After the Civil War, settlers migrated westward hastened by the expansion of railroads. This period saw the widespread loss of lands and traditional way of life for many Native American tribes as farmers, ranchers, and miners moved onto the Great Plains, depriving them of hunting grounds and food sources. Hispanics already living in the Southwest also lost control of lands as Anglo-Americans established new farming and ranching operations. The economy of the West transitioned from mining and cattle ranching to commercial farming. Railroads played a key role in transporting cattle and settlers despite the hardships of settling the region.

After the Civil War, Americans began settling in the West in large numbers, pursuing opportunities in mining, ranching, and farming. Life for these settlers and for the Native Americans who already lived there was often difficult. The railroads played a key role in enabling and hastening migration West by transporting both settlers and cattle. During this period of western expansion and settlement, many Native American tribes lost their traditional homelands and ways of life.
Ch.16 the west ap
The document summarizes the settlement of the American West after the Civil War. Various groups inhabited the West, including Native Americans, Hispanics, Chinese immigrants, and settlers from the eastern U.S. who migrated westward. Native Americans increasingly lost their lands and way of life as settlers encroached on their territory. Significant events like the Homestead Act, cattle ranching, and construction of the transcontinental railroad drove further settlement of the West.
The Agricultural South Chapter 3, Section 2
The document provides context about life and society in the agricultural South from the 17th to 18th centuries. It describes the fertile soil and single cash crop economy based around tobacco and cotton plantations. It notes the rural nature of the South and importance of rivers for transportation. It discusses the roles of indentured servants and slavery in the Southern economy and society, and some ways slaves resisted and maintained aspects of their culture.
An industrializing west
The document discusses how industrialization transformed the American West in the late 19th century. It summarizes that (1) the railroad industry expanded rapidly through land grants and loans, connecting regions and markets. (2) Mining and ranching industries also grew substantially, attracting workers but often exploiting them with low pay and dangerous conditions. (3) Many homesteaders and farmers struggled due to the difficulty of farming in the West and were unable to maintain their claims over the required 5 years.
Day 1 group c
Geography played a primary role in shaping the development of the British colonies in North America in the 1600s. The colonies offered fertile land for farming to address overpopulation and poverty in England, as well as opportunities for adventure and migration to escape unemployment and dreary lives. Colonists were drawn to the colonies by the prospects of farming tobacco in Virginia, expanding the frontier, and getting away from overcrowded cities with many beggars in the streets.
Southern Plantations & Slavery
The document summarizes the impact of the cotton gin invention in 1793 and the rise of cotton plantations and slavery in the American South. It discusses how the cotton gin increased cotton production and led cotton to become the dominant crop. This caused Native American removal, the expansion of slavery, and the growth of large plantations dependent on slave labor to cultivate cotton. The summary also briefly outlines the harsh conditions slaves faced on plantations and examples of resistance like the failed Nat Turner rebellion of 1831.
Conquest of the Far West
Tribes of the Pacific Northwest were decimated by disease, with over 150,000 deaths. The Southwest had a mix of Mexican, Native American, and Spanish cultures, including Apache, Navajo, Pueblo, and Comanche tribes. On the plains, the most powerful tribe was the Sioux, with others including the Pawnee, Arapaho, and Cheyenne, who depended on buffalo. Chinese immigrants faced racism and discrimination as they arrived for work on the Transcontinental Railroad and in gold mines, and many lived in Chinatowns in urban areas. The closing of the frontier in 1890 marked the end of the period of American history defined by the movement and settlement of the frontier line.

18 3 farming and populism
The document discusses the settlement of the American West by farmers in the late 19th century. It summarizes how the Homestead Act encouraged thousands to settle the plains by granting free land. Settlers faced a difficult life breaking sod and dry farming for wheat with little water. Eventually, overfarming led to lower wheat prices and economic problems for farmers. They organized politically through groups like the Grange and Populist Party to address issues like deflation and blame on railroads over their difficulties.
Chapter 18: Americans Move West
The document provides an overview of how mining, ranching, and railroads transformed the American West in the late 1800s. It describes how the discovery of minerals like gold and silver led to mining booms and the growth of boomtowns. Meanwhile, the cattle industry expanded across the Great Plains, relying on cowboys to drive cattle to markets. To facilitate transportation, the first transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, connecting the eastern and western United States by rail. Western expansion put pressure on Plains Indian tribes, leading to conflicts as settlers encroached on their lands.

On the plains, the most powerful tribe was the Sioux, with others including the Pawnee, Arapaho, and Cheyenne, who depended on buffalo. After the Civil War, Mexicans/Mexican-Americans faced discrimination and loss of land, often working in migrant farming or unskilled labor. Chinese immigrants faced racism and struggled financially, working dangerous jobs building the transcontinental railroad. Their growing population led to the creation of Chinatowns but also increasing anti
Jamestown 1607
The Jamestown settlers initially struggled due to lack of preparation, searching for gold instead of focusing on growing food, and locating their settlement near an unhealthy swamp. This led to a "Starving Time" in 1609 where disease, starvation, and attacks reduced the population to 60 people. In 1610, John Rolfe arrived with tobacco to plant, which became a profitable cash crop. This successful agricultural focus allowed Jamestown to thrive and establish representative government as the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1619, marking the colony's survival.
Jamestown 1607
The first group of 144 settlers arrived at Jamestown in 1607 searching for gold but came unprepared for survival. Many did not work to farm or hunt for food, leading to conflicts with Native Americans and a severe food shortage known as the Starving Time where most died, leaving only 60 survivors. In 1609, John Rolfe arrived with tobacco, which became a profitable cash crop, helping the colony survive. Settlers began establishing representative government and more people immigrated to farm tobacco, bringing indentured servants, women, and slaves, turning Jamestown's mistakes into success.
History of Jamestown
The Jamestown settlement was established in 1607 by the Virginia Company as the first permanent English colony in North America. The original 104 colonists struggled greatly, with over 60% dying in the first winter from famine, disease, and conflicts with local Native Americans. John Smith emerged as a leader and instituted policies that helped the colony survive. Tobacco was introduced as a cash crop in 1611 and greatly boosted the colony's prosperity. The Virginia Company's charter was revoked in 1624 after criticism of its mismanagement led to many colonist deaths. However, the colony survived and became economically viable due to the lucrative tobacco trade.
The old west
The document summarizes key aspects of life in the American Old West from the late 1800s.

It outlines the tensions between these groups and the government over land and resources. It provides details on the decimation of the bison, broken treaties with Native Americans, and the eventual defeat of native resistance. The lives of ranchers, miners, farmers, and the roles of railroads and ethnic minority workers are also summarized.
20.3 the atlantic slave trade (1st period)
The Atlantic slave trade involved the transport of over 9.5 million Africans to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries. It began as a small enterprise in the 1500s but grew massively, with nearly 1.3 million Africans sold as slaves in the 1600s alone. The triangular trade route saw Europeans exchange goods for slaves from African leaders, who then transported the slaves across the Atlantic to be sold to Americans and forced to work plantations. The Middle Passage of this route saw horrific conditions that caused many slave deaths. African slaves faced immense cruelty and hardship through forced labor on American plantations. Some resisted through slow work or rebellion, but the slave trade profoundly impacted societies in Africa, Europe, and the
8 settling the west
The document summarizes the key developments in mining and settlement in the American West between 1850-1900. It describes how the discovery of gold and silver in places like Virginia City led to boomtowns. Technological advances like barbed wire, steel plows and windmills helped enable large-scale farming on the plains. The Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged western expansion by offering settlers land. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 further transformed the region. However, this influx of settlers and depletion of buffalo herds by hunters caused conflicts with Native Americans over land, leading to events like the Battle of Little Bighorn and Wounded Knee Massacre.
Ch 8 settling the west
The document summarizes the settlement and development of the American West from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. It describes how the Gold Rush spurred rapid growth of mining towns, the introduction of barbed wire and mechanized farming equipment that transformed agriculture, and the passage of the Homestead Act that encouraged western migration. It also discusses the building of the transcontinental railroad, U.S. policy towards Native Americans including battles over land and the destruction of the buffalo, and the subjugation of tribes to reservations.

By 1890, the frontier was declared closed as the census announced its end.
Unit 4, Lesson 6: Slavery
Slavery began in the American colonies in the early 1500s as the Portuguese began bringing African slaves to the Americas. By 1700, slavery had grown significantly in the southern colonies, where the agricultural economy relied heavily on slave labor. To maintain control over the growing slave population, colonial governments passed slave codes that severely restricted slaves' rights and movement. Throughout this period, slaves resisted their condition through acts like slow work, escape attempts, and occasional rebellions like the large Stono Rebellion in South Carolina in 1739. By the end of the American Civil War in 1865, slavery was abolished across the United States.
Development of west
The document discusses three key factors that opened up the American West to migration in the late 19th century: the end of the Indian Wars in 1885, which eliminated a threat to settlers' safety; the invention of barbed wire in 1874, which allowed for fencing of open land and the end of cattle drives; and the expansion of the railroad network throughout the West in the late 1860s and 1870s, which made traveling and transporting goods much easier. These factors helped spark a mass migration to the West and rapid population growth in states like California in the late 1800s.

Cattle Industry
The document discusses the development of the cattle industry on the Great Plains in the late 19th century. It was driven by several key factors: the end of the Civil War increased demand for beef in the East, while the Plains Indians wars and reservations opened new markets for cattle suppliers. The building of the Transcontinental Railroad allowed cattle to be transported profitably from Texas to eastern cities, fueling the establishment of cow towns at railheads. Enterprising cattle barons like Goodnight and Loving helped establish the first cattle drives and trails, marking the rise of open range ranching and the need for cowboys to herd the cattle.
Westward expansion
This document discusses the settlement of the American West in the late 19th century. It covers three main topics: the growth of the cattle industry following the Civil War, fueled by demand from cities and the expansion of railroads; the movement of farmers and homesteaders onto the Great Plains, encouraged by policies like the Homestead Act and railroad construction; and the emergence of the Populist movement among farmers in response to economic hardships and difficult conditions.
Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade
The document summarizes the effects of the Atlantic slave trade on Africa and the Americas. In Africa, the slave trade disrupted demographic patterns and family structures by targeting men. It undermined the economy by introducing European goods used to trade for slaves. It also increased wars and tensions as slaves became a commodity. In the Americas, the slave trade led to demographic changes and the integration of African culture. It also boosted the economy but left a legacy of racial and economic inequality. The Atlantic slave trade differed from other historical slavery in its immense scale, hereditary nature without chance of freedom, targeting of Africans, and rationalization by Europeans.
Dust bowl 4
The document discusses the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. It describes how a decade-long drought combined with poor farming practices, including overgrazing and plowing of too much land, left the topsoil vulnerable to being blown away by high winds. This led to massive dust storms that caused millions of tons of topsoil to blow eastward, devastating crops and forcing many farmers to abandon their homes and migrate west in search of work. The human and environmental impacts of the Dust Bowl were severe and long-lasting.

This document discusses the changing labor landscape in the late 19th century United States. It provides information on child labor, labor unions like the Knights of Labor and American Federation of Labor, and notable labor disputes such as the Haymarket Riot, the Homestead Steel Strike, and the Pullman Strike of 1894. Key events and figures in the labor movement are summarized, along with the goals of different unions and tactics used by both management and labor groups in disputes over working conditions and pay.
Chapter 15 1920's
The 1920s was a decade of social and cultural change in the United States. Tensions arose between traditional and modern values as the nation grappled with issues like immigration, prohibition, religious fundamentalism, and racial unrest. At the same time, the economy and popular culture thrived with new innovations in art, literature, music, technology, and entertainment. The decade saw both conflict and prosperity as American society shifted in new directions.
The rise of industry
The United States became the largest industrial country in the world by 1900 due to several key factors: 1) Cheap labor from 20 million immigrants who came for jobs and to escape military service or religious persecution; 2) Plenty of natural resources like water, timber, coal, iron and copper; 3) The expansion of railroads which linked markets and stimulated spending on infrastructure; and 4) A laissez-faire government that imposed no regulations and kept taxes low, fueling industrial growth. Inventions like the telephone and light bulb also increased productivity.

Antebellum culture and reform
The document discusses cultural and social reforms that occurred during the Antebellum period in America. Specifically, it mentions the rise of Romanticism which emphasized imagination, emotion, and nature over reason. This led to the Hudson River School of landscape painting. Literature of the time also reflected these Romantic and Transcendentalist ideals with writers like Cooper, Melville, Whitman, Poe, Thoreau, and Emerson. Several utopian communities formed to enact social reforms but often failed, with some exceptions like the Mormons. Overall, the reforms mainly took hold in the North and West, while the South resisted what they saw as threats to their society.
Chapter 17 gd
Herbert Hoover was elected president in 1928 on a platform of prosperity, but the stock market crashed in 1929, plunging the US into the Great Depression. Overproduction, declining exports, high tariffs, and mistakes by the Federal Reserve all contributed to economic collapse. By 1933, 1 in 4 Americans were unemployed, and breadlines and shantytowns appeared across the country. Dust storms devastated farms during the Dust Bowl, forcing many families to migrate west in search of work. President Hoover did little to help Americans suffering from the Depression.
Chapter 19 sec3 halocaust
The Holocaust refers to the Nazi campaign during World War II to exterminate the Jewish population in Europe, nearly 6 million Jews were killed along with others deemed inferior. Once in power in Germany, the Nazis swiftly implemented anti-Semitic policies outlined by Hitler including the Nuremberg Laws which stripped Jews of their rights and freedoms. Pogroms like Kristallnacht targeted Jewish communities and synagogues, forcing many Jews to flee but few countries would accept the Jewish refugees escaping Nazi persecution. The Nazis would ultimately implement the "Final Solution" using concentration and extermination camps to systematically murder millions of Jews and others in a genocide.
Settling the west
After the Civil War, settlers moved West seeking opportunities in mining, farming, and ranching, though life was difficult and the landscape harsh. Railroads accelerated westward migration and the transport of cattle during this period. As settlers increasingly moved onto lands inhabited by Native Americans, many tribes lost their homelands and way of life, culminating in broken treaties, forced relocations to reservations, and ultimately armed conflicts such as the Battle of Little Bighorn and Wounded Knee Massacre.
Chapter 19 sec 4
After England and France declared war on Germany, President Roosevelt declared the US neutral but determined to help the Allied countries. He revised neutrality laws to allow the US to sell weapons to Allied countries. FDR was re-elected in 1940 on a platform of continued support for Britain. The Lend-Lease Act allowed the US to send weapons to Britain. Japan grew angry over US embargoes and froze Japanese assets in response to threats in the Pacific. Japan then attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, bringing the US into World War II.

Westward expansion p pt
This document discusses the concept of Manifest Destiny and its role in justifying Westward expansion in the United States during the 19th century. It provides context on John L. O'Sullivan, who coined the term Manifest Destiny, and examines some of the basic assumptions behind the concept, including that Americans were building a new civilization, democracy was superior to European monarchy, and expansion was divinely ordained. The document also summarizes factors driving Westward expansion such as acquiring new land and resources, and Frederick Jackson Turner's frontier thesis about the influence of the frontier on American society and values. Critics who argue the frontier thesis ignored Native Americans and did not apply to all groups are also mentioned.
American Studies - The Frontier Heritage
A presentation regarding a topic on the frontier experience of the late Americans. Includes the impact of the American frontier, self-reliance and rugged individualists, American macho heroes, inventiveness and the "can-do" spirit, and equality of opportunity.
Reasons for Expansion
By 1890, most of the land between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in the US had been settled, raising questions about what would come next. The driving forces behind Westward expansion included Manifest Destiny, which promoted US control of North America; trade and access to new markets and resources; the spread of Christianity; Social Darwinism and the survival of the fittest nations; and national defense through controlling more territory.

The document provides details about the settling of the American West in the late 19th century, including the gold rush in Nevada, cattle ranching and drives, farming on the Great Plains, and conflicts with Native Americans. It describes how the discovery of gold and silver in Nevada led to a boomtown of 30,000 people in Virginia City almost overnight in 1859. Cattle drives along trails like the Chisholm Trail brought over 1.5 million head of cattle from Texas to Kansas between 1867 and 1871. Farming on the Great Plains was challenging due to lack of water and trees and threats of fires and grasshoppers but new technologies like barbed wire and steam-powered farming equipment enabled settlement.

Miners and ranchers helped build the American West in the late 19th century. Miners flocked west during the Gold Rush, founding boomtowns when gold and silver deposits were discovered. The Comstock Lode silver deposit in Nevada transformed San Francisco and sparked a rush of over 30,000 people to Virginia City. Ranchers drove cattle on long trails from Texas to markets in Kansas, establishing the iconic cowboy culture and cattle towns along trails like the Chisholm Trail. However, the open range era ended when barbed wire was invented, allowing farmers to fence off their land.
Americans move west
As more settlers moved West, three key developments transformed the landscape:
1. A mining boom brought growth to western towns, though mining was dangerous work.
2. The cattle industry created a short-lived "Cattle Kingdom" on the Great Plains, driven by demand for beef, before competition and new technologies ended it.
3. The transcontinental railroad connected East and West, spurring further population growth and economic development in the West.
Ch. 13 notes section1
The culture of the Plains Indians declined as white settlers transformed the Great Plains, pushing the Indians off their lands.

As settlers moved west and claimed more land, conflicts increased between Native Americans and settlers who wanted to own the land.
LOAPUSH 14
This document provides an overview of westward expansion and immigration in the United States between 1790-1860. It discusses the movement of settlers beyond the Appalachians to the Ohio River Valley and beyond, noting the hardships of frontier life. It also examines the impacts on the environment through trapping and the near-extinction of beavers and buffalo. Large numbers of Irish and German immigrants arrived during this period, with over 1 million each from Ireland and Germany between 1830-1860. The Irish faced discrimination and settled in large cities, gaining political control. Germans were more rural and influenced American culture and opposed slavery. Their influx led to nativist and anti-Catholic movements like the Know-Nothing Party
Native peoples of america

The Vietnam War lasted from 1956 to 1975 and involved North Vietnam and the Viet Cong fighting against South Vietnam and the United States. It began as an anti-colonial rebellion against French control of Vietnam and escalated into a proxy war between the U.S. and Soviet Union amid the Cold War. Despite massive U.S. military involvement and bombing campaigns, the Vietnam War ended with a Communist victory in 1975 after the fall of Saigon. The war was highly controversial in the U.S. and had lasting domestic political and cultural impacts.
Ap kennedy
John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960 in one of the closest races in American history. As president, Kennedy established the Peace Corps to provide humanitarian aid around the world. He committed the US to landing on the moon to win the space race against the Soviet Union. However, the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba was a failure that made the US look weak. Kennedy faced further challenges with the Berlin Wall and Cuban Missile Crisis, before his presidency was tragically cut short by his assassination in 1963.
Ap wwii (2)
The Japanese attacked the Philippines hours after bombing Pearl Harbor. US forces under Douglas MacArthur retreated to Bataan Peninsula but later surrendered, leading to the brutal Bataan Death March. In response to these defeats, the US launched Doolittle's Raid on Tokyo and won a major victory at the Battle of Midway in 1942, marking a turning point in the war against Japan in the Pacific. Meanwhile, the Soviets defeated the Germans at Stalingrad, another major turning point. The Allies also had success in North Africa. These victories put Germany and Japan on the defensive for the remainder of the war.
Isolationists
The document discusses America's foreign policy in the early 20th century as it moved between isolationism and internationalism. While often characterized as isolationist in the 1920s, the US was actively involved through conferences, agreements, and loans abroad. FDR believed the US could not remain isolated as Germany and fascism rose. Though neutral at first, FDR took steps like Lend-Lease to aid Britain and passed embargoes against Japan. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor led the US to enter World War II.
Chapter 20 sec
The US mobilized for WWII on an unprecedented scale, transforming the economy and society. The government took on expanded roles, controlling wages, prices and production to support the war effort. Unemployment dropped from 14% to 2% as millions of Americans, including many women and minorities, went to work in newly-expanded industries producing vast quantities of military equipment. Over 40 million men were drafted, though the military remained segregated and discrimination persisted at home, including the internment of Japanese Americans. Despite shortages, most Americans embraced sacrifices to support the war through rationing, scrap drives, and buying war bonds.

The Holocaust refers to the Nazi campaign during World War II to exterminate Jews and others deemed inferior. Once in power, the Nazis swiftly implemented racist policies outlined by Hitler, persecuting not only Jews but also the disabled, Roma people, Slavs, homosexuals, and political opponents. Jews were segregated into ghettos and deprived of rights through laws like the Nuremberg Laws. Pogroms like Kristallnacht in 1938 killed many Jews and destroyed Jewish homes and businesses. As persecution increased, some Jews fled but many were unable to escape Nazi-controlled Europe as countries like the United States limited immigration. This ultimately led to the "Final Solution" and establishment of concentration camps for slave labor and
Ch 19 w wii reg redo
The document summarizes the rise of fascist and totalitarian regimes in Europe and Asia in the aftermath of WWI. It describes how leaders like Mussolini in Italy, Stalin in Russia, and Hitler in Germany rose to power amid economic struggles and unrest over territorial losses from WWI.

When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany, marking the start of World War II.
Chapter 20 sec
The United States mobilized for war by dramatically increasing industrial production. American workers were highly productive, manufacturing over 600,000 Jeeps, 88,000 tanks, and 7,000 ships during the war. The government intervened in the economy by controlling wages, rents, prices and production quotas. Over 40 million men were drafted into the military. The war effort increased opportunities for women and minorities, though racism still persisted as seen in the internment of Japanese Americans. Overall, the massive mobilization transformed the economy and society, helping to end the Great Depression while fueling the early Civil Rights movement.
Ap the great depression
Herbert Hoover was elected president in 1928 on a platform of prosperity, but the stock market crashed in 1929, plunging the US into the Great Depression. Overproduction, declining exports, income inequality, and mistakes by the Federal Reserve exacerbated the economic downturn. By 1933, unemployment had reached 25% as banks failed, businesses closed, and millions lost their homes and farms. Shantytowns appeared as people struggled to survive with breadlines and soup kitchens. Dust storms destroyed the livelihoods of farmers on the Great Plains, forcing many to migrate to California in search of work. President Hoover did not use the federal government to help citizens, damaging his reputation.
Ap new deal
The New Deal was Franklin D. Roosevelt's response to the Great Depression that devastated the United States economy in the 1930s. FDR promised a "New Deal" and was elected president in 1932. The New Deal had three main goals: relief for the unemployed and poor, economic recovery, and reforms to prevent future depressions. FDR and his "Brain Trust" of advisers implemented numerous programs to pursue these goals, including the CCC, TVA, SEC, Social Security, and others. The New Deal dramatically expanded the role of the federal government in managing the economy and providing social services.
Ap chapter 24 the new era1
The document provides an overview of social, economic, and political changes in the United States during the 1920s. It was an era of rapid change as traditional rural values clashed with new urban lifestyles. The economy experienced rapid growth and prosperity led by new industries like automobiles and consumerism. However, there was also conflict as some Americans feared the loss of traditional values and groups like immigrants, African Americans, and women seeking greater freedoms. The period saw both social liberalism embodied by flappers and a rise in religious fundamentalism defending traditional values.
Chapter 14 sec 3
This document provides an overview of trench warfare during World War 1 on the Western Front. It describes how both sides dug extensive trench systems that stretched across Europe and engaged in brutal direct assaults across no man's land that resulted in massive casualties. New weapons like machine guns, tanks, chemical weapons, airplanes, and flamethrowers contributed to stalemate and carnage. The document outlines some of the key battles and events of the war, including America's entry and role in turning the tide, and the eventual German surrender in 1918.
Ap treaty of versailles (2)
The document summarizes President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points plan for peace after World War I and the negotiations at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. It outlines Wilson's vision for a League of Nations to prevent future wars, but notes that other Allied powers wanted to impose a harsher treaty on Germany. Though Wilson campaigned vigorously for the Treaty and League, the U.S. Senate rejected both due to opposition from Republicans like Henry Cabot Lodge and Americans' desire to avoid foreign entanglements, leading to a harsh treaty that sowed resentment in Germany.
America and the great war
America entered World War I in 1917 after a series of events eroded its neutrality. While Woodrow Wilson initially kept the US neutral, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, which resulted in the sinking of American ships like the Lusitania, outraged the American public. Germany's interception of the Zimmerman Telegram, in which it offered Mexico territory in exchange for allying with Germany against the US, further turned American opinion against Germany. Wilson ultimately requested a declaration of war from Congress in 1917 after Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare.
Ap chapter 22
Theodore Roosevelt served as President from 1901-1909 and pursued an ambitious agenda of reform and regulation known as the "Square Deal." Some key aspects of his domestic policy included trust-busting like dissolving J.P. Morgan's Northern Securities Company, mediating labor disputes, and passing food and drug regulations. Roosevelt also championed conservation efforts and established 150 national forests. In foreign policy, he sent the Great White Fleet around the world and intervened in Latin America to promote political stability, including encouraging Panama's independence from Colombia to build the Panama Canal.
ap progressive era autosaved
The Progressive Era saw widespread reforms between 1890-1920 in response to economic and social problems resulting from rapid industrialization and urbanization. Reformers addressed issues like political corruption, poverty, child labor, and unsafe working conditions through muckraking journalism that investigated these issues, the settlement house movement that provided social services to the poor, and advocacy of women's suffrage and prohibition. While they differed on solutions, Progressives broadly sought to regulate large businesses and make government more responsive to public needs through initiatives like the direct election of Senators.
Ap ch 20
The US became interested in expanding overseas in the late 1800s due to increasing industrialization and new ideas about Anglo-Saxon dominance. While the US had previously followed an isolationist foreign policy, it now sought new international markets and felt pressure to join European imperialism in Africa and Asia. This expansionism was also driven by a sense of national destiny and the belief that America had a duty to civilize other peoples. The US annexed Hawaii in 1898 and went to war with Spain over Cuba the same year, acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines as a result. However, governing the Philippines led to a debate over whether America should become an imperial power in conflict with its republican ideals.
Ap chapter 19 the agrarian revolt
The Agrarian Revolt summarizes the emergence of the Populist movement in response to farmers' growing frustrations over economic issues like tariffs, trusts and railroad monopolies. Farmers formed organizations like the Grange at the local and state levels to advocate for their interests, but eventually the Farmers' Alliance and Populist Party developed to take the fight national. The Populists gained some political victories but ultimately declined after William McKinley defeated William Jennings Bryan in the 1896 presidential election, ensuring America's commitment to the gold standard.
Chapter 18 the new deal (3)
Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, promising a "New Deal" to address the Great Depression. During his first hundred days in office, FDR pushed numerous relief programs through Congress like the CCC and WPA to create jobs and the FDIC to insure bank deposits. The New Deal expanded the role of the federal government and was made up of relief, recovery, and reform programs, though some like the AAA were ruled unconstitutional. FDR's fireside chats helped restore public confidence. The New Deal dramatically increased the power of the federal government.
Chapter 18 the new deal (3)
Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, promising a "New Deal" to address the Great Depression. His New Deal policies aimed to provide relief through immediate aid programs, promote recovery of the economy, and reform the financial system. FDR pushed many programs through Congress in his first 100 days, including the CCC to employ young men in conservation projects, the PWA to fund public works projects, and the AAA to support farmers. The New Deal expanded the role of the federal government and established programs and agencies like the SEC, FDIC, and Social Security.
