Answer 1

The two statements that accurately represent Huey Long are:

A. He was a Louisiana lawyer who represented poor workers against their employers. D. He grew up in a community who supported the Union during the Civil War and held Populist views.

Huey Long, known for his populist policies and representing the interests of the poor in Louisiana, indeed had a law background. Additionally, he had populist sentiments and did grow up in a community with Union sympathies. The other statements do not accurately reflect his political actions or background.
