<p>what did the lend-lease act of 1940 do?</p>
<p>I think it's significant because I've come across a few practice exam questions that deal with the importance of certain elections. You can choose not to pay mind to these things but it can only hurt you on exam day.</p>
<p>lend-lease act allowed the US to lend weapons to the Allies, particularly Britain, before the US entered the war.</p>
<p>What were the findings of the Nye Committee?</p>
<p>We would lend/lease our war goods to the Allies to help them w/ the war before we joined; this followed Destroyers for Bases and Cash and Carry. Kind of helping without actually being in.</p>

<p>contrast how web dubois and booker t washington felt about how to handle black rights.</p>
<p>Really? I don't want to spend much time on that if it isn't thoroughly covered on the test.</p>
<p>Tux, I think the number of questions from each time period goes in this order: Period from 1789-1914 (most questions) -> 1914-present -> before 1789 (least questions)</p>
<p>Booker T stressed that blacks should first seek economic equality before political equality, while Du Bois advocated full equality</p>
<p>What was the Dawes Severalty Act?</p>
<p>Dubois wanted black equality immediately on all levels...Washington felt that black people should help themselves and work from the bottom up for their equality (I think...sort of...?)</p>
<p>Describe the United States' reasoning for going to war with Spain in the Spanish American War at the end of the 19th century.</p>

<p>Dawes Severalty Act granted land to Native Americans who left the tribal reservations</p>
<p>What was the significance of fishing rights off of Canada/Newfoundland?</p>
<p>Also, Dawes was bassically assimilation, like Eisenhower would do in the 50's</p>
<p>ilovethemets, does that have something to do with the war of 1812?</p>
