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.

Why did racism help strengthen the acceptance of slavery?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Racism leads to the belief that one race is better or of "higher-standard" than another. The race that is "master" would then, obviously, be able to subject other races, including making them slaves (people who work for them without pay). Because of racism, they believe that lower-class races would need to be obligated to serve higher-class races, or Aryans.
