<p>yeah, sorry I just remembered as well.</p>

<p>I read it as practicality=pragmatism</p>

<p>I put pragmatism</p>

<p>the one about how the republicans and militant abolitionists was definitely that the republicans did not want to get rid of slavery in places that had it already, they were just against it spreading into more. The militant ones wanted to fight to get rid of it everywhere.</p>

<p>for the british mercantilism one, there were two answers that were really close. one was make the american colonies a raw material market, the other was limiting the options of the american colonies…so, which one?</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question about status of the city during end of the 19th century (it was an except question). One of the answers was municipal response to fires and another answer was how reformers sought for better sanitation. I circled the answer that stated that the federal government gave support to eliminate urban poverty.</p>

<p>@lakeshow I put that too, since federal reform didn’t really start until the early 1900s.</p>

<p>what do you guys think about the cartoon about the man trying to purchase an American car?</p>

<p>It was either they had too many brands or they were confused about a American car</p>

<p>I put that cars weren’t made in America anymore.</p>

<p>^but they were. The cartoon made it clear that Japanese cars were made in Ohio, and therefore (even though it wasn’t an American company), cars were still made in the US. I said that it was difficult to determine what an American car was anymore.</p>

<p>The Square Deal focused on the environment, not the New Deal. Also, for the spanish-american war one, I was torn between roosevelt corollary and colony gaining, because Teddy gave a speech expressing the corollary in 1904 whereas the Philippines was (were?) gained immediately after the war.</p>
