<p>federalist papers = arguments against factions in society. i just read madison’s no. 10 last night.</p>

<p>Yeah I just looked it up… the women/social work is correct. Got it wrong :(</p>

<p>Great progress guys, over half-way done</p>

<p>What was the question you guys are talking about? (where the answer is clerical workers)</p>

<p>^It had something to do with women in the 19th century, that’s all I remember</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the question with the small passage that said “2/5 of the island is negroes” and “another black republic”. I think I put something about Intervention in Cuba</p>

<p>the clerical workers question asked about why women were more widely employed in late 19th early 20thcentury</p>

<p>the cuba one was like “using race fears to prevent intervention in cuba”</p>

<p>i confirm: it was race fears.</p>

<p>wiki says : “The settlement movement was a reformist social movement, peaking around the 1920s in England and the US, with a goal of getting the rich and poor in society to live more closely together in an interdependent community. Its main object was the establishment of “settlement houses” in poor urban areas, in which volunteer middle-class “settlement workers” would live, hoping to share knowledge and culture with, and alleviate the poverty of, their low-income neighbors. In the US, by 1913 there were 413 settlements in 32 states.”</p>

<p>what was the answer for the question about the tet offensive? was it that the american public believed the government was mishandling the war</p>

<p>^I can confirm that
There was a question about Manifest Destiny, I remember putting the annexation of Texas.
There was also another question about Uncle Tom’s Cabin. I think I put that it increased abolitionist movement in the North</p>

<p>Can you guys confirm?</p>

<p>@ harambee and superwizard
i got all those</p>

<p>no the mercantilism one is definitely about tariffs. they didn’t want the colonies to put tariffs on their goods…that would make the colonists NOT want to get english goods. plus the tariffs question i remember said something about wanting to raise revenues from those tariffs. and as for tariffs to prevent international trade - they didn’t really place tariffs to do that, they just banned it outright with like the navigation acts. </p>

<p>but they did want some colonial manufacturing so they could get goods that they couldn’t make in england.</p>

<p>does anyone what the two mercantilism questions were asking?</p>

<p>^I think it was like Mercantilism involved everything EXCEPT</p>

<p>so mercantilism involved everything EXCEPT wanting to raise revenues from tariffs.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the question about 1828 - 1836? I said something about Tariffs, I think it might be wrong</p>

<p>I said tariffs too</p>

<p>harambee, 1828-1836 was tariff of abominations, so yeah right again</p>
