Charisma and propaganda--Reagan knew how to reach his audience and convince the American people they were in a state of danger and he had been able to keep them safe.
The Reagan administration focused on Cold War tactics first convincing American citizens they were unsafe in a world with communism and the USSR. He then developed military focus and propaganda to prove his leadership was keeping Americans safe. This with large tax breaks and a sense of conservative 'normalcy' made him very popular with the majority of white America.
Between 400-500 soldiers.
During the Civil War, Kentucky was a border state, but they on the south's side "team" (they had slaves and wanted to keep them). During this war, the north and south had a war, known as the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln wanted Kentucky on his side, the north side. Kentucky was a border state, therefore he wanted it to be on the north's side since it wasn't completely in the south. I believe he says he must have Kentucky because it's another state on his side to help with this war, if that makes sense.
In Louisiana Jury decision need not be unanimous.
Explanation:
Each and every Juror need not be convinced for the defendant' guilt. If the judges claim to be of similar opinion then the guilt proves to be reasonable but its not the majority of the judges opinion. Judges love this process as it expedites the deliberations and most of the cases are solved faster.
Unanimity is required in all criminal cases which are of third degree severity. In a state where the racial disparity is to the maximum and unanimity of jury persists then, there are many chances for the defendant to be convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole based upon a 10-2 vote of the jury decisions.
