Answer:
The correct answer is A. Truman fired MacArthur to preserve civilian control of the military.
Explanation:
After the invasion of North Korean troops into South Korea on June 25, 1950, MacArthur was given command of the international troops with a UN mandate, which he led to their first success when they landed at Incheon. In the course of the war and in the face of the deployment of Chinese volunteers and soldiers, he vehemently campaigned for the use of nuclear weapons in 49 North Korean cities and the expansion of the conflict into the People's Republic of China. President Harry S. Truman rejected these special requests on several occasions and finally dismissed MacArthur from his post on April 11, 1951 because of his continued and partly public urge. This decision led to violent protests in Congress and public demonstrations for MacArthur. Seven million people are said to have participated in a parade in New York. Public opinion saw MacArthur as a great war hero, while President Truman was largely unpopular.
Answer:
Loyalists were American colonists who stayed loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War, often called Tories, Royalists, or King's Men at the time. They were opposed by the "Patriots", who supported the revolution, and called them "persons inimical to the liberties of America".[1] Prominent Loyalists repeatedly assured the British government that many thousands of them would spring to arms and fight for the crown. The British government acted in expectation of that, especially in the southern campaigns in 1780–81. In practice, the number of Loyalists in military service was far lower than expected since Britain could not effectively protect them except in those areas where Britain had military control. The British were often suspicious of them, not knowing whom they could fully trust in such a conflicted situation; they were often looked down upon.[2] Patriots watched suspected Loyalists very closely and would not tolerate any organized Loyalist opposition. Many outspoken or militarily active Loyalists were forced to flee, especially to their stronghold of New York City. William Franklin, the royal governor of New Jersey and son of Patriot leader Benjamin Franklin, became the leader of the Loyalists after his release from a Patriot prison in 1778. He worked to build Loyalist military units to fight in the war, but the number of volunteers was much fewer than London expected.
When their cause was defeated, about 15 percent of the Loyalists (65,000–70,000 people) fled to other parts of the British Empire, to Britain itself, or to British North America (now Canada). The southern Loyalists moved mostly to Florida, which had remained loyal to the Crown, and to British Caribbean possessions, often bringing along their slaves. Northern Loyalists largely migrated to Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. They called themselves United Empire Loyalists. Most were compensated with Canadian land or British cash distributed through formal claims procedures. Loyalists who left the US received £3 million[citation needed] or about 37 percent of their losses from the British government. Loyalists who stayed in the US were generally able to retain their property and become American citizens.[3] Historians have estimated that between 15 and 20 percent of the two million whites in the colonies in 1775 were Loyalists (300,000–400,000).[4]
