The Aztecs and the Mayans were two ancient societies in Meso America. The Mayan civilization goes back to about 1800-2000 BC and was in decline when the Spaniards arrived whereas the Aztecs were a much younger civilization that was at its peak when Cortez arrived. The Aztecs were located mostly in what is now Mexico whereas the Mayans were more in what is now Guatemala and Honduras. Both the Aztecs and Mayans believed in human sacrifice but the Aztecs did this much more than the Mayans. While the Aztecs layed out their cities according to celestial observances, the Mayans were more scientific and developed a calendar very similar to our modern calendar. The Aztecs had one supreme ruler whereas the Mayans had many city states like Uxmal in Guatemala and Copan in Honduras with local rulers.

What is a key reason Goldwater lost to Johnson in 1964?
Mnenie [13.5K]

The correct answer is C. A key reason Goldwayer lost to Johnson in 1964 is that he was branded as a liberal by Lyndon Johnson.

Barry Goldwater was a senator from Arizona. He sought the presidency of the United States against Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, but was defeated.

He lost in all states, except six, in the 1964 presidential election to Lyndon Johnson, who campaigned presenting him as a warmonger liberal in favor of atomic war and supported by the Ku Klux Klan, who wanted to abolish social welfare programs created in the 1930s (like Social Security). Lyndon Johnson advocated more of those programs, and after 1965, he instituted three: Medicare, Medicaid and the War on Poverty.

But Goldwater brought to the country the creed he had developed for 12 years in the Senate. Its political campaign was framed within the classic liberalism concentrated in reducing the power of the federal government, favoring the economic and political liberties, supporting a foreign policy based on a fervent anticommunism. It is considered that he played a key role in the rebirth of the conservative and libertarian movements in the USA, paying the price for Ronald Reagan to be elected President of the United States in 1980.
