The document discusses the NAACP's "Double V for Victory" campaign during World War II which aimed to challenge racism and desegregate restaurants. It was most successful in Maryland and Delaware, where the NAACP organized pickets of small lunch counters that did much of their business between 11am-2pm. The well-dressed and polite picketers persuaded many white customers to eat elsewhere, pressuring the restaurants to desegregate. This campaign demonstrated that the NAACP could force systemic change by organizing large numbers to challenge aspects of the discriminatory system.

This document summarizes the rise of television in the 1950s and the phenomenon of the television show "I Love Lucy". It discusses how television ownership grew dramatically in the late 1940s and 1950s, with over 90% of homes owning a TV by 1960. It then focuses on the success of "I Love Lucy", starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, which was a huge hit when it premiered in 1951, attracting tens of millions of viewers each week. The show was groundbreaking for portraying marriage and pregnancy realistically. It remained the number one show for years and influenced the sitcom genre.

Reasons Why Immigration Was Being To Be Stopped
Attitudes toward immigration in the United States became more restrictive in the early 1920s for several reasons. The Red Scare following World War 1 led many Americans to fear immigrants from certain parts of Europe. The postwar economic troubles caused resentment against immigrants who were seen as competing for scarce jobs. Racist attitudes against immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as Asia, also contributed to the desire to cut immigration levels.
Brinkley13 ppt ch23
The document summarizes Chapter 23 of the textbook "American History" by Alan Brinkley, which discusses the Great Depression. It describes how the stock market crash of 1929 led to the onset of the Depression, with rising unemployment, drought-induced Dust Bowl conditions devastating farmers, and shantytowns appearing across the country. The chapter also examines the unsuccessful policies of President Hoover to address the economic crisis and growing social unrest, culminating in the landslide election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 on a promise of bold new solutions.
151 Nativism And Prohibition
- The document discusses several social issues in the early 20th century United States including nativism, the Ku Klux Klan, controlling immigration, the fundamentalist movement, and prohibition. It provides context on how each of these issues manifested and their impact.
Comparative history
The document compares cultural changes that occurred in the US and Europe during the 1920s. In the US, movies became very popular and influential, exposing traditional values to more progressive attitudes around sexuality and consumption. Similarly in France, the "Crazy Years" paralleled the US "Roaring Twenties" with a live-for-the-moment spirit. Silent films from the US had different impacts depending on the audience's culture. Jazz also represented a transatlantic cultural shift, with Europeans more receptive to its exotic sounds. Both periods marked revolutions in behavior that dissolved traditional ways and shaped the future.
civil war final 2
The document summarizes how different groups in the US after the Civil War promoted competing narratives to explain the causes and consequences of the war. It discusses how Black Americans, abolitionists, and Radical Republicans emphasized slavery as the fundamental cause and the need to secure rights for freed slaves. Meanwhile, many Southerners pushed the "Lost Cause" narrative and idea of states' rights. Ultimately, the dominant narrative became one of "Reunion" and "Reconciliation" to help reunite the country. Popular culture works like novels, films, songs, and photographs played a large role in shaping and spreading these competing memories of the war.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in Minnesota and began writing stories in school. He met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre in 1918 but she rejected him as he was not wealthy enough. After gaining success from his novels, Fitzgerald and Zelda married in 1920. They moved to Great Neck, Long Island in 1922, which inspired the setting for The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby in the 1920s to chronicle the era of prosperity, organized crime, and materialism known as the Jazz Age. Though initially a commercial failure, the novel has since become recognized as a great work of American literature that explores themes of the American Dream.
America Compared
Though the United States claims not to be an empire, it has acted in imperialist ways since World War 2 by enforcing its power and priorities globally. After the war, America's economic might surpassed even Britain's height. While not taking direct control of territories, the US used its influence to open foreign markets and shape the global order. This unilateral approach under Reagan led to debates around an "American empire" and accusations the US exempted itself from international rules, though it denied being an empire and saw itself as promoting stability. Some embraced the idea of an American empire to spread democracy and human rights.

1) Between the 1960s and 1890, conflict arose as Americans expanded Westward into Indian lands, leading the U.S. government to constrain Native Americans onto small reservations. Large tribes like the Sioux and Cheyenne resisted, but the U.S. Army overpowered them.
2) In the late 19th century, the U.S. and Canada attempted to assimilate Native Americans by forcing them to adopt "white" customs through residential schools that aimed to erase Indigenous cultures. These programs largely failed to help Native peoples.
3) During the Great Depression, both the U.S. and Germany suffered widespread poverty. Franklin Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler were elected after promising reforms, though their policies differed
Walter White And The Battle For The Black Image
Walter White, the Executive Secretary of the NAACP from 1929-1955, fought to improve portrayals of Black people in Hollywood. In 1942, he negotiated an agreement with major studios to monitor depictions, but it lacked enforcement. While some films made small strides in integration, most stereotypes remained. White faced criticism from some Black actors who felt their roles were threatened, though his goal was expanding opportunities. Though he saw little immediate change, White helped shift Hollywood and lived to see more diverse roles emerge in later years.

The document discusses resistance to white supremacy in the American civil rights movement and South Africa between the 1950s-1960s. It notes that Martin Luther King Jr. led the nonviolent American movement, drawing from Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence. This successful movement led to civil rights legislation in 1964-1965. In South Africa, the nonviolent Defiance Campaign was brutally suppressed by the government, massacring protesters and banning the opposition ANC party. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 25 years as a result. The movements in both places aimed to end racial segregation but only the American one succeeded at that time.

Woodrow Wilson reluctantly led the US into World War I after Germany declared unrestricted submarine warfare. Wilson maintained neutrality for as long as possible but Germany's actions, such as sinking American ships, forced his hand. He mobilized the nation for war through the Committee on Public Information, led by George Creel, which effectively rallied public support. Wilson outlined his vision for a just postwar peace in his Fourteen Points address to Congress in 1918.

Richard Nixon's foreign policy was deeply influenced by Henry Kissinger and their realpolitik approach. They pursued détente with the Soviet Union through arms reduction treaties. Nixon also opened relations with China by making a historic visit in 1972, meeting with Mao Zedong. This helped reduce tensions between the US and two communist powers. Nixon also encountered resistance to his China visit from advisers concerned it would hurt his image as anti-communist. But Nixon and Kissinger believed improving relations with China was strategically important.
thank you for being late book review
Thomas L. Friedman is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and New York Times columnist. The book "Thank You For Being Late" argues that three major forces - technology, globalization, and climate change - are accelerating and transforming work, politics, geopolitics, ethics, and community. Friedman asserts that 2007 marked an inflection point where advances in mobile technology created a new platform, which he calls the "supernova," that is reshaping all aspects of modern life. The book serves as both a contemporary history of this era and a guide for navigating a time of great change and opportunity.

Introduction Hi, Im John Green. This is Crash Cour
Introduction
Hi, I'm John Green. This is Crash Course U.S. History, and today we're going to continue our look
at the Gilded Age by focusing on political science.
Mr. Green! Mr. Green! So it's another history class where we don't actually talk about history?
Oh, me from the past. Your insistence on trying to place academic exploration into little boxes
creates a little box that you yourself will live in for the rest of your life if you don't put your
interdisciplinary party hat on!
So the Gilded Age takes its name from a book by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner that was
called The Gilded Age: a Tale of Today. It was published in 1873, and it was not that successful.
But while the Gilded Age conjures up visions of fancy parties and ostentatious displays of wealth,
the book itself was about politics, and it gives a very negative appraisal of the state of American
democracy at the time. Which shouldn't come as a huge surprise coming from Twain, whose
comments about Congress included, "Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a
member of Congress. But I repeat myself." And also, "It could probably be shown by facts and
figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
So when faced with the significant changes taking place in the American economy after the Civil
War, America's political system both nationally and locally dealt with these problems in the best
way possible: by becoming incredibly corrupt.
[Crash Course intro]
Ohhh, Stan says I have to taken off my party hat. Ruh, ruhr ruhrrr.
The Urban Political Machine
So former House speaker Tip O'Neil once famously said that all politics is local, and although that
isn't actually true, I am going to start with local politics today. Specifically, one of America's
greatest inventions: the urban political machine. So a political machine is basically an organization
that works to win elections so that they can exercise power. The most famous political machine
was New York City's Tammany Hall, which dominated Democratic Party politics in the late 19th
century, survived until the 20th, and is keenly associated with corruption.
The Mystery Document
Oh, it's already time for the mystery document? This is highly unorthodox, Stan. Well, the rules here
are simple; I guess the author of the mystery document, I'm usually wrong, and I get shocked with
the shock pen. All right, let's see what we got here.
Mystery document: "My party's in power in the city, and it's going to undertake a lot of public
improvements. Well, I'm tipped off, say, that they're going to lay out a new park at a certain place
and buy up all the land I can in the neighborhood. Then the board of this or that makes its plan
public, and there is a rush to get my land, which nobody cared particular for before. Ain't it perfectly
honest to charge a good price and make a profit on my investment and foresight. Of course it is.

Introduction Hi, Im John Green. This is Crash Cour
Introduction
Hi, I'm John Green. This is Crash Course U.S. History, and today we're going to continue our look
at the Gilded Age by focusing on political science.
Mr. Green! Mr. Green! So it's another history class where we don't actually talk about history?
Oh, me from the past. Your insistence on trying to place academic exploration into little boxes
creates a little box that you yourself will live in for the rest of your life if you don't put your
interdisciplinary party hat on!
So the Gilded Age takes its name from a book by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner that was
called The Gilded Age: a Tale of Today. It was published in 1873, and it was not that successful.
But while the Gilded Age conjures up visions of fancy parties and ostentatious displays of wealth,
the book itself was about politics, and it gives a very negative appraisal of the state of American
democracy at the time. Which shouldn't come as a huge surprise coming from Twain, whose
comments about Congress included, "Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a
member of Congress. But I repeat myself." And also, "It could probably be shown by facts and
figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
So when faced with the significant changes taking place in the American economy after the Civil
War, America's political system both nationally and locally dealt with these problems in the best
way possible: by becoming incredibly corrupt.
[Crash Course intro]
Ohhh, Stan says I have to taken off my party hat. Ruh, ruhr ruhrrr.
The Urban Political Machine
So former House speaker Tip O'Neil once famously said that all politics is local, and although that
isn't actually true, I am going to start with local politics today. Specifically, one of America's
greatest inventions: the urban political machine. So a political machine is basically an organization
that works to win elections so that they can exercise power. The most famous political machine
was New York City's Tammany Hall, which dominated Democratic Party politics in the late 19th
century, survived until the 20th, and is keenly associated with corruption.
The Mystery Document
Oh, it's already time for the mystery document? This is highly unorthodox, Stan. Well, the rules here
are simple; I guess the author of the mystery document, I'm usually wrong, and I get shocked with
the shock pen. All right, let's see what we got here.
Mystery document: "My party's in power in the city, and it's going to undertake a lot of public
improvements. Well, I'm tipped off, say, that they're going to lay out a new park at a certain place
and buy up all the land I can in the neighborhood. Then the board of this or that makes its plan
public, and there is a rush to get my land, which nobody cared particular for before. Ain't it perfectly
honest to charge a good price and make a profit on my investment and foresight. Of course it is.
That's h ...

The document argues that Brexit will ultimately not happen for three key reasons: 1) No possible deal will be as good as the current deal, 2) As negotiations progress, the public will see that any deal will be bad, and 3) The British public still has the power to stop Brexit through tactical voting against MPs who support it. While some have given up hope, others must continue fighting Brexit by pledging to vote tactically and putting pressure on MPs to represent their views against leaving the EU. As time goes on and negotiations fail to produce a satisfactory deal, public opinion will continue shifting against Brexit.

This document summarizes discussions from online forums about gun control policies and the potential for civil unrest or conflict. The discussions express disagreement with President Trump's proposed policies linking gun ownership to mental health databases. One participant worries that giving more power to the government is not the solution. Others argue that societal norms are breaking down and irreconcilable differences between political perspectives could lead to civil war if the gap is not bridged. The document concludes by stating that millions of Americans will not accept socialism and are heavily armed, so pushing them too far could spark conflict like the American Revolutionary War.
Capitalization Rules
Capitalization Rules provides guidelines for capitalization in the English language. Some key points include:
1) Capitalize the first word of every sentence, the first word of quotations, names of people, places, days, months, and languages.
2) Capitalize family words if used alone or followed by a name but not if used with a possessive pronoun.
3) Capitalize titles of works, organizations, businesses, and trade names but not generic names of products.
4) Capitalize geographical areas and locations but not directions unless part of a proper name.
Hope for the United States of America
This document discusses the need for the Democratic party to clarify what it stands for beyond just opposing Donald Trump. It argues that merely talking about hope is not enough and that the party needs to engage in discussions around policies that will actually improve people's lives, such as reducing inequality, reining in Wall Street, and ending wars. It suggests the party could take cues from politicians like Bernie Sanders who want to revive New Deal policies and are popular due to speaking to ordinary people's legitimate economic grievances.
Ronald reagan an autopsy
Ronald Reagan was an actor who lacked the capacity for reasoned thought and could not distinguish reality from fantasy. As president, he followed scripts written by others and recited lines without understanding their meaning or implications. Despite rhetoric about reducing the size of government, Reagan significantly increased spending and taxes. His policies pursued statism while claiming to support liberty. Reagan's popularity was due to his optimism and ability to act separate from government, not because of meaningful accomplishments.

Herbert Hoover was highly qualified for the presidency but his rigid ideology prevented him from adequately addressing the Great Depression. As unemployment rose to 25%, Hoover believed the government should not provide assistance. This view became untenable as people struggled. Franklin Roosevelt then won a landslide election in 1932, giving him a mandate to enact his New Deal programs to tackle the crisis. The Dust Bowl ecological disaster greatly exacerbated the farmers' problems during this era.

Recession Awakening The Youth Vote In NH
This article discusses how the recession is awakening political interest among traditionally disengaged youth voters. It profiles several college students at the University of New Hampshire who are registering to vote for the first time, driven by concerns over lack of jobs and economic opportunity upon graduating. While these new voters have little political knowledge and can't name recent presidents, they feel compelled to vote to enact change due to their grim economic realities. A group called Rock the Vote is working to boost youth turnout through fun registration drives linked to music and entertainment. The long term impact of bringing a new bloc of young voters into the political process remains to be seen.

The document discusses factors that led the United States to transition from isolationism to internationalism and imperialism around 1900. Key factors included Frederick Jackson Turner's "frontier thesis" which argued the closing of the western frontier threatened the distinct American identity and vitality, increasing industrial output that outpaced the domestic market, and a desire to join other world powers as an imperial power with overseas colonies providing raw materials and captive markets. The U.S. sought to expand its economic and political influence through acquiring colonies, highlighted by its war with Spain over Cuba and acquisition of territories like the Philippines in the aftermath.

Et 11 ch. 9 new
This document discusses the spread of democracy in the early 19th century United States through the expansion of voting rights. It describes how more western states began allowing more white male citizens to vote with fewer property restrictions than eastern states. This was due to the egalitarian spirit of the frontier, where accomplishments and hard work mattered more than family names or wealth. As a result, more populist candidates like Andrew Jackson were elected president. The document also discusses the growth of public education during this period to provide equal opportunities for children of all social classes.

Mexicanos, ch. 5 the great migration, 1900-1930
This document provides background on the overthrow of Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz and the start of the Mexican Revolution.

Though initially dismissed as no threat by Diaz, Madero's message resonated with peasants and workers seeking land and better conditions. After Madero was jailed and fled to Texas, he issued a plan declaring himself president and calling for an uprising, which succeeded in overthrowing Diaz in 1911. However, Madero proved unprepared to govern and was assassinated in a coup led by Victoriano Huerta, plunging Mexico into years of conflict between revolutionary factions fighting for control.
Mexicanos, ch. 4 the american southwest, 1848 - 1900
This document summarizes the story of Estevan Ochoa, a Mexican immigrant who stood up for the Union during the Confederate occupation of Tucson, Arizona during the American Civil War. When the Confederates demanded Ochoa swear allegiance to them, he refused, stating his allegiance was to the United States government. As a result, he was expelled from the city by the Confederates. Despite the danger, Ochoa traveled alone through Apache territory to escape. After the Union retook Tucson, Ochoa returned and continued his successful business career, later becoming the first and only Mexican-American mayor of Tucson. He is recognized for his courage and contributions to the community.

2) In 1540, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado led a large Spanish expedition north based on stories of cities of gold. He explored parts of modern Arizona, New Mexico, and Kansas but found nothing of value. Around the same time, Hernando de Soto explored parts of what is now the southeastern US.
Ch. 1 racial foundations
This document discusses the history and cultural influences of indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica and what is now the Southwestern United States prior to and during the Spanish colonization. It notes that the Aztecs originated from a mythical place called Aztlan, likely located somewhere in what is now the American Southwest. It also discusses the Reconquista in Spain that established the modern nations of Spain and Portugal, and how this influenced the determination of Spanish conquistadors to defeat indigenous peoples in the Americas in pursuit of land and wealth.

- 1. Chapter 28 The 1970s: Halfway Out Of The 60s, Halfway Into The 80s Harvey Milk
- 2. The Energy Crisis: An Old War Report From the Front Lines, Filed by Your Fearless Leader Some of you may be old enough to remember this. I’m fifty-three as of this writing (2020), and remember all too well waiting in line for 2-3 hours each week to buy gas. All summer long. In the heat. With no air conditioning in my Mom’s little Opal GT with the fake leather seats, and me, a sweaty little monster slipping around on the seat with a stack of Marvel comics. It was surreal. I’d hang my feet out the window for a breath of breeze. You could only buy gas on odd- or even-numbered days of the week in relation to the last number or letter on your license plate, so: on an even- numbered day, like the 4th, you could buy gas if you had an even number or a letter of the alphabet that corresponded to ‘even,’ like ‘B’ or ‘D.’ It SUCKED. It BLEW. It was a SUPER-DRAG. It was AWFUL beyond your wildest imaginings and everyone had to deal with it.
- 4. The Environmental Protection Agency In the early 1970s the good folks pushing for the passage of the EPA bill had the idea of hiring photographers to create a photo-record to show the problems of the lack of federal environmental protection regulations. Following are some of those images. Long Island, New YorkIMAGE 7
- 5. Tacoma, WA
- 6. Glandon, WV
- 8. New York City – the smog at that time was as bad as it is in Beijing, China, today, where the people have been wearing face masks on a daily basis for many years.
- 10. If this sounds familiar in the year 2020, or over the last few years, it should, because the Trump administration, like the Bush and Reagan administrations before it, can’t slash enough environmental protections in the name of the almighty dollar, because for them, the only thing that matters is the next election, and they can’t be bothered to care about the impact of their decisions for more than about two decades down the road, and after all, why should they? They’ll be dead then, and the fate of the country, the world, is really not going to be much of an issue for them, now, will it -- ? Note that this cartoon is from 2014, and things have only gotten WORSE.
- 11. Terrific political cartoon by Charles Sullivan commenting on the struggle between the President and Congress over whether President Nixon would be compelled to turn over the tapes of his private conversations/meetings in the Oval Office. Nixon claimed they were his personal property under “executive privilege,” and Congress begged to differ, as did the Supreme Court, which ordered the President to comply, setting up the final act for the Nixon presidency…
- 12. Richard and Pat Nixon prepare to leave the White House by helicopter, thus ending the Nixon presidency, and closing a chapter on one of the country’s most remarkable and problematic political careers.
- 13. Nixon…good guy or bad guy, he’s a very tough case to judge. Yes, he broke laws and tried to cover up what men who worked under him in the Executive Branch did in his name (but without his knowledge), but…he also did a lot of good. We would (maybe) not have had the EPA, affirmative action, loopholes used by big oil closed up, an amendment to the Civil Rights Act to include women in the non-discrimination clause dealing with hiring practices, SALT I and II, PBS…I mean, c’mon – no SESAME STREET?! Maybe that’s enough to swing Tricky Dick into Heaven, right? ;^)
- 16. Betty Friedan stands at the front of a line of ERA supporters.
- 18. A commentary on the general Republican/conservative resistance to the ERA.
- 19. The status of the ERA by the time the movement ran out of steam in the late 1970s as the country’s mood was taking a decisive turn towards the conservative.
- 20. Even Charles Schultz, the creator of ‘Peanuts’, tapped into the feminist mood of the times…
