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 pie chart, which ethnic group has a majority in the Balkans Serbs. Based on the population distribution shown on this map, the country with the greatest potential for ethnic conflict is Bosnia-Herzegovina.
What is Bosnia-Herzegovina?By 2022, Bosnia and Herzegovina's internal political divisions founded on the 1995 Dayton Agreement will still exist, although the nation will still be one state.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is known by two names since it is made up of the territories of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina was the name given to the two regions because they could not be divided because there was no obvious border to do so.
According to the terms of the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords, which put an end to the 1992–1995 Bosnian War and the breakup of Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina is an independent state that is partially under international supervision.
Thus, Serbs and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

What was the three-fifths clause? What did it show about
the attitudes of the delegates toward African Americans?
Answer:
When Northern and Southern delegates met in the Constitutional Convention, the huge question of slavery had to be addressed. The South wanted to count their enslaved population as part of them during censuses but the North objected to this saying that if the Blacks were not allowed to vote, they should not be counted.
A compromise was reached which was called the Three-fifths clause. This clause stated that every enslaved person would be counted as three-fifths of a person which meant that for every 5 enslaved people, 3 would be counted as humans. This therefore increased the population and by extension, the political power of the South.
The attitude shown here by delegates towards African-Americans was one of superiority. They did not think of African-Americans as people but rather as sub-humans that did not amount to a single human.

American business owners believed taking sides in World War I would?
lead to more money and trading opportunities.
lead to less money and trading opportunities.
mean a loss of workers who would be drafted.
mean more workers who supported the war effort.
Answer:
Lead to less money and trading opportunities.
Explanation:
Despite the world power engaging a war against each other, the United States had fairly managed to stay out of it. This means that the US remained a neutral nation, supporting neither of the sides in the war.
America was sure that if it remained a neutral nation amidst the ongoing war, it will be able to continue with trade deals with other nations. To them, taking sides will be detrimental to the nation's trade economy. If it has to take a side, then that will probably lead to a loss in their financial profit and reduce any trading opportunity.
But with the attack of an American passenger cruise by German submarines, the United States decided to enter the war against Germany. So, despite the war starting in 1914, the United States only joined the war in 1917, three years after the start of the war one year before it ended.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
Answer:
B. lead to less money and trading opportunities.
Explanation:

Laws that limited the overall lives of African American's.

Defacto segregation
Jim Crow Laws
Literacy Test

Answer:
Jim Crow Laws.
Explanation:
The Jim Crow Laws was a system named for racial segregation in the United States. The racial caste system was the system that legalized racial segregation in public spaces. The laws took away the rights of African Americans to vote, education, job opportunities, etc.
Therefore, it was Jim Crow Laws that limited the overall lives of African Americans in the United States. Thus option C is correct.

Q2: Describe the impacts of the rule of Muhammad bin Qasim on Sindh.
Q3: Explain what is meant by “Dhimmi”, the status given to the people of Sindh by Muhammad Bin Qasim
Answer:
1. Muhammad bin qasim was an Arab military commander of the Umayyad Caliphate who led the Muslim conquest of Sindh and Multan. Al-Hajjaj sent Muhammad Bin Qasim to attack Sindh as new arab allied with Al Hajj's opponent.
2. After the conquest, he adopted a conciliatory policy, asking for acceptance of Muslim rule by the natives in return for non-interference in their religious and cultural practices. He also established peace with a strong taxation system.
3. After the conquest of Sindh, Qasim adopted the Hanafi school of Sharia law which regarded Hindus, Buddhists and Jains as "dhimmis" and "People of the Book", allowing them religious freedom as long as they continued to pay the tax known as "jizya".
The word dhimmi literally means "protected person", referring to the state's obligation under sharia to protect the individual's life, property, as well as freedom of religion, in exchange for loyalty to the state and payment of the jizya tax, which complemented the zakat, or obligatory alms, paid by the Muslim subjects.

Describe how total war impacted the home front of the major combatants?
The Home Front during World War One refers to life in Britain during the war itself. The Home Front saw a massive change in the role of women, rationing, the bombing of parts of Britain by the Germans (the first time civilians were targeted in war), conscientious objectors and strikes by discontented workers.
Total war includes all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets, mobilizes all societal resources to fight the war, and gives priority to warfare over non-combatant needs. The American-English Dictionary defines total war as “war that is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the objectives pursued, especially one in which the laws of war are disregarded."
In the mid-19th century, scholars identified “total war” as a separate class of warfare. In a total war, to an extent inapplicable to other conflicts, the differentiation between combatants and non-combatants diminishes and even sometimes vanishes entirely as opposing sides consider nearly every human resource, even that of non-combatants, as part of the war effort.
