In some instances, Federal officials expedited the naming process by furnishing the names themselves, and invariably the name would be the same as that of the freedman’s most recent master. But these appear to have been exceptional cases; the ex-slaves themselves usually took the initiative—like the Virginia mother who changed the name of her son from Jeff Davis, which was how the master had known him, to Thomas Grant, which seemed to suggest the freedom she was now exercising. Whatever names the freed slaves adopted, whether that of a previous master, a national leader, an occupational skill, a place of residence, or a color, they were most often making that decision themselves. That was what mattered.

Which statement would a Federalist be most likely to agree with?
vova2212 [387]
The correct answer is D) The federal government should be stronger than individual state governments.

Federalists felt strongly about this statement because when the state governments had more power than the federal government under the Articles of Confederation, the country was extremely disorganized. Due to state governments having so much power, there was no national currency, trade was difficult between states, and states were able to ignore federal laws. All of these issues made federalists believe that the federal government should have a stronger role in American society.

Answer:

The war effort demanded developments in the field of science and technology, developments that forever changed life in America and made part in World War II and were of such importance that some historians have claimed that radar. One such example was the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) Not only does war cripple the economy and politics, but on a deeper level, it taints society and forever alters the cultural identity of those people. They are forced to migrate for the sake of their safety and a better future, carrying their culture with them, but in the process altering it.  In short, World War II and the popular culture of that era are ... anxiety in America about the war and how it might affect their lives.
