How did Congress affect Wilson’s efforts to protect working women and children during the war?

History
1 answer:
kkurt [141]3 years ago
8 0

In 1916, Wilson nominated Louis Brandeis, a staunch progressive who had fought in court against the exploitation of women and children workers, to the Supreme Court. He was the first Jewish justice on the Court. Following Brandeis's nomination, Wilson supported improved credit for farmers and workers' compensation for federal employees. He then pushed through a law to eliminate child labor, but the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in 1918. When American railroad unions threatened to strike in 1916, Wilson supported and signed into law a bill securing an eight-hour workday for railroad employees—the Adamson Act, which paved the way to shortened workdays for all industrial workers.

How did migrations impact Africa? Focus on the causes and effects of each.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The reason for migration can be attributed to segregation and better life.

Explanation:

Northern and Eastern migration: It was the relocation to cities of the West, Midwest and North due to unpleasant segregation laws and unsatisfactory economic opportunities which resulted in the movement of blacks to head north, where industrial workers were needed.

Bantu Migration: The reasons for the Bantu migrations were:

• Dried state of the Sahara grasslands which resulted into people that practiced agriculture to move in search of water and fertile land for farming.

• Increase in population which created pressure on resources causing movement in search for new land.

• Tribal wars resulted in defeated tribes to relocate for safety.

• Expansion of their iron-working after its discovery also caused migration.

The effects of Bantu migration include positive and negative effects. Positive effects include:

• Introduction of iron working

• Increase in food production.

• Introduction of new crops such as bananas and yams.

Negative effects include:

• Depopulation which was due to constant attacks for land by the Bantu against people in East Africa.

• Loss of culture: The loss of culture was a result of cultural absorption and intermarriage with other tribes.

What did the Gulf of Tonkin resolution lead to?
djyliett [7]

Answer: It allowed President Johnson to use military force in Vietnam without declaring war.

The major provision of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was authorization for the US President to do what he felt necessary to bring peace to Southeast Asia.

Detail:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a measure passed by US Congress that allowed the US President to make military actions, like increase troops, without formal declaration of war.  It led to huge escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War. The resolution was passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin.  The key wording in the resolution said:

  • <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>

That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war.  Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.
