Answer:

Higgs's argument is stronger because Folsom's primary arguments involved quotes. Quotes can be unreliable, especially if chosen with bias from a selected group of people. Beyond that, quotes from people that lived in the moment are often short-sighted and don't understand long term effects. While Folsom does also source historians, he focuses a lot on Roosevelt's interest spending and believes that the money that went back to the American people actually prolonged suffering. Higgs, however, focuses on the short and long-term effects of the New Deal and uses a lot of data to prove his point. While he does have quotes, he doesn't rely on them to make or break his argument, unlike Folsom. Higgs is also able to understand some of the negatives of the New Deal, unlike Folsom who did not pay any attention to the other side of the issue.

Answer:

Professor Burton W. Folsom Jr. argues that the New Deal did prolong the Great Depression because it was anti-free market Capitalism so it created an anti-business environment that people would not work that much because some people would get payed for not working. His supporting evidence used to support his argument about the data of the people unemployed in all of the 1830s which was not changing even after the proposition of the new deal. Professor Roger Biles states that the New Deal created a limited welfare state that was good for business to come back together and helped avoid another depression. His evidence used was the unemployment rate going down from when the Great Depression started in the late 1920s and later in 1934 it went down 4 percent.

What piece of legislation stated that slavery was banned north of the 36’30 and south of the 36’30 slavery would be allowed
Gekata [30.6K]

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 established the latitude 36°30′ as the northern limit for slavery to be legal in the territories of the west.

Explanation:

  • The Missouri Compromise, as it was known, would remain in impact for just over 30 years till the Kansas-Nebraska act of 1854 revoked it.
  • In 1857, the Supreme Court in Dred Scott's case found the agreement unconstitutional, setting the stage for the nation's final journey through the Civil War.
  • In 1820, while growing sectional tensions over the slavery issue, the U.S. Congress passed a law welcoming Missouri to the Union as a captive state and free state.
