Why was the word "escalation" used by critics of the Vietnam War?

History
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
5 0

Because LBJ, under the Tolkien Resolution, was given basically infinite power to protect U.S interests in Vietnam. Thus, President Johnson continued to "escalate", or build up American forces, weapons, and intervention in Vietnam. Now, somewhat opposite of this would be "Vietnamization" under Nixon, which was the gradual withdrawal of American troops but a continuation of supplies in order to aid South Vietnam from the Vietcong.

What were some of the restrictions placed on black according to the jim crow laws?
vekshin1
There were several different restrictions placed on blacks due to the Jim Crow laws. The following are just a couple examples.

1) Poll taxes- This was a certain amount of money an individual would have to pay in order to vote. This negatively effected African-Americans, as many of them could not afford this tax.

2) Literacy tests- These were written tests that individuals had to pass in order to vote. These were extremely difficult to do well on, due to the wording of the question or the time given to complete the test. This targeted African-Americans, as many of them had no formal schooling as of this time period.

3) Segregated public facilities- Everything from public schools to public pools were segregated in order to keep blacks and whites away from each other.

What is the importance of "We the people" in the beginning of the US Constitution?
Temka [501]

The importance is that for the first time in history, a national constitution explicitly stated that it had been drafted not by a monarch or a group of barons but by representatives of ordinary citizens. It expressed the fact that such government had been instituted by the democratic will of the people and not by the “divine right” of a monarch or ruler.

It is definitely a collective term; it puts forward the right of self-government of the national community. It does not express the ruling will of an individual person but the collective will of an entire nation.
