<p>New Federalism or revenue sharing allowed Congress to give $30 billion of grants to state/local gov'ts to use as they see fit. It was Nixon's attempt to return the nation to a conservative mood after New Deal liberalism. </p>

<p>Explain the Crittenden Compromise and the Corrupt Bargain ( I know those are unrelated, but I need help. =) )</p>
<p>crittenden compromise was a last resort to avoid a civil war.. senator James Crittenden proposed a compromise where above the 36 30 line, there would be no slavery but below it,t here could be even if they acquired new states, (cuba) etc.. but President Lincoln flat out rejected it because he was elected on a platform that did not support slavery</p>
<p>The corrupt bargain was in the the election of 1824.. where john quincy adams was running against Andrew jackson, and Henry clay was the speaker of the house at the time, so apparently clay allowed adams to become president and in turn, adams appointed clay as secretary of state.. so they say that it was a "corrupt bargain".. which eventually led to jackson's win in the next election..</p>
<p>sorry if the responses are detailed enough.. lolol.. its from the top of my head..</p>
<p>Ok.. sooooo.. can we go over big picture things.. like trends in us history.. maybe divide it up in big sections and just list some details under each one?</p>
<p>Baker v.s. Carr (1962) --> Warren said "one man, one vote", district lines redrawn to present equal representation to all. The Warren Court ruled in this case because previously district lines for elections had favored the rural areas, while discriminating against the urban areas.</p>
<p>Errrm. Can someone explain the Foraker act and the Rush-Bagot agreement?</p>
<p>I dunno about the Foraker Act, but the Rush-Bagot Agreement was signed BTW Britain and U.S. during Monroe's presidency. It established the reduction of armament near the Great Lakes and fortifications along the U.S.-Canadian border. Eentually this border was the largest unfortified border in history. </p>
<p>Now can someone tell us what the Foraker Act was? >.<</p>
<p>the foraker act did something with setting up a civil govt. in puerto rico after spanish-american war</p>

<p>Q: What was the Tet Offensive & what response did it generate out of the American People?</p>
<p>in 1968 on the lunar new year, the viet cong launched a surprise attack on southern vietnam bases/villages which were basically US fortified, so US troops fought back with more oomph and did a lot more damage than the VC. but this was all broadcasted back home on television and the american people were pretty upset with all the destruction.</p>
