Answer:

The two main policies of Lyndon B. Johnson were the Great Society, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

These policies had the goal of either granting equal rights to all people, and ending many forms of discrimination (Civil Rights Act), or increasing the government provision of welfare benefits to its citizens (the Great Society).

Both policies can be seen as a direct result of progressive and populist policies that were enacted decades before.

For example, the policies of the Great Society are seen by many scholars as a direct expansion of the policies of the New Deal, of Franklin D. Roosevelt, which were progressive policies aimed at helping poor Americans affected during the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Answer:

Bacon's Rebellion was caused by:

A) favoritism and corruption among colonial elites

Explanation:

According to history, "Governor William Berkeley used new trade rules to increase his wealthy friends’ fortunes" while refusing to officially back the usurpation of the land of the friendly natives on the borders of Virginia. These moves angered "Nathaniel Bacon, who had recently arrived in Virginia and was Berkeley’s cousin by marriage." He termed the situation as "the governor’s disloyalty and unfairness."

Then, in 1676, Nathaniel Bacon led Virginia settlers to challenge the authority of Governor William Berkeley as he continued to protect the interests of the native Americans in the western frontier. The Virginia settlers had believed that the western frontier belonged to them and not to the original native Americans whom they regarded as "barbarous heathen." But, Governor William did not want to legitimize their demand with political authority. His stand further infuriated Nathaniel Bacon, who decided to lead an armed rebellion to sack the natives from their land and later against the Governor, following his proscription of the rebellious group.
