History

Alex Ar [27]3 years ago

McCarthyism was about prosecuting communists and socialists which is something that the government had no problems with. They didn't care who got caught as long as there were no communists to usurp the government or motivate the people to overthrow it since there was a big scare about communism becoming powerful.

The result was that a huge amount, the majority of people questioned, were questioned and punished while being completely innocent as it all turned out to be a contemporary witch hunt. Those blacklisted couldn't find jobs or places to live at or anything similar because the people believed McCarthy when he spoke about who a communist was.

That's an interpretive question that would ask us to get inside the mind of Lincoln from a distance a century and a half away.  We do know that Lincoln long had moral and political objections to slavery.  He had outlined some of those thoughts in a speech given in Peoria, Illinois, in 1854.  But Lincoln's views on what to do about slavery were something that took shape over time.  In the Peoria speech, he suggested that perhaps slaves should be freed in order to be returned to Africa.  But as the conflict over slavery grew and the Civil War became a reality, Lincoln became firmer in seeing this as a struggle not just over preserving the Union but also a battle for human dignity and the principle of equality.   And so in the Gettysburg Address, in 1863, he affirmed the principle stated by the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal.  The massive number of casualties at the Battle of Gettysburg certainly gave impetus to Lincoln's words about preserving the Union and government of the people, by the people and for the people.  But those ideas had been central to Lincoln's worldview before Gettysburg as well as in that speech.

For the first two-thirds of the 20th century, Algeria’s high fertility rate caused its population to grow rapidly. However, about a decade after independence from France in 1962 the total fertility rate fell dramatically from 7 children per woman in the 1970s to about 2.4 in 2000, slowing Algeria’s population growth rate by the late 1980s. The lower fertility rate was mainly the result of women’s rising age at first marriage (virtually all Algerian children being born in wedlock) and to a lesser extent the wider use of contraceptives. Later marriages and a preference for smaller families are attributed to increases in women’s education and participation in the labor market; higher unemployment; and a shortage of housing forcing multiple generations to live together. The average woman’s age at first marriage increased from about 19 in the mid-1950s to 24 in the mid-1970s to 30.5 in the late 1990s.
