Answer:

The Civil Conservation Corps was a state labor aid program for young Americans, created during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in March 1933.

Explanation:

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a program created during Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal to give work to unemployed young people meeting certain criteria: to be a single man, in good health, American citizen and to have a member of his family who receives social aid.

This program was put in place on March 31, 1933 by President Roosevelt and dissolved on June 30, 1942. It worked in concert with the Work Projects Administration. Through reforestation, erosion control and flooding, this treasury bill program employed thousands of unemployed youth across the country: 250,000 jobs were created for men from 18 to 25 years; in eight years, the CCC guaranteed a monthly salary of $30 to nearly two million young people.

The CCC, during its period of operation, restored more than 3,900 historic buildings, and developed more than 800 state parks. It traced more than 28,000 miles of trails, and also built more than 38,500 road bridges, at least 3,116 observation towers, and numerous museums and lodges.

Which of these statements is true about U. S. Constitution?

Gnoma [55]

What is a true statement about the us constitution?....well .... George Washington is not mentioned in the text of the US Constitution, however he was President of the Constitutional Convention, and a signatory to the document. George Washington became President of the United States by election a year after the constitution was ratified.

The oldest constitution still in use is the Constitution of San Marino established in 1600; nearly two centuries before the US constitution. and The US Constitution was inspired in part by the Magna Carta, but is very different in format and detail.

Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention which wrote the US Constitution; at the time he was the US Ambassador to France so had no part in writing that document..

If there was a sudden, significant event in the area (such as a volcanic eruption) then a population with higher biodiversity is more likely to contain at least 1 species which will be adapted enough to survive in the changed environment than an area with lower species diversity.<span />

Why did President Johnson believe that the U.S. military would easily defeat the Viet Cong?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because Johnson was thinking in terms of conventional warfare. He thought that because his army was larger, his air force was tougher and better trained, his navy was massively larger, the equipment provided to his troops infinitely better, there would be no contest.

He did not understand 2 things about Vietnam.

1. He forgot that the Vietnamese had been fighting the French (and beating them). The French in effect had changed the Vietnamese into battle hardened soldiers.

2. The Vietnamese fought a guerrilla style of warfare. The came the delivered hard jabs and disappeared into the night. Conventional war tools don't easily adapt to that kind of warfare.
