¨The use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese

were already defeated and ready to surrender. . . . In being the first to use it, we . . . adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children. . . . I voiced my grave misgiving, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary and . . . I thought was no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives. It was my belief that Japan was, at that very moment, seeking some way to surrender with a minimum loss of "face."

Who were bonnie and clyde and how did their actions affect the midwestern united states during the early 1930s?
Montano1993 [528]
Bonnie Parker was born on October 1, 1910, in Rowena, Texas. After meeting Clyde Barrow in 1930, Parker eventually entered a world of crime. Robbing banks and small businesses with her partner and affiliated gang, she became one of America's most infamous outlaws of the '30s. Their almost two-year crime spree spanned several states, with the gang responsible for the murder of several people that included law enforcement officials.

Bonnie and Clyde had many immediate effects and several long term effects on society. One of the biggest short-term effects was the loss families had after Bonnie or Clyde killed someone. One long-term effect was the fictionalized ideas of what Bonnie and Clyde were.

There were many short term effects that Bonnie and Clyde had on the society around them. The biggest short-term effect was the loss families had to deal with after Bonnie and Clyde had Killed one of their family members. Another short-term effect was obviously the change in the police officers lives that were after them, especially retired Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, who was specially brought in to take down Bonnie and Clyde.

While the long-term effects made by Bonnie and Clyde were not as significant to their immediate effects, they are still a large part of society today. One of the long-term effects created by these two was the fictionalized ideas of what the couple was. Even though they were bank robbers they never really had a lot of money and they often camped out and were constantly on the run. Another long-term effect that Bonnie and Clyde had on society is their reputation. When anyone thinks of classic bank robbers, two that instantly comes to mind are Bonnie and Clyde.
