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.

The two changes that occurred in Russia as a result of the Mongol rule are:

1. It gave rise to a system of Serfdom

2. It preserves the customs and government of Russia.

This is because, following the invasion of Russia by Mongols around 1237, the people gave up their lands and began giving out tributes to the Mongols for protection. This led to the beginning of the serfdom system.

Also, since the Russians were compelled and agreed to pay tributes and taxes to the Mongols, the Mongols let the Russians maintained their customs and governments. Thereby preserving them throughout the Mongol reign in Russian territory.

Document 1: Total War
A total war is a military conflict in which nations are willing to make any sacrifices necessary to
win. In a state of total war, a nation will mobilize, or make use of its total available military,
technology, and human resources to be victorious. In a state of total war, there are no limits to
the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the goals. Total War is considered
the most extreme form of warfare because both civilians and soldiers are targets.
In addition to dedicating time and money to build new war technologies, European women at
home were mobilized to work outside of the home to replace men who went off to war,
Additionally, those at home were asked to make the sacrifice of rationing. Rationing was a
policy of strictly distributing food to ensure that soldiers had enough food. Sugar, meat, flour,
butter, margarine and milk were tightly controlled and families were urged to consume less.
During the war, propaganda posters were used to influence people's decisions and to increase
support towards the war effort.

The Supreme Court began to recognize the legal rights of young offenders.


Courts began to hold parents responsible for the crimes committed by their children.

Ss attached with the answer.

Answers

Answer: States began enacting harsher punishments for young offenders.

Explanation:

In the late 1980s and the early 1990s juvenile crime rates saw a significant increase which prompted states to react by imposing stricter punishments for young offenders.

They were able to do this due to a Supreme Court ruling that allowed for juveniles to be provided much of the same due process as adults so in order to deter other young people from crime, states used this ruling to impose those higher punishments.
