2010 AP United States History Discussion

<p>Well @ 7 weeks until the APUSH test so i think we should start a Q&A game for review. Anyone that wants to play can, but must follow the rules.</p>

<p>RULES:
1)One answers a questions than one must ask one.
2)Questions must be related to U.S History.
3)Answers must be related to the Questions.</p>

<p>First Question:</p>

<p>What events led to the U.S. entrance into World War I?</p>

<p>The sinking of the Lusitania
The Zimmerman note
Yellow journalism</p>

<p>Explain what the group of Democrats known as the “Copperheads” supported?</p>

<p>They were against the Civil War and advocated peace with the South.</p>

<p>What led to the fall of Reconstruction?</p>

<p>Compromise of 1877
Corruption in Grant’s administratioin
Failure of the south to comply (i.e. black codes, poll taxes etc.)</p>

<p>What were some advantages of the North and the South during the Civil War?</p>

<p>North: natural resources, Abe Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, naval blockade of the South
South: fighting a defensive war, more able generals (in the beginning at least)</p>

<p>What was the beginning of the 2nd Red Scare?</p>

<p>fear of USSR ,berlin blockade, chinese civil war, korean war</p>

<p>How did the U.S(FDR) try and help the allies against Hitler, whilst not physically engaging in the war(neutrality)? (pre pearl harbor)</p>

<p>Lend-Lease Act</p>

<p>What was the Good Neighbor Policy?</p>

<p>btw the 2nd Red Scare began as early as 1947 with the passing of the FELP</p>

<p>The Good Neighbor Policy was Roosevelt’s promise to end interventionism in Latin America, which was largely seen as a repudiation of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.</p>

<p>Compare and contrast the ideas of W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington.</p>

<p>w.e.b. du bois wanted blacks to change the system while booker t. washington wanted to accept the system and work around it</p>

<p>What was the “Blacklist”?</p>

<p>A Blacklist is a list of people denied a certain right or privelage… I’ve never heard it in APUSH but I’m guessing it is talking about blacks who were denied their rights?</p>

<p>What did the court case Mchulloch v. Maryland determine?</p>

<p>It was one of the many John Marshall cases that dealt with banks… the state of Maryland tried to mess with a branch of the second BUS. Because of John Marshall, of course it was determined that the federal government had the power. </p>

<p>What was muckracking, and what was its impact on the meat industry?</p>

<p>Muckracking was the term Teddy Roosevelt used to describe journalists/media that exposed problems. Upton Sinclair’s ‘The Jungle’ had a big impact on cleaning the meat industry (the book described the faults of the Chicago meat industry). It led to the Meat Inspection Act and Pure Food and Drug Act or something. </p>

<p>What were the ‘three wings’/groups of progressives?</p>

<p>Uh I’ve never heard of the three wings or groups of progressives. If you’re referring to </p>

<ol>
<li>Roosevelt progressivism</li>
<li>Taft progressivism</li>
<li>Wilson progressivism</li>
</ol>

<p>then ya I see where you’re coming from.</p>

<p>Next Question:</p>

<p>What modern business practices were introduced by the railroads of the Gilded Age?</p>

<p>Railroads introduced business practices such as collusion, price discrimination, oligopoly, monopoly, and rebates.</p>

<p>As for the blacklist question, blacklists refer to the lists of workers who had joined labor unions. Ths list would be spread around so that other workers would not hire them.</p>

<p>Describe the Compromise of 1850 and list its effects.</p>

<p>Compromise of 1850 had provisions to allow California in as a free state, there were to be no laws against slavery in lands acquired from Mexico, a harsher fugitive slave law.The affects included Northerners outrage at a harsher fugitive slave law.</p>

<p>The Social Gospel of Wealth advocated what?</p>

<p>actually the blacklist was the “Hollywood Blacklist” of the 1950s during the 2nd red scare</p>

<p>APUSH seems incredibly hard…</p>

<p>The Social Gospel preached applying Christian principles to social problems (poverty, crime, etc).</p>

<p>What ethnic groups were most awarded by industrialization?</p>

<p>Uhh the Irish and the Blacks? These questions are really difficult.</p>

<p>Describe the effects of Jacksonian democracy.</p>
