What were Warren G. Harding’s strengths and weaknesses as president?

1 answer:

7 0

Pros: Harding’s presidency was overshadowed by the criminal activities of some of his cabinet members and other government officials, although he himself was not involved in any wrongdoing. An Ohio native and Republican, Harding was a successful newspaper publisher who served in the Ohio legislature and the U.S. Senate. In 1920, he won the general election in a landslide, promising a “return to normalcy” after the hardships of World War I (1914-1918).

Cons: After Harding’s death, the Teapot Dome Scandal and other instances of corruption came to light, damaging his reputation. Pretty much his reputation got destroyed when he died.

What was society, economic, and political life like in Europe in the middle ages

nordsb [41]

The middle ages in Europe were pretty terrible. Politically, kings ruled directly over groups of people, or over whole countries. The kings answered to the Pope generally. Economically, the kings and their nobles owned most of the profits of hard labor, while the townspeople after were treated to low wages. A sizable gap between classes was seen economically, and there was little room for changes in a persons economic class. Socially, the structure went like this: beggars and thieves, serfs (or non land owning peasants), knights, nobles and bishops, kings, the Pope.

According to her employer Mrs. Hobbs, what was Ellen's status in New York? She was a free young woman she was "given" to Mr Hobb

marta [7]

Answer:

She was a free young woman.

Explanation:

Harriet Jacob's "Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl" is a memoir that provides a narrative in the life of a slave woman. The book delves into the system of slavery, and how Linda( protagonist and a pseudonym for Harriet) had to endure hardships and obstacles to be united with her family amidst her fight for personal freedom and family life.

Mrs. Hobbs is the cousin of Mr. Sands, the father of Linda's children. In chapter XXVII, Mrs. Hobb's letter to Linda's grandmother revealed that Linda's daughter Ellen was "given" to her, to be "[her] little waiting maid". She went on further to state the condition of Ellen's 'presence' in the Hobbs' house, revealing: "I shall send her to school, and I hope someday she will write to you herself."

This shows that Ellen was 'given' to Mrs. Hobbs but that doesn't mean she is a slave and Mrs. Hobbs liked to believe that she is rather a free young woman while still under them.
