<p>lol, no, it was progressives. I believe it was the governor of Wisconsin or Wyoming who initiated (pun! lol) the initiative, referndum, and recall. Progressives took much of their platform from populists, who had wanted the direct election of senators (I believe that was the 20th amendment? Correct me if I'm wrong here).</p>
<p>proclamation of neutrality towards the British and French (allowed the US to trade with both nations) who were at war. this angered both of them and they started to impress American ships.</p>
<p>Whose works and ideas prompted the Sexual Revolution in the 1920s?</p>
<p>Is it Sigmund Freud? </p>
<p>Q: Why did Secretary of State Bryan resign during Wilson's administration?</p>
<p>He was angry b/c Wilson was giving the German's special treatment concerning them sinking ship and violating international law. Wilson let Germany off the hook for the Lusitania, Sussex, etc.</p>
<p>Q: Who was George Creel (what US organization did he head)?</p>
<p>He headed the Creel Committee (or the Committee on Public Information) during WWI to sway Americans against the imperious and ruthless Germans. Propaganda included paid films, posters, speakers, pamphlets, etc.</p>
<p>What treaty revoked the measures settled in the Webster-Ashburton Treaty?</p>
<p>Actually the answer to phoenix257 Q is that Bryan was a pacifist and he believed that Wilson's ultimatum to Germany was too war-like.</p>
<p>yeah, I suck. thanks abena.</p>
<p>The Webster-Ashburton Treaty settled the dispute over the New Brunswick border. I don't know how they could overturn that treaty, if it happened then i'm stumped</p>
<p>EDIT: The W-A Treaty went back on the Treaty of Paris following the Revolution that gave the US all the land around rivers that flowed to the Atlantic, but I still don't know what would have then nullified the Webster-Ashburton.</p>
<p>What did the progressive moment do to reform working conditions?</p>
<p>strikes? (maybe...idk)</p>
<p>you had your muckrakers like Upton Sinclair who helped reform the meat packing industry, and Jacob Riis who exposed slum conditions...
i don't know if that really answers the question though</p>
<p>there were changes in working conditions, laws on hours, laws concerning child labor and wages as well</p>
<p>What state "seceded" from the South and why?</p>
<p>South Carolina in order to preserve slavery and their slave-dependent economy.</p>
<p>Which major factors prompted the U.S. into WWI?</p>
<p>South Carolina, I believe, b/c of the debate over nullification? But then again, i've been know to be wrong.</p>
<p>Q: Who negotiated the Lousiana Purchase with France? Which future president went over to aid this diplomat?</p>
<p>Whoops...too late. To answer jackson, Germany's use of U-boats on steam ships (Sussex, Lustiana, etc.). Probably something else here, too.</p>
<p>Jefferson....don't know the future president part, sorry!</p>
<p>What was the significance of the Battle of Bunker Hill?</p>
<p>I was looking for Livingston and Monroe (diplomats). </p>
<p>I know that Bunker Hill was the point at which the Americans knew that their differences with the British were too great for reconciliation. Is this what you're looking for?</p>
<p>News of the battle between colonists and the British on Bunker Hill reached England around the same time as the Olive Branch petition, and thus the King proclaimed that New England was in a state of rebellion.</p>
<p>Significance of Saratoga.</p>
<p>more like even though the U.S. lost, the British suffered many casualties and it was kind of a turning point. the u.s. proved they were a country to beat.</p>
<p>What state "seceded" from the South and why?</p>
<p>South Carolina seceded from the Union to preserve their slavery after Lincoln was elected, and Buchanan pis sed them off. WEST VIRGINIA "seceded" from Virginia(in the South) because several western counties of Virginia did not want to be part of the Confederacy</p>
