Question

Warren Harding accomplished a lot. What did he fail to do during his presidency?  A.

deal honestly with the people    B. appoint many black men to public office    C. keep corruption out of appointed public offices    D. reduce the national debt or cut taxes

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) appoint many black men to public office.

Warren Harding accomplished a lot, but he failed to appoint many black men to public office during his presidency.

Warren G. Harding (1865-1923) was the US President form 1921 to 1923. As the 29th President of the United States, he had the responsibility to conduct the nation after World War 1. He authorized Congress to revise much legislation from the Woodrow Wilson era, reduced tax on higher incomes and established protective tariffs to help the US industries.

Answer 2

The best option from the list would be that he ultimately failed to "appoint many black men to public office," since although he was relatively in favor of racial equality, the climate was such that it was hard to do much about it as president.
