What was the major agreement in this resolution? What did Congress approve of and support, and why?
I'm sorry, I cannot answer this question without context. Please provide more information or specify which resolution you are referring to.
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, approved by Congress on August 10, 1964
What was the major agreement in this resolution? What did Congress approve of and support, and why?
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a joint resolution passed by the U.S. Congress in response to the Gulf of Tonkin incident, in which the U.S. claimed that North Vietnamese gunboats had attacked American ships. The main agreement in the resolution was to give U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson the authority to take any measures necessary, including the use of military force, to repel any attack and prevent further aggression in Southeast Asia.
Congress approved and supported the resolution because they believed that the U.S. needed to take strong action to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. At the time, the U.S. was already providing military aid to the South Vietnamese government as part of its Cold War policy of containment. Congress saw the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution as a way to give the President the necessary authority to escalate U.S. involvement in the conflict.
However, the resolution was controversial, and some members of Congress later regretted their vote. The Gulf of Tonkin incident was later revealed to have been exaggerated, and the resolution became a symbol of the U.S. government's misguided and costly involvement in the Vietnam War.
Which of the following factors led to public opinion turning against the Vietnam War? (2 point)
*
A. The long length (15+ years) that the conflict had dragged on
B. Lyndon B. Johnson refused to support the Vietnam war and the public joined him
C. Demoralizing events like the Tet Offensive hurt the US Military will to continue
D. The United States decided to take the war directly to Russia and China instead
C. Demoralizing events like the Tet Offensive hurt the US Military will to continue. The Tet Offensive was a significant turning point in the Vietnam War. The surprise attack by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces on multiple targets throughout South Vietnam during the Lunar New Year in January 1968 produced extensive casualties and damage, and it became a widely recognized defeat for the United States. The American public was deeply shocked and disillusioned by the offensive and the widespread images of death and destruction it produced. It contributed significantly to the erosion of public support for the Vietnam War and led to widespread protests and calls for peace. The other options have limited or no relevance to the change in public opinion towards the Vietnam War.

A. The long length (15+ years) that the conflict had dragged on and C. Demoralizing events like the Tet Offensive hurt the US Military will to continue. The long length of the war caused fatigue and frustration among the American public, as there seemed to be no clear end in sight despite significant expenditure of resources and loss of life. Add to this the demoralizing events like the Tet Offensive, which turned public opinion against the war effort. These events created a sense that the war was unwinnable and that there was no clear strategy to achieve the stated goals of the conflict.

The Cuban Missile Crisis led the United States and the Soviet Union to (1 point)
*
A. move toward détente, because we were WAY too close to Nuclear War
B. tear down the Berlin Wall, because the USSR couldn't be trusted anymore
C. fight several battles in Cuba over the missile sites
D. break off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union
A. move toward détente, because we were WAY too close to Nuclear War. The Cuban Missile Crisis was one of the most dangerous moments of the Cold War. US and Soviet forces were nearly on the brink of a full-scale nuclear war over the placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba. However, after tense negotiations, the two countries reached a compromise that removed the missiles from Cuba and eased tensions between them. The crisis led to a move toward détente, which was a period of improved relations and reduced tensions between the US and the Soviet Union. The two countries began to engage in more diplomacy and arms-control agreements. The other options are incorrect as they are not what happened as a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Which states allowed but did not require school segregation? (1 point)

A. Colorado-Kansas-New Mexico-Wyoming
B. Arizona-Kansas-New Mexico-Wyoming
C. Arizona-Texas-Kansas-Wyoming
D. Arizona-Mississippi-Florida-Virginia
B. Arizona-Kansas-New Mexico-Wyoming. These four states allowed but did not require school segregation in the period after the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
What was the Supreme Court ruling in the Brown vs. the Board of Education case? What groups in America did this decision effect, and how?
The Supreme Court ruling in the Brown v. Board of Education case (1954) declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The Court found that "separate but equal" was inherently unequal, as segregated schools created inherently unequal learning environments by stigmatizing minority students and depriving them of educational opportunities.
This decision affected groups in America in many ways. It signaled the end of legal segregation in America and was a major victory for the Civil Rights Movement. It paved the way for the integration of schools across the United States, breaking down barriers that had long kept black students from attending the same schools as white students. It marked the beginning of a new era in American race relations and the eventual end of the Jim Crow laws that enforced segregation in many public areas.
However, this ruling was not immediately accepted or implemented, and many Southern states resisted integration efforts, often through violent means. It took many years, and additional legal battles, before racial integration in schools and other areas of public life became a reality in the United States. Nonetheless, the decision in the Brown case was a critical turning point in the battle for civil rights in America and helped to establish the legal and moral foundation for future efforts to promote racial and social justice.
