All these are true statements about President Dwight Eisenhower:
- He desegregated the military.
- He balanced the budget.
- He cut military spending.
- He warned of an arms race.
- He initiated a network of multi-lane interstate highways linking cities.
The "Fair Deal" programs had been the agenda of President Harry Truman, so that's the one answer not to include in the list.
I'd like to add a word about Eisenhower's warning concerning an all-consuming arms race. His words, from his farewell speech as president, famously spoke of the "military-industrial complex."
Here's a small section of that speech, delivered in 1961:
<em> The conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.</em>
<em> In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.</em>
<em> We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.</em>
There were not just one event, but many important ones that sparked the independence of women and with that, a modern era of societal values.
By the 1920's, post World War I occurrence open opportunities for young American women. For instance, <em>The Flapper </em>was a new fashion with some natural elegance. Women wore hats, waistless dresses a little bit above the knees, silk stockings and sleek fashion shoes.
Regarding labor, many work opportunities were created due to the industrial economy in factories, offices and new professions.
The 60's really catapulted feminism and a new set of values for women. The Federal Drug Administration approved the firts <em>"Pill"</em> for birth control(1960), President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order called<em> "Commission on Status of Women</em>"(1961), and the "<em>Equal Pay Act</em>"(1963).
In 1970, <em>Title IX of Education Amendments</em> prohibits discrimination in schools. In 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman seated on the Supreme Court. In 1993, the Supreme Court rules that sexual harassment in the workplace was illegal.
And finally, in 2005, Condoleezza Rice was the first black woman Secretary of State, and in 2017, Hillary Rodham Clinton ran for the Presidency of the U.S.
