Answer: D)Mandela was seen as a dangerous threat to the American way of life.

Explanation:

Although the African National Congress (ANC) used to practice only nonviolent actions, after the Sharpeville Massacre they shifted into violent activity, which made them be considered as a low-level guerrilla by Americans. In the context of the Cold War, U.S. foreign policy established that any insurgent organization in a capitalist country was an enemy, making Mandela and the ANC to be seen label as terrorists.

Furthermore, the Soviet Union funding the ANC was the last drop required for them to be considered as a threat to the fight against communism and, therefore, to the American way of life.

How and why did herbert embarrass schroeder

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The answer is: As he embarrassed her, it was with his words spoken in the House of Representatives in 1972, and why, because his words denote machismo, to put it mildly.

Explanation:

When Representative Patricia Schroeder arrived at the House of Representatives in 1972 and was assigned to serve on the House Armed Services Committee, her welcome was as warm as her home district, Denver, in a snowstorm. The then President F. Edward Hebert, a declared segregationist and an old Dixiecrat, had Schroeder share a seat with Rep. Ronald V. Dellums, an African-American who had been elected two years earlier. At a time during his first term, Hebert told Schroeder that if he used the parts of his female body - according to reports, Hebert used another word - more, and his mouth less, would go further on the committee.

The answer is: As he embarrassed her, it was with his words spoken in the House of Representatives in 1972, and why, because his words denote machismo, to put it mildly.
