Answer: C. the lies of American leaders about involvement in Vietnam.
Explanation:
Daniel Ellsberg was the military analyst who leaked "The Pentagon Papers" to the American press in 1971, revealing top secret information about US planning and decision-making in regard to the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War had a major impact in shifting public opinion toward distrust of government. During the Vietnam War, a major credibility gap became apparent in regard to what the government was telling the American public vs. what was actually taking place. The term "credibility gap" was used by journalists who questioned the optimistic picture that the Lyndon Johnson administration painted regarding how the war was going, when investigative reporting showed a much more negative reality.
The credibility gap grew especially apparent when the Pentagon Papers (classified documents) were leaked to the press in 1971, showing that the government indeed had been deceiving the public about the plans and conduct of the war over the years.
Answer:
No, Buchanan's victory was not a landslide one.
Explanation:
James Buchanan was the 15th President of the United States, elected on November 4, 1856. In that election he defeated John C. Fremont, of the Republican Party, and Millard Fillmore, of the Know Nothing Party.
In the popular vote, he obtained 45.28% of the votes, compared to 33.11% for Fremont and 21.54% for Fillmore. He obtained a greater distance in the electoral vote, but in no way was it a huge difference, but rather a fairly balanced electoral contest between the different participating forces. Therefore, in no way can it be said that his triumph was a landslide victory.
<span>I can't say I know much about the history of Buddhism, but I think I know something about the practice itself. Christianity is a religion of action - a religion that speaks out and acts out. It's a religion that goes to war and asserts itself to gain followers and prove points. From what I understand about Buddhism, it is a 'passive' religion. It is a system of belief that stands on meditation and response rather than reaction. I haven't really heard of any Buddhist groups starting wars, fighting in battles, and singing in victory. Their triumph comes in quiet ways whereas it seems that Christianity triumphed in loud and obvious ways.</span>
