ballot for the BushThe difference is less than 0.5%, so Florida law needs to be repeated in counties where margins are compressed. After 2 day and the automatic recount is still at the forefront, but not so much: his winning margin has been reduced to just 327 votes, with reports of fraud and manipulation in the ballot rising. Florida law requires that stringent and long-term manual calculation be opened if the difference is less than 0.25%. The numbers liked him and Gore soon requested four counties. Catherine Harris, the Republican nominee's brother close to Florida Secretary of State and then Governor Bush, has allegedly failed to find reason to continue counting. He was born in Florida to George W. Bush. Bush was declared the winner and eventually made a name for himself in the state votes needed for the presidency. Gore did not behave wisely: he appealed to the Florida Supreme Court to obtain an injunction for this purpose. But the next day, the U.S. Supreme Court intervened and ordered the suspension of the recount and, therefore, Bush became the new tenant of the White House. Since then, this election is a bad memory for Florida, which has damaged its reputation nationally due to doubts over the ability of local authorities.In 4-5 sentences, describe the Atlantic Slave Trade and the

evaluate the extent to which the institution of slavery changed in the period from 1754 to 1850?
Answer:
e
Explanation:
Slavery was a huge part of American society in the 1800s. Several states made use of slaves to work, however, as the American Revolution approached, slavery started to decrease in popularity in the 1800s as many Northern states opposed slavery, creating a great change in what seemed to be a non-ending movement.
What happened to slavery in the 1700s and 1800s?Northern states abolished slavery in the late 1700s and early 1800s. And Southern critics, including slave owners such as Thomas Jefferson, arose in the Upper South.
While some founders believed that slavery would last forever, most foresaw its demise. At the time of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, slavery was declining in the Northern states, and Virginia and Maryland also became less dependent on slave labour. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 kept slavery out of territories North of the Ohio River, and the U.S.
The Constitution allowed for an end to the importation of slaves in 1808 though the framers were careful to do so without using the word slave.
