Missions tended to be located near running rivers or larger streams. They also tended to choose areas with larger flat areas that would be good for farming. Farming was important as this would be one the main ways that the missionaries fed themselves and what they taught willing Native American converts. Missions appear during the time when we had to adapt and adjust to the environment around them. They didn't have the ability to adjust the environment to their needs.
The illegal voting would have been stopped or a least greatly reduced with the implementation of proper voter registration and state IDs. Of course, with the rudimentary technology of the era, falsification of ID documents would have been relatively easier than it is today. However IDs and voter registration would have presented an additional obstacle to border ruffians.
The violence would only have been stopped by the concourse of a national guard, a state police and civil deputies from the state protecting voter, voting locations and the transportation of ballots.
Governor J. Howard Edmondson attempted to reform the (B) county commissioner system of postwar Oklahoma.
J. Howard Edmondson was the governor of Oklahoma from 1959 to 1963 and he was also a United States Senator. Moreover, Edmondson was part of the Democratic Party. While he governed Oklahoma, he proposed several changes. One of them was the reform of the county commissioner system: <u>he intended to form a constitutional highway commission and to reduce the control that county commissioners had over gasoline tax revenues</u>. In other words, he sought to reduce the power of county commissioners and to give more responsibilities to the State Highway Commission when it came to controlling funds.
I have attached a document I found that details the questioning of Joshua Drake. I based my answer from this document.
Joshua Drake allows his children to work in the textile factories because of NECESSITY.
Joshua Drake only works for 2 days. He has other means of income but these are not permanent nor are they enough to subsidize the needs of the family.
Everyone in the family needs to work in order for them to satisfy their most basic needs. That is why his children also work because what they earn goes to the family coffers.
For Joshua Drake, it is preferable to work limited hours and earn lower wages compared to working longer hours but is not regularly employed.
