Answer is eroded.  After seeing the number of casualties and the number of atrocities committed in Vietnam, support for the war dropped.  Public outcry and protest against the war increased and this led to the U.S. withdrawal and Vietnam being unified under communist rule.

Correct answer:  ERODED

Some people argue that television coverage of the Vietnam War <u>eroded</u> American public support for the war.

Detail:

The number of American households that owned a television set rose dramatically in the 1960s.  In the 1950s, less than 10% of homes had a TV, but by 1966 that had risen to 93% of households.  Most Americans now were getting their news from television, and Walter Cronkite was the most trusted anchorman on TV news.  When the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong launched the Tet Offensive in 1968, Cronkite, known as "the most trusted man in America," offered a television editorial that shaped the nation's mood.  Cronkite said in that broadcast on February 27, 1968:  "It seems now more certain than ever, that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate. To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past.  To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, if unsatisfactory conclusion. ...It is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could."

In addition to Cronkite's reporting, there were also images coming from the war front that had shown a "credibility gap" between what the US government had been saying about the war and what was actually happening there.

Answer:

1.) The correct answer is C; Catholics. In the Colonial times, the first settlement in Georgia was Savannah. This was the last colony of the original 13 to be founded in 1773. This was the only colony to have a ban on slavery from the start of the town. In addition to not allowing Catholics, they did not allow rum and lawyers.

2.) The correct answer is C; Teachers Pay was way, and farming was more profitable. Teachers did not want to come to the wilderness and teach since the pay was low and they could find higher paying jobs elsewhere. The children helped in the fields and helped to bring money to the homes of the parents and town. The families most likely thought their children would earn more money being farmers. Schools did open but it took 16 years before this would occur.

3.) The correct answer is B; Georgians had more leisure time. Because they owned big farms and then saw a gold rush in their area. They had hired help and then began to have more free time on their hands.

4.) The correct answers are B & C; the gateway to the backcountry was Augusta and Backcountry settlers only had themselves to reply on for survival. Since Savannah was remote at the beginning of the settlement, the men had to rely on ways to get their crops plants, hunt for food, and feed their children. Augusta was a larger city and had numerous professionals live there, which helped turn Savannah into a thriving community after a few years.

Hope this helps!
