<p>Does anyone know that act i was asking about: the one that gave land out to be farmed?</p>
<p>The Homestead Act? There's also the Desert Land Act, but I think you're talking about the former.</p>
<p>Are you guys just naturally good or did you study?</p>
<h2>Well, all year i kind of payed attention in class. My teacher issued a text book--far too cumbersome, and included unessential information. So, I went out and purchased an AP book; instead of reading the "issued text book" nights before unit exams, I'd just read sections of the AP book. Now, I'm just re-reading the book in its entirety, along with like 20 other subjects that i have AP's in. Like BIO, come on fellas...vist the room.</h2>
<p>Q:__<strong><em>developed the idea of Popular Sovereignity, and</em></strong>____ardently supported it, especially seen in his clash with Lincoln for the Illinois senate position.</p>
<h2>tm2000:Well, your most likely referring to the Homestead Act of 1890. Though, there was also the Dawes Act, which was particulary aimed at spurring Native American assimilation.</h2>
<p>Q:__<strong><em>developed the idea of Popular Sovereignity, and</em></strong>____ardently supported it, especially seen in his clash with Lincoln for the Illinois senate position.</p>
<p>i think that Stephen Douglas was a big supporter of popular sovereignty and henry Clay developed it in the Compromise of 1850 (this might be wrong)</p>
<p>Is the second blank Douglas?</p>
<p>What was manifest destiny and what event diminished its support?</p>
<p>Q: how did the Populists and the Progressives differ in their supporters?</p>
<p>Manifest destiny is the idea that the U.S. is bound to spread all the way to the Pacific coast. Not sure what event diminished its support though.</p>
<h2>Senator Lewis Class coined the term: Popular Sovereignity, but otherwise you were right with Stephen Douglas Sozo.</h2>
<h2>Generally, Populist and Progressive were the same; both trying to advance the needs/wants of the people. Hm, favored anyone in particular--well, I'd say the populist party was focused more towards the farmers--William Jennings Bryan with his "Cross of Gold" speech, aimed at backing the american economy with silver, rather than gold--inflating prices so farmers could get out of debt. OK! So, progressivism helped everyone in general. Due to muckrackers (ie. Upton Sinclair) Teddy Roosevelt passed the Food and Drug Act. I mean, progressivism goes as far as to FDR and his New Deal with civilian conservation corp.</h2>
<p>Q:What was Specie Circular? (simple).</p>
<p>Not sure...support for manifest destiny might have been diminished by the opposition to the annexation of Texas and to the Mexican-American War</p>
<p>The anger over the Kansas-Nebraska Act "doomed" manifest destiny.</p>
<h2>Manifest Destiny: nothing diminished it except for the fact that there was no more room, which totally deflated Frederick Jackon's "Frontier Thesis."</h2>
<p>Q:______was the leader of the green mountain boys, and captured Fort Ticonderoga during the American Revolution.</p>
<p>Specie Circular was something done by Andrew Jackson. It involved the further diversity and apportionment of currency throughout the country.</p>
<p>Ethan Allen was the leader of Green Mountain Boys? I know he did something like that. I'll always remember that name.</p>
<p>Specie Circular-issued by pres. jackson and required all land transactions to occur in gold or silver</p>
<p>Why was the know-nothing (American) party so unsuccessful? (not too hard)</p>
<h2>well yeah, Ethan Allen is some furniture store...all of those saturday afternoons wasted as a toddler. UGH! thanks mom, thanks.</h2>
<p>Q:What battle turned the tide of war against the Japanese during WWII?</p>
<p>battle of midway</p>
<p>Who wrote the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions, and what did they say?</p>
<p>The know-nothings were so unsuccessful because they were a secret political party.......now that is REALLY stupid!!</p>
