When they traveled, they carried cheap luggage, which were called carpetbags. They were mass produced during this time (reconstruction era) and therefore, the many people coming down with them from the north were referred to derisively as carpetbaggers.

How did US leaders think people would respond to a military draft during world war 1
Nuetrik [128]

US leaders were nervous that the imposition of a military draft could meet with strong opposition. However, because they approached the draft in a way that did not play favorites, the country accepted the draft process.

During the Civil War, when Congress enacted a draft to supply soldiers to fight for the Union army, riots broke out in New York City. A provision of the Civil War draft allowed wealthier men to avoid being drafted by paying a fee that would hire a substitute to go to war for them. This was seen as anti-democratic and unfair to lower class working men.

The draft instituted during World War I was carried out with a greater sense of equity and fairness. Writing for the Smithsonian, Annika Lundeberg explains: "President Wilson's Selective Service Act of 1917 differed from the Civil War's conscription act of 1863 in that those who were drafted could neither purchase an exemption nor hire a substitute to take their places. Exemptions and substitutions during the Civil War were unpopular with many, as only the wealthy could afford to evade military service. With the option of substitution off the table, the Selective Service Act was more acceptable to many during the Great War."

evaluate how the french, including marshal phillepe petain, view the Vichy regime that he led from 1940 to 1944
Helga [31]

Answer:

The French, including Marshal Philippe Petain, who led the Vichy Regime between 1940 and 1944, viewed the Vichy Regime as a German imperial authoritative government.

Explanation:

The Vichy Regime was hated by all french people.  In addition to being an authoritarian regime, it censored the press, prohibited divorce, and made abortion a capital offense in France.  As an unpopular imperial regime, the Vichy government also arrested and deported 13,000 Jews to Gestapo camps, including 4,000 children.  The french so much hated the German government that was imposed on their nation, including the German troops that flooded the french streets, that at the end of the war in 1945, the collaborators of the regime were punished with death or imprisonment.
