History

Answer:

Herman Talmadge was a Democrat politician. He was governor of the state of Georgia in 1947 and between 1948 and 1955. He also represented Georgia in the Senate from 1957 to 1981.

His father, Eugene Talmadge, was governor of Georgia between 1933 and 1937 and from 1941 to 1943. He once again ran for governor in Georgia in 1946 and Herman Talmadge was the campaign manager. As the supporters were worried about Eugene Talmadge's health, they made sure to get some votes his son, Herman, as a write-in candidate. Eugene Talmadge died after the election victory and then the state legislative assembly, the Georgia General Assembly, decided to choose between the candidates who came in second and third place in the election. Herman Talmadge's write-in votes were enough for a third place and he won the election in the state legislature.  

Melvin E. Thompson, who had been elected deputy governor, could not accept the procedure in the Georgia General Assembly. He felt he had the right to take over as governor. In addition, outgoing governor Ellis Arnall did not want to resign, as he felt it was still wide open who would become new governor after Eugene Talmadge's death. Thompson had appealed the decision to the Georgia Supreme Court. Arnall then agreed to support Thompson as new governor. However, Talmadge served as Georgia's 70th governor from January to March 1947. The court then ruled that Thompson was entitled to take office and the Legislative Assembly had, in the election of Herman Talmadge, violated Georgia's constitution. Thompson took over as governor and a new state election was held in 1948 to finally settle the dispute.

Herman Talmadge defeated incumbent governor Melvin E. Thompson in the general election and was elected governor on November 17, 1948.

Help please!!!!!<br><br> What does post-classical Eurasia mean?????
Solnce55 [7]
The Classical Era set the scene. It brought us the major civilizations, religions, and trade routes. But, what happens when all of the major world powers collapse? This is the Post-Classical era. The major world powers come from places you might not expect. There are some powers that are similar to the ones before and the ones after (Byzantine, China). But, the major players in the Post-Classical era come from totally backwards places. One sprouts out of a cave in the Arabian desert. The other comes from the base of a mountain on the steppes in Central Asia. I call this era, Muslims & Mongols. That's not everything, but it just about sums up the basics. (Of course, Trade, Migrations, Religion, and Labor are important...) The Post Classical Era is the FIRST era that represents 20% of the test. From here on out, these eras are worth more than the first two.

Marta_Voda [28]

The Inquisition was created in the Middle Ages (13th century) and was directed by the Roman Catholic Church. It was made up of courts that judged all those considered a threat to the doctrines (set of laws) of this institution. All suspects were persecuted and tried, and those who were convicted served sentences ranging from temporary or life imprisonment to death at the stake, where the convicts were burned alive in the public square.

The Society of Jesus was founded by Saint Ignatius of Loyola in the Counter-Reformation in the year 1534. He, together with a group of students from the University of Paris, made vows of obedience to the doctrine of the Catholic Church and was recognized by papal bull in 1540.

They soon spread to Portugal, having been requested by D. J. III as missionaries, and acquired great influence in the social environment, between the 16th and 17th centuries. The Jesuits, as they were called the members of the Society of Jesus, were dedicated to missionary and educational work, being mostly educators or confessors of the kings of the time, one of them was D. Sebastião de Portugal.
