Answer:

The military history of the United States in World War II covers the war against the Axis Powers, starting with the 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. During the first two years of World War II, the United States had maintained formal neutrality as made official in the Quarantine Speech delivered by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937, while supplying Britain, the Soviet Union, and China with war material through the Lend-Lease Act which was signed into law on 11 March 1941, as well as deploying the US military to replace the British forces stationed in Iceland. Following the "Greer incident" Roosevelt publicly confirmed the "shoot on sight" order on 11 September 1941, effectively declaring naval war on Germany and Italy in the Battle of the Atlantic.[1] In the Pacific Theater, there was unofficial early US combat activity such as the Flying Tigers.

How are the fourteenth amendment and the civil rights act of 1964 similar?
rodikova [14]
The correct answer is C. they both sought equal rights for African Americans.

The 14th amendment states that any person born on US soil is automatically a US citizen. This was passed only a few years after the Civil War, as a means to ensure that newly freed slaves had all the freedoms/rights that white citizens had in society.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a federal law that bans work place discrimination. This means that a person cannot be stopped from obtaining a job based on their race, color, religion, gender, nation of origin, etc.

Do you think the U.S. could have avoided the Civil War, or do you think it was inevitable / unavoidable? Please explain your ans
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

I believe it was not possible to avoid the civil war. If it was avoidable, the north and south would have split into two different countries. Since the two are right next to each other, there would have been constant clashes and disagreements. The southern white would have not cooperate with the north to negotiate giving any slaves rights. As I said, war could have been pushed aside, back ultimately come back as the heat between the north and south would be much greater, creating a much more bloodier of a war than it was originally.
