Answer:

<h2>d) flexible response</h2>

The idea of "flexible response," initiated by the Kennedy administration in 1961, was to be able to respond to to military aggression in ways appropriate to each situation.  Flexible response meant using conventional weapons and methods as appropriate rather than relying on a nuclear arsenal as the USA's primary deterrent in dealing with adversaries.

This was a reaction over against the brinkmanship that had developed under the Eisenhower administration, with the threat of massive retaliation against anyone who threatened the US.  John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State under President Eisenhower, had developed the strong approach, going further than the containment policy of the previous administration (of Pres. Truman).  In 1956, Dulles described brinkmanship as "the ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

How was the south different then the north before the Civil War
ruslelena [56]

The North was mainly an urban society in which people held jobs.

The South was primarily an agricultural society in which people lived in small villages and on farms and plantations.

Because of their cultural differences, people of the North and South found it difficult to agree on social and political issues.

The North was a manufacturing region, and its people favored tariffs that protected factory owners and workers from foreign competition.

Southerners opposed tariffs that would cause prices of manufactured goods to increase. Planters were also concerned that England might stop buying cotton from the South if tariffs were added.

While there were several differences between the North and the South, the issues related to slavery increasingly divided the nation and led to the Civil War.

A major conflict was states’ rights versus strong central government.
