*official Us History Thread*

<p>I disagree with you on the Eisenhower one. The only thing that Eisenhower could desegregate was the military, which he did do. However, he also mediated the Suez canal crisis, which led to much of our foreign policy in the ME.</p>

<p>Blech, another one I got wrong. I put that both houses of congress were directly elected.</p>

<p>I'll concede to your point about Suez, kibitzer. I'm not as comfortable with really recent history as I am with the rest of it, so I won't be the most reliable source on Eisenhower. I had that question down to either Suez or desegregation. </p>

<p>Are there any more questionable ones?</p>

<p>I said the US was the biggest source of raw cotton, not cotton sheets, or cotton products, or whatever the phrasing was.</p>

<p>For the 3 possible numbers about labor unions, I chose I, II, and III. They teamed up (afl-cio), they had trouble keeping members (Knights of Labor, post Haymarket Square), and...what was the 2nd one? something about organization of unskilled laborers? anyway. </p>

<p>The farmers formed politcal groups to fight back- the Grange, Populists, etc.</p>

<p>The text talking about the unfair advantages of the rich and the inability of the rest of the population to benefit....was supporting Social Gospel, i believe. It might have been Social Darwinism, but that ideology validated the phenomenon described in the text, but the words had a negative tone, meaning the author disliked the Darwinism concept. Social Gospel focused on a trickling down of wealth- the extremely affluent would get rich, and their success would help out the poor.</p>

<p>Temperance fought against public drunkenness.</p>

<p>Abolition was the end of slavery, obviously.</p>

<p>Gulf of Tonkin referred to Vietnam, as did the Tet Offensive.</p>

<p>The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee was against the war, led by young people disillusioned with society, etc.</p>

<p>Speaking of disillusion, that was also the topic of most writing during the Depression. </p>

<p>I couldn't remember what Cesar Chavez's later contributions were. Anyone? Also, what was the very first question?</p>

<p>The creation of the Republican Party was the result of the Kansas Nebraska Act. </p>

<p>strange i dont remember this question
what were some other answers</p>

<p>the first question was 'common sense'</p>

<p>ceasar chavez i think we agreed that it was "agricultural unions"</p>

<p>am i correct?</p>

<p>ryan2288 is absolutely right about the european immigration question.
it was italy and hungary, not germany or spain. cause we know italy is a given, now Hungary is the right now because if any of you read the Jungle by Upton Sinclair in which Jurgis Rudkus A HUNGARIAN lands into chicago's meat packing factory. Because of that book, meat and food inspection act was passed.</p>

<p>what was the answer to the question about hoover during the depression. like did he rely on the business community or the indusrial unionists to cure the economy?</p>

<p>i put business community cause i know he hurged big businesses to be cooperative during that time.</p>

<p>kibitzer, i think ur 99.9% right on the eisenhower question, cause eisenhower was a moderate and didn't want to alienate his base, so he didn't give a damn to desegregation. Kennedy and LBJ were the ones that started taking Civil rights seriously, voting rights act of 65, civil rights acts of 64 & 68. eisenhower's term ended in 61.</p>

they did want to live in what they have annexed...eg: hawaii. so i put christian as well

[/quote]
</p>

<p>No, Hawaii was for pineapple and sugar-cane farming</p>

<p>As for Christianity, I remember doing a practice DBQ where one of the documents was from Josiah Strong (remember him?)</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>I put that he relied on business community as well.</p>

<p>What was our biggest export pre civil war.
Also, was there a question on the Tet Offensive?</p>

<p>Cotton was the largest export pre 1850...</p>

<p>i thought it was sugar (triangular trade )
but thats probably wayyyy before when they were looking for
I just remember it saying "before 1840" or whatever</p>

<p>I said cotton too. I didn't remember learning much about the other products, so I assumed it wouldn't simply be some banal trivia, but actually have relevance to history.</p>

<p>cotton was king from 1790 onward, right around the time of the cotton gin.</p>
