This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Why do you think it took over fifteen years for a holiday to be created when lawmakers started to act just days after King's assassination?

Answer:

I think that it was the remaining racism in both society and the government that made the establishment of a national holiday in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. so difficult.

Explanation:

The main reasons those who opposed the holiday gave were that it would be too costly and it wouldn´t be correct to honor someone who may have been a communist. These reasons are rather weak. First of all, there´s no proof of King´s association with communism. Furthermore, setting any holiday should not be based on its cost but its social relevance, which, as the many demonstrations demanding for the holiday showed, had already been established.

Considering the lack of solid reasons for the holiday not to be established, and the support the campaign in favor of the holiday got from different organizations working on equal rights for African Americans, I can only infer that there was a political interest in King´s ideas not becoming more popular.

USA vs Confederate advantages and disadvantages
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The main advantages of the USA were:

A larger population, the USA had the majority of large cities of North America at the time, and a lot of immigrants, while the Confederacy was mainly rural, and not as populated. This larger population meant a more numerous army.

And a more powerful economy with some industry, which facilitated the production of arms and supplies for the military.

The disadvantage was that USA was the aggressor, and had to take up territory, while the confederacy only had to defend itself.

The confederacy main advantage was that as defenders, they knew most of the territory better, and had overall a more advantageous geographical position, at least at the start of the war. The main disadvantage for the Confederacy was precisely the smaller population -which means a smaller army- and the less developed economy, which was mainly agrarian, lacking almost any form of industry.

Why is the president allowed to appropriate government money in times of a disaster
Alja [10]

The correct answer is: because he can react to emergencies more quickly than Congress.

The president can appropriate government money in times of a disaster, to react to emergencies quicker than the Congress.

This situation only happens in times of emergency, in which the President is allowed to override the Congress and deliver executive orders without the Congress permission.

These emergencies are declared when: there is an armed conflict, a natural disaster, civil unrest, etc.
