What did the Republican Party support that many southerners were opposed to?

History
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
3 0
When the Republican party was formed 1n 1854, its main plank was to keep slavery from expanding into the Western territories. Most of the landowners interested in settling these territories (especially Texas) were slave-holding Southerners. The Democratic party had been associated with Southern slaveholder interests since its inception, and Southerners associated the Republicans with Northern crusaders and busybodies.

Around the early 20th Century, the roles of the two parties began to shift. Republicans, who had been progressives up through the Theodore Roosevelt presidency, became more associated with big business. Democrats were morphing into two nearly separate parties, with Southern Democrats increasingly taking their own path.

By the Franklin Roosevelt administration in 1933, mainstream Democrats had become the liberal party (Black voters, loyal Republicans since Lincoln, were mostly lured over to the Democrat side by FDR) and Republicans had been the conservative one for a couple of decades. By the 1960s, the South was overwhelmingly Republican (although it would still yield a surprising number of Democratic governors and presidents).

in which of the following ways did communist nations differ from capitalist nations during the cold war?
erica [24]

Answer:

Communists believed that wealth should be owned by the state.

Explanation:

During the Cold War period, the communism spread out around the world. Many countries from multiple continents found the communism very appealing, and with the support of the Soviet Union they managed to fend off the Western countries in their attempt to stop this process. Most of the countries that adopted the communism did so through revolution and military conflict. Such countries were:

Vietnam

North Korea

Cuba

Venezuela

Cambodia

One of the main things in which the people that adopted the communism believed was that the wealth should be owned by the state. This was due to the goal of making everyone equal, including by wealth, and that by controlling all of the economy the government will be able to do so. Unfortunately for the people though, this didn't turned out as they hoped and believed it will, but instead resulted in few people controlling almost all of the wealth, while all the others lived in poor conditions, often struggling to survive.

Why was the us foreign policy based in isolationism during the nations first century
garik1379 [7]
Much like many other countries, the US foreign policy was based in isolationism which resulted in new restrictions on immigration and a lack of membership in international organizations. There isn't a good explanation as to why it was isolationist in the first place besides the fact most countries were at that time so it made it easier for the US to do the same.
