"Truman found saving the free world easier than governing America .... "By the time war broke out in Korea, the Fair Deal was ov

er, Truman had tried to accomplish too much with too little, ending up with practically nothing. Without a liberal majority in Congress there could not be much in the way of liberal legislation. "Through the Truman years domestic politics was a thing of rags and patches, a time when problems were ignored, programs shelved, and partisanship allowed to run rampant. Yet a recent history of the period 1945-1950 is called The Best Years because that is how they were remembered."
-William L. O'Neill, historian, American High, 1986

Answer:

passing national health care insurance ( B )

Explanation:

Passing national health care insurance was a problem that was shelved by the congress during the fair deal program. president Truman proposed the establishment of a universal and very effective healthcare system as part of his fair deal reforms but the congress did not pass the bill so the action was shelved.

The proposal made by president Truman although failed was a stepping stone for other presidents like president Bill Clinton and Barack Obama who followed in his ideas to setup universal health care insurance system for the American people.

Answer:

b. Passing national health care insurance.

Explanation:

This is an example of a problem during this administration that was shelved, and that never came to fruition. President Truman had proposed a national healthcare plan to Congress in 1945. However, this was never realized. This attempt for universal healthcare was in line with the liberal reforms introduced by FDR. Although his plan was never fully realized, it did open the door for presidents such as Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama who passed legislation related to healthcare.

In what ways did the Black Codes enact legal discrimination after the Civil War?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Black codes denied the blacks the rights to testify against whites, to serve on juries or in state militias, vote.

Explanation:

The Black Codes, sometimes called Black Laws, were laws governing the conduct of African Americans (free blacks). The best known of them were passed in 1865 and 1866 by Southern states, after the American Civil War, in order to restrict African Americans' freedom, and to compel them to work for low wages.

Immediately after the Civil War ended, Southern states enacted "black codes" that allowed African Americans certain rights, such as legalized marriage, ownership of property, and limited access to the courts, but denied them the rights to testify against whites, to serve on juries or in state militias, vote.

Even as former slaves fought to assert their independence and gain economic autonomy during the earliest years of Reconstruction, white landowners acted to control the labor force through a system similar to the one that had existed during slavery.

Discuss a number of similarities between Mesoamerican cultures and early river valley civilizations.
love history [14]
Some of the earliest Mesoamerican cultures included the Olmecs, the Mayas, and the Aztecs.  The Olmecs lived near the Gulf of Mexico, in “swampy, lowland river valleys.”  Water drains made out of stone, hieroglyphic writings, and a calendar, were a few of their achievements.  The Mayas lived in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico today.  Their priests were extremely good mathematicians and astronomers.  They developed a system of mathematics with 20 as the base, accurate calendars, and were the first Native Americans that developed a writing system.  The Aztecs lived in Central Mexico.  They were a very advance civilization with a network of canals, bridges, and causeways.  Some of their achievements included chinampas, artificial floating islands used for farming, and a calendar.
