NeitherA. or B.Can be correct because during the period between 1937 and 1945 The United States Gross National Product increased in record numbers along with corporate profits due government intervention in them market place and aiding large defense companies by paying for the opening of new plants and in turn handing them over to the private sector to be run and handled thus cutting down on the amount of money companies had to pay and increasing their profits as the need for Military goods was dire during this time period. And the National Debt also increased by a substantial amount due to the borrowing of money to fund our massive push within our industrial sector. And D. Had no major impact at the time because so many people were needed in large cities to work in the newly built plants that many unemployed citizens and workers migrated to cities to work in these factories thus lowing the amount of workers in rural farm areas. ThereforeC. Would be your best answer because during and at the end of the war, Consumer spending as at a all time high.
C. Wage freezes reduced consumer spending ... ..<span> that did NOT happen</span>. In April, 1943, President Roosevelt put a freeze on wages and prices ... and consumer spending increased. Spending went down in some areas of the economy, in connection with the war effort. For instance, the percentage of consumer income spent on automobiles, as well as gas, repairs, insurance, and fees for automobiles, went down by nearly 60 percent between 1941 and 1944. But overall consumer spending increased. Overall household consumer spending in 1941 was $2,060. In 1944, overall household consumer spending was $2,406.
As to answer A):The gross national product (GNP) and corporate profits did double during wartime. There is something to be aware of with that, however. The big increases in spending were all war-related, and much work would be needed after the war to keep the economy going forward on a peacetime footing. David Weinberger, writing in The Daily Signal (January 26, 2012), explained: "Underneath the national numbers that seem so robust between 1941 and 1945 stood an emaciated, barely conscious private economy stripped of resources and hope. This economy, a child of the Great Depression, bore little resemblance to its muscular cousin who fought on two war fronts."
As to answer B) The US federal debt indeed did quadruple during World War II. In 1941, prior to the United States' entry into the war, the national debt stood at $58 billion. By the war's end in 1945, the national debt was $260 billion.
As to answer D): L.D. Baver, the Associate Director of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station from 1941 to 1947, explained the emphasis being given through agricultural extension programs: "The job of farming in war time, like the job of war itself, consists in making the most effective use of all available means -- labor, machinery, fertilizer, facts" (Research and Farming, N.C. Agricultural Experiment Station annual report, 1942).
The reason why president Abraham Lincoln want reconstruction to be simple and easy is : D. he believed that the southern states had never left the union and therefore there was no need to go through a lengthy process t make them part of the united states again (he was really mad at them back then)
Code Noir was set by the French to help them regulate slavery and punishment. The Code required people that were colonized to provide food every week to the French. However, in Haiti, it did not function well as the people could only provide water and potatoes to the French. Also, the fact that the average lifespan of the "slaves" in Haiti was just 7 years didn't help the cause.
The kingdom of Songhai, also spelled Songhay, West Africa's great trade state, focused on what is now central Mali on the middle reaches of the Niger River and gradually spreading west to the Atlantic coast and east to Niger and Nigeria.
While the Songhai people are said to have settled in the city of Gao about 800 CE, during the reign of the dia Kossoi, a Songhai convert to Islam, they did not consider it as their capital until the beginning of the 11th century. During the next 300 years, Gao prospered and expanded so much that the rulers of Mali added it to their kingdom from 1325 to 1375.
The Congressional and Presidential Reconstruction Plans had differences as regards the intensity of amnisty and leniency they managed. President Lincoln believed that he had the power and the obligation to carry on the Reconstruction. However, the Republican Members of the Congress did not agree. They said that it was the Congress the one with the power to reconstruct the south.
