8 0

Answer:

John F. Kennedy, a wealthy Democratic senator from Massachusetts, was elected president in 1960, defeating Vice President Richard Nixon. Though he clearly won the electoral vote, Kennedy's received only 118,000 more votes than Nixon in this close election.

In his inaugural address, Kennedy said, "Let the word go forth . . . that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans-born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage." Kennedy also challenged Americans to think of ways they could serve, saying "Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country." This statement and Kennedy's enthusiasm appealed to many young idealists. But Kennedy also had won the votes of many traditional Democratic voters-members of labor unions, African Americans, and members of other ethnic groups

Explanation:

Some analysts see the 1960 election as a turning point in American politics. Following the election, some aspects of the political process seemed to have changed forever. As you examine the documents listed to the right, look for factors that made the 1960 election different from preceding elections.

Have political parties contributed to divisiveness or have they kept the country intact?​ Please Exsplain.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

They have kept the country intact

Explanation:

I think this is a very interesting question. In my opinion, I think they have kept the country intact, look at it this way. Political parties means that there exists choice for the people. Absence of political parties makes it a 1 man ruling without the necessary checks and balances. Like in that of a monarchical ruling t, or military ruling. Essentially, one can do and undo as one wishes.

Now, the advent of political parties brings choice, meaning the people can choose. In a situation where party A doesn't fulfill its political campaign promises, they are at risk of being voted out by the people for party B. Party B themselves won't sit down idle, while not in power, they wake the people up to the wrongdoings of party A.

Like I said, the presence of political parties brings choice to the people, and also creates checks and balances. So, yes, they have kept the country intact.

Examples of how changes to the railroad helped American industries to grow
schepotkina [342]
One of the main ways in which changes to the railroad helped American industries to grow is that the expansion of the rail system led to increased migration to the west, which led to more farming and agricultural output. Another would be that it led to settlements that ultimately led to business that were able to conduct business over state lines with great ease.
