What did Hoover do to try to alleviate the Great Depression?

1 answer:

8 0

As a result, he responded to the economic crisis with a goal of getting people back to work rather than directly granting relief. In October 1930, he established the President's Emergency Committee for Employment (later renamed the President's Organization for Unemployment Relief) to coordinate the efforts of local welfare agencies.

As the Great Depression worsened, however, charitable organizations were simply overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem, and Hoover tried new ideas to stimulate the economy:

The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) (1932) provided railroads, banks, and other financial institutions with money for loans.The Glass-Steagall Act (1932) made getting commercial credit easier and released $750 million in gold reserves for additional business loans.The Emergency Relief and Construction Act (1932) provided funds to the RFC to make loans for relief to the states and included additional money for local, state, and federal public works projects.

Hey there! Welcome to Brainly! I'm happy to help!

This looks a bit like a fill in the blank. I'll rewrite it below with some blanks. I will also number the blanks so I can write the answers without having to rewrite everything! :D

In April 1865, General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia escaped from the cities of Petersburg and 1)___________. Lee wanted to reinforce his army at 2)__________. Union forces followed Lee for an 88-mile stretch along the 3)________ River in Virginia. At first, the Confederates successfully fought off a 4)______________ led by General Sheridan. However, the Union infantry quickly arrived to intercept them again. On April 9, Lee's army was surrounded on all sides by Union troops. Seeing that escape was no longer possible, Lee decided to surrender.

April 9, 1865 is a very famous time because it's when the Civil War essentially ended when Robert E Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia.

First, we want to find the other city Lee escaped from. The Confederate capital was Richmond, so this was most likely a big union target. So, it makes total sense that they would escape from here.

Next, we need to find where he reinforced his army. The last Virginian city to be captured by the Union soldiers was Lynchburg. So, where do you think Lee would go? You got it, Lynchburg!

Now, we need to find the river that the Union soldiers followed the confederates on. Well, we know that Lee surrendered at Appomattox courthouse. Turns out, there's also an Appomattox river, and this is the exact same one that Lee was chased along the banks of.

Finally, we need to see what Lee's army fought off at first. Sheridan is known for many things but one of them is basically using a union cavalry to to fend Lee off. It also says the answer in the next sentence: the Union infantry quickly arrived...

Therefore, here are your answers!

1) Richmond

2) Lynchburg

3) Appomattox

4) Union Cavalry/Infantry

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Two of the most important reformers in the early 16th century were themselves Catholic priests and trained theologians: Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam in Holland, who worked to reform the Roman Catholic Church from within, and Martin Luther in Germany, who eventually broke with it.

Explanation:

Martin Luther is the father of Protestantism. In 1517 he published 95 theses that cuestioned the dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church and some of its practices such as the selling of papal bulls and indulgences. He said that the ultimate authority in religious matters belongs to the Bible and that salvation comes from faith only. Luther started the Reformation that led to the split of Western Christianity.

Why did thousands of african americans enlist in the union army and navy after the emancipation proclamation?

Basile [38]

African Americans enlisted in the union because they finally had the rights/freedom to do so. The union was fighting to end slavery, so of course they wanted to help fight for their brothers and sisters. Hope this helps you:)
