The Cold War had a tremendous impact on the everyday lives of Americans. For example, students in public schools during the 1950's often had to practice "Duck and Cover" drills. These drills forced students to cover their head with their hands and to hide underneath desks. One of the reasons students practiced these drills was in case nuclear warfare between the United States and Soviet Union took place.

In the aforementioned scenario, students would be ducking and covering to protect themselves from the effects of a nuclear attack. This type of drill showed the Americans were constantly in fear of what might happen next between the US and the Soviet Union.

Dear Father,

I was so glad to receive a letter from Mother last week! I am well, but sadly some of my friends here aren’t so lucky. There have been so many frightening accidents and lives lost. Only a few days ago, a young man suffered great injuries from working on a broken machine. The workers had let the management know that the machine was faulty. But they paid no attention to the workers’ complaints. Yesterday, I received my wages. I get a dollar a week now in addition to board. I will send the money home so that you can rest for a bit from working on the farm. I hope to hear from you soon.

Love,

Jane

What was henry clay's nickname? Why do you think ue was called that?

spayn [35]

Answer:

"The Great Compromiser"

Explanation:

In order to preserve the balance of power between “free” states and “slave” states, Congress admitted Missouri and Maine to the Union as free and slave, respectively, and banned slavery everywhere else north of the 36°30′ latitude line. Clay’s work on this and other issues earned him the nickname “The Great Compromiser,” with which he is still strongly associated today.

Glad I could help!!
