Answer: President Reagan

The national debt rose rapidly during the 1980s. President Reagan followed a combination of lowered tax rates (from 70% to 28% at the top income tax rate) and increased defense spending. At the same time, Democrats blocked cuts to social programs. This led to the tripling of the Gross Federal Debt, from $900 billion to $2.7 trillion. The debt continued to rise during the presidency of George H. W. Bush, but decreased at the end of Bill Clinton's presidency.

EleoNora [17]
<span>After the Civil War, immigrants again began to stream to the United States. Between 1870 and 1900, nearly 12 million immigrants arrived--more foreign-born people than had come to the country in the preceding 70 years. During the 1870s and 1880s, the majority came from Germany, Ireland, and England--the principal source of immigration before the Civil War. Even so, a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882, when federal law stopped their immigration.</span>

This also applied for religions and nationalities so it basically forbid landowners from discriminating against people who were not the standard Caucasian American person.

How is the colonisation of Australia and New Zealand distinct from the rest of new imperialism
TiliK225 [7]
The British colonized Australia by first creating prison colonies for convicts from Great Britain. New Zealand has two main islands and is home to the Maori, who were originally from Polynesia. The British colonized New Zealand and often were in conflict with the Maori. One similarity is that both countries were colonies of Great Britain at one time. Both countries are island nations in the South Pacific. There is also a free movement of people between the two countries. There are many Australians that live in New Zealand and vice versa.
