Truman’s policy was more defensive than offensive. This can be seen in the Marshall Plan where he used economics to rebuild war-torn as an incentive to promote democracy. Though he would not use military force, He vowed to support countries against communism and this was seen in the establishment of NATO as a deterrent to Russian expansion.
I hope this helps!
Good day to you.

Answer:
The historical circumstance of this document is the existence of sharecropping contracts.
The target audience for this document is people who were interested in renting land, many of them ex-slaves.
The point of view presented in the document was the point of view of the landowner.
The purpose of the document is to set out the requirements that the landowner established for those who wished to use their land for their own production, or to sell.
Explanation:
The text above shows an excerpt from a sharecropping Contract.
This type of contract refers to the historical moment in which many people, most of them ex-slaves, had to submit to land lease contracts from white southerners, so that they could plant and establish a survival farming system to maintain themselves. and, if possible, sell to other people.
These contracts emerged after the secession war, and it was a way of making ex-slaves dependent on white masters, preventing them from enjoying full freedom, as, as you can see, they had to direct much of their work to please the landowner.
Answer: No other European power had established a presence in the area.
In the early 19th century, Russia had already established some colonies in Alaska, securing its presence in America. Russia was expanding East, across Siberia, and eventually started moving south, until it reached Northern California.
Americans who were involved in the sea otter business proposed some joint hunting expeditions with Russian supervisors and Native Alaskan hunters to hunt seals along the Californian coast. These expeditions allowed the Russian parties to observe large stretches of uncolonized land. This led to the conclusion that a Russian settlement could be established in California.
