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.

Which of the following was part of the agricultural revolution? Question 7 options: widespread use of bronze significant artisti
Neporo4naja [7]

The correct answer is D, domestication of animals. All other alternatives refer to events that only happened later.

In order to affirm an Agricultural Revolution ocurred, historians have to choose the most important changes and events that determine that from that moment onwards life was different.

The most important thing that supports the idea of an Agricultural Revolution is that humans started to domesticate plants and animals, which made possible for them to settle and stop being nomads.

This lead to the birth of cities and to radically change how those people lived.

Why did southern states want slaves to be counted as representation?
Irina-Kira [14]
State Representation is based off the population of the state, since slaves weren't technically citizens, they were not counted in deciding how many representatives a state had. Slaves were a large majority of the population in the south. The south thought they were under represented and wanted slaves to be counted so representation was fair in their eyes.
