The correct options are:

  • South Vietnam was in danger of losing the war.
  • South Vietnam was receiving increasing amounts of US military aid.

Lyndon Baines Johnson, known by his initials, LBJ, was the thirty-sixth President of the United States, who took office after the death of his predecessor John F. Kennedy in 1963 and which he held until 1969.

What finally triggered the US total intervention in the Vietnam War was a meeting held by Johnson with his advisors on July 21, 1964. In it he tried to devise a way to force the Saigon government to fight instead of negotiate, but the prevailing opinion was that the withdrawal of the resident advisers in the country would not achieve that, but the quick conquest by Hanoi. The direct intervention, the presidential advisors thought, would be very long, costly and bloody because the South is a country little interested in its survival.

President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered the USS Ticonderoga and USS Constellation vessels to retaliate against the North Vietnamese fleet on August 5. Whether or not any of the attacks were true, the incident legitimized Johnson to request and obtain from Congress on August 6 the so-called Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. This resolution would confer full powers for the military advisers present in Vietnam to conduct operations outside the precincts of their bases, in addition to increasing the number of troops in that country, to be in the election campaign Johnson needed to show an image of strength against communism.

How did the Northwest Ordinance influence the expansion of the United
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

D. It outlawed slavery in the Northwest Territory.

Explanation:

The Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 both encouraged settlement in the United States of America.

On the 20th of May, 1785 the United States Congress of the Confederation adopted the Land Ordinance of 1785. The Land Ordinance of 1785 enabled settlers in the underdeveloped west of the United States of America to purchase title to farmlands due to the fact that US Congress could not generate revenue through direct taxation.

Also, the United States Congress of the Confederation adopted and enacted the Northwest Ordinance on the 13th of July, 1787 which allowed new states to join the union from the Northwest Territory, as well as listing the bill of rights guaranteed.

In Art 6 of the Northwest Ordinance, it was stated that there shall be no more slavery or involuntary servitude in the Northwest Territory.  

<em>Hence, the Northwest Ordinance influenced the expansion of the United States of America because it outlawed slavery in the Northwest Territory and protected civil liberties or freedom such as habeas corpus, due process, freedom of religion, trial by jury, etc.</em>

Answer:

The 1920s were a period of dramatic changes. More than half of all Americans now lived in cities and the growing affordability of the automobile made people more mobile than ever. Although the decade was known as the era of the Charleston dance craze, jazz, and flapper fashions, in many respects it was also quite conservative. At the same time as hemlines went up and moral values seemed to decline, the nation saw the end of its open immigration policy, the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, and the trial of a Tennessee high‐school teacher for teaching evolution.

The Red Scare and immigration policy. In the first few years after World War I, the country experienced a brief period of antiradical hysteria known as the Red Scare. Widespread labor unrest in 1919, combined with a wave of bombings, the Communists in power in Russia, and the short‐lived Communist revolt in Hungary, fed the fear that the United States was also on the verge of revolution. Under the direction of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, thousands of suspected radicals were arrested in 1919 and 1920; those that were aliens were deported. Although the Red Scare faded quickly after 1920, it strengthened the widespread belief in a strong connection between foreigners and radicalism. The bias against foreigners was exemplified in the Sacco and Vanzetti trial. Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were Italian‐born, self‐admitted anarchists who, in 1920, were indicted for robbery and murder in Massachusetts; they were found guilty and sentenced to death in July 1921. Their supporters claimed that they were convicted for their ethnic background and beliefs rather than on conclusive evidence. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed in August 1927 after all their appeals were exhausted.
