Who was Dorie Miller? How did the U.S. Navy treat Black sailors in 1941?

Answers

Answer 1
When he splashed ashore, Miller later told his brother, “with those bullets spattering all around me, it was by the grace of God that I never got a scratch.” Even then, Miller helped scores of injured sailors to safety ashore. Of West Virginia's 1,541 crewmembers, 106 were killed and 52 wounded. In April 1941, the U.S. Navy convened its General Board to discuss expansion of the USMC. Major General Thomas Holcomb, Commandant of the Marines, who lived in Delaware and Washington, DC in his early years and attended private schools, said that African Americans had no right to serve as Marines. He said, "If it were a question of having a Marine Corps of 5,000 whites or 250,000 Negroes, I would rather have the whites."

In 1941, civil rights activists Bayard Rustin, A. Philip Randolph, and A. J. Muste pushed Roosevelt to order fair employment for blacks in the federal government. Many rural southern African-Americans who had arrived in urban Northern and Western states in search of defense industry jobs during the second phase of the Great Migration were faced with constant discrimination in housing, on the job market, and in their recreational activities.

After the activists threatened to march on Washington D.C. in July 1941, Roosevelt - faced with a public relations disaster for his presidency and wanting to unite all Americans in striving towards defeating fascism - issued Executive Order 8802 on June 25, 1941, which ordered the elimination of racial discrimination from federal departments, agencies, the military, and private defense contractors, after which the planned march was cancelled.

Directed by Roosevelt and U.S. Navy Secretary Frank Knox to accept black recruits, Holcomb proposed a separate battalion of African Americans, a seacoast defense battalion armed with anti-aircraft and anti-shipping artillery. To make this battalion self-supporting, Holcomb determined that it would contain a rifle company, special weapons platoons, and a light tank platoon—all manned by black Marines.

List two reasons why the Ottoman Turks wanted to conquer Constantinople

Answers

Answer: Money, Resources, and Power

Explanation:

Constantinople divides most of Europe and Asia, and served as a middle ground between the two countries. If the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople, it would give them the power to control all trade routes and resources coming in and out of the Bosporous Straight. As I mentioned earlier, Constantinople sits directly between Asia and Europe where the Bosporous Straight is located which would give the Ottoman Empire complete control over trade between the two countries.

Constantinople also served as a religious symbol for Muslims. The Ottoman Empire's official religion was Islam and the prophet Mohammed had stated that Constantinople would be conquered by Muslims to become a Muslim city. This further strengthened their religious influence considering that the Ottoman Empire was openly opposed to Judaism and Christianity. While they were generally tolerant, they promoted conversion and creating an officially Muslim city would cement their religious power and influence.

The 1828 Tariff was referred to as an "abomination" by Southerners. Choose the definition that best describes the word.
O A. Disgust
O B. Loathing
O C. Anger
O D. Explosive​

Answers

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

The word that best describes the word 'abomination' is loathing. The term abomination is used to refer to the feelings of hatred, that is synonymous with the word loathing.

The 1828 Tariff was the tariff imposed on Americans under the presidency of John Quincy Adams. The tariffs were imposed to protect American industry from British products being sold at cheaper rate. The tariffs were named as Tariff of Abominations by the Southerners.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
