After the Revolution in China the U.S. did something that upset Soviet leaders...what did they do?
Lana71 [14]
We tried to bring both the Nationalist and Communist leaders together to come to some form of Compromise. We also left a delegation in Nanking to work with the new Communist regime, instead of fleeing back to Taiwan. China and Russia would soon fight over the fundamentals of Communism. We would not help matters, as anything that hurt Russia was seen as a good thing.

How did George Washington help prevent the national debt from tearing the country apart?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

For Presidents’ Day, we need to remember the strong leadership that George Washington gave our nation during the Revolutionary War and afterward, when he became our first president. His integrity and courage in times of crisis make him an exceptional role model for students today.

One neglected feather in Washington’s cap is his commitment to having the U. S. be a financially sound nation. He knew that no nation ever became strong–or remained strong–on borrowed money. Financial integrity and national power go hand in hand. Thus, he committed the U. S. to paying off all debts incurred in fighting the Revolutionary War. When he took office in 1789, the U. S. owed about $41 million in IOUs to thousands of merchants, bankers, and citizens who loaned money to Washington and other leaders for guns, supplies, and food. Sometimes those IOUs are called “continental bonds.” We also owed about $11 million to the French for financial (and military) aid in overcoming the British.

Some American politicians wanted to renege on these debts, or only pay part of them off. But Washington and his Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton recognized that U. S. credit and international integrity could only be obtained by paying back our creditors all that we owed them. Thus, Washington supported a tariff–usually 5%–on all imports, and he supported a whiskey tax as well as the two methods of raising money to pay off our national debt. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to avoid “the accumulation of debt,” and asked them not to throw “upon posterity the [debt] burden, which we ourselves ought to bear.”

What was the result of Washington’s effort to set high fiscal standards for the U. S.? Americans followed his leadership and usually spent less federal money that was taken in by the tariff and the whiskey tax. In less than forty years after Washington’s presidency, the entire national was eliminated and the U. S. actually (for a brief period) was a nation of surpluses and no debt. We had laid the foundation to become a great nation thanks in part to the excellent leadership of George Washington.

1. When representatives met in Philadelphia in May of 1787, they were to revise what document?
Zina [86]

The representatives intent was to revise the Articles of Confederation. Certain representatives such as James Madison and Alexander Hamilton were critics of the Articles of Confederation. They felt as though it was necessary just to create a new government rather than try to fix the problems of the Articles of Confederation. In the end, the Constitutional Convention resulted in the creation of the Constitution of the United States.
