<p>In order:
Bacon’s Rebellion - farmers vs. aristocrats -> nothing really changed just showed Western farmers vs. aristocrats
Stono Rebellion - first African American rebellion in U.S. -> resulted in harsher treatment
Shay’s Rebellion - farmers wanted money to pay back their debts -> colonies realized they need a stronger central gov’t… Articles of Confederation to Constitution
Whiskey’s Rebellion - revolting b.c of an excise tax that Washington/Hamilton recently introduced</p>
<p>^Also note that the slaves in the Stono Rebellion were trying to go to Florida and that the Whiskey Rebellion demonstrated the strength of the new constitution. Other rebellions include Nat Turner’s rebellion and Denmark Vesey’s rebellion.</p>
<p>So Teller and Platt contradict one another?</p>
<p>Pretty Much.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. I like this better then AMSCO :D</p>
<p>Lol I hate the Dawes Plan it makes no sense.</p>
<p>Foreign Policies:
Roosevelt:
-Imperialistic b/c we needed raw materials
-Roosevelt renewed the Monroe doctrine cause we’re greedy
-we fought in the Spanish American War and acquired Cuba and Philippines
-annexed Hawaii, decided to keep Philippines for awhile (angering Emiliano Zapata)
-did the Platt Amendment so we could go into Cuba whenever
-Open Door Policy in China and fought Boxer Rebellion
-jacked Panama for canal
-so-called peace efforts yet Roosevelt remained military presence in countless foreign territories</p>
<p>Taft:
-Dollar diplomacy (not sure exactly what this is, but it promoted US trade)
-Intervenes in China, wants to build railroad with Euro countries
-“protects US business interests” in Nicaragua, which somehow involves sending in marines.
-Lodge Corollary to Monroe Doctrine, non-Euro’s cant own territory in Western Hemi</p>
<p>Wilson:
-Let go of Philippines w/ Jones Act
-Granted Puerto Rico US citiz
-Sent a bunch of troops into Nicaragua, Haiti, and Dominican Republic b/c it was necessary to “maintain stability in the region and protect the Panama Canal”
-In Mexico, a bunch of stuff, someone else explain</p>
<p>Me too! I’m glad I stumbled upon this thread. :)</p>

<p>Bacon’s Rebellion - In Virginia, William Berkeley, the governor, favored wealthy planters.Poor western planters were angry when Berkely didn’t protect them from the Native Americans. In response, Nathaniel Bacon led a group of planters to fight against the Native Americans. Berkely didn’t approve of this. Bacon then wanted revenge against Berkeley so he led a militia to burn down the Jamestown settlement. The rebellion fell apart after Bacon died shortly.
-highlighted class differences between the wealthy and the poor planters</p>
<p>Whiskey Rebellion - Farmers basically rebelled against a federal tax on alcohol</p>
<p>Shay’s Rebellion- Rebellion against high state taxes, imprisonment of those in debt, and lack of paper money. Basically it highlighted the weaknesses of the central government that the Articles of Confederation created.</p>
<p>EDIT:
Haha, seems like I was bit late on this one. I might have to step up my game a bit… ;)</p>
<p>
Continual lending to Germany ensures the temporary stability of the European economy allowing the U.S. to expand it’s interests.</p>
<p>How did life in the colonies change from 1700 to 1775?</p>
<p>^ meh. EDIT: at Jersey13</p>
<p>Also, why the f in Bacon’s Rebellion were they fighting Indians.!?!</p>
<p>well after the french and indian war the british stopped their policy of salutary neglect and tried to take more control of the colonies. they taxed and stopped westward expansion to protect colonists and get money for war debt and the colonists got mad.</p>
<p>Can someone explain the “New Frontier” idea to me?</p>
<p>Freed indentured servants/other farmers expanded westward in search of land to farm thus encroaching Indian settlements and the Native Americans responded with violence.</p>
<p>
New Frontier is JFK’s Social Reform Program</p>
<p>What events led up to the War of 1812 and what was the result?</p>
<p>In what wars did the war hawks play a role in?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think that one of the main key points is that the British started to enforce their Navigation Acts and started to deprive the rights of colonial governments.</p>
<p>Before the French and Indian War (FI War), Britain was pretty lax about the Navigation Acts. After the FI War, the British started to enforce these Navigation Acts. Also, they enacted new taxes such as the Stamp Act since they believed that the US. should basically “pay” British war debts. </p>
<p>After that happened, the colonists increasingly turned against the British. I guess we can say that they first favored their ties with Britain. Down the road, they saw that they needed independence to maintain their way of life.</p>
<p>Embargo Act of 1807 and subsequently, the Nonintercourse Act.</p>
<p>Also, British impressment of soldiers.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! I took it last year. So much fun. ;)</p>
<p>What events led up to the War of 1812 and what was the result?</p>
<p>The peaceable coercion, non-intercourse act, and Macon’s bill number 2 (Everyone->not britian or france->first to pledge)
Also the blame for the indian uprisings around the time period.</p>
<p>what are some good specific facts that are widely applicable so that i can plan out what to use in my essay beforehand</p>
