22. Why it is effective to address the other side in your argument?

23. Addressing the other side
To create a COUNTERARGUMENT, you first make a CONCESSION to the opposition
State something that might be true or that people might see as being true.
Then, create a REBUTTAL. Tear apart the logic or the credibility behind the concession.
I asked you to do this with your Blackfish essay.

24. Background
Research Governor Orval Faubus on your device. 1. When was he in office? 2. What did he do in the military during WWII? 3. When he ran for office, what was his political party and what position did he take on racial issues? 4. What trade-offs did he have to make with racial policies so that he could make social reforms and stimulate economic growth?
Orval Eugene Faubus (January 7, 1910 – December 14, 1994) was the 36th Governor of Arkansas, serving from 1955 to 1967
When the United States entered World War II, Faubus joined the United States Army and served as an intelligence officer with the Third Army of General George Patton. He rose to the rank of major and was in combat several times.
3. He was elected governor as a liberal Democrat. Initially considered a 'moderate' on racial issues.

25. Hidden Agenda A secret or ulterior motive for something.
Politicians often have the hidden agenda of appealing to groups who will support them in elections. They won’t say they do this, but they do.
Faubus will run for election every two years. 1954, 1956, 1958, 1960, 1962, 1964.

26. Little Rock, Arkansas 1957
In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that segregated schools were unconstitutional.
Little Rock, Arkansas submitted desegregation plans to a federal district court which approved the plans.
Segregationists resisted the plans.
By 1957, Faubus needed to consider how he would be re-elected.
Watch this video for the situation.
