In the Northeast, industrialization was huge tot he economy of the northeast. The short growing season meant that the people needed some way to make money during the colder months. Manufacturing was a perfect fit. It would bring about greater specialization and allow for more goods to be created faster and at a cheaper price by fewer people. This meant the common laborer with no real set of skills could gain employment running a machine or performing one certain task everyday for their entire shift. The business owners also benefited. They could employ workers at a very cheap price. They would also employ women and children at an even cheaper price. This push for work led many people to leave farms and go to the cities where the factories were. This migration led to many cities to be overwhelmed and overpopulated. This led to diseases and sickness to be easily spread. Housing was hard to find and resulted in the creation of tenement housing. 
The common laborers while benefiting from steady work also suffered from terrible work conditions. Many of them doing the same monotonous work often led to terrible accidents. Some workers would lose fingers, arms, or legs. Those even more unfortunate would lose their lives. The laborers also had to work long shifts, usually a minimum of 12 hours. Hygiene in the factories, especially meat factories was anything but sanitary and acceptable (See Upton Sinclair's The Jungle). 
Industrialization and the benefits or problems really depends upon which side you were on. Consumers and business owners saw the benefits outweighing the problems. Cheaper prices and goods that more easily attainable allowed them to over look some of the "problems." Laborers however may have viewed it initially as a good thing until the realization that they could be forever damaged or dead. However, often by that point, they were in despite need of a job to care for their families that they had to take the job despite the dangers. 

The South saw little need to industrialize. Some manufacturing was set up, but it was small scale. The money was in the farming of cash crops like tobacco or cotton.

Which of the following events could have occurred as a human survival strategy during the last ice age ?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Earliest humans to live in Europe were able to survive the last Ice Age period that was a characterized by ferocious change in the climate that covered the continent in a thick layer of ice. Stone age blacksmiths during this period survived through the masterly and use of fire to make tools as a survival strategy while old cultures died and new ones emerged over thousands of years, where the hunter-gatherer populations ebbed and flowed. The hunting of animals and gathering of wild fruit and berries eventually led to adoption of pastoral, farming cultures that arrived in Europe from the Middle East around 8,000 years ago.

Lana71 [14]
The letters by Dr. Martin Luther King Junior addressed people and inspired people by mentioning the "legal" acts done by Adolf Hitler in Germany and "illegal" freedom movement in Hungary. He wanted the audience to understand and differentiate between justice and injustice caused by the governments themselves, and he inspired people to take action. He called the step as "urgent" and motivated people to stop segregation and unite and take action against it. He used simplified language to sow the actual intentions of the non-violent measures taken by the white people, which were causing injustice to the non-whites.

Explain how a map of the missions can be an example of the human-environment interaction.
Rom4ik [11]
Missions tended to be located near running rivers or larger streams. They also tended to choose areas with larger flat areas that would be good for farming. Farming was important as this would be one the main ways that the missionaries fed themselves and what they taught willing Native American converts. Missions appear during the time when we had to adapt and adjust to the environment around them. They didn't have the ability to adjust the environment to their needs.

The TWO sentences that describe the context in which Napoleon rose to power are the following: The Directory was inefficient, unpopular, and unable to bring stability to France and Napoleon was ambitious and temporarily allied with two members of the Directory to gain power.

Napoleon, a strong military leader that had proven his value in the battlefield, had the character and experience needed to step in as the ruler of France under the context of a weak and inefficient Directory. He had what it took to establish stability to France. Napoleon was very astute and wit, full of ambition to increase his power and presence in the nation, and those characteristics drove him to reach the pinnacle of power in France.
