mandatory hiring of people with physical or mental limitations
land, mineral, and water rights to be returned to Native Americans
health insurance for retired Americans and an end to age discrimination
public buildings to provide access for people with physical or mental limitations
Disability rights organizations supported laws requiring public buildings to provide access for people with physical or mental limitations.
They wanted to forbid discrimination against people with disabilities in all spheres of public life, including employment, education, transportation, and all public and private locations that are accessible to the general public. Making sure that people with disabilities have the same opportunities and rights as everyone else have been their goal. Thus they demand that people with disabilities have the same civil rights protections as people who are discriminated against because of their race, color, sex, national origin, age, or religion. They wanted to ensure that people with disabilities have access to public facilities, employment opportunities, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications.

Explanation:
In at least 100 words, describe how Thomas Paine uses personification as a rhetorical technique in the American crisis. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.
Answer:
Thomas Paine personifies America as a woman, by referring to the nation as "her, she" etc.
Explanation:
Personification is the giving of human or living attributes to non-living things or abstract ideas. In other words, when non-human things are given human characteristics, it is not as personification.
Thomas Paine uses numerous rhetorical devices in his "American Crisis", one of which is personification. He personifies America as a woman, a lady in his statement "America did not, nor does not want force; but she wanted a proper application of that force." (The Crisis I)
He again uses this same personification in chapter II, "Perhaps you thought America too was taking a nap, and therefore chose, like Satan to Eve, to whisper the delusion softly, lest you should awaken her."
Such personifications help imagine the country as a person, and easy to relate to the issues troubling the great nation.
Answer:
In Thomas Paine's pamphlet titled The American Crisis, he makes use of many types of figurative language, but in particular, he uses personification as a rhetorical technique. First and foremost, Thomas Paine personifies America as a whole by referring to the nation with the pronouns "she" and "her," suggesting that America is feminine or a woman. This is done intentionally on the part of Thomas Paine so that he may further his message that America is one nation; therefore, the people of the nation should stand and fight together for one single cause. By suggesting that America is a woman, or rather, one single person, Paine's audience will recognize that America is not just each colony divided; it is one nation under liberty.

Which country started the Industrial Revolution, and why?
A) Germany, because it won recent wars in Europe against other great powers.
B) Russia, because it was the most powerful country in the world.
C) The United States, because it was the world’s fastest-growing country.
D) Britain, because it had a growing population and large deposits of coal and iron.
Answer:
D, Britain
Explanation:
Industrial Revolution, in modern history, the process of change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. This process began in Britain in the 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world. Although used earlier by French writers, the term Industrial Revolution was first popularized by the English economic historian Arnold Toynbee (1852–83) to describe Britain’s economic development from 1760 to 1840. Since Toynbee’s time the term has been more broadly applied.

1. What economic concerns caused the Civil War?
2. Why were the Native Americans resistant to establishing a relationship with the U.S. government after the Civil War?
Answer:
1.) A common explanation is that the Civil War was fought over the moral issue of slavery. In fact, it was the economics of slavery and political control of that system that was central to the conflict. A key issue was states' rights
2.) The new United States government was thus free to acquire Native American lands by treaty or force. Resistance from the tribes stopped the encroachment of settlers, at least for a while.

Moreno quería cambios rápidos y declarar la independencia, en cambio Saavedra quería un proceso más lento y no modificar el orden heredado de la colonia. ¿Verdadero o falso? justifica
La respuesta correcta es Verdadero.
Explanation
Cornelio Saavedra (1759-1829) fue un político rioplatense destacado por ocupar el cargo de presidente de las Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata luego de la Revolución de Mayo. Por otro lado, Mariano Moreno (1778-1811) fue un político y abogado que se destacó por sus aportes ideológicos a la Revolución de Mayo. Estos dos políticos marcaron ideologías distintas en cuanto al curso político que significaría la Revolución de Mayo en el nuevo gobierno, mientas Mariano Moreno proponía declarar la independencia e implementar cambios radicales en distintos aspectos de la sociedad. Cornelio Saavedra proponía un proceso lento en el que el único cambio que debía hacerse era el remplazo del gobierno de la colonia por criollos, manteniendo el orden heredado de la colonia. De acuerdo a lo anterior, la respuesta es Verdadero.
What happened to the Ottoman Empire after World War I?
O Its territories were divided under the Treaty of Versailles.
O It became an independent nation.
O It became a modern industrial power.
Its territories were absorbed by Italy under the Treaty of Versailles.
Answer: It's territories were divided under the Treaty of Versailles
Explanation:
Finally, after fighting on the side of Germany in World War I and suffering defeat, the empire was taken apart by treaty and came to an end in 1922, when the last Ottoman Sultan, Mehmed VI, was deposed and left the capital of Constantinople (now Istanbul) in a British warship.
France got control of southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Given Ottoman defeat in 1918 and the subsequent partitioning of the Ottoman Empire, the agreement effectively divided the Ottoman Arab provinces outside the Arabian peninsula into areas of British and French control and influence.

Explanation:
Read the paragraph.
Before the Industrial Revolution, most goods were made by hand, in peoples's homes. Workers would buy raw
materials and complete each step in the process to make a finished product. Manufacturing by hand took a
long time, and therefore, the prices for finished goods was high. Industrialization changed all that. Machines
took over the manufacturing process. These machines were much more efficient than workers creating items
by hand. This meant that many more items could be produced, drastically reducing their price, and making
them more affordable for consumers.
Which would be the best example to use to support the information in this body paragraph?
O The price of cotton cloth declined more than 50% from 1700 to 1800.
O The price of shoes doubled from 1700 to 1800.
O Fewer people owned firearms in 1800 than in 1700.
O Fewer people lived in rural areas in 1800 than in 1700.
Answer: The price of cotton cloth declined more than 50% from 1700 to 1800.
Explanation:
As a result of the Industrial Revolution, goods became cheaper because factories took over the production of goods that people had normally done in their homes. The efficiency of these factories ensured that more goods could be produced which therefore reduced the price as manufactured goods were now more widespread.
This is why the price of cotton declined by more than 50% from the 1700s which was before the Industrial Revolution to the 1800s which was after the Industrial Revolution.
