Why was federal land grant legislation so contentious?

History
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago

The federal land grant legislation or homesteading was so contentious because the Northerners and Republicans had different views with the Southern Democrats, as the Southern Democrats wanted slaveholders to be the only people allowed to land while Northerners and Republicans wanted individual farmers to settle on the land.

Because of this, they separate the government branches into 3, the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judiciery.
Creating inferior courts is a way for the legislative branch of the government to checks and limit the power of the judiciery branch of the government.</span>

In the era immediately following the coup that overthrew Jacobo Árbenz in 1954, how did the United States maintain its influence
Archy [21]

Answer:

A CIA appointee headed the new dictatorship

Explanation:

As the Cold War heated up in the 1950s, the United States made decisions on foreign policy with the goal of containing communism. To maintain its hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, the U.S. intervened in Guatemala in 1954 and removed its elected president, Jacobo Arbenz, on the premise that he was soft on communism.

The threat of communism spreading throughout Latin America gave the CIA the support to overthrow the Guatemala government without disrupting the United Fruit Company and their products.
