LOUISIANA HISTORY EXAM PART 3!! TRUE FALSE!! PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!? 31. T F By the mid-1930s Louisiana’s illiteracy rate was three times the national average. 32. T F In the 1971 Election New Orleans attorney Sam Bell was the first serious African-American candidate for Governor since Reconstruction. 33. T F From 1948 until the 1970s, black representation in the state legislature was blocked by a process of gerrymandering- that is, drawing and maintaining the boundaries of legislative districts to ensure that a white majority exists in each district. 34. T F The Longites were dedicated to denying black citizens of Louisiana their voting rights. 35. T F Plaquemines Parish under the leadership of Leander Perez was a veritable basket-case of a mess: government corruption, high unemployment, poor roads, poor schools, very few public facilities for recreation. 36. T F New Orleans politics was dominated during the mayorship of Chep Morrison by the Big Easy Democratic Association, or B.E.D.A.. 37. T F LSUNO opened in 1958 as a fully integrated university. 38. T F The Crescent City Democratic Association, or C.C.D.A., was a political machine built by the Longite Mayor of New Orleans Robert Maestri. 39. T F Louisiana’s growing oil and natural gas industries in the post-WW II era failed to benefit from the nation’s transportation boom in airlines and automobile sales due to excessive state regulation of those industries. 40. T F The local culture of New Orleans is Creole, not Cajun. 41. T F During Robert F. Kennon’s administration, he was able to cut taxes, increase business and industry in Louisiana, reduce state debt, resurrect a Civil Service meritocracy, and fight organized crime in Louisiana. 42. T F Populism is political philosophy emphasizing the needs & concerns of the common people. 43. T F John McKeithen was the last Longite Governor of Louisiana. 44. T F John McKeithen was elected governor in 1963 as an independent Democrat. 45. T F The New Orleans Times-Picayune is the modern descendant of four different past newspapers. 46. T F While former Earl Long portage John McKeithen won the governor’s election in 1963, the Long family’s own candidate, Gillis Long, made a poor showing in the campaign that year. 47. T F Forever embittered by the unmaterialized threat of Huey Long for the Democratic nomination to the US Presidency, President Franklin Roosevelt spurned Longite overtures for political deals that would have directed considerable WPA projects and other New Deal funds to Louisiana. 48. T F Longite Governor Richard Leche was forced to resign in 1939 following a wave of scandals that were brought to light that year by a series of newspaper reports. 49. T F Governor Sam Jones delayed the promulgation of his new state employee tenure laws in 1941 so that he could purge state bureaucracy of Long employees. But Earl Long later on never used the same tactic himself to fire the appointees of Governors Jones and Jimmie Davis. 50. T F The Treen Administration was a resounding success for Louisiana; as the first Republican governor since Reconstruction substantially reduced the budget deficit, cut taxes, boosted business and industry, and plowed his gains in these areas into the highly beneficial investment of the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans.
