The great landowners who became Rome's ruling class were referred to as "Patricians", from the word having to do with "father," whereas the lower class was the "Plebians".
Eugene Talmadge was an outspoken governor of Georgia and was found to be vocally criticizing F.D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs. He believed FDR was overstepping his position in forcing states to participate in New Deal programs with specifics laid out. States were required to run programs like the CCC and WPA which provided jobs for many out of work people. The biggest issue with these programs for a southern was the equal opportunity provided to blacks. Talmadge argued it should be a state's rights to employ who wished in the programs. Georgia still practiced Jim Crow segregation, literacy tests, poll taxes, and lynchings to maintain racial separation in the state.
Answer:
Edward the Confessor died on 5 January 1066. He had no children. Three men wanted to be king of England. Each man thought he had the best claim to the throne. The next king of England would have to win it in a war. Who do you think had the best claim to the throne?
Explanation:
Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex
Harold was a powerful and rich English nobleman. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Edward named Godwinson as his successor on his deathbed. The next day, the royal council, known as the Witan, met and declared Godwinson king. An English king was proclaimed by the Witan - this gave Harold Godwinson the only claim to the throne by right.
William, Duke of Normandy
The Norman chroniclers reported that Edward had promised his distant relative, William, the throne in 1051. William was the only blood relative of Edward, but the English throne was not hereditary anyway. Claims that Edward promised the throne were probably made up by the rival sides after the event. The Bayeux Tapestry, which was made after the Conquest, shows Godwinson swearing an oath of support to William in a visit to Normandy in 1064. William was supported by the Pope.
Harald Hardrada, King of Norway, Viking warrior
Hardrada based his claim on the fact that his ancestor, King Cnut, had once ruled England (1016‒1035). He was helped by Godwinson's half-brother, Tostig.
