Answer:

Richard Nixon

Explanation:

In 1948, Alger Hiss, secretary-general of the UN-founded Conference and President Roosevelt's government-wide collaborator, was accused of being a “Soviet spy”. In the House, Richard Nixon was the chief inquisitor and led the investigation into the case of Alger Hiss.

At this point, the fascist offensive of the financial monopolies to take back power, from which they had been displaced since Roosevelt's first election, has begun. Unable to condemn Hiss as a spy, they condemned him for denying that he was one. Two weeks later, McCarthy made his sadly famous speech about the list of "205 communists" in the US State Department.

aev [14]

The three ways that the Indians that lived on the Great Plains used the buffalo are:

- Food source; the buffalo meat was essential for the survival of the Indians from the Great Plains, it was their prime food source, and since there were buffalo's in abundance they used it in their favor.

- Clothing material; the fur of the buffalo is very thick and warm, so it was used for making warm and cozy clothes, and its skin was used as well for making shoes or lighter clothes.

- Tools, weapons, jewelry; the bones of the buffalo were used for multiple reasons, for making weapons, tools that were needed in the daily life, jewelry etc.

The introduction of the horse to the Indians changed their hunting technique, their battle tactics, and their daily lives in general. The horse was used for hunting buffalo, which increased the efficiency and safety in the hunting. Horses were used for transportation and travel, which enabled them to do things much quicker and easier, and also they were used in battles in a similar manner like the nomadic people form Central Asia.

What is the approximate difference in the elevation between austin and the hill country just to the west
adoni [48]

Answer and Explanation:

Elevation means the action of raising or being raised to a higher level, state, or position. The elevation is usually referred to as mountains because of its highs and falls. Elevation usually ranges from 500 to 2250 feet above the sea level. The hill country is situated in central Texas. Hill country extends to the northern portion of San Antonia and western portions of Austin. The elevation in hill country ranges from 500 feet to 2000 feet above the sea level. Austin is a southernmost state capital of the contiguous 48 states, which is situated in Central Texas. Austin  located 146 miles northwest of Houston, 182 miles south of Dallas, and 74 miles northeast of San Antonio. The elevation of Austin varies from 425 feet to approximately 1,000 feet above sea level. So the hill country is more elevated than Austin.
