Grover Cleveland served as the 22nd US President from 1885-1889 as a Democrat. His presidency was marked by a scandal over an alleged extramarital affair and accusations against his opponent James Blaine. Cleveland believed that the federal government should not provide direct relief to citizens and should limit its role, taking a "Bourbon Democrat" stance of smaller government. Key events during his presidency included the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, Geronimo's surrender, and the establishment of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

WWI women
The war created new opportunities for women's employment outside the home as traditional male jobs became available due to labor shortages from conscription. While women faced resistance initially, by 1915 thousands worked in munitions factories and other industries. After the war, women were expected to return to traditional roles but had gained some independence, and their participation in the workforce helped pave the way for women's suffrage and rights in the early 20th century.
Populism take 2
The document summarizes the Populist movement of the late 19th century in the United States. Farmers faced economic hardship due to overproduction of crops, mechanization leading to more debt, crop disasters, and monopolistic practices by corporations. The Populist movement aimed to help struggling farmers through organizations like the Grange and political efforts including the Populist Party which advocated for bimetallism and "Free Silver" to increase the money supply. The movement declined after William Jennings Bryan's failed 1896 presidential run advocating for Free Silver.
Women in ww1
During World War 1, over 2 million women in Britain replaced men in the workforce as soldiers left for the front lines, occupying 35% of the workforce between Britain and France. Women took on new roles in factories, agriculture, construction, transport, and hospitals as well as industries like engineering, building ships and munitions. While doing jobs formerly held by men, women were not paid equal wages. However, their increased responsibility and independence in the workforce inspired women's suffrage movements and growing demands for equal rights and the right to vote.
The impact of the war on women
Before the war, the most common
employment for a woman was as a
domestic servant. However, women
were also employed in what were
seen to be suitable occupations e.g.
teaching, nursing, office work.

This summary provides the key details from the document in 3 sentences:
The document discusses a monologue performance called "They Call Me Q" by Qurrat Ann Kadwani, which tells her immigrant story growing up tough in the Bronx and dealing with racism, delivering the tale through humor and impersonations. Kadwani spoofs the nicknames like "Carrot" and "Q-Rat" bestowed on her by classmates as well as portraying other characters who helped shape her identity. The performance suggests that despite facing challenges as an immigrant, Kadwani was able to develop a richer sense of self and knowledge of others.
Antebellum South Slide S Hare
The document discusses characteristics of the antebellum South including its primarily agrarian economy focused on cotton production using slave labor. It notes the South's inadequate transportation and financial systems compared to the industrializing North. Socially, it describes the slaveholding plantation owners and non-slaveholding white farmers, with slaves making up around 40% of the southern population and living under harsh laws and codes. The document also examines forms of slave resistance like sabotage and escape attempts.
Declaring independence
The document summarizes key events and influences leading up to the American Declaration of Independence. It describes early protests like the Boston Tea Party and Boston Massacre that demonstrated colonial opposition to British rule. Philosophical influences including the ideas of Locke, Paine, and Voltaire shaped the Founding Fathers' belief in principles like all men being created equal and freedom from tyrannical government. Key figures like Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and Benjamin Franklin were instrumental in the drafting of the Declaration and calling for independence. The Declaration set forth the basis for independence and protests spread worldwide advocating for similar democratic values.

Events leading up to the civil war
The document summarizes key events that led to the outbreak of the Civil War in the United States. Territorial expansion exacerbated tensions over whether slavery would be allowed in new western lands. While compromise was attempted, the issues of slavery and states' rights increasingly divided the nation along regional lines. As debate and violence rose, it became clear the country could not remain half slave and half free, and the conflict would ultimately be resolved through war.
Events leading up to the civil war
The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Civil War. As the nation's borders expanded after the 1840s, Americans had to decide whether slavery would be allowed in the new western territories. Initially, compromise seemed possible, but as debate and violence increased, it became clear the nation could not remain half slave and half free. Territorial acquisitions, the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Second Great Awakening, and the Compromise of 1850 all failed to resolve the issue of slavery in the new lands. Abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown intensified their campaigns. The Dred Scott decision and the Kansas-Nebraska Act further inflamed tensions. Ultimately, the issue
lecture 15 outbreak of war
This document contains lecture notes on the outbreak of the American Civil War. It discusses key events and factors that led to war, including the 1860 presidential election, southern secession, and failed compromise efforts like the Crittenden Compromise. It then outlines the initial mobilization for war, including the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter, northern and southern states choosing sides, and foreign diplomacy efforts during this period. The document provides an overview of the major political and military developments surrounding the start of the Civil War.
Women in World War II
During World War 2, women took on many jobs traditionally done by men such as factory work making bombs, serving as nurses, mechanics, farmers, and engineers. Over 3.5 million children were evacuated from cities and many women helped care for the evacuated children. Women also joined the Women's Land Army and Voluntary Service to help with farming and provide support to firefighters during bombings, though the work was difficult and conditions were poor. After the war, most women lost the jobs they had taken and returned to traditional roles.
Women during World War 1
Women faced significant inequality in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as they had no right to vote, own property if married, or work in many professions. The women's suffrage movement began to advocate for women's rights. During World War I, women took on more jobs as men went off to war, doing work like driving trucks and ambulances. This expanded women's roles and helped their cause. However, after the war ended, pre-war attitudes largely returned and women's employment levels decreased again as they were expected to return to domestic roles in the home.

Sectionalism Two Ways Of Life V2
This document summarizes the key differences between Northern and Southern society in the period leading up to the Civil War. The North was increasingly urbanized and industrialized, while the South remained primarily rural and based its economy on slave labor and cotton exports. Slavery was central to the Southern way of life both economically and socially, with planters owning many slaves dominating politics. Abolitionism threatened the Southern social order, leading the South to defend the institution of slavery. Geographic and economic differences exacerbated sectional tensions between the North and South that ultimately led to the Civil War.
Growth Of Labor
This document discusses labor unrest and the rise of organized labor movements in the United States from 1870-1912. It covers the growth of child labor, labor organizing efforts like the Knights of Labor and American Federation of Labor, major strikes such as the Pullman Strike of 1894 and the Lawrence Textile Strike of 1912, and the rise of socialist groups advocating for workers' rights like the Industrial Workers of the World. Key events and figures related to the development of the American labor movement are presented.

1. The document discusses the Populist movement of the late 1800s, which aimed to help struggling American farmers.
2. Farmers faced economic hardship due to overproduction of crops, mechanization increasing debts, and control of markets by corporate trusts.
3. The Populist movement advocated for bimetallism (using both gold and silver coins) to expand the money supply and inflate prices, benefiting debtors like farmers. However, this was opposed by conservatives and big banks who favored deflation.
Beat! Beat! Drums!
Beat! Beat! Drums! is a poem by Walt Whitman describing the sounds of drums and bugles interrupting everyday life. In three short sentences, the poem summarizes:
The drums and bugles disrupt churches, schools, and farms, scattering congregations and disturbing scholars and farmers. Their sounds also interrupt cities, preventing sleep and stopping business deals and legal proceedings. The drums and bugles blow fiercely, wildly, and loudly, ignoring any pleas or prayers to stop.
Industrialism
During the Industrial Era from 1877-1882, known as the Gilded Age, industrialists like Carnegie and Rockefeller amassed great wealth through industries like steel and oil. Labor unrest grew as workers faced difficult conditions and low pay without protections. Both farmers and workers organized movements and unions to advocate for economic reforms and government regulation of large businesses. As more Americans moved to cities, urban poverty and slums grew due to lack of policies around housing, healthcare, and workers' rights. Women and African Americans faced continued discrimination and worked to gain more rights and opportunities through new organizations.

Week three, crisis of 1890s
The document summarizes the economic and political crisis of the 1890s in the United States, known as the Populist era. It describes how falling crop and commodity prices led to a farm crisis and the rise of the Populist movement among farmers seeking relief. The Populists advocated for policies like nationalizing railroads and expanding the currency to reduce interest rates. While the Populist movement gained some successes in uniting farmers and workers, it ultimately declined as racial divisions increased and the movement merged with the Democratic party ahead of the 1896 election.

He worked under General Lafayette as a spy, relaying intelligence about British troop movements and plans, which helped the Americans defeat the British at Yorktown in 1781. After the war, he was promised and granted freedom for his service.
The changing role of women
Women's roles have changed significantly over the past century. Prior to 1900, most women were housewives, but World War I necessitated women taking jobs in factories while the men were away. This contributed to the growing women's suffrage movement, and after World War I many countries granted women the right to vote. Although some women gained employment in new fields like medicine and journalism in the 1920s, most returned to being housewives after World War II in western nations, while communist countries encouraged women's employment and expanded their rights.
Adams Presidency

French Revolution and Napoleon
The French Revolution began in 1789 due to longstanding inequalities between social classes and the abuse of power by King Louis XVI. Inequality among the three estates and Enlightenment ideas led the Third Estate to form the National Assembly and storm the Bastille prison, marking the start of the revolution. The monarchy was overthrown and a republic established, but radical Jacobins seized power and instituted a Reign of Terror from 1793-94 using the guillotine to execute those seen as enemies of the revolution. By 1794 moderate leaders had ended the Terror and executions.

Women played an important role in the French Revolution through their participation in protests and uprisings. Some women even fought as soldiers during the Revolution while disguising their sex. Leading feminists like Mary Wollstonecraft, Olympe de Gouges, and Etta Palm advocated for greater rights for women, including equal education, employment opportunities, property rights, and suffrage. They argued women should be treated as equal citizens. However, the rights of women did not significantly advance during the Revolution.

Women played an important role in the French Revolution through their participation in protests and uprisings. Some women even disguised themselves as men to fight as soldiers. However, traditional views of women's roles remained influential. While some feminists advocated for greater rights and equality for women, the National Assembly and figures like Jean-Baptiste-André Amar argued women were not suited for political participation or public life due to their nature. The Revolution thus had mixed results for advancing women's rights and status in society.

The suffragettes
Victorian women had few rights and were expected to be submissive to their husbands. As the 19th century progressed, women were granted some new rights but not the right to vote. In 1866, the first petition to Parliament asking for women's suffrage was ignored. Peaceful suffrage societies formed but made no progress. The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) led by Emmeline Pankhurst used more militant tactics like window smashing and arson to force the issue, dividing public opinion. After force-feeding of imprisoned suffragettes caused outrage, some support grew. Women who helped with wartime efforts gained recognition. In 1918, some women over 30 gained the right to vote.

The suffrage movement worked to gain women the right to vote, led by groups like NAWSA. New laws like the Meat Inspection Act and Pure Food and Drug Act aimed to regulate industries and protect consumers in response to exposés like The Jungle.
