As part of his state modernization program, Huey Long tripled the size of Louisiana State University (LSU), opening enrollment to all able poor students and building it into one of the finest universities in the South.
Elephants vs. Tigers
A favorite story about Huey Long's devotion to Louisiana State University recounts when the circus was scheduled to come through town on LSU game day. Long feared that the parade of animals through Baton Rouge might reduce attendance at the LSU Tigers' football game.
The Governor called the circus owner to ask him to postpone the parade until the following day. When the owner refused, Long replied, “Fine. As you know, Louisiana has a flea-dipping law and you’ll be expected to dip the elephants upon crossing the state line.” The circus was rescheduled.
In 1928, LSU was a small-time country school that generated little interest or attention in the state. Labeled a “third-rate” institution by the Association of State Universities, the school had only 1800 students, 168 faculty members, and an annual operating budget of $800,000.
In 1930, Huey Long initiated a massive building program on campus to expand the physical plant and add departments. By 1936, LSU had the finest facilities in the South, a top-notch faculty of 394 professors, a new medical school, more than 6,000 students, and a winning football team. In only eight years, it had risen in size from 88th in the nation to 20th, and it was the 11th largest state university in the nation.

To generate excitement for LSU, Long’s first step was to quadruple the size of the marching band (from 28 to 125) and develop a first-rate football team. He became the state’s most prominent ‘Tiger fan’ – coaching plays, giving locker room pep talks and personally recruiting top talent for the team. LSU fever swept the state, as reduced tuition and need-based scholarships allowed students from all regions to flock to Baton Rouge to study.
Long financed these improvements by arranging for the state to purchase acreage from the LSU campus, which adjoined the grounds of the new State Capitol building. To the consternation of his critics, Long essentially diverted $9 million for LSU’s expansion and increased the annual operating budget to $2.8 millio

According to the passages, why would Benjamin Lundy reject William Travis's notion
that the Texan rebels are fighting for liberty?
"A blood-red banner waves from the church of Bejar, and in the camp above us, in
token that the war is one of vengeance against rebels; they have declared us such,
and demanded that we should surrender at discretion, or that this garrison should be
put to the sword. Their threats have had no influence on me, or my men, but to make
all fight with desperation, and that high souled courage which characterizes the
patriot, who is willing to die in defence of his country's liberty and his own honor." -
William Travis
“But the prime cause and the real objects of this war are not distinctly understood by
a large portion of the honest, disinterested, and well-meaning citizens of the United
States. ... [M]any of them have been deceived and misled by the misrepresentations
of those concerned in it, and especially by hireling writers for the newspaper press.
They have been induced to believe that the inhabitants of Texas were engaged in a
legitimate contest for the maintenance of the sacred principles of Liberty, and the
natural, inalienable Rights of Man: whereas .... the immediate cause and the leading
object of this contest originated in a settled design, among the slaveholders of this
country (with land speculators and slave-traders), to wrest the large and valuable
territory of Texas from the Mexican Republic, in order to re-establish the SYSTEM
OF SLAVERY; to open a vast and profitable SLAVE-MARKET therein; and, ultimately,
to annex it to the United States...."-Benjamin Lundy
Answer:
Benjamin Lundy rejected William Travis's notion that the Texan rebels are fighting for liberty as Texan rebels were planning to expand slavery, which negated any claims about liberty.
Explanation:
Benjamin Lundy was an abolitionist and publisher in the 1820s and 30s.
In his text titled "The Life, Travels, and Opinions of Benjamin Lundy," he shared his concerning the Texan rebels. William Travis, the lawyer, shared his concern about the Texan rebels and believed that they were fighting for liberty. To this Benjamin opined that Texan rebels were not fighting for liberty as they were planning to expand slavery, which invalidate such claims.

Read the excerpt from "Edward Jenner and the History of Smallpox and Vaccination.”
Smallpox was introduced to Europe sometime between the fifth and seventh centuries and was frequently epidemic during the Middle Ages. The disease greatly affected the development of Western civilization. The first stages of the decline of the Roman Empire (AD 108) coincided with a large-scale epidemic: the plague of Antonine, which accounted for the deaths of almost 7 million people. The Arab expansion, the Crusades, and the discovery of the West Indies all contributed to the spread of the disease.
The author most supports his argument that smallpox devastated mankind over the centuries by providing

How did some nineteenth-century thinkers use science to promote racist beliefs?
Answer:
Natural Selection
Explanation:
19th century thinkers had a lot of justifications for racism. The most common one however, was that how there are animals that are ”less evolved” for lack of a better word, there’s always another animal that triumphs over them, like deer and lions. People used that to suggest that African Americans were “naturally inferior” or less than Europeans or white men.

How did politicians
react to slavery?
They were in 2 different sides. The Abolitionists and the Pro-Slavery politicians. Some were heavily against slavery and started a movement to abolish it, some even tried freeing slaves. Pro-slavery politicians were in heavy support of it and did everything in their power to keep it alive in the South. It got to the point where all the Southern States threatened to secede from the United States in the late 1850s, and even caused Virginia to split into 2 states, Virginia and West Virginia.

President Clinton was impeached for lying in court and obstructing justice.Why was he not removed from office?
A. The Senate did not reach a two-thirds majority vote in favor of removal from office.
B. The Senate vote ended in a tie, and Vice President Gore broke it by voting against removal.
C.Senate Republicans agreed with the majority of Americans who approved of Clinton's job performance.
D.The Supreme Court did not reach a two-thirds majority opinion.
The correct answer is A. The Senate did not reach a two-thirds majority vote in favor of removal from office.
Explanation
The impeachment of Bill Clinton was a judicial process in which Bill Clinton was confronted in the Senate and the House of Representatives on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. This process began on December 19, 1998. However, Clinton did not lose his position because the vote did not reach the minimum necessary to remove the president (67 out of 100 senators). The final vote was 50 votes in favor of dismissal for the obstruction of justice case and 45 voted to dismiss him on the perjury charge. Therefore, the minimum of two-third was not reached, so the answer is A. The Senate did not reach a two-thirds majority vote in favor of removal from office.

briefly explain one crop animal or disease that Europeans brought to the new world and the long-term effect that it had on The Americans
Answer:
Environmental changes
The European presence in America spurred countless changes in the environment, negatively affecting native animals as well as people. The popularity of beaver-trimmed hats in Europe, coupled with Native Americans’ desire for European weapons, led to the overhunting of beavers in the Northeast. Soon, beavers were extinct in New England, New York, and other areas. With their loss came the loss of beaver ponds, which had served as habitats for fish as well as water sources for deer, moose, and other animals. Furthermore, Europeans introduced pigs, which they allowed to forage in forests and other wildlands. Pigs consumed the foods on which deer and other indigenous species depended, resulting in scarcity of the game native peoples had traditionally hunted.
European ideas about owning land as private property clashed with indigenous people's understanding of land use. Native Americans did not believe in private ownership of land; instead, they viewed land as a resource to be held in common for the benefit of the group. Colonizers erected fields, fences, and other means of demarcating private property. Indigenous people who moved seasonally to take advantage of natural resources now found areas off-limits, claimed by colonizers.
Introduction of disease
Perhaps the single greatest impact of European colonization on the North American environment was the introduction of disease. Microbes to which native inhabitants had no immunity caused sickness and death everywhere Europeans settled. Along the New England coast between 1616 and 1618, epidemics claimed the lives of 75 percent of the indigenous people. In the 1630s, half of the Huron and Iroquois people living near the Great Lakes died of smallpox. The very young and the very old were the most vulnerable and had the highest mortality rates. The loss of the older generation meant the loss of knowledge and tradition, while the deaths of children only compounded the trauma.
Some indigenous people perceived disease as a weapon used by hostile spiritual forces, and they went to war to exorcise the disease from their midst. These “mourning wars” in eastern North America were designed to gain captives who would either be adopted or ritually tortured and executed to assuage the anger and grief caused by loss.
Why did the United States choose to fight Communism abroad?
please this is due tomorrow!!!
Answer:
They believed that communism was too totalitarian and wouldn't let people choose government. 2) The U.S. is a capitalist country, and so its prosperity depends on having people buy its products all over the world. In communist countries, there is no private property, so it cuts people off from buying products.
