The members of the Corps of Discovery were soldiers, but their purpose was peaceful -- exploration, diplomacy, and science. Lewis was commissioned as a Captain of the Army of the United States, Clark as a Lieutenant (although this inferior rank was kept secret from the men, and Clark was always called "Captain").

What was the main purpose of the US reply?

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

I hope there was more information on the question but I'll try to answer according to how I understand it.

The answer is: to cast a blame on the USSR

Explanation:

I believe the question is related to the "Cold War." This war happened after Germany surrendered to the USA.

Before the war, the USA and the Soviet (USSR) were already allies against the "Axis Power" (Japan, Germany and Italy). However, it was said that the Soviet already resented the USA especially at one point when it couldn't help the Russians earlier during the World War II. The USA, also has been very cautious about the Russian's "communism" even before the events. So, both of these countries have already been wary of each other.

The main purpose of the US reply was to cast the blame on the USSR. The reply was made in a telegram by George Kennan, a diplomat. It talked about the "containment strategy." This means that the USA could block the Soviet any time they feel like they're a risk to the nation. This even resulted to an advancement in the Cold War, such as the two countries empowering on "atomic bombs."

Musya8 [376]

Yes, this is true. In brown vs board of education of Topeka, the case got a legal victory due to the fact that it wasn't separate but equal, as the girl had to walk 20 blocks - a few miles - to get to her school, as she attends a black school. white people were able to get to schools near them, which is totally unfair. so the supreme court said 'separate but equal' is unconstitutional.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

c that Soviet spies had infiltrated the American government.

Explanation:

Igor Gouzenko was formerly a citizen Soviet Union who was widely known as a spy on Canadian soil. However, he later revealed his mission publicly, and eventually defected to become a Canadian citizen.

During the investigation, the documents recovered from Igor Gouzenko revealed that "that Soviet spy had infiltrated the American government."

This is evident in the fact that following the Igor Gouzenko issue, United States later uncovered about 20 people spies passing information to the Soviet Union under the leadership of Fred Rose.

Similarly was the FBI tracked down of a Soviet spy named Ignacy Witczak, in Los Angeles.
