<p>Can we get some more opinions about the question about status of the cities in the late 19th century? It was an except question. The choices were: municipal reforms on fire safety, sanitation reform, federal reform to decrease poverty, and another one.</p>
<p>I put federal reform to reduce poverty because the Progressive Era did not start until 1901.</p>
<p>I also put federal reform to reduce poverty because during this era, the federal government did very little to assist the poor (if any of all) because its “motto” or “mantra” was to support big-business not social reform. I feel the federal programs to decrease poverty did not really take presence until the New Deal and later Johnson’s Great Society. </p>
<p>That being said, I do feel municipal reforms on fire safety could be a possibility as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory incident occurred in 1911. I haven’t found evidence that supports the elimination of any one of these two answers.</p>
<p>Also on a sidenote: I disagree with the answer that stagflation dominated the American economy between 1945-1970 as inflation rates during this era were significantly lower than that of the 1970s (based on a graph I found online). And I can find no mention that stagflation was a significant presence prior to the 1970s.</p>
<p>What about fire reform? Didn’t the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire trigger fire reform? And that happened in 1911.</p>
<p>@houstonrep, I did consider that as an answer choice but knowing that this is the SAT II, they are looking for the most apparent choice, which is the one about poverty. I just ran a quick google search and apparently the first municipal fire departments were founded in 1824, and there was probably some reform from 1824-1899.</p>
<p>@flyingwatermelon I think that one was industrial-military complex. Stagflation was a problem during Carter’s era.</p>
<p>Also, does anybody remember getting Andrew Carnegie as an answer?</p>
<p>^I think I chose him for something to do with the Social Gospel? idk they may have been two different questions I can’t remember too well at this point haha</p>
<p>The question that had Andrew Carnegie was about who thought the church should help reform society. The answer wasn’t Andrew Carnegie though, it was about the woman who was involved with the social gospel</p>
<p>@exile3418 That’s what I put too. The military-industrial complex.</p>
<p>@satman1111 Haha Washington Gladden and the Social Gospel and he was a man not a woman :P</p>
<p>@flyingwatermelon, whatever, that was still the answer!</p>
<p>Can someone please give me a link to a google doc that has all the answers in it. Thank you</p>
<p>Can someone please do the same for me too? thank you so much :)</p>
<p>yaa, me too please. Thanks!</p>
<p>Me as well please</p>
<p>Could I get a link to the document as well?</p>
<p>Me too. Pm me plz!?</p>
<p>How do you know such a document exists? If it does, I’d like it too, though. :D</p>
<p>Me toooooo</p>
<p>I’d like to see it too please</p>
<p>Just saying, it wasn’t Carnegie.
Carnegie = Gospel of Wealth = donating money to the poor (ex: libraries, scholarships, etc)</p>
<p>Then there’s the Social Gospel, which was the religious doctrines preached by those who believed that the churches should directly address economic and social problems.</p>
<p>Social Gospel != Gospel of Wealth</p>
<p>I know, its a pain to remember.</p>
