<p>So what’s the answer to the Nez Perce question? I’m thinking C but the the answer choices are very familiar to one another.</p>
<p>Idk if anyone else wants to give it a shot but the answer is C. Good job swaggerer :)</p>
<p>Who was the hero of Tippecanoe?</p>
<p>@ Shizzle: Tippecanoe = Harrison. Battle of New Orleans = Jackson.</p>
<p>What do we need to know about farmers? Populist party, etc?</p>
<p>Things we need to know about farmers probably include the Granger movement, populist party, industrial revolution, market revolution, ups and downs throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and the impact the New Deal had on them. That’s all I can think of now.</p>
<p>BTW, does anyone have any experience with Kaplan practice tests? I got a 790 on their diagnostic test, but I did notice that their curve was very lenient.</p>
<p>Hmm… Populist Party was a mainly farmer’s party that wanted the unlimited coinage of silver, increase of money in circulation + William Jennings Bryan.</p>
<p>To Jakeus: I graded myself in Kaplan according to the College Board’s curve because their curve was like 30 points off or so. </p>
<p>Example: 720 in Kaplan = 690 in College Board.</p>
<p>Can anyone explain how the formation of labor unions in 1870-1900 achieved their objectives ?</p>
<p>d12345, I’d say that they didn’t achieve their objective. The government was still a big friend to big business and always sided with the business over laborers. Plus, many unions made big mistakes or were messed up by events outside of their control. If you look at most of the strikes of the late 1800s, you’d see that most of them failed.</p>
<p>While that blanket statement is correct to a point, it fails to discuss those labor unions that managed to achieve their objectives. Although many labor unions that were closely associated with political movements (i.e. socialism) were unable to make serious headway, other labor unions that focused on ‘bread-and-butter’ issues accomplished many of their stated objectives. One example that comes to mind is the American Federation of Labor (AFL), which [successfully] focused on securing for its members higher wages, better working conditions, and a shorter work week. Many other labor unions that avoided the far left and radical tools, like strikes, were also successful to a certain degree.</p>
<p>Also, labor unions picked up major help from progressivism. Progressive movements such as child-labor laws, muckrakers’ exposure to the harsh conditions, etc…aided labor unions in gaining government support.</p>
<p>Are you guys familiar with the various doctrines?</p>
<p>Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt Corollary, Truman Doctrine, Eisenhower Doctrine, etc.</p>
<p>Monroe - basically we were no longer open to western colonization. We wouldn’t try to interfere with GB government and they shouldn’t do so to us.</p>
<p>Roosevelt corollary - idk</p>
<p>Truman - we wont try to change but contain communism in the countries where it already exists</p>
<p>Eisenhower - actually its in my history homework tonight that I haven’t gotten to yet lol but I think someone already explained it earlier in this thread</p>
<p>Roosevelt Corollary- America is the police force of the Western Hemisphere, used to keep Europeans out.</p>
<p>Truman Doctrine- We are the democratic leader of the free world, and we will help countries in need</p>
<p>Eisenhower doctrine- Don’t know the specifics but I know it was mostly focused in the Middle East.</p>
<p>Lincoln Quotes:</p>
<p>“A House divided against itself cannot stand” - Lincoln-Douglas Debates</p>
<p>“Government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth” - Gettysburg address</p>
<p>“You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors” - 1st Inaugural Address</p>
<p>“With malice toward none and charity for all” - 2nd Inaugural Address</p>
<p>Yeah the other three are essentially right, Eisenhower doctrine was that we will provide aid to any Middle Eastern nation who is fighting communism and asks for help</p>
<p>What were some major differences between war against Germany and the war against japan?</p>
<p>Germany was land based, Japan water based, that’s one thing</p>
