“Plainly, the central idea of secession is the essence of anarchy.” In his First Inaugural Address, Abraham Lincoln explained why his duty as the newly-elected president required him to treat secession as an act of rebellion and not a legitimate political action. Nothing less than the survival of self-government was at stake. As the duly elected president, Lincoln believed that majority rule constrained by “constitutional checks” and informed by public opinion was “the only true sovereign of a free people.” Rule by any other principle would lead to chaos or despotism. Moreover, Lincoln thought the union of the American states was perpetual, and that it could not be “peaceably unmade by less than all the parties who make it.”

The Great Depression was known as the worst economic period in history. The Great Depression was caused by the stock market crash of October 1929. It was also a cause of the federal government and their relativity. After the crash of the stock market, there was a loss of about 90% of value between the years of 1929 and 1933. There was a great deal of effects on U.S. citizens caused by the Great Depression. Unemployment rates rose to 25%, leaving people without jobs, and without jobs they could not support their families. The housing prices had dropped 67%, and homelessness rates skyrocketed. The American banking system collapse, and industrial production began dropping. These are only a few example of the many. In order to pick up and fix what the Great Depression caused, President Roosevelt created what is called the New Deal, which helped many people to get back on their feet. The New Deal was a group of domestic policies, a series of programs, and financial reforms. It was enacted in the United States between the years of 1933 and 1939. The New Deal had drastically expanded the role of the federal government in response to the Great Depression.

The correct answer is that it was about deterring the soviets from all out war by threatening a full nuclear response to any aggressive act.

Basically, what this means is that they announced that if there was even a slight possibility that the Soviets would attack them or if they did attack them, they would go full on with nukes on them and would not think about repercussions. This was later reverted as anyone with a clear head understood that nukes were not a good option.
