<p>^ Important thing to note about slavery</p>
<p>Republican Party + Lincoln in 1860 were OK with slavery where it was, just didn’t want it to spread. Their platform DID NOT advocate national abolition.</p>
<p>Also, the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in areas of the country still in rebellion, meaning it didn’t do much (but it did demoralize the South). After the war, blacks’ condition was basically the same due to the rise of sharecropping.</p>
<p>Yes, indeed - the Republicans were not abolitionists, they only wanted to stop its expansion.</p>
<p>Also, my question. What were Lincoln’s and Andrew Johnson’s reconstruction ideas, and were they / were they not successful?</p>
<p>Ok so Lincoln :</p>
<p>Lincoln had in mind his amazing 10% plan. Basically this plan stated that 10% of the people who voted in his election (1860) from each one of the states had to take an oath of alliance to the us and the emancipation proclamation. Then the states had to elect a government and write a constitution that banned slavery. Lincoln did not believe on taking private property from the members of teh confederacy and pocket vetoed strict plans such as a wade and davis bill… during his presidency the freedmen’s bureau was created…and then he died =( before he could allow any states to return</p>
<p>Johnson on the other hand thought the war was the “elite’s responsability” and th9ought only these people had to pay for their crimes. He took away the positions of all the military leaders and confiscated the porperty of those who owned more than $20,000. He wanted to give the poor farmers all the power… However he did not seem to care about the newly freed men because when the states passed the black codes he didnt do anything to stop them</p>
<p>oops i forgot my question!</p>
<p>mmmmm… ok this works: Describe the role of women in the period between the revolutionary war and the civil war and explain how their role contributed to the republican motherhood and the cult of domesticity lmao =)</p>
<p>Can someone explain the significance of the French and Indian War and the War of 1812? </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

stalin forced communist dictatorships on eastern european nations, these were satellite nations
churchill coined the term iron curtain</p>
<p>division of berlin-germany divided into occupation zones, berlin was itself divided</p>
<p>policy of containment-communist rebels captured northern greece, leading to greek civil war, similar rebellions in turkey and iran, in resopnse truman announced the truman doctrine to support any free nation trying to resist communism

north korea received weapons from ussr and china, north korea failed to conquer the south, therefore the us considered this failure a successful application of containment policy, status quo reestablished
1954 eisenhower created SEATO for asian nations</p>
<p>peaceful coexistence
stalin died in 1953(end of korean war)

<p>castro’s anti american stance grew stronger, missiles built in cuba, ussr agreed to tear down missile bases, in turn, kennedy agreed to not invade cuba and to remove missiles from turkey</p>
<p>Wait didn’t Stalin promise free elections in E. Europe at Yalta?</p>
<p>Hey, sorry this isn’t answering your above question. But I have a general question about the exam. Am I screwed if I don’t know specific dates for things? Like, I generally have an idea of the timeframe periods but not of specific years except for a couple that just stick in my head. Will that be an issue for the free response?</p>

<p>Jacksonian Democracy was Jacksons beliefs. He believed in states rights to a point, but believed that all the states together had more power than any single state alone (if that made any sence at all). Jackson had great respect for the common man and Jacksonian Democracy was the beginning of the modern democratic party as the Whigs were the beginning of the modern Republican party.</p>
<p>Anyways here is my question:
What presidents might we be asked to compare on the test and what are some main similarities and differences between them?</p>
<p>lol no problem
i will keep outlining everything in this thread up to the 1990s tonight
i quit after the 1990s haha
(i’m ditching school tomorrow to cram for this thingy)</p>
<p>I love that username. Ad hominem. Hehehe.</p>
<p>Describe the role of women in the period between the revolutionary war and the civil war and explain how their role contributed to the republican motherhood and the cult of domesticity:
During the revoluntary war, most women either stayed at home to maintain the household/economy/businesses or dressed up as men to fight in the war (minority). During this time period, the ideas of republican motherhood and the cult of domesticity were further emphasized and preached by women. They stressed teaching children to sacrifice anything for liberty, patriotic ideals, purity and morality.</p>
<p>In many ways Republican Motherhood and the Cult of Domesticity simultaneously restricted and granted freedoms to women… Women were given more opportunities for education, as they were seen as vital to educating the children and sustaining a household. In many ways it raised their status as the voices of morality. However, it also restricted a women’s role as it expected submission to men-- deeming women inferior. Oh and women were not allowed to apply for most jobs unless they were related to education, religion or morality… etc</p>
<p>Pretty much during the revolutionary war, men, while away from home, learnt the importance of women in their daily lives…</p>
<p>(OK woops this is a reply to a question on page 3)</p>
<p>and pigs<em>at</em>sea we are rarely tested on anything after the 1960s, according to my teacher!</p>

south vietnam’s governemnts were controlled by the united states, diem was an american puppet

<p>gulf of tonkin resolution
american destroyers were attacking targets in north vietnam, viernamese shot the US boat the maddox, an unprovoked attack, but not attack could be proven
lbj asked congress for an authorization to “repel any armed attack against the us”, this gulf of tonkin resolution was passed in congress, it was basically a declaration of war (1964)</p>
<p>the war
the enemy
moves such as full metal jacket “me so horny”<– lol, shows the frightening experiences of war
vietcong had booby traps, built tunnels, ho chi minh trails were routes carrying supplies from north to south

johnson didn’t run for reelection

nixon and agnew nominated by the republicans, promised “peace with honor” spoke for the silent majority, nixon won</p>
<p>nixon and the war
vietnamize the war- us troops would train south vietnamese troops to fight on their own, america would try to win the hearts and minds of the vietnamese
nixon had kissinger arrange invasions of cambodia and laos to destroy the ho chi minh trail, this prompted the kent state demonstration</p>
<p>domestic strategy
nixon ended the draft, all volunteer army</p>
