Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko are best-known as pioneers of Abstract Expressionism. But all four were also among thousands of artists and other creatives employed by the government through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) between the years of 1935 and 1943. That the arts would be funded significantly by the federal government—never mind that it would actively employ artists—may well raise an eyebrow today. But working under a subdivision of the WPA known as the Federal Art Project, these artists got to work to help the country recover from the Great Depression, as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.
Evidence of impoverishment and a portfolio showcasing one’s skills and commitment to the arts were all that was needed to qualify for the WPA initiative.

Registering new voters for the next presidential election in four years isn't the right thing to do at that particular moment
The "Emancipation Manifesto" signed by Czar Alexander II gave serfs land.
According to the manifesto, serfs obtained immediate personal freedom and the promise to own personal property. But the manifesto and the process in which it based the method of granting land to former serfs were slow and complicated. The peasants were granted the right to “redeem” (buy out) their houses and adjacent garden plots, but the fate of the much larger cultivated land plots depended on the landowners’ will.
