1) The most talked about Awakenings were the first and second. The awakenings were a religious revival movement. The first awakening was in Great Britain and her colonies. Jonathan Edwards, a congressionalist minister accepted everyone into his audience. He traveled all over trying to convert everyone and make the New World a Christian country. The second great awakening got women to be more involved. They were trying to abolish slavery and find a solution for alcoholism.

2) The strengths of the Native Americans were they knew the lands and their kinship ties helped somewhat. They were smart and civilized in their own way. Their weaknesses were they were more likely to die from diseases the Europeans brought over, they had many languages and they were already fighting among themselves. The treatment differ from east and west because there were no real government in the west therefore people were more likely to get away for murders. The Indians were civilized by forced to convert their religion, cut their hair and dress like Europeans and speak their language. The Indians used the buffalo for their meat and skin for warm blankets and their tusks for weapons. The Sand Creek massacre is a village of Indians were killed.

3) Jacksonians- Indian Removal, Bank War, for the little guy

      Jeffersonian-Against bank, agriculture, avoid entangling alliances…

4) Jefferson-independent farmers, favored states’ rights, limited government

5) Daily life in the cities was busy. The cities were polluted. Women and children and immigrants began to work in factories more and more in dangerous conditions.

6) Homestead Act- people were selling their lands away and the big corporate bought them. Later on when the civilians want to access some kind of natural resources in the area they sold they have to buy it from the company.

7) The foreign minors were the Chinese, Germans, French, English, Mexicans, Latin Americans, Scott-Irish, Italian and Greeks. They were treated badly because they would take job no one wants and agree to get paid less than everyone. Also they were discriminated against for where they came from.

8) Mining camp was run by simple democracy and was wild.

9) Decent women were rare in the West. The often took jobs as cooks, housekeepers and seamstresses and for wages higher than in the East. Women in mining camps helped to foster family life and raised the moral tone by campaigning against drinking, gambling and prostitution.

10) Custer was responsible for his and his men’s death but “Custer’s Last Stand” set off a nationwide demand for revenge.

11) Divided tribal lands into individual family plots, 160 acres for family head 
, 80 acres for single adults, 40 acres for dependent children, surplus sold to white settlers, to fund Indian schools, Land held in trust for 15 years could not be sold leased by speculators, US citizenship would be granted after 25 years, Later altered by law, mixed heritage Indians can sell land

12) Workers were campaigning for an 8 hours work day. Someone threw a dynamite bomb that killed one policeman and fatally wounded 6 others. The police shot into the crowd killing 4.

13) Railroads provided transportation. It was what helped won the Civil War. Also, it was an easier way to transport goods within the country.

14) America outgrow European industrialization because we have lots of resources within the country, the idea of freedom and wealth brought immigrants to the land, Europeans had conflicts among themselves and countries they were controlling are revolting.

15) KOL- wanted to unite all labor, the Knights welcomed everyone whole toiled, regardless off skill, sex, creed or color, workers should not strike, order’s platform included 8 hour day and abolition of child labor but more often it focused on uplifting utopian reform.

16) Credit Mobilier-construction Company controlled by an inner ring on the Union Pacific, bribed congressmen and state legislators to avoid investigation, the land grants enabled to build railroads into Indian territories.

17) Immigrants’ wives were housekeepers and mothers.

20) Streetcar systems extended the radius and changed the urban map

21) 

22) Carnegie- Steel Company produced 1 million tons of steel a year, his steel alone produced more than Great Britain, the largest industrial company in the world

      

Rockefeller- built the Standard Oil Company at 24, triumphed for high quality of oil at the lowest unit cost, hired spies to harass customers of competing refiners, threatened rivals, bribed politicians, controlled 90% of country’s entire oil-refining capacity

23) Half the cowboys were Blacks and Mexicans

24) a) they were given the name because of the fight they put up when they were attacked

      b) They joined because of the recruitment posters also maybe because they wanted to prove that they can be a better soldier than the “white” men.

      c) Only a few buffalo soldiers desert because maybe the conditions weren’t as bad as slavery

      d) The experience of the buffalo soldiers and the African soldiers today are different because though there are still racism, the buffalo soldiers had to deal with that more and the conditions now are not as bad.

25) a) the solutions tell us that the city booster of the time was great, people needed more jobs. These attitudes still being expressed today by protest. The larger forces at work in finding Chicago was natural resources and because of transportation.

      b) It changed the American diet because they were killing so many of them in a year

      c) Other products are fertilizer, buttons, soap, combs and glue. Their method has improved but I believe they’re still producing in a similar way. These products changed daily American life by improving it.

26) a) it was fair because they had to make sure the immigrants didn’t carry any diseases with them into the US

      b) It was different because the steerage class had to go through more tests and had a higher chance of being sent back

      c) The arguments were disease and radical political views, I think these arguments were stupid because people were only afraid of what they don’t know and weren’t willing to give it a try. It is different from immigration today because now a day people are more accepting of different races.

27) a) the Supreme Court handed down a series of decisions that overturned much reconstruction legislation, limited federal protection for blacks, and encouraged racial segregation. I think this is very ignorant. To look down on someone because of their skin color is a very stupid thing to do. Everybody believe in don’t judge a book by its cover then why were they

doing that? Today public opinion of Blacks have improved however it need to be better because there are still stereotypes out there and more Black people should try to change it instead of living to it.

      b) It probably was effective in those days but I thought that was very stupid. You should be proud of your heritage.

      c) Some of the factors were imperialism and thoughts of people inferior.

28) a) It was popular because it was a warm fantasy story which took people from their daily lives. The cyclone in the story took her from a drought Kansas into a land of riches.

      b) The values Baum was trying to illustrate were freedom, love independence, self reliance, individualism and sympathy. He was attempting to address the great depression. It was symbolized by the characters because Dorothy had sympathy and the characters loved their friends. Also, they later rules on their own.

      c) Baum was successful in creating an American fairy tale because the story was creative, joyful which helped get people away from the sadness in the world. If Baum was writing today, the issues he would address are immigration and religion.
