Answer:
In 1869, John Barkley Dawson came to the Vermejo Valley looking for a place to homestead. He found it 5 1/2 miles upstream from the settlement of Colfax and paid $3,700 to Lucien B. Maxwell for the deed, finalizing the verbal deal with a handshake.
After settling on his land, Dawson found coal on his property. Scraping chunks of coal from the surface of his farmland, he burned it in his stove rather than using wood. At first, his neighbors thought he was a little crazy, but out of curiosity, several asked for samples and were pleased with the results, so much so that Dawson began to sell the coal to his neighbors.
Lucien B. Maxwell
In 1870 Lucien B. Maxwell sold his interest in the Maxwell Land Grant. The property was quickly sold two more times over the next two years and in 1872 it was in the hands of a Dutch Firm who was aggressively looking for ways to exploit the resources of the grant. The grant owners immediately attempted to extract rents from many of the squatters living on the grant; however, they often had no way of knowing who was a legal owner and who was not. When they found out that the Dawson land was heavily laced with coal, they wanted to develop the vein and attempted to evict Dawson. Dawson was ready to fight ready to settle the matter with six-guns, but later he consented to settle the matter in the courts. Dawson admitted that his transaction with Maxwell in 1869 was purely verbal; stating that a promise and a handshake was the way Maxwell had always done business. The life and death of Dawson as a coal town could be described as an inevitable spiral. Explain each of the following circumstances that existed in Dawson and how they contributed to its extinction as a town: the process of coal mining, a decrease in the demand for coal, new technology, labor strikes, and the Southern Pacific Railroad.

If you are referring to the period of reconstruction after the Civil War, then the answer would be yes. At this time, much of the North was not only structurally stable, but economically as well due to the fact that the North had more industrial areas with which to produce goods faster, plus did not have to pay the reparations that the South did after the war. Much of the areas in the North were converted into war time factories which were able to produce things like guns and ammunition quicker than the South during the Civil War, and was just as easy to convert back to civil factories which would produce the steel needed to rebuild what was lost during the war. Along with the fact of many more opportunities were offered in the North at this time with there being an influx of work for both the urban and rural areas which meant that one could work in a factory, be a farmer, or whatever they chose to be, versus in the South where much of the work was mainly rural and only were able to offer jobs such as farming and ranching.
Henry Wallace's description of American foreign policy was somewhere between the positions of President Truman and Soviet ambassador Novikov. Wallace acknowledged that America's policy was an attempt to establish and safeguard democracy in other nations. But he also noted that attempts to do so in Eastern Europe would inevitably be seen by the Soviets as a threat to their security, even as an attempt to destroy the Soviet Union.
President Truman's position (as stated in the speech in March, 1947, in which he laid out the "Truman Doctrine"), was that those who supported a free and democratic way of life had to oppose governments that forced the will of a minority upon the rest of society by oppression and by controlling the media and suppressing dissent.
Soviet ambassador Nikolai Novikov went as far as to accuse the Americans of imperialism as the essence of their foreign policy, in the telegram he sent sent to the Soviet leadership in September, 1946.
Henry Wallace had been Vice-President of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1941-1945, prior to Harry Truman serving in that role. When Truman became president after FDR's death, Wallace served in the Truman administration as Secretary of Commerce. After his letter to President Truman in July, 1946, and other controversial comments he made, Truman dismissed Wallace from his administration (in September, 1946). Truman and Wallace definitely did not see eye-to-eye on foreign policy, especially in regard to the Soviet Union.
