On September 22, 1950 President Truman expressed in a letter to the house of representatives his concern that the McCarran Act is "a mockery of the bill of rights" as it would seriously damage the intelligence operations and security in which several departments such as CIA, Department of Defense, and Department of State are responsible.

Answer:

Internal Security Act, better known as the McCarran Act, was an act passed by Congress in September 1950, prohibiting the registration of communist organizations.

According to this law, people who supported communism could not work in factories whose production was considered important for the defense of the country. Supporters of communism, or those who belonged to organizations supporting communism, could not cross the US border.

It also stated that, in the event of a state of emergency, it was possible to establish concentration camps for communists.

President Harry Truman vetoed this bill on September 22, 1950. He sent a long message to the Congress in which he criticized several aspects of the bill, calling it "the greatest danger to freedom of expression, of the press and of assembly since the Alien and Sedition Laws of 1798", a "mockery of the Bill of Rights" and a "great step towards totalitarianism".

Answer:

"Britain has a damp climate. This was good for textile production, because it helped to keep the fibers in the material soft and easy to work with. In addition, Britain has many deposits of coal and iron, both of which fueled the machines. In addition, Britain's location also kept it isolated from European wars."

How did the system of indentured servitude in colonial Virginia transform into a system of African slavery after Nathaniel Bacon
Sliva [168]

Answer:Indentured servants both black and white joined the frontier rebellion. Seeing them united in a cause alarmed the ruling class. Historians believe the rebellion hastened the hardening of racial lines associated with slavery, as a way for planters and the colony to control some of the poor. Hope this helped!

Explanation:

At least, I hope this is right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
