1. The correct answer is b. Farmers produced more than they could sell.
In the 1950s, farm prices fell primarily because farmers were producing more goods than there was demand for. This oversupply caused an imbalance in the market, leading to lower prices for agricultural products. To understand why this happened, it is important to consider the economic conditions of the time. After World War II, agricultural production in the United States greatly increased due to the adoption of new technologies and farming practices. Farmers were able to produce larger quantities of crops and livestock, but the demand for these products did not keep pace with the increased supply. As a result, prices fell, putting financial strain on farmers.
2. The correct answer is d. A shortage of schools.
The baby boom following World War II created a shortage of schools. The significant increase in births during this period led to a surge in the number of school-age children. As a result, existing school facilities were overwhelmed and unable to accommodate the growing student population. This created a need for additional schools to be built to accommodate the increased demand for education.
3. The correct answer is b. Implementing a sales tax.
South Carolina raised additional funding for public education by implementing a sales tax. A sales tax is a tax imposed on the sale of goods and services. By implementing this form of taxation, South Carolina was able to generate revenue that could be directed towards public education. This approach spread the financial burden across a broad range of consumers, as every purchase made within the state would be subject to the sales tax.
4. The correct answer is a. Civilian Conservation Corps.
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) provided men between the ages of 17-25 with job opportunities improving national parks and building dams. The CCC was a work relief program established during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency as part of his New Deal initiatives to combat unemployment during the Great Depression. The program aimed to provide employment to young men who were unemployed, while also carrying out conservation projects across the country. These projects included reforestation, soil conservation, construction of trails and bridges, and development of recreational areas.
5. The correct answer is a. Appeasement.
To avoid war, Great Britain and France followed the policy of appeasement when responding to Hitler's actions. Appeasement refers to the policy of making concessions and compromises in order to appease an aggressor and avoid conflict. In the context of Hitler's actions in the 1930s, both Great Britain and France pursued a policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany. They believed that by giving in to Hitler's demands for territorial expansion, they could maintain peace. However, this policy ultimately failed, as Hitler continued his aggression, leading to the outbreak of World War II.
6. The correct answer is d. Units such as the Tuskegee Airmen gave blacks a greater opportunity to serve their country.
Changes in society caused by World War II had various effects on African Americans. While discrimination persisted in many areas, the war did provide some opportunities for black Americans. Units such as the Tuskegee Airmen, an all-black aviation unit, gave African Americans a greater opportunity to serve their country and prove their capabilities. This opened doors for future advancements in civil rights and paved the way for integration in the military.
7. The correct answer is a. Military bases were reopened or built in the state.
The Cold War affected South Carolina by the reopening or construction of military bases in the state. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a prolonged period of political tension and military buildup. South Carolina, like many other states, became an important location for military activities due to its strategic positioning. Military bases were established or expanded in the state to serve as training grounds and operational centers for the military, providing economic opportunities and contributing to the state's overall defense posture.
