Baseball was referred to as what in the 1920s?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Baseball was referred to as <u>America's Pastime</u>. It gained this name because it became so popular in the 1920s that Americans could not watch or play it enough that it seemed this was all they did during leisure.

32. Two reasons for the increase in High school enrolment were;

  • Increase in number of Public Schools - The United States from 1910 onwards placed an emphasis on secondary education after the previous successes of elementary education. They believed that secondary educated citizens were the keystone to economic development and empowerment and to that end began the construction of many more public high schools which led to increased enrolment.
  • Decentralization of Schooling - The division of the US into schooling districts led to competition amongst them not to be left behind. They therefore pushed for more schools to be built in their districts to educate more of their students which led to many more students enrolling in high school.

In what ways did the role of the federal government grow during Roosevelt presidency?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, (1882-1945), 32nd president of the United States. Roosevelt became president in March 1933 at the depth of the Great Depression, was reelected for an unprecedented three more terms, and died in office in April 1945, less than a month before the surrender of Germany in WORLD WAR II . Despite an attack of poliomyelitis, which paralyzed his legs in 1921, he was a charismatic optimist whose confidence helped sustain the American people during the strains of economic crisis and world war.

He was one of America's most controversial leaders. Conservatives claimed that he undermined states' rights and individual liberty. Leftists found him timid and conventional in attacking the Depression. Others thought him devious and inconsistent and uninformed about economics. Some of these claims were well founded. Though Roosevelt labored hard to end the Depression, he had limited success. It was not until 1939 and 1940, with the onset of heavy defense spending before World War II, that prosperity returned. Roosevelt also displayed limitations in his handling of foreign policy. In the 1930's he was slow to warn against the menace of fascism, and during the war he relied too heavily on his charm and personality in the conduct of diplomacy.

Still, Roosevelt's historical reputation is deservedly high. In attacking the Great Depression he did much to develop a partial welfare state in the United States and to make the federal government an agent of social and economic reform. His administration indirectly encouraged the rise of organized labor and greatly invigorated the Democratic party. His foreign policies, while occasionally devious, were shrewd enough to sustain domestic unity and the allied coalition in World War II. Roosevelt was a president of stature.

Roosevelt worked as never before during the campaign. Acquiring a car, he crisscrossed the county in his quest for support. He showed skill at making himself agreeable to voters and a willingness to listen to the advice of political veterans. As at Groton and Harvard, during his political career he proved open and adaptable. Perhaps his greatest asset in the campaign was the national trend away from the Republican party, which was badly split in 1910. For all these reasons Roosevelt won impressively in the usually Republican district.

Roosevelt made an immediate impact in the legislative session of 1911. At that time U. S. senators from New York were elected by the legislature, not by popular vote. The Democrats, with majorities in both houses, prepared to select William F. Sheehan, a transportation and utilities magnate who was the choice of Tammany Hall, New York City's powerful political machine. A few Democrats balked at the choice. Roosevelt joined them and became their leader.

His motives were idealistic. Reflecting TR's faith in progressivism and in honest government, he distrusted the "bossism of Tammany Hall. After a bitter struggle lasting almost three months, Tammany won a qualified victory by securing the insurgents' acquiescence in the selection of Judge James A. O'Gorman, a former Tammany Grand Sachem, to the Senate. But Roosevelt and his allies took some consolation in having forced the withdrawal of Sheehan and in attracting nationwide attention. It was an auspicious start to a career in politics.
