The correct option is "A)expanded the government’s right to monitor private communications."

The USA PATRIOT Act, is a federal law of the United States. It was approved by an overwhelming majority by both the House of Representatives and the US Senate and then promulgated by US President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001, after the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The objective of this law is to expand the control capacity of the State in order to combat terrorism, improving the capacity of the different US security agencies by coordinating them and providing them with greater powers of vigilance against terrorist crimes. The law also enacted new crimes and toughened the penalties for terrorism offenses.

The Patriotic or Patriot Act, as it has been denominated in Spanish, has been harshly criticized by various human rights organizations and organizations, due to the restriction of liberties and constitutional guarantees that it has supposed for citizens, both American and foreign.

The main purpose of General Sherman's march across Georgia was to
Leto [7]

Answer:

Sherman com sua estratégia, somando rapidez à impiedade, para o historiador militar B.H.Liddel Hart, colocou-se como o “primeiro general moderno”, um dos fundadores da guerra total.

 

“Atlanta é nossa, e honestamente vencida”. Foram umas poucas palavras telegrafadas pelo general Sherman à Casa Branca, em setembro 1864, vindas diretamente do coração da Geórgia recém ocupada, quem garantiram a reeleição do presidente Abraão Lincoln. A campanha relâmpago que ele realizou sobre o território dos rebeldes estava estreitamente vinculada aos desejos do chefe nortista de continuar a guerra até o fim, até a rendição completa dos sulistas que se insurgiram contra a União em 1861.  

 

Lincoln temia acima de tudo perder a eleição e assim, por meio da ascensão de um sucessor rival, abrir caminho para algum tipo de paz negociada ou um armistício que culminaria com a efetiva separação do país em duas partes.E isso se devia, entre outras coisas,  ao cansaço geral da nação americana com o andamento da guerra, apesar da vitória dos nortistas na batalha de Gettysburg (na Pensilvânia) e na de Vicksburg (no Mississipi), ambas obtidas em 3 e 4 de julho de 1863, respectivamente.  

 

Se isso ocorresse, todos os sofrimentos passados nas trincheiras e nas manobras forçadas, todo aquele sangue derramado pelos 300 mil mortos nortistas durante três anos seguidos teria sido em vão. A União estaria desfeita para sempre e os Estados Unidos rachado em dois. Poucas vezes na história da América um general salvou um presidente como Sherman, mais do que Ulisses Grant,  fez com Lincoln.  

 

Com a notícia da ocupação de Atlanta, situada nas profundezas do solo inimigo, os ianques sentiram finalmente que a guerra poderia vir a ser ganha, que era uma questão de alguns meses há mais, e votaram em massa no “velho Abe” (Lincoln recebeu 2.218,388 votos em 8 de novembro de 1864, ou 55% do total).  

 

A franqueza de Sherman

O general William T. Sherman, nascido em Lancaster, Ohio em 1820, filho da elite local, graduado em West Point, era um homem duro e muito franco. Os seus cabelos avermelhados davam a cor do seu temperamento. Sintonizava com Abraão Lincoln em mover batalhas sem tréguas contra os confederados acompanhada de uma paz conciliadora quando eles por fim capitulassem. Ainda jovem, estivera na Califórnia como oficial a serviço do governador, chegando até a entrar no ramo bancário quando foi vizinho de Ulysses Grant, mas depois a guerra civil o arrastou para o meio da voragem. Em carta ao Secretário da Guerra ele voluntariamente se comissionou para lutar por três anos, tal ódio devotou aos separatistas e ao povo do Sul em geral.

 

Quando o prefeito de Atlanta ocupada implorou para que não expulsasse a população da cidade, a qual desejava por fogo, respondeu-lhe que as coisas eram assim mesmo: “guerra era crueldade e nada poderia refinar isso”, e não esperasse mercê enquanto os rebeldes não fossem batidos. Todos, pobres ou ricos, os homens e as mulheres do sul teriam que sentir o “braço duro da guerra”.  

 

Não só isso, tinham que se submeter àqueles horrores todos para nunca mais sequer pensar no futuro vir a pegar em armas ou apoiar um levante sequer. Senão fosse assim, argumentou ele em carta ao prefeito Calhoun (datada de 12 de setembro de 1864), os Estados Unidos poderiam ter o triste destino do México (naquele momento, dividido internamente, encontrava-se ocupado por tropas franceses em apoio ao imperador Maximiliano, um monarca estrangeiro). Esse seu arrazoado fico resumido ao famoso dito a ele atribuído: War is Hell! “Guerra é um inferno!”  

 

A impiedade dele visava longe. Agia como uma brasa comprimida sobre uma ferida para que ela, cicatrizada, jamais voltasse a abrir.

 

Antecedentes da Marcha de Sherman

Dera-se depois de dois anos de guerra civil um fenômeno curioso e raro. O Norte conseguira duas vitórias memoráveis no ano de 1863, invertendo a maré dos desastres iniciais. No fronte Leste, o general George Meade havia detido e batido o general Robert Lee na batalha de Gettysburg (1 a 3 de julho de 1863) que tentava a invasão da Pensilvânia, para dali assaltar Washington, enquanto que no fronte Oeste, o general Ulysses Grant, tomava de assalto a fortaleza de Vicksburg no Mississipi (que capitulou no dia 4 de julho, um dia depois de Gettysburg), ferindo as comunicações do Sul.  

 

Todavia, a gente do Norte estava manifestando graves sintomas de exaustão. O mais radical deles, verdadeiramente alarmante, deu-se com a rebelião da população de Nova York, particularmente a de origem irlandesa, que em grande parte se amotinou contra o serviço militar e contra o que eles denominaram de “a guerra dos negros”.

What impact did the 1968 Democratic National Convention have on Vietnam and during the war and this time. Its for an essay. Plea
snow_tiger [21]

On this day in 1968, at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, tens of thousands of Vietnam War protesters battle police in the streets, while the Democratic Party falls apart over an internal disagreement concerning its stance on Vietnam. Over the course of 24 hours, the predominant American line of thought on the Cold War with the Soviet Union was shattered.

Since the end of World War II, the U.S. perspective on the Soviet Union and Soviet-style communism was marked by truculent disapproval. Intent on stopping the spread of communism, the United States developed a policy by which it would intervene in the affairs of countries it deemed susceptible to communist influence. In the early 1960s, this policy led to U.S. involvement in the controversial Vietnam War, during which the United States attempted to keep South Vietnam from falling under the control of communist North Vietnam, at a cost of more than 2 million Vietnamese and nearly 58,000 American lives.

The “Cold War consensus,” in U.S. government, however, fractured during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968. Democratic delegates from across the country were split on the question of Vietnam. A faction led by Eugene McCarthy, a committed anti-war candidate, began to challenge the long-held assumption that the United States should remain in the war. As the debate intensified, fights broke out on the convention floor, and delegates and reporters were beaten and knocked to the ground. Eventually, the delegates on the side of the status quo, championed by then-Vice President Hubert Humphrey, won out, but the events of the convention had seriously weakened the party, which went on to lose the following election.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Chicago, several thousand anti-war protesters gathered to show their support for McCarthy and the U.S. withdrawal of troops from Vietnam. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley deployed 12,000 police officers and called in another 15,000 state and federal officers to contain the protesters. The situation then rapidly spiraled out of control, with the policemen severely beating and gassing the demonstrators, as well as newsmen and doctors who had come to help.

The ensuing riot, known as the “Battle of Michigan Avenue,” was caught on television, and sparked a large-scale change in American society. For the first time, many Americans came out in virulent opposition to the Vietnam War, which they had begun to feel was pointless and wrongheaded. No longer would people give the national government unrestrained power to pursue its Cold War policies at the expense of the safety of U.S. citizens.
