How did bonnie and clyde achieve the American dream?

History
1 answer:
tester [92]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Their legend has to be seen in the context of the time.

Explanation:

They were seen by many who were suffering because of the Great Depression and The Dust Bowl as almost a couple of Robin Hood characters.

They liked to make a point of letting local people such as farmers keep their money when robbing banks, and the robbing of banks were seen by many in the areas they were operating, as a blow by ordinary people against the financial institutions which were crippling them.

To what extent this was achieving the American Dream is open to question. They were killers who did not hesitate in killing anyone who threatened their arrest. This is undisputedly the case with Clyde Barrow. There are conflicting arguments as to how much direct involvement Bonnie Parker had in their killing spree.

Certainly the myth of The American dream was reflected in the thousands who turned up at both funerals.

I want to know about the history of The Opium War
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The Opium War, usually the Opium War refers to the First Opium War, which the British often refer to as the First Sino-British War or "Trade War", which was an unjust war of aggression launched by Britain against China from 1840 to 1842, and also the beginning of China's modern history of humiliation.

In 1840 (the twentieth year of Daoguang), the British government decided to send an expeditionary force to invade China under the pretext of Lin Zexu's Humen tobacco sales. In June 1840, 47 British ships and 4,000 army personnel, led by Rear Admiral George Yilu and Yi Lu, the commercial supervisor in China, arrived outside the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong province, blockaded Haikou, and the Opium War began.

The Opium War ended with China's defeat and the cession of land in reparations. China and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanking, the first unequal treaty in Chinese history. China began to cede land, pay indemnities, and agree on tariffs to foreign countries, which seriously endangered China's sovereignty, began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, lost its independent and autonomous status, and promoted the disintegration of the small-scale peasant economy. At the same time, the Opium War also opened a new chapter in the history of the resistance of the Chinese people to foreign aggression in modern times.

What happened under President Johnson's plan for Reconstruction?
MatroZZZ [7]

The correct answer is letter A

Unlike most presidents, Johnson has a distant background in the aristocracy. He owned a tailoring shop in the state of Tennessee, the "volunteering state".

In local debates, he defended the common man and attacked the plantation aristocracy. In the 1840s and 1850s, as a member of the House and Senate, he defended a bill to provide free land to the poor.

Johnson remained in the Senate even when Tennessee, along with the other southern states, joined the secession. The decision made him popular in the northern United States, as Johnson was showing himself to be in favor of the Union, not of the break-up of the United States.
