President Truman's "Fair Deal" proposed that Congress work on:
- Expanding Social Security
- Increase minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour
- Implementing anti-discrimination policies in employment
- Addressing civil rights issues
- Expanding public housing
- Providing federal aid to education
- Establishing national health insurance
There were more proposals as well, but most of the proposals (including those noted above) did not gain any traction with Congress. Congress did extend Social Security coverage and raise the benefits, and also did raise the minimum wage. But other proposals did not go into effect.
I believe people had a really hard time comprehending the events that took place because it was so horrible it couldn'tbe real. people didn't want to believe that people could do that to other living beings. when Americans first heard about it they thought it was dramatic because how would it come to that, it took going through the concentration camps to believe it.
The correct answer is A) Slavery would be abolished in Washington DC.
The Compromise of 1850 was a critical law, as it helped to prevent the Civil War from starting in the 1850's. Due to America's expansion into the west and the newly gained territory after the Mexican American War, Northern and Southern politicians were arguing constantly over whether or not slavery will exist in these new territories.
To make both sides satisfied, Henry Clay helped to develop the Compromise of 1850.This included California becoming a free state, New Mexico and Utah using popular sovereignty to determine whether or not slavery would exist, and the slave trade would be outlawed in Washington DC. However, this law said nothing about the actual institution of slavery in DC.
