<p>Elizabeth Cady Stanton: equal voting, legal, and property rights. She was unique in that she pushed for divorce laws.</p>
<p>Sarah/Angelina Grimke: sisters who campaigned for both women’s rights and abolition. Sarah Grimke wrote “Letter on the Confidition of Women and the Equality of the Sexes” in 1837.</p>
<p>Susan B. Anthony: partnered with Stanton to campaign for women’s rights. </p>

Describe the Marshall Plan and its effects.</p>
<p>The Marshall Plan was devised to repair European countries like France who were left in ruins after World War II. It helped to strengthen Western Europe as to improve the democratic countries and at the same time repel any kind of communism threat from Soviet Russia in the east. </p>
<p>Identify the factors that led towards the Civil War (conflicts between the North and South).</p>
<p>The Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, the Dred Scott decision, John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry, Lincoln’s election. There are also a few long-term causes–Manifest Destiny things, Wilmot Proviso, sectionalism in general.</p>
<p>How did farmers attempt to better their conditions in the late 19th century?</p>
<p>The Farmer’s Alliance formed the Populist Party (originally Greenback Labor Party). Its members advocated for a graduated income tax, government ownership of railroads telephone and telegraph, direct election of US senators, one term limit on the presidency, shorter work day, creation of new federal subtreasury, unlimited coinage of silver and immigration restrictions. They held strikes nationwide and nominated General James B Weaver as their presidential candidate in 1892.
Also In 1867 the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry (Grange) led by Oliver Kelly sought to enhance the lives of isolated farmers (Grange later focused on farmers a whole) through social and educational activities. </p>
<p>How did William Jennings Bryan affect the future of the populist party?</p>
<p>William Jennings Bryan constantly lost many of his presidential campaigns which showed how the farmer support was weak and the agrarian votes were declining, which marked the end of the populist’s strength. If anyone can add more please do so.</p>
<p>Compare and contrast 1950s and the 1960s socially, economically, and politically.</p>
<p>1950’s: AKA Content Society</p>
<p>Political: Eisenhower was elected (1952)
Economic: many people had lots of money–> consumerism (buying on credit w/ credit cards, production of consumer goods like cars and TV, advertising promoted by TV)
Social: children/teen culture arose, emphasis on civil rights (Brown v. Board of Education, Montgomery Bus Boycott, Martin Luther King Jr., Little Rock Central High Integration) </p>
<p>1960’s: </p>
<p>Political: JFK elected (1st televised presidential debate) but couldn’t get any programs passed because didn’t know how to work with Congress, JFK assassination, LBJ took over and won 1964 election
Economic: LBJ implemented War on Poverty Program (Office of Economic Opportunity, Head Start, Job Corp.), The Great Society (Medicare, Medicaid, HUD, ESSA)
Social: War on Poverty Program</p>
<p>While both the 1950’s and 1960’s focused on improving society as noted by the Civil Rights Movement and LBJ’s Programs, the 50’s was really a time of contentment while the 60’s was considered a time of war and fear (Cuban Missile Crisis, Cuban Blockade, Vietnam War, Fidel Castro).</p>
<p>Describe the presidencies of: Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover during the 1920’s.</p>
<p>Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover were all Republican presidents in Twenties.</p>
<p>Harding did very little in office. He approved a reduction in income tax, the Frodeny-McCumber Tariff Act of 1922, and the establishment of the Bureau of the Budget. He appointed many able men to his cabinet–such as Andrew Mellon as the Secretary of the Treasury–as well as incompetent and corrupt officials such as Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall, who was caught accepting bribes for granting oil leases near Teapot Dome, Wyoming.</p>
<p>Coolidge replaced Harding after his death in 1923, and was elected in 1924. He also accomplished little–he believed in limited government was known for being silent about politics (which is why he earned the nickname “Silent Cal”)–other than a tight national budget.</p>
<p>Hoover promised to extend the “Coolidge Prosperity” and predicted that poverty would soon end altogether; however, the Great Depression hit with the Crash of 1929. He did little to stop the Great Depression because of his belief in limited government and laissez-faire economics, which only worsened the nation’s predicament and allowed for the end of the Republican brotherhood with the election of FDR in 1932.</p>
<p>Describe the Open Door Policy. What was the logic behind it?</p>
<p>As a specific policy with regard to China, it was first advanced by the United States in the Open Door Notes of September-November 1899. In 1898, the United States had become an East Asian power through the acquisition of the Philippine Islands, and when the partition of China by the European powers and Japan seemed imminent, the United States felt its commercial interests in China threatened. U.S. Secretary of State John Hay sent notes to the major powers (France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, and Russia), asking them to declare formally that they would uphold Chinese territorial and administrative integrity and would not interfere with the free use of the treaty ports within their spheres of influence in China. The open door policy stated that all European nations, and the United States, could trade with China.</p>
<p>Describe Theodore Roosevelt’s foreign policy and explain how it was a 180 in terms of American foreign policy.</p>
<p>Prior to Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency, the US had participated minimally in global politics. Theodore Roosevelt’s “big stick” policy, however, attempted to make the United States a world power through decisive and aggressive action. In order to build the Panama Canal, Roosevelt supported a revolt in Panama in 1903, and he signed a treaty with the new government when it was in place guaranteeing US control of the canal zone. The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine stated that the US would intervene whenever necessary if Europeans intervened in Latin America. He also arranged a diplomatic conference between Russia and Japan to settle the Russo-Japanese War.</p>
<p>What caused the War of 1812? What failed strategies were used by the US to avoid war with Britain?</p>
<p>There were 3 main causes that led to the War of 1812: British violation of America’s neutrality (impressment of American sailors), U.S desire to gain Canada which resulted in an Indian war (Battle of Tippecanoe), and the eagerness of the War Hawks to go to war with Britain. The Embargo Act implemented by Jefferson prohibited trade with foreign nations after the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair but ended up hurting the US economy,so it was repealed. It was later replaced by Madison’s Non-Intercourse Act, which was similar to the Embargo Act, but it allowed trade with all nations except for France and Britain. In 1810, Madison overturned the Non-Intercourse Act by putting Macon’s Bill No. 2 into effect to restore trade w/ France and Britain if they agreed to respect US neutrality. Although if either nation formally agreed to respect US neutrality, then US would not trade with that nation’s foe. Napoleon immediately agreed and US blocked trade with Britain, however, he never fulfilled his part of the deal causing tension to rise b/w all 3 nations.</p>
<p>List why each of the Thirteen Colonies was important.</p>
<p>Wow, I got a 5 on this test last year and I hardly remember any of this :(</p>
<p>Sorry for messing up the flow of the q&a</p>
<p>[ul]
[<em>]Connecticut
I didn’t add anything for New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New Hampshire. I didn’t find anything from my notes that was particularly noteworthy about these colonies. Feel free to add, correct anything. This isn’t an exhaustive list.</p>
<p>Next question: Describe some of the territorial expansion that occurred from the 1830s through the 1860s</p>
<p>Well, the westward expansion began around the 1800s with the idea of manifest destiny as frontiersmen began to shape and mold the land into settlements. Missouri joined as a slave state and Maine a free state in the Missouri Compromise of 1820. I remember Texas gaining its freedom in the 1830s from Mexican government, but because of the slavery issue it wasn’t admitted as a state until James Polk annexed it. Britain and the U.S. both controlled Oregon. Well then we fought against the Mexican government again for the control of California and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo gave to America all the territory from Texas to California called the “Mexican Cession.” Sorry that’s all I can remember, but of course there are more states that entered the union such as Ohio, and Kentucky, but yeah…they weren’t really important.</p>
<p>Anyways, describe how the industrial revolution of the 1820s-1850s brought about the market revolution</p>
<p>What do you mean by the market revolution? The industrial revolution wasn’t really the 1820s-1850s.</p>
<p>Cotton became the main crop of the South because of the cotton gin, textile industries (Lowell system) arose in the North, railroads/roads/canals rose up and improved transportation and trade. Not sure if thats what you were asking.</p>
<p>How did President Hoover respond to the Bonus Expeditionary Force?</p>
<p>Hoover ordered the army to force the veterans to evacuate after they refused to leave.</p>
<p>How did MacArthur and Truman differ in their views on handling the Korean War?</p>
<p>MacArthur wanted to keep pushing the Korean troops north into China, but Truman wanted him to stop before the border of North Korea and China. MacArthur then wanted to bomb the hell out of the border so no Chinese troops could cross into Korea, but Truman denied him that.</p>
<p>Explain the five significant American compromises: the Connecticut Compromise, the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Compromise of 1820, the Compromise of 1850, and the Compromise of 1876.</p>
<p>Conn. - Compromise between New Jersey and Virginia Plan. Bicameral legislature with a House of Rep. and Senate.</p>
<p>Three-Fifths- Slaves count as 3/5 of a person. This resulted from disputes about slave rights. </p>
<p>1820 (Missouri Compromise) - Missouri admitted as a slave state, Maine a free state to keep the sectional balance in the senate. </p>
<p>1850- California admitted as a free state, no more slave trade in the capitol, texas sized down, strong fugitive slave law. The fugitive slave law was the most controversial, as it made all citizens of the United States involved in the practice of slavery. </p>
<p>1877- Resulted from the presidential election of 1876, in which Hayes and Tilden ran. Tilden had the majority, but he was a southern democratic. The senate did not want him in the presidency, so a compromise resulted in which Hayes became president and all troops were withdrawn from the south. The comp. of 1877 marked the end of reconstruction, and the south went back to its old ways.</p>
