Senator Joseph McCarthy delivered the <em>Wheeling, West Virginia</em> speech on February 9, 1950. Right there he reminded Abraham Lincoln’s phrase “when a great democracy is destroyed, it will not be from enemies from without, but rather because of enemies from within.”
This argument was a key moment in McCarthy speech because he grabbed the audience’s attention and made a clear point from the beginning. As Lincoln's did in his “Lyceum Address”, Senator McCarthy warned that the danger to the U. S. was not foreign menaces but domestic.
The speech was delivered in Lincoln Day, and when he stated that they were there to “celebrate the one hundred forty-first birthday of one of the greatest men in American history”, he wanted to reinforce that Lincoln was an outstanding man who influenced America and warned about the internal problems of the country.
It was primarily an anti-Catholic, anti-immigration, populist and xenophobic. So they were against immigration.
Without you providing us with the diagram, I can still offer you some thought about the effect of the Smoot-Hawley Act and protective tariffs. Sponsored by Senator Reed Smoot and Congressman Willis Hawley, the intent of their tariff act was to protect American jobs during the economic crisis of the Depression. However, when the US imposed protective tariffs, other nations retaliated with tariffs of their own. Thus American exports and imports were cut in half and the Depression grew worse, not better.
We should note this too: While economists agree that Smoot-Hawley worsened the Depression, how large of a factor it was is a matter that economists debate. Some say the tariffs played a minor role compared to other aggravating factors of the Depression. However, the Foundation for Economic Education asserts that the economists who want to minimize the role of the Tariff Act are wrong to do so. Underestimating the negative impact of protective tariffs can be very dangerous economically -- then and now.
There is a subtle difference between Arctan and arctan
Arctan(x) is an inverse function such that the range is only the principla value
meanwhile, arctan(x) takes on infinitely many values
hope this helps
