Middle class: Composed mostly by farmers who lived modestly growing cotton and corn.

Poor whites: Did not possess slaves and struggled for a survivor.

Free black people: They usually bought they own freedom with money they saved.

Can the same political fate that befell Germany happen to the United States? Explain.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

(Answer below, also I'm Jewish)

Explanation:

The same political fate that befell Germany can happen to the United States. Germany did not become Nazi Germany overnight, it happened over the course of several years after worldwide embarrassment in WWI. It was created out of ignorance, anger, mis-blame, and more. America currently stands on eggshells. Our country is split politically in half and it is built on racism, antisemitism, ignorance, and a lack of care for humanity and the environment (not to mention our government is corrupt). When Trump was in charge we were easily on our way to Nazi Germany, we even had similar events happen, such as forcing patriotic learning in our elementary schools (Trump youth and Hitler youth).

Okay you said to keep it short. So this is the shortest I can do lol. Just edit a few words out if you submit.

Also side note: Our country is being indifferent to the genocide happening in China... just saying.

Indifference is a disease. (Watch Elie Wiesel's (A Holocaust survivor) Perils of Indifference speech)
