Answer: A) The government was in debt.
Explanation: After the American Revolution, the newly formed country was in debt after fighting the British. The debt eventually grew to $75 Million (equal to $2,198,616,477.27 today) and continued to grow up until Andrew Jackson shrank the nation's debt to $0.
The correct answer is:
<em>The victory for the Allies in the second World War II and the V-J, of Victory over Japan on August 14, 1945, changed the working conditions in the United States, especially for women.
</em>
World War II allowed many women to get job opportunities like never before. One industry where women started to work was in the military. The transition from home to work was not an easy one for women, basically for two factors. The first one, the challenges to be accepted in the workforce mostly dominated by men. The second one, the lack of childcare during working hours. Nevertheless, after the War, many women were fired. More than sixty percent of hired women were fired to give men the former jobs they had before the war. But women kept on working outside the home, slowly, they were gaining job spaces after the war.
After Slavery ended, the citizenship and voting rights were extended to former slaves, but it was not until a long time after that that women were granted the right to vote so the correct answer is:
<span>D. Slavery was abolished and voting rights were extended to all male citizens</span>
the abolition of slavery was the 13th Amendment, and the 15th Amendment extended the voting rights.
During World War II there were two sides: the Allies, which the US were a part of, which included, among others, UK, France, Soviet Union (after 1941), and the allies (Germany, Japan, Italy and their puppet states).
So the answer can be any of the allies: UK, France, Soviet Union but also the whole of Latin America, most of Africa and Asia.
Fundamentalism and nativism had a significant affect on American society during the 1920's. Fundamentalism consists of the strict interpretation of the bible. This was especially relevant for those who were considered Christians. These fundamentalists used the bible to guide their actions throughout the 1920's. A perfect example of this would be the increased amount of charity work done by Christians to help the urban poor. Creating Sunday schools for children and providing shelter/food shows how they interpreted the importance of service based on the reading of the bible.
Nativism, on the other hand, focuses on the idea of "Americans first." Nativists greatly disliked immigrants, as they felt they were stealing job from native born Americans (hence the name, nativists). This caused a sense of fear and paranoia in American society. The first Red Scare and the court case of Sacco and Vanzetti are perfect examples of how "un-American" views caused American citizens to act irrationally towards people from other countries.
