Darwinism was always opposed at almost every level for everything he said. Genius often runs into that problem. It probably was no consolation for him that he was not alone in opposition to his ideas. I always like to tell the story about the fact that Darwin was a divinity student. I think, but I'm not sure, that he actually had a parish for a very short time. He also thought if he found fossils that suggested related creatures to his classification system that happened quickly, he would gladly say evolution was wrong. He found no such quick relationship. I admire his wife particularly, who was very devout (more so than he was). It was she who insisted he publish his findings.
Enough blab. I'm just very fond of Mr. and Mrs. Darwin.
Social Darwinism applies the survival of the fittest to the evolution to human behavior (mostly moral behaviour).
Who opposed it? Almost everyone. Social behaviourists because they thought though the idea acceptable, it did not go far enough. Needless to say religious people then and even today are horrified that God is left out of the equation.
You can see a wonderful film starring Spencer Tracy and Fredric March called Inherit the Wind which was based on the Snopes Case. It was one of the most attention getting legal cases of its generation (1925) I'm pointing out all of this to show where the opposition came from. It had then in 1925 a long history of more than 50 years of being opposed. The church I go to vehemently opposes Darwinism in any form and it is now 93 years after the Snopes Case. and more than a century since the publication of Darwin's original book.
I'm sorry this answer is so long. Had you just asked what it was, you would have gotten a single sentence answer. Since you asked who opposed it, you get much more.
Answer:
- Many of white citizens still couldn't accept the fact that they have to live alongside black citizens
- Confederate influence still strong in this area
- Economic stagnation
Explanation:
<u>- Many of white citizens still couldn't accept the fact that they have to live alongside black citizens</u>
These people spent hundred of years living in a society where their group were seen as superior to the blacks who held the status as slaves. It's impossible that their mindset could completely changed overnight. This is why even after slavery was legally abolished , many of them still treated the ex-slaves really badly.
<u>- Confederate influence still strong in this area</u>
This made a lot of Texans at that time completely ignored the instructions from the Federal government during the reconstruction and choose to listen to ex-confederate leaders instead.
-<u> Economic stagnation</u>
Abolishment of slavery destroyed Texans economy. This caused a lot of unemployment that lead to resentment toward the Federal government.
This is the current status. Canada: 9,984,670 sq km
The answer is a.) True.
Japan is an island country made up of several other islands.
The Battle of Midway gave the allies an advantage in the pacific. This is because the US forces there destroyed four aircraft carriers, causing major damage to Japanese naval air forces to the point they couldn’t replace them in time before the war ended.
Here are why the other answers are incorrect:
The island of Midway was actually under US control before the attack, and was too far from Japan for attacks to be held there. However, it was a crucial airbase that had to be kept for control of the local region.
The Japanese took a few more years to surrender, but some historians consider this battle to be a turning point in the pacific campaign.
The majority of carriers were not destroyed at midway, but as stated above, the destruction of four proved to be a crucial victory, since the Japanese couldn’t replace them in a timely manner.
Hope this helps!
