Why might Senator McCarthy have chosen to use this quote to support his claims?

History
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

These words come from Senator Joseph McCarthy's speech that he made in Wheeling, West Virginia on February 9, 1950. It represents a major shift in early Cold War tensions and the beginning of the Red Scare.

For the few years preceding this speech, most Cold War anxieties were focused abroad. Communism was considered a threat from the Soviet Union (and China, to a certain extent). In this speech, McCarthy insinuated that the threat was already in the United States. Without ever providing evidence, he claimed to know of many secret Communists embedded within the federal government, particularly in the State Department.

President Truman had already suggested that there could be the possibility of Communists within the government. In 1947, Truman expanded the Hatch Act to create a loyalty program as a bulwark against the threat of Communists in the government. With his speech and later accusations, McCarthy said that Truman's efforts were inadequate.

Put these events related to relocation of native Americans into chronological order
lesya692 [45]

The correct chronology would be as follows:

The US government establishes the office of Indian trade. In 1806, Congress created the Office of Indian Trade, an office in charge of supervising the network of public Indian trading factories that the US had from 1795 to 1822.  This office was closed in 1822 because of cases of corruption.

The Choctaw sign the treaty of dancing rabbit creek. The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was a treaty signed in 1830 between the Choctaw Nation and the United States. This was the first removal treaty put into effect under the Indian Removal Act passed by President Andrew Jackson that same year. As a consequence of this act, the Creek ceded control of large part of their territory in what today is Mississippi in exchange for land in Indian Territory, today Oklahoma.

The Supreme Court rules in Worcester v. Georgia. Worcester v. Georgia was a legal case in which Chief Justice John Marshall  ruled, in 1832, that the relationship between the American Indian Nations and the United States was that of nations; consequently, only the federal government, and not the governments of the individual states, had the power to deal with the American Indians.

The US government forces Seminole tribe to relocate from Florida to Indian territory. Per the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Seminole Nation was forced to relocate to Indian Territory. Some of the Seminoles were removed after signing the Treaty of Payne’s Landing in 1834. However, the majority of the nation declared the treaty illegitimate and refused to leave. This resulted in a struggle known as the Second Seminole War (1835–1842). As a consequence of this war, most of the Seminole Nation had to relocate from Florida to Indian Territory.

Personally, President Truman A. believed the atomic bomb should first be demonstrated to the Japanese before it was actually use
IgorC [24]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Comments

A: Not the answer. Truman understood that if the bomb failed, it would only give the Japanese more reason to continue. Their Kamikaze aircraft had taken the lives of many Americans. He also understood that if he did order the bomb to be dropped and it worked, that the Japanese may not surrender anyway.

B: He did believe that the bomb would be enough to make the Japanese surrender. Otherwise, why would he order it to be done.

C: He did believe (in the end) that atomic weapons were necessary but it was a war on civilians and that made the decision very, very difficult.

D: I don't know what relevance this choice has. He was president. He had to make the choice.  

Answer: These are not terrific choices. I guess you have to choose B

magine you are a student in a colonial town. Write three journal entries that describes a typical day in school
monitta
It would include a lot of walking. Some children had to walk miles bundled up during the winter. Most times there would only be one classroom with all ages  and grades in it. So you could write about you being a 9 year old and you got the seat next to the biggest kid in the class. You could write about recess. The kids were not as supervised as they are now. The teacher usually stayed in the classroom. You could write about lunch. Sometimes the kids walked home for lunch but most cases brought a sack lunch. Hope this helps!
