History

Answer:

Starting with Illinois in 1911, the "mother's pension" movement sought to provide state aid for poor fatherless children who would remain in their own homes cared for by their mothers. In effect, poor single mothers would be excused from working outside the home. Welfare reformers argued that the state pensions would also prevent juvenile delinquency since mothers would be able to supervise their children full-time.

By 1933, mother's pension programs were operating in all but two states. They varied greatly from state to state and even from county to county within a state. In 1934, the average state grant per child was $11 a month. Administered in most cases by state juvenile courts, mother's pensions mainly benefitted families headed by white widows. These programs excluded large numbers of divorced, deserted, and minority mothers and their children.

Answer:

Follow this structure for your essay:

• First paragraph: Introduces the topic and includes a thesis statement – one of the following:

- President John F. Kennedy should be awarded a peace prize for his role in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

- President John F. Kennedy should not be awarded a peace prize for his role in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

• Second paragraph: Provides details to support your thesis statement. Use information from the Notes on a Crisis sheet from the previous lesson and from the websites listed in this lesson online.

• Third paragraph: Summarizes and concludes the essay. Restate the thesis statement.

Explanation:

Here are a couple paragraphs to help you get started:

1. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, leaders of the U.S. and the Soviet Union engaged in a tense, 13-day political and military standoff in October 1962 over the installation of nuclear-armed Soviet missiles on Cuba, just 90 miles from U.S. shores. In a TV address on October 22, 1962, President John Kennedy (1917-63) informed Americans about the nearness of the rockets, disclosed his choice to order a maritime bar around Cuba and made it understood the U.S. was set up to utilize military power if important to eliminate this apparent risk to national security. Following this news, many people feared the world was on the brink of nuclear war. However, disaster was avoided when the U.S. agreed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s (1894-1971) offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba. Kennedy also secretly agreed to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.

2. The Cuban Missile crisis comes to a close as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev agrees to remove Russian missiles from Cuba in exchange for a promise from the United States to respect Cuba’s territorial sovereignty. This finished almost two weeks of nervousness and strains between the United States and the Soviet Union that verged on inciting an atomic clash. The outcomes of the emergency were numerous and changed. Relations among Cuba and the Soviet Union were by no means in a well established position for quite a while after Khrushchev's expulsion of the rockets, as Fidel Castro blamed the Russians for throwing in the towel from the Americans and abandoning the Cuban insurgency. European partners of the United States were likewise irritated, not due to the U.S. position during the emergency, but since the Kennedy organization kept them for all intents and purposes in obscurity about exchanges that may have prompted a nuclear war.

(personally I think Nikita Khrushchev should be the one to receive the peace prize but the choice is yours to make!)

I hope this helps!
