But history’s most unfair treatment of Hoover is its inattention to his life before he was president. An engineer who parlayed his talents into immense wealth, Hoover was an organizational genius, which is why, after World War I, Hoover was tasked — actually, he volunteered — with caring for the millions of Europeans left homeless and starving in that war’s wake. Hoover’s Commission for Relief in Belgium, and his later American Relief Commission, helped ensure the recovery and reconstruction of war-ravaged nations across the European continent, earning Hoover the nickname “The Great Humanitarian.” It also earned him The New York Times’ designation as one of the “Ten Most Important Living Americans.”

Infer why the Romans believed Jesus was a threat. minimum of 3 sentences

Goshia [24]

They didn't. At the time that Jesus lived the Romans had very little dealings with him. In fact they didn't even know who he was. That's why when it came time to arrest Jesus they had to have someone (Judas) point him out. It was only a certain group of Jewish authorities who perceived Jesus as a threat and so acted against him.

What happened at the battle of spotsylvania and the battle of cold harbor?

stepan [7]

They were two of the early battles in Grant's Overland Campaign in Virginia. It launched in May 1864. They were both Confederate wins, though the first one has costed Lee his cavalry chief Jeb Stuart. The second was an expensive failure, and Grant gave up the idea of frontal assaults on Lee. He now crowded Lee into a corner at Petersburg- the long siege that eventually ended the war.
