The correct option is "Few children knew how to read printed material."

The care of war orphans was an important function for local organizations, as well as for the state and local government. A typical state was Iowa, where the private "Association of Iowa Soldiers' Orphanages" operated with funds from the legislature and public donations. Orphanages were created in Davenport, Glenwood and Cedar Falls. The state government financed the pensions of the widows and children of soldiers. Orphan schools were created to provide housing, care and education for the orphans of civil war soldiers. They became a matter of state pride, orphans were exhibited around demonstrations to show the power of a patriotic education.

What events are responsible for the failure of the United States to enter a "golden age" after Johnson's 1964 victory and the pa
arlik [135]

Answer:

The failure of the United States to enter a "Golden Age" after Johnson's 1964 victory and the passage of the Civil Rights Act was the Vietnam War.

Explanation:

The war in Vietnam was the longest in American history. It was an experience of failure and frustration for the country, constituting, without a doubt, the most serious failure of the United States in the Cold War.

There was a curious discrepancy in the external environment, where this war was a huge defeat for the country, and the internal environment, where the passage of the Civil Rights Act implied a social progress never seen before in the history of the United States.
