I looked at the websites you gave me .... still confused?????????

Answer 4

My! You're a fast reader. You read the websites in less than 4 minutes????

Of course you're still confused. Your answers are still wrong.

Please do not post these questions and answers again. We've checked them twice. Now, you're on your own.

Answer 5

YOLO, if you think you can understand anything without reading about it, or talking with people who were there and did that, or think it isn't worth your time, you truly are on your own. Be ignorant.

Answer 6

I am sorry to Disappoint you "MOM and DAD" ....Yes I am getting upset.. I am sorry I had a STARR Test For 5 HOURS and come home and Help my mother with her daycare ...Start doing my work about 7:45.... Can A Person Mess Up...Like Come On...

FYI: I Have visited Those 3 sites (plus more) like 5 times BEFORE I asked you guys for help.

P.S: Sorry if you are mad or upset... but I won,t regret what I said..Not One Bit!!! I am tired of hearing grown adults complaining to a 7th Grader Who Needs help. Since I have been on Jiskha I haven't heard none of you ask if I wanted a tutor or encourage me in any way... I am not the only one you should be mad at!!!

Answer 7

Well, I'm very sorry your life is difficult. I can understand. And no one is mad at you here. But if you read the sites Ms. Sue recommended, you should know the answers to these questions. You would know the Korean war was in the 1950s, not the 1960s. You would know the Vietnam war was in the 1960s and 1970s. And you would know that U. S. troops were sent to Vietnam several years before 1968. And a reading of the history of that era would tell you that President Johnson declined to seek another term after he lost the New Hampshire primary in March, 1968. And you would know where riots took place in 1968. You were correct on #4, but I suspect that was a guess. Now, I've given you the answers, which I should not do, but you must actually do the reading if you are to understand the subject you are studying, and understand what happened before you were born and how it affects our world today.

Answer 8

The answers are:
1.C
2.C
3.D

Answer 9

Just tell us the answers why are you trying to make us understand the questions? I have a question for you. When do I need to know about the war ? how is knowing about some stupid war going to make me successful in life? What has school come to? Im going to go to collage not knowing how a credit card works or what mortgage rates is no!!! Im gunna walk in there knowing how many people fought in the Vietnam war. Thanks school you teach me useless things. seriously will I get paid for knowing how many people fought in the Vietnam war or knowing who was the 31st president. No!! I don't think so. So stop getting mad if were not interested in learning in something that we cant make a living in. I don't know about you but I don't want to at McDonalds
