When Carter ran for reelection, he won. A. True B. False

OpenStudy (surana):

Ronald Mcdonald *cough* Reagan came along.

OpenStudy (theyankee):

Carter was about as worthless as Lincoln. Thank god he wasn't re elected. OOPS Did I say that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so false? XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lincoln was a good president!

OpenStudy (surana):

And then it's false.

OpenStudy (surana):

LINCOLN WAS AWESOME!

OpenStudy (surana):

Best president of the US, hands down.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yankee is a bad person #InstaBanPlease

OpenStudy (theyankee):

I beg very much to differ. He violated Dixie's constitutional rights!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what!? he ended SLAVERY!

OpenStudy (surana):

He also put the US back together when it broke.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^

OpenStudy (surana):

And he was a reasonable, fair president.

OpenStudy (theyankee):

Reagan takes the name of best president. Wait a minute. I need to get you a quote. Just a second.

OpenStudy (surana):

Now, his successor is as worthless as Carter. That guy undid everything he did.

OpenStudy (surana):

Reagan is definitely up there for best president's of the US.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG A QUOTE? Do you guys think JFK was a good president?

OpenStudy (surana):

Barring saving us from the flying nukes o doom, no.

OpenStudy (theyankee):

In a letter to Horace Greeley he said "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." Meaning, his whole anti-slavery thing was for popularity. He was a tyrant!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (surana):

He got results. It worked.

OpenStudy (surana):

He freed the slaves. He came through with his word.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lincoln was not really a tyrant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When Carter ran for reelection, he won. A. True B. False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mind answering that while we're on the topic? XD

OpenStudy (surana):

No, he did not win. Because Ronald McDonald *cough* Reagan came along.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH FAIL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I se eu did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got caught up in this lincoln mess xd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just like FDR had the New Deal, what was Reagan’s plan called? A. Great Society B. Reagan Revolution C. The Great Frontier D. Reagan's Way

OpenStudy (surana):

The Reagan Revolution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyway. Yankee. Even if you meant that, he got results. Fixed up the country and was a great president!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What was “trickle- down” economics? A. Economics based on the idea that economic freedom helps create wealth that then goes down to all levels of society. B. Economics based on the idea that the federal government need to give poor people welfare, public housing, free food. C. Economics based on the idea that all property and income should be publically owned with everyone getting an equal share.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just to ask. What did Reagan do for the country ?

OpenStudy (surana):

What didn't he do?

OpenStudy (surana):

Took every single bad thing and corrected it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

XD

OpenStudy (surana):

Or at least did better than most.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer would be A or C

OpenStudy (theyankee):

He had the Russians cowering in fear! And he kept Jelly beans on his desk!!!!!! Lincoln violated the constitutional rights of the South when he ATTACKED them for succeeding. Quote from a confederate address "All we demand of other peoples is, to be let alone, to work out our own high destinies" Besides, most confederates didn't even own slaves. And union folks owned just as many!

OpenStudy (surana):

Actually, the South shot first. Lincoln said that he wanted to maintain a Union outpost, then the South just attacked it.

OpenStudy (surana):

Also, the South could not actually leave the US because they didn't do it formally. So technically, he was within his rights. And the Confederates did own slaves. It's how they got by on their plantations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yankee got rekt by Surana. GG

OpenStudy (surana):

Red Team is Victorious! SUCK IT BLUES!

OpenStudy (theyankee):

That outpost, For Sumter, was South of the dixon line, meaning it was in confederate territory. How would any other country react if we just said 'We're making a fort here, or occupying against your will. Get over it." Try that in Russia and see who fires.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Blue team fires back with a threat of "You ain't going no where!"

OpenStudy (surana):

You do realize that Fort Sumter was in Union territory. Muchinso we have embassies, Sumter was still Union territory. So it was an attack on Union territory, Lincoln responded as such.

OpenStudy (theyankee):

Of course the plantation owners had slaves. But your average, everyday man didn't. Once again, the poor and middle class are being summed up by a few crooked rich plantation owners.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh snap it's history throw down!

OpenStudy (surana):

There were a lot of plantation owners in the south.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry. If The unions kept buying and using all the slaves. Why did they VOTE to END SLAVERY? Tell me that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like really. You make the unions seem bad.

OpenStudy (surana):

Yeah, because voting to end slavery is such an evil.

OpenStudy (surana):

It's like not wanting to kill the terrorist because he's got feelings.

OpenStudy (surana):

And he makes good cookies.

OpenStudy (surana):

And watches Modern Family in his spare time.

OpenStudy (surana):

Even though he's got a gun pointed at your best friend in the whole wide world.

OpenStudy (theyankee):

Lincoln made it VERY CLEAR that he had NO intention of letting us succeed! What would you do? They were being forced to stay with something they didn't agree with! The Union was crooked. They took the South's tax money and left them in the dust. They used the money the Southerners were making to make their own cities more advanced. I'm not a racist. But here's the thing; The war was NOT about slavery. It was about state's rights! Slavery was part of it, yes, but it was mostly about the unfair taxes and the fact that the south had no say-so!

OpenStudy (surana):

And the Union won. Says a lot for the south.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH SNAP! Surana with the come back! Yankee come on!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also could you answer this @Surana What was “trickle- down” economics? A. Economics based on the idea that economic freedom helps create wealth that then goes down to all levels of society. B. Economics based on the idea that the federal government need to give poor people welfare, public housing, free food. C. Economics based on the idea that all property and income should be publically owned with everyone getting an equal share.

OpenStudy (surana):

T-D-E was basically the first one.

OpenStudy (surana):

Didn't feel like writing it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Huh?

OpenStudy (surana):

Trickle-Down-Economics = First answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ty

OpenStudy (theyankee):

(No, I don't agree with slavery, btw.) Of course! They were FARMERS trying to lead their own life. The Union had money and thousands of extra men! Sure, things were tight, but seriously? And established army against a few men just trying to protect their heritage? Of course it's a good chance they'll lose! A miracle like the revolutionary war can't happen everytime. Also, the Union came through and burned the cotton fields and resources so that the south would STARVE. That's fair warfare, huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Reagan’s deficits totaled more than the deficits of all the presidents before him combined. A. True B. False

OpenStudy (surana):

@AnimeWover Definitely true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IF THEY WERE AT WAR OF COURSE THEY WOULD WANT THEM TO STARVE.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bill Clinton was found guilty of committing “high crimes and misdemeanors”. A. True B. False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^Most likely false...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyway I won't pitch in. I am the announcer!

OpenStudy (theyankee):

(Lol....heated politics and openstudy questions simultaneously. This is amusing XD) I'm just saying....how can you expect an already poor people to pull through if the Union's taking cheap shots like that? They burned fields and homes. They robbed FAMILIES. They were no better than the British. The South wanted nothing more than to be left alone.

OpenStudy (surana):

Yankee, putting rules on warfare is like trying to stop the sun from rising. It's not going to work. In conflict, anything goes. The concept of total war, which was used by the North, meant that EVERYTHING not wearing Union Colors died, period. War is not about armies gallantly charging each other, where everything is decided simply and with honor. Every soul who has fought in conflict knows this. War is at heart, a terrible thing, messy, ethically wrong and horrific. There are no rules in anarchy.

OpenStudy (theyankee):

I would help with the questions, too, but I don't know so much of modern stuffs.

OpenStudy (surana):

Yeah, it's false Anime.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well. The south wanted slavery. Could you blame the union for wanting them GONE? Of course they would ROB THEM IN WAR. What part don't you understand? Being left alone, also meant slavery. it's really a shame

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w did the Cold War between the US and U.S.S.R. end? A. Communism failed the U.S.S.R. collapsed. B. The U.S. bombed the Soviet Union into collapse. C. Kruschev surrendered to the United States.

OpenStudy (surana):

Because communism collapsed. Thanks to Reagan.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We had a huge deficit during Clinton’s presidency. A. True B. False

OpenStudy (surana):

I think? Let's go with true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And don't pull that "No money" Bull on me. There were rich people down south with slaves.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The United States is attractive to immigrants from all over the world. A. True B. False

OpenStudy (theyankee):

I understand that there are no rules when it is soldier on soldier. But the families had no say! The children and wives...You think they could decide when women couldn't even vote? Besides; if the USA is suddenly the slave-savers of the world, why aren't they going after all the other countries in the world who own slaves? Also, Black men in the union army were paid HALF the wage of a white soldier and weren't allowed to fight side by side with them; they had to have their own units. Whereas in the Confederacy they were paid in FULL and treated like human beings. Plus, they were guaranteed freedom after a certain period of service. Which one sounds more racist to you? (By the way, the Union had slaves, too.) (That's true about the immigrants, btw)

OpenStudy (theyankee):

Yes. There were some rich folk. But most of them were poor farmers. Yes, there were plantation owners. No, they didn't make up the majority of the populous. So there were a few (several, actually) screwed up businessmen in the South; that doesn't mean every southerner was a racist swine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well OBVIOUSLY BLACKS HAD NO RIGHTS BACK THEN! And why would they want to invade all over the world? USA didn't want ANY PART of the eastern countries. Not unless it's REALLY NEEDED. We didn't wanna seem like a tyrant. More of an Ally. If you don't understand that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IT'S OBVIOUS THE FAMILIES ARE IN DANGER. They were not going to have a say. In war there is no emotion. Just WAR AND BLOOD

OpenStudy (surana):

Other countries can fight back. A lot more than the South could.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly

OpenStudy (surana):

Telling what was formerly home territory to do is one thing, telling Russia what to do is another thing entirely.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We are not going to invade countries that can fight back. HARD. Especially if we had a fight in our OWN COUNTRY. It's Logic. Fix out peace. NEVER make enemies.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But we already have Arabic and terrorists kill our countries. Why would we want to invade them to make it worse? THINK PLEASE (Not racist against arabics, but most of them are terroists)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

killing* country*

OpenStudy (surana):

Of course the families had no say, but they were part of the total war concept. It meant that family or no, they were still enemies, and thus they were attacked. Nullifying the population does wonders for suppressing rebellion. After all, there is no rebellion if there is no one to rebel.

OpenStudy (theyankee):

Many of the folks in the confederacy held no hatred toward blacks (although you did have your few.) The South gave its best. The were outnumbered, outmanned, outsupplied, but never out fought. The confederates were courageous and fought for their state's rights. (Some did it for slavery, but not most. But people focus on the bad ones.) That's all you can ask from a man is to give it his best. Whether they won or not, they did their best. And for being such weaklings, they fought hard for almost fives years and took 67,000 men with them and mortally wounded 43,000

OpenStudy (surana):

And then they lost. Shows where all their courage and whatnot got them.
