Correct answer:  He promoted the policy of brinkmanship.

<u>Explanation</u>:

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under President Eisenhower.  He held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinksmanship."  In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

Helga [31]

Answer: Let's break it down

Explanation:

The Southern colones were mostly based on economy, it grew a lot of Tabacco, Rice, and Indigo (A shirt dye), these big farms were called Plantations grew a lot of these and made a lot of money, these owners were incredibly rich and controlled most churches and some parts of the government by bribing them.

The middle colonies are like it's name, it mostly did shipbuilding, cutting down trees (lumber to be exact) and grew wheat, rye, and oats. This colonies were even called the Bread colonies. It's soil was not so good so it's didn't completely rely on agriculture.

The England colonies was the complete opposite of the Southern, and had bad, dead, rocky soil, this colonies also did shipbuilding and lumber and didn't completely rely on agriculture p too, this colony was mostly a religious colony, it had a lot of churches and a lot of people would go there. It had many strict rules about this like on Sundays, you couldn't do chores, go play with friends, or stay at home.
