Answer: Answer and explanation #1

President Harry Truman talks about "two ways of life" in a speech to Congress in 1947.

When Truman talks about two ways of life he calls them one "free" and other "totalitarian". By this time the term totalitarianism had already become famous to classify extremely authoritarian regimes like the nazi and soviet regimes.

Thus the president can only be referring to the opposition between capitalist and communist economic systems represented by the US and Soviet Union.

To answer if you agree with President Truman's argument you should ask yourself a few questions: was the US back then a regime that really followed the will of the majority? how was the US back then? how was the USSR? how did political persecution work there? was it really impossible to both systems to exist in the world? In short, you must check Truman's arguments to see if you agree or disagree with them.

Answer and explanation #2

Most historians agree that this speech was a declaration of the Cold War. It was given when the US saw that the USSR could amplify its influence on Western Europe and Africa: Truman spoke to Congress to get approval to financially aid Turkey and Greece regimes against leftist groups supported by the USSR.

So we see in this speech the entire framing of the Cold War: a war that was not fought directly but rather by securing influence zones. This speech was the beginning of the Truman Doctrine: it started the Containment Policy which compromised to stop the spreading of communism to other areas of the world other than the USSR.  

What Truman started in this speech was the modus operandi of the Cold War until its end in the late 20th century.

How many African-Americans lived in America in 1760?
sergiy2304 [10]
Around 1750, the British mainland American colonies had a population of approximately 1.5 million. In addition to settlers from Great Britain, a steady stream of German immigrants began to arrive in the late 1600s and reached its peak between 1749 and 1754, when more than 5,000 Germans arrived annually. Each year 3,500 black captives arrived from Africa or the Caribbean. Nearly 1 in 5 Americans, or 300,000 people, were enslaved. Poverty in Northern Ireland forced a massive flight of Scots-Irish to the colonies.
