Answer:
The correct answers are C, <em>calling for immediate federal funding to support financial institutions troubled by bank runs</em> and D, <em>creating a series of federal programs to provide employment on public works</em>.
Explanation:
Republican President Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) firmly believed the government should not intervene in the economic field. Because of this his administration only actively fought the economical crisis in early 1932, when unemployment was around 23%.
During that year Hoover's administration got Congress to approve the creation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), an institution to financially support states' governments and financial institutions. RFC saved a few banks but not enough to ease the crisis.
In mid-1932 Hoover signed the Emergency Relief and Construction Act that liberated public funds for public works to provide employment.
Options A, B and E are wrong:
When the government worked on the housing field for low-income individuals it was not through tax cuts; (A)
it did not urge private agencies to organize relief efforts, only to not cut wages during the beginning of the crisis; (B)
on the contrary, Hoover established a moratorium on foreign debts related to World War I (1914-1918) to stop the European crisis caused by the American crisis aiming to help both economies. (E)
Answer:
The British fought a war far from home. Military orders, troops, and supplies sometimes took months to reach their destinations. The British had an extremely difficult objective. They had to persuade the Americans to give up their claims of independence. As long as the war continued, the colonists' claim continued to gain validity.
Americans had a grand cause: fighting for their rights, their independence and their liberty. This cause is much more just than waging a war to deny independence. American military and political leaders were inexperienced, but proved surprisingly competent.
The war was expensive and the British population debated its necessity. In Parliament, there were many American sympathizers. Finally, the alliance with the French gave Americans courage and a tangible threat that tipped the scales in America's favor.
