Eugene McCarthy was a United States senator in the 1950s and 1960s. He ran for president in the American presidential election of 1968. McCarthy strongly opposed the Vietnam War and America's involvement in it. McCarthy challenged President Johnson for the Democratic nomination, gaining the support of many Democratic Americans. McCarthy also encouraged Robert Kennedy to enter the presidential race.

McCarthy was very popular due to his opinions and the policies he wanted to spread, and he gained popularity with prominent figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This surge in popularity led to a split in the Democratic party with only half of the party supporting McCarthy and the other half supporting Johnson. McCarthy was committed to the young people.

Many of Johnson's values lay on the fact that American moral values were deteriorating, which was a sentiment that many Democratic Americans could agree with. McCarthy accused the Johnson administration of being unwilling to negotiate with the North Vietnamese and criticized their efforts, gaining major support from Americans who believed that America shouldn't be involved in the war at all.

How do people feel today about the boston masscare
andriy [413]

Answer:

The women of Boston felt disgusted and were angry about the crime of adultery committed by Hester Prynne.

Explanation:

In Chapter 2 of Scarlet Letter, when the crime of Hester Prynne was out, she was punished by the Puritanical Society for it. She wore an embroidered letter A (adultery).

Hester Prynne was convicted of the crime of adultery. Many women in the crowd, who were waiting outside the prison, were scorning Hester and gossiping that she should have been given much stricter punishment. Some church women thought only if they had a chance to handle the case of Hester, she would have been punished more severely.

"I’ll tell ye a piece of my mind. It would be greatly for the public behoof, if we women, being of mature age and church-members in good repute, should have the handling of such malefactresses as this Hester Prynne." (Quoted Text).

Some said that the letter should not be embroidered on her chest but on her forehead to shame her for life.

The ugliest woman of the crowd even suggested death punishment for Hester.

"This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die. Is there not law for it?" (Quoted Text).

Explain how being able to analyze an author's purpose can be a useful skill for history students
Elena-2011 [213]
Everybody’s biased. If you can analyze the authors purpose when they were writing something, you’ll be more aware of this bias. As a history student, you need to acknowledge this bias when researching to ensure that what you are reading is factual and presents a reliable picture on what was going on during that period in time. It can provide insight or can be deceiving, based on the author’s purpose.
