<p>Washington was for the equality of all blacks and helped the poor ones. Du Bois only considered the upper class, or those who were educated. </p>
<p>I think…</p>
<p>What was the Northwest Ordinance?</p>
<p>Which party did Theodore Roosevelt run with for a third term?</p>
<p>NW Ordinance - 1787, divided the land north of the Mississippi River into settlement plots. It’s most important because it established a precedent for how future states would be organized and admitted into the Union. It raised revenue for the government, and part of this revenue was used to build schools. (Kind of like the Morill Act) Also, slavery was banned in the NW Territory, leading to the geographical division of free and slave states. It’s generally seen as one of the few important things that the Articles of Confederation government did.</p>
<p>Roosevelt tried to run as a Republican but Taft controlled the nomination process so he lost. Roosevelt then formed the Progressive Party, which is more commonly called the Bull Moose Party.</p>
<p>The Northwest Ordinance of 1797 was an Add-a-State Plan. It basically put Jefferson’s plan for settlements in the western wilderness into law. First, when there were still almost no people in a territory, it would have a governor, a secretary, and three judges named by congress. Then, as soon as there were 5000 adult free men, there would be a legislature where the people of the territory could make laws for themselves. And finally, when the free population numbered 60000 the people could apply for admission to the Union as a state. [Ugh idk if I explained that well, sorry]</p>
<p>Bull Moose party for TR.</p>
<p>“Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its posessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.”</p>
<p>Who is the author of the above quote?
(A) John D. Rockefeller
(B) J.P. Morgan
(C) Andrew Carnegie
(D) Eugene Debs
(E) Henry Ford</p>
<p>Weren’t the first three philanthropists so how are we suppose to know which one said it?</p>
<p>Really? Sounds like something Carnegie would say.</p>
<p>I’m hoping that the answer is (C) Andrew Carnegie.</p>
<p>Andrew Carnegie was the biggest of the philanthropists</p>
<p>Then again, it could be Debs because he was for socialism.</p>
<p>Yup it’s C. I forgot about all those people lol. Quick review Rockefeller, Morgan, and Carnegie?</p>
<p>Rockefeller was oil (Standard Oil), Morgan was finances and banking, and Carnegie was steel.</p>
<p>Rockefeller- horizontal monopoly for Oil
Morgan- investor who basically controlled the economy at one point
Carnegie- vertical monopoly for steel</p>
<p>Horizontal Monopoly - When a lot of companies in the same sector come together to form a trust of sorts.</p>
<p>Vertical Monopoly - Control the raw materials all the way up to the finished product, cut out the middle man :)</p>

<p>Ah. I got to read the whole Amsco book this week.
■■■.
Finishing up Math II Barrons today and starting Amsco tomorrow.
Haven’t opened US material since the AP exam. =(</p>
<p>I’m not using a prep book because it really annoys me when the prep books leave out important things that I know to be important and I’m forever flipping between my American Pageant and prep book to fill in the blanks. So I just read the American Pageant ;)</p>
