Answer:

Government programs created during the Great Society contributed to the rising national debt in the late-20th and early-21st centuries.

Explanation:

The Great Society was a program and set of domestic policy measures of the United States in the 1960s, proposed and put in place by President Lyndon B. Johnson as a continuation of the New Frontier of John F. Kennedy.

The main decisions taken were to provide social assistance for people over 65 (with the creation of Medicare), as well as for the poor (with the creation of Medicaid);  to promote education; and to fight against inequalities, especially against racism, and to promote a more just world; in particular, the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, giving black people rights they did not have before.

In spite of all these advances, the programs of the Great Society also implied certain inconveniences: they represented expenses that did not exist before, reason why they increased the public debt of the federal government to levels never seen before. Especially, Medicaid and Medicare represent large expenditures by the government, which considerably tilt the balance of public spending in the United States.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Incomplete question. However, I inferred from a historical perspective.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Thomas Gage (General Thomas Gage) was is a famous British general that controlled a large portion of British soldiers in North America during the British colonial era.

His statement likely came at a time when there was large opposition coming from Boston over perceived injustices from the government. Hence, his statement meant they (those in power) were losing or not in control over Boston.

Vietnam War the aftermath
patriot [66]
The most immediate effect of the Vietnam War was the staggering death toll. The war killed an estimated 2 million Vietnamese civilians, 1.1 million North Vietnamese troops, 200,000 South Vietnamese troops, and 58,000 U.S. troops. Those wounded in combat numbered tens of thousands more. The massive U.S. bombing of both North and South Vietnam left the country in ruins, and the U.S. Army’s use of herbicides such as Agent Orange not only devastated Vietnam’s natural environment but also caused widespread health problems that have persisted for decades.
