Up until the mid-19th century, most Irish immigrants in America were members of the Protestant middle class. When the Great Potato Famine hit Ireland in 1845, close to 1 million poor and uneducated Irish Catholics began pouring into America to escape starvation. Despised for their alien religious beliefs and unfamiliar accents by the American Protestant majority, the immigrants had trouble finding even menial jobs. When Irish Americans in the country's cities took to the streets on St. Patrick's Day to celebrate their heritage, newspapers portrayed them in cartoons as drunk, violent monkeys.The American Irish soon began to realize, however, that their large and growing numbers endowed them with a political power that had yet to be exploited. They started to organize, and their voting block, known as the "green machine," became an important swing vote for political hopefuls. Suddenly, annual St. Patrick's Day parades became a show of strength for Irish Americans, as well as a must-attend event for a slew of political candidates. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman attended New York City 's St. Patrick's Day parade, a proud moment for the many Irish Americans whose ancestors had to fight stereotypes and racial prejudice to find acceptance in the New World.All of the following are implied by the passage EXCEPTA. The Irish immigrants came to America to find new opportunities and break away from the scarcity in Ireland which was ravaged by the Potato Famine.B. Green Machines were first created to exploit the growing Irish population in America and form a formidable voter group.C. The first St. Patrick's Day celebrations were not welcomed positively by the American public.D. Most politicians who supported the cause of the Irish immigrants were Democrats.E. The Irish population in America had grown to more than several hundred thousands by the end of the mid 19th century.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Most politicians who supported the cause of the Irish immigrants were Democrats

Explanation:

Even though, President Harry S. Truman is a democrat. The passage did not imply that "Most politicians who supported the cause of the Irish immigrants were Democrats."

Because the passage only made mention of the name of the President that once attended the St Patrick's Day parade in New York. And also there other political candidates who attended the Day but not that majority of the Democrats politicians support the cause of the Irish.

The map shows the Oregon Trail.



What does the map indicate about those who followed the Oregon Trail west?

They rarely settled far from the trail.
They founded San Francisco.
They followed only one route.
They had a variety of destinations.

Answers

Answer:

They followed only one route

"The map indicates that those who followed the Oregon Trail west followed only one route."

The Oregon Trail was a wagon road stretch-ing 2170 miles from Miss-ouri to Oregon's Willam-ette Valley. It was not a ro-ad in any mod-ern sense, on-ly para-llel ruts lead-ing across end-less prairie, sage-brush desert, & moun-tains.

The east-ern part of the Oregon Trail span-ned part of what is now the state of Kansas & nearly all of what are now the st-ates of Nebraska & Wyoming. The west-ern half of the trail span-ned most of the current st-ates of Idaho & Oregon. The answer is they follow-ed only one route.

Do you think Hitler‘s aggressive behavior at something do with him being a product of incest? Or do you think it was his home life / death of Brothers?

Answers

Answer:

I do not think that it had to do with him being a product of incest. It was most likely because of his early home life.

Explanation:

Adolf Hitler was born to Alois Hitler and Klara Polzl. The relationship between his parents is thought to be that of first cousins once removed. His aggressive behavior can be linked to his childhood days when he always got into trouble with his father who was short-fused. This likely affected his mental health for he began to withdraw from social activities while in school.

He would rather delight in relishing scenes from the Boer War. Losing his parents at an early age and having to hustle for the early parts of his life in hostels must have also contributed to his becoming hardened and the aggressiveness that followed.

In what ways did most people in Germany benefit from the Nazi economic policies?

Answers

Answer: For Hitler, economics was not the primary thing.

Explanation:

On several occasions during his life, he expressed disgust for capitalism and all the elements it carries with it because he considered capitalism to be a product of the Jews. Nevertheless, there was a certain economic policy in Nazi Germany. It meant the privatization of a large number of companies, and all those who worked more or less for the army or the state in that context received large subsidies. In 1933, when he became Chancellor, Hitler presented the so-called "Reinhardt Program" for infrastructural development.

To this end, it has drastically reduced taxes on contractors, so they have employed large numbers of people. He did the same thing in the construction industry. The Nazis came to power during the Great Depression, which erupted in the United States and spread throughout the world. Hitler, through his economy minister, sought to encourage public works and reduce unemployment.

Explain why reliance on french goods had tragic consequences for the Wichitas

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:Ancestors of the Wichita and their allies, the Tawakoni and Waco, have resided on the southern plains since precontact times. The Southern Plains Village archaeological tradition was well established by A.D. 800, and the villages of these early horticulturalists and hunters were located from south central Kansas to northern Texas throughout the historic period. During the eighteenth century the Kichai, once a member of the Caddoan Confederacy, joined the allied tribes who were assigned to a reservation in Indian Territory in 1859. The Wichita remained in their ancestral homeland. Contemporary Wichita, Tawakoni, Waco, and Kichai are organized as the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes, a federally recognized tribe with headquarters at Anadarko, Oklahoma.

Answer:

D. Destroying food supplies so that they would not fall into the hands of enemy troops

Explanation:

The Colonial Experience in World War II

World War II had tragic consequences not only for the European states but also for their colonies. The war destroyed existing trade networks and disrupted regular commercial activities. These disruptions caused widespread famine in colonized countries. For example, the Japanese took rice for their military from colonial Vietnam, and consequently, as many as two million people died of starvation. One of the worst famines occurred in the Bengal Province of India, where the Japanese were fighting the British. To slow down the Japanese, the British used a scorched earth strategy, meaning that the British deliberately burned Bengali villagers' food supplies so that the enemy troops could not use them. That strategy, combined with a particularly destructive cyclone that swept through the region in 1942, was responsible for the deaths of more than three million people. Colonized people trapped in the middle between empires at war found themselves in similar conditions throughout World War II.
