Here is information that you could use to argue either side of this debate.

Agree
- One could argue that Harry Truman played a significant role in the Red Scare due to his speech to Congress regarding the Truman Doctrine. In this speech, he asks Congress to give financial assistance to countries like Greece and Turkey. He discusses how the fate of these countries, and other ones all over Europe, rest in the fate of the US. If the US does not help these countries, communism can take over. This could lead to repression and hard economic times for millions of people.

Disagree
- Even though he created the Truman Doctrine, Truman did not scare up nearly as much fear as Joe McCarthy. McCarthy accused hundreds of people of being communist, played a significant role in the growth of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and used fear tactics to scare individuals. Truman was not nearly as extreme in his fight against domestic communism.

7. Why is support for the Electoral College greater in small population states than it is in larger population states?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The smaller population states have more power by using the Electoral College than they would otherwise.

Explanation:

The Electoral College of the United States is made up of electors who elect the President and Vice President of the United States. The Constitution determines how many voters each state has; in practice, the number is the same as the total numebr of congressmen that each state has.  

Voters do not directly elect the President and Vice President of the United States, but vote through the constituencies of their own state. Voters can, in principle, vote for any candidate, but in practice undertake to vote for a particular candidate, and thus voters know how to cast their vote through their constituents for their own candidate. This is an example of an indirect election method.

The smaller popularion states tend to support the electoral college more emphatically than the larger population states, since this voting mechanism implies an equalization in the proportion of votes by the smaller states with respect to the larger states. Otherwise, if it were the case of direct vote by citizens, four or five states could be decisive, leaving other citizens on a secondary level.

Why did the Confederates burn Richmond as President Davis and his cabinet fled?
liubo4ka [24]

The Confederates burned Richmond as President Davis and his cabinet fled to make sure the Union Army could not use Confederate resources.

During the American Civil War, Richmond became the capital of the Confederate States of America.

On April 2, 1865, more than 25% of the buildings in the city were destroyed by fire after the withdrawal of the Confederate soldiers, who burned all the Confederate resources to make them unusable for the Union.

On April 3, 1865, Ulysses S. Grant and the Union Army captured Richmond, and the state capital was then transferred to Lynchburg. The Army of North Virginia, commanded by Robert Lee retired and surrendered six days later before Grant in the Appomattox Court House, becoming the symbolic end of the war.
