Answer:

Explanation:

Background

First of all, you have to know who accused Hughes and of what. Hughes was one of the literary figures of the Harlem Renaissance.

As a poet, he saw his job, I would guess, as a trumpeter pointing out what was wrong with America. In that regard he was a fore runner to Martin Luther King. He (Hughes) did not preach violence. He merely testified before the Senate un-american activities Committee. His poetry came out when he tried to describe himself to lead council. Hughes was asked if he was influenced by the Communist party.

Hughes said yes, but his mind was like a sponge -- it absorbed material from everything he encountered. This was not what lead council was looking for. Like most lawyers, he was looking for a black and white answer and he wasn't getting it.

One of the blackest marks against America was the House of Unamerican activities. It flew in the face of everything the 1st Amendment stood for. So yes, Hughes had a perfect right to speak. He was not like Malcolm X or any of the other violent leaders of Civil Rights. He was a poet seeking answers. When has that become unamerican?

  • <u>Political views. Hughes was drawn to Communism as an alternative to a segregated America. Many of his lesser-known political writings have been collected in two volumes published by the University of Missouri Press and reflect his attraction to Communism. An example is the poem "A New Song".</u>

  • <u>I, </u><u>too” is Hughes at his most optimistic, reveling in the bodies and souls of his people and the power of that presence in transcendent change. But he fully realized the obstacles to true African-American emancipation and acceptance in the house of American democracy.</u>

enot [183]
<span>I think the wars were inevitable. Since Germany was so hell-bent on taking over other countries, war would likely result. Unfortunately, nothing was resolved, including the economy. Thus war number 2. Since WW I devastated the economy in Germany and other counties, the rise of Hitler was possible.</span>

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Any person who paid a fee of $300 – that is, the yearly wage of a common laborer - could be excused from the draft call, but there was a possibility of drafting again in the next levy. The one who wanted permanent exemption could hire someone who was willing to enlist as a substitute in his place. These clauses, especially payment, caused many to say that it was "a rich man's war, but a poor man's fight." The same complaint was observed in the South.
