The US government took several actions to stop the spread of communism including:
A) Giving financial aid to countries in hopes that they would not be taken over by the Soviet Union. In the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan, the US gives aid to several different European countries after World War II. Between the two laws, the US gave over $13 billion to these countries to ensure their economic stability.
B) The US government was willing to get involved in several different wars- The US government supported South Korea and South Vietnam in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The reasoning behind this was they wanted to stop South Korea and Vietnam from falling under the control of the communist governments of North Korean and Vietnam.
The correct answer is: "Rousseau"
The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe and was constituted by philosophers that promoted freedom and reason over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and not in absolute monarchs or tyrant rulers "appointed by God". The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.
The principle of the social contract was developed by Rousseau. He promoted democratic freedoms and rights for citizens in opposition to tyrant monarchs that occupied most goverments at the time. But he did not support the predominance of reason. Instead he prefered to enhance decision making methods that included feelings and emotions, and not only scientific laws.
Answer:
I believe it was not possible to avoid the civil war. If it was avoidable, the north and south would have split into two different countries. Since the two are right next to each other, there would have been constant clashes and disagreements. The southern white would have not cooperate with the north to negotiate giving any slaves rights. As I said, war could have been pushed aside, back ultimately come back as the heat between the north and south would be much greater, creating a much more bloodier of a war than it was originally.
