After initiаlly fоllоwing а fоreign policy similаr to that of his predecessors, Reagan reversed course and became one of the most hardline American “Cold Warriors.” By 1983, Reagan had reignited the arms race and began building more nuclear weapons, placing Pershing II nuclear missiles in Western Europe, and touting the new [BLANK-1] (a technology that could supposedly shoot Soviet missiles out of the sky but which never worked).

While the president had favored emancipation during the Civil War, he did not support increased rights for newly freed African Americans. He vetoed the extension of the Freedmen’s Bureau, the Civil Rights Act, and the Reconstruction Act of 1867 (which congress passed over his veto). He supported state-issued Black Codes and granted new state governments a free hand in managing local affairs.

President Grover Cleveland dispatched thousands of federal troops to break the strike and he arrested Debs. The incident showed the growing conflict between capital (supported by the government) and labor in the 1890s.

Imаgine а scenаriо where we all have a shared pооl of resources from which we all have unrestricted access. If left unregulated, we would all individually try to maximize what we take from said pool. Unfortunately, this would lead to said resources being quickly depleted, resulting in nobody being able to meaningful use them. What term best describes the concept noted above?
