Immigrants in 
America 
Millions of immigrants moved to the 
United States in the late 1800’s & early 
1900’s.

New Colossus, 1883 
Employers in the West and Southwest had never found it necessary or 
desirable to recruit laborers as immigrants. Instead, they relied upon alien 
workers from Asian countries, who were made ineligible for citizenship under 
U.S. naturalization laws, and, increasingly, upon sojourner migrants from 
Mexico, whose muscle was wanted but who were not welcome as members of 
American society. Prejudice against Asians was so strong that in 1882 
Congress passed the first of Chinese Exclusion Acts preventing the importation 
of Chinese laborers. However, the system of sojourner Mexican workers, some 
of whom came lawfully and others illegally, was permitted to continue. During 
World War I, this was formalized in the first of a series of temporary-worker 
programs through which workers were imported to do hard agricultural labor 
with the understanding that they would be sent back to Mexico when the work 
was finished. 
Immigrants, on the other hand, were encouraged to participate in American 
institutions. By 1917 (when a literacy test for immigrants was enacted), though, 
most Americans were convinced that there were too many immigrants.

Immigration Stations 
 Once immigrants arrived in the U.S., they went 
through immigration stations, such as Ellis Island 
in New York Harbor and Angel Island in San 
Francisco, California. Government workers 
questioned them about where they planned to 
work & live. Doctors also examined them to 
make sure they didn’t have any diseases. Almost 
all European immigrants were allowed to enter 
the U.S.
New immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. At Ellis they will 
be "processed" before they are allowed to continue their 
journey to find a new home.
Laws Against Immigration 
 1882 Congress passed Chinese Exclusion Act 
 Almost all Chinese immigrants were kept out of 
America 
 1921 & 1924 Congress passed laws that lowered 
the number of Europeans & Asians 
 All immigrants faced prejudice upon arrival
Immigrants helped the U.S. become one of 
the richest and fastest-growing countries in 
the world. They built railroads, dug mines, 
and worked in factories.
We’re Spreading Out 
Despite widespread public recognition of worsening urban housing problems and 
frequent calls for reform, only after the War between the States were government 
efforts undertaken to improve housing conditions. In 1867, the New York state 
legislature enacted the first tenement-housing legislation, which regulated the 
construction of railroad flats by establishing minimum construction standards. The 
continued influx of immigrants, however, resulted in the proliferation of 
overcrowded tenements and deplorable health conditions. Attempts to improve 
housing were spurred by the writings of such reformers as Jacob Riis and 
Lawrence Veiller in the 1890’s, as well as by the first federal report on housing 
conditions, issued in 1894. Nevertheless, it was not until 1901 that a law permitting 
enforcement of housing standards was enacted. The landmark New York City 
“New Law” required building permits and inspections, prescribed penalties for 
noncompliance, and created a permanent city housing department. Subsequently, 
the New Law was copied in other U.S. cities and provided an impetus for housing 
legislation at the state level in the early 1900’s. By 1930, many state and local 
governments also had adopted Night School Mulberry in city the Bend, Seventh planning, New Avenue York

Socialism: The Crisis of 1848 and 
Aftermath 
Despite all the socialist enthusiasm in Europe during the 19th century, no nation adopted the 
political/economic system. Socialist parties were in the minority but were regarded as a 
serious threat by both government and capitalists. The year 1848 was a critical point in 
socialist history. A series of revolts broke out against European monarchies, beginning in 
Sicily and spreading to France, Germany, and the Austrian Empire. The revolts failed, and 
all liberals and socialists were disillusioned by this failure. From 1848, socialism made no 
great gains until the Russian Revolution. 
Socialism itself persisted in a variety of national political parties. In the early years of the 
20th century, socialism became a powerful parliamentary force throughout Europe, and it 
was this force that would eventually undermine revolutionary socialism everywhere. 
Governments—seeing the threat proposed by socialists, Communists, and anarchists— 
began to adopt programs of social reform that would in time create welfare states 
throughout Europe and in North America. In a few decades, this legislation would mount 
an incalculable debt on these governments. 
Socialism, however, did persist. After 1848, the year in which Karl Marx and Friedrich 
Engels published their Communist Manifesto, the movement came to be dominated by 
Marx. In 1864, the International Working Men’s Association was formed to unite socialist 
groups in all countries and to create a feeling of solidarity among workers everywhere.
Socialism: The Crisis of 1848 and 
Aftermath (cont’d) 
Although Marx was not one of the organizers, he soon became the leader of the 
association. This organization, usually remembered as the First International, dissolved in 
1876 because of internal dissension. The Second International was founded in 1889. Its 
purpose was to build a united class feeling among workers and to use this solidarity to 
prevent war. If hostilities threatened, the workers might prevent the struggle by refusing 
to serve as soldiers.
Today’s Little Red Hen 
Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she 
uncovered some grains of wheat. She called her neighbors and said, “If we plant this 
wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?” 
“Not I,” said the cow. 
“Not I,” said the duck. 
“Not I,” said the pig. 
“Not I,” said the goose. 
“Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did. The wheat grew tall and ripened into 
golden grain. “Who will help me reap my wheat?” asked the little red hen. 
“Not I,” said the duck. 
“Out of my classification,” said the pig. 
“I’d lose my seniority,” said the cow. 
“I’d lose my unemployment compensation,” said the goose. 
“Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did. 
At last, it came time to bake the bread. “Who will help me bake the bread?” asked the 
little red hen. 
“That would be overtime for me,” said the cow. 
“I’d lose my welfare benefits, said the duck. 
“I’m a dropout and never learned how,” said the pig. 
“If I’m the only helper, then that’s discrimination,” said the goose.
Today’s Little Red Hen (cont’d) 
“Then I will,” said the little red hen. She baked the five loaves and held them up for her 
neighbors to see. 
They all wanted some—in fact, demanded a fair share. But the little red hen said, “No, I 
can eat the five loaves myself.” 
“Excess profits!” yelled the cow. 
“Capitalist leech!” cried the duck. 
“I demand equal rights!” shouted the goose. 
The pig just grunted. Then they hurriedly painted “UNFAIR” picket signs and marched 
around, shouting obscenities. 
The government agent came and said to the little red hen, “You must not be greedy.” 
“But I earned the bread,” said the little red hen. 
“Exactly,” said the agent, “that is the wonderful free enterprise system. Anyone in the 
barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But, under government regulation, the 
productive workers must divide their product and earnings with the lazy, idle ones.” 
And they lived happily ever after. But the little red hen’s neighbors wondered why she 
never baked bread again!
Communist Manifesto 
In 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, two young socialists, published the pamphlet 
titled Manifesto of the Communist Party. They called it “communist,” rather than 
“socialist,” to disassociate themselves from utopian socialists with whom they disagreed. 
The Manifesto stated that the basis of Communism was historical materialism: the belief 
that the course of history is determined primarily by the operation of economic forces. All 
history, so Marx declared, could be explained in terms of class struggles between ruling 
groups and the oppressed. This pattern, he believed, enabled him to predict the long-range 
future. Capitalism (private enterprise) must, he said, inevitably give way to socialism. 
This would come about through a struggle between the proletariat, the class of modern 
wage earners, and the bourgeoisie, who owned the factories and machines. 
The Manifesto defines Communism as the abolition of private property. It ends with a call 
for the forcible overthrow of all existing social institutions. “Let the ruling classes tremble 
at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They 
have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!” 
The first authentic Communist party was organized in 1864 as the International Working 
Men’s Association (now more commonly called the First International). Violent 
controversies among its different factions soon split industrialized nations, but World War I 
destroyed it. Each Socialist party rejected socialist unity. The Third International was 
founded by V.I. Lenin after the war.
The Economic Theory of Karl Marx 
Karl Marx developed an economic theory based on his analysis of history. The following 
outlines the stages of history envisioned by Marx. 
1. History is shaped by economic forces—the way that goods are produced and distributed. 
2. A class struggle exists between the “haves” and the “have nots.” In modern industrial 
society, the bourgeoisie, or middle class capitalists, exploit the proletariat, or wage 
earning laborers. 
3. The class that holds economic power also controls the government for its own advantage. 
4. The middle class begins to shrink, as shopkeepers and owners of small businesses are 
ruined by competition with powerful capitalists. The working class grows larger until 
society is composed of a few rich people and the proletarian masses. 
5. Made desperate by their poverty, workers seize control of the government and the means 
of production, destroying the capitalist system and the ruling class. Through violent 
revolution, the workers create a “dictatorship of the proletariat.” 
6. Under the new Communist system, property and the means of production are owned by 
the people, and all goods and services are shared equally. 
7. With the destruction of capitalism, the class struggle ends, a “classless society” emerges, 
and the state withers away.
Communism: A Failed 
Economy 
Fidel Castro 
The term communism is generally applied to the Marxist-Leninist political and 
socioeconomic doctrines that guided the USSR until its disintegration in 1991 and that were 
shared by governments and political parties in Eastern Europe, China, and elsewhere. The 
term also denotes the centralized political system of China and of the former USSR and its 
satellites in Eastern Europe. This system, associated with the collective ownership of the 
means of production, central economic planning, and rule by a single political party, was 
discredited almost everywhere outside China, North Korea, and Vietnam as a result of its 
collapse in Europe and the USSR. What remains is its Marxist ideology, shorn of its 
Leninist--and, in China, much of its Maoist trappings. 
Communism is an outgrowth of 19th-century socialism. It became a distinct movement after 
the Russian Revolutions of 1917, when a group of revolutionary socialists seized power and 
adopted the name Communist party of the USSR. Mongolia became a Communist state in 
1921. After World War II other Communist states were established in the Eastern European 
countries of Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, 
Yugoslavia, and Albania, and in the Asian countries of China and North Korea. Communist 
regimes were subsequently established in Cuba, in the Southeast Asian countries of Vietnam, 
Laos, and Cambodia, and in Afghanistan.
Communism: A Failed Economy 
(cont’d) 
For 15 or more years pro-Soviet revolutionary governments ruled South Yemen and 
several African states, notably Angola, Mozambique, and Ethiopia. In the Western 
Hemisphere the leftist Sandinista regime (1979-90) in Nicaragua was under substantial 
Soviet and Cuban influence.
Totalitarianism: Totally 
Wrong 
Adolf Hitler 
Totalitarianism is a form of government in which all societal resources are monopolized by 
the state (socialism) in an effort to penetrate and control all aspects of public and private 
life. This control is facilitated by propaganda and by advances in technology. 
Both in theory and practice, totalitarianism is of relatively recent origin. First used to 
describe the organizational principles of the National Socialist (Nazi) party in Germany, the 
term gained currency in political analysis after World War II. Older concepts, such as 
dictatorship and despotism, were deemed inadequate by Western social scientists to 
describe this modern phenomenon. 
Totalitarian regimes are characterized by distinctive types of ideology and organization. 
Totalitarian ideologies reject existing society as corrupt, immoral, and beyond reform, 
project an alternative society in which these wrongs are to be redressed, and provide plans 
and programs for realizing the alternative order. These ideologies, supported by propaganda 
campaigns, demand total conformity on the part of the people.
Democracy and 
Our Republic 
Liberty Bell, Philadelphia 
An increase in popular participation in government has often come about because the ruling 
group sees political advantage in it. For example, when Cleisthenes created Athenian 
democracy about 510 BC, he was apparently packing the assembly with new voters. In the 
United States several major expansions of the electorate occurred for similar reasons: 
Jeffersonian Republicans eliminated property qualifications to win the votes of the very 
poor; Republicans passed (1870) the 15th Amendment (on black voting) to win blacks' votes 
in southern and border states; progressive reformers from both parties in the early 20th 
century pushed for women's suffrage, expecting that women, more frequently than men, 
would support humanitarian causes such as temperance; and Republicans and Democrats 
vied with each other in the 1950s and '60s to promote black voting in the South in order to 
win black votes. Not every expansion of the electorate is so consciously self-serving, 
however. In colonial America, participation widened almost by accident. Most colonies 
initially adopted the traditional English property qualification for voting: the 40-shilling 
freehold. This represented an income that was very high in late medieval times and still 
fairly high in the 17th century. By 1776, inflation and prosperity had enabled the vast 
majority of adult males to qualify as electors. In the 20th century some countries, such as 
Turkey and India, have greatly expanded their electorates as an incidental consequence of 
the decision to adopt democratic forms.

Progressivism: 
Socialism Begins in America 
The origins of progressivism were as complex and are difficult to describe as 
the movement itself. In the vanguard were various agrarian crusaders, such as 
the Grangers and the Populists and the Democrats under Bryan, with their 
demands for stringent railroad regulation and national control of banks and the 
money supply. At the same time a new generation of economists, sociologists, 
and political scientists was undermining the philosophical foundations of the 
laissez-faire state with socialism and constructing a new ideology to justify 
democratic collectivism; and a new school of social workers was establishing 
settlement houses and going into slums to discover the extent of human 
degradation. Allied with them was a growing body of ministers, priests, and 
rabbis—proponents of what was called the Social Gospel—who struggled to 
arouse the social concerns and consciences of their parishioners. Finally, 
journalists called “muckrakers” probed into all the dark corners of American life 
and carried their message of reform, usually through government intervention, 
by mass-circulation newspapers and magazines.
The Grange 
The National Grange is the popular name of the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry, 
the oldest general farm organization in the United States. It was established in 
Washington, D.C. on 4 Dec 1867, largely through the efforts of Oliver Hudson 
Kelley, a Minnesota farmer who was deeply affected by the poverty and isolation of 
the farmers he saw while inspecting farm areas in the South for the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture in 1866. He felt they had to unite and promote their 
interests collectively. The organization, which acquired the character of a fraternal 
society, provided lectures and entertainment for farm men and women. It also 
experimented in cooperative buying and selling of farm products and supplies and 
carried on educational programs, setting up Grange units for children as well as 
adults. 
In the 1870’s, the Grange was prominent in the broader Granger movement, which 
campaigned against extortionate charges by monopolistic railroads and 
warehouses, and helped bring about laws regulating these charges in some states 
in the upper Mississippi Valley. Although challenged, the constitutionality of such 
laws was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Munn V. Illinois (1877).
Populism 
The Populist party was formed in the 1890’s at the culmination of a period of 
agrarian discontent in the United States. The party traced its roots to the farmers’ 
alliances, loose confederations of organizations that had formed in the South and 
West beginning in the late 1870’s and expanded rapidly after about 1885. The 
alliances advocated tax reform, regulation of railroads, and free silver (the unlimited 
minting of silver coins). In 1890, many candidates who supported alliance 
objectives were elected in state and local contests. Encouraged by these results, 
alliance leaders formed a national political party, officially the People’s party, but 
usually called the Populist party. 
At a convention in Omaha, NE, in 1892, the Populists nominated James B. Weaver 
of Iowa as their presidential candidate. Hoping to unite Southern and Western 
farmers with industrial workers of the Northeast, the party adopted a platform calling 
for government ownership of the railroads and the telephone and telegraph 
systems; free silver; a graduated income tax; a ‘subtreasury” plan to allow farmers 
to withhold crops from the market when prices dipped; the direct election of U.S. 
senators; immigration restriction; an 8 hour day for industrial workers; and other 
reforms. Many of these reforms or ideas were socialist ideas that had come from 
Europe. In the election of 1892, Weaver received more than a million popular votes 
and 22 electoral votes, but the Democratic candidate, Grover Cleveland, won the
Political reform 
 Progressive socialists subverted constitutions and 
charters of local and state governments by 
allowing people to introduce bills (initiative). A 
referendum is a vote on that initiative. They 
looked at constitutions as a “living document” and 
not as a document to guide a government which 
was difficult to change.
Political reform 
 A Progressive reform, the Seventeenth 
Amendment supposedly put more power into the 
people’s hands. It allowed for the direct election 
of US Senators. Before, state legislators would 
choose and could recall them if they were voting 
for unsupportable legislation. Now we have to 
wait until the next election to replace them.
Political reform 
 Progressives wanted big business out of politics. 
 Political machines controlled the political parties 
and were progressives.

 One infamous Democratic political machine was 
the Tammany Hall Ring of NYC. Starting with 
William Marcy “Boss” Tweed in the 1870s.

 Political machines manipulated people. 
They provided jobs to immigrants and 
other services for a vote
Economic Reform 
 Another Progressive reform, the Sixteenth 
Amendment allowed for a graduated income tax 
which means the rich pay a higher percentage 
than poor people. Presently about half of all 
Americans pay no income tax and have no stake 
in America. Progressives use class warfare to 
divide America.

Scientific Discoveries of the Bible 
Natural Selection 
Charles Darwin, a 19th century English naturalist, argued that natural selection 
guides evolutionary change. Darwin’s contemporary Alfred Russel Wallace, 
another English naturalist, stated a similar theory of evolution independently of 
Darwin. The theory of natural selection is based on the idea that living things are 
in constant competition for limited but essential resources in their environments— 
such as food, places to hide, and opportunities to breed. Accordingly, natural 
selection favors any trait that helps an organism or its offspring to survive. For 
example, the daring shown by birds in the place of a predator near the nest involves 
the risk of death. Nonetheless, natural selection compensates the risk by increasing 
the offspring’s chances of survival. 
In 1859, Darwin published his views in On the Origin of Species by Means of 
Natural Selection, and a major controversy was immediately sparked between 
theologians and scientists. Even scientists argued with each other over how the 
traits Darwin thought were subject to natural selection could be inherited. 
Ironically, an Austrian priest, Gregor Mendel, published genetic principles in 1866 
that could have settled the problem, but Mendel’s work was not appreciated until 
1900.

say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall become a 
tanniyn. - Ex 7:9

the tanniyn in the mayim. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] 
gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. Thou didst cleave 
the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. The day[is] thine, the laila 
(night) also [is] thine: thou hast prepared the aur (light) and the shemesh (sun). -

meaning unknown. Some translate as elephant or hippopotamus but from the 
description in Job 40:15-24, this is patently absurd. 
 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his 
strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail 
like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones [are as] 
strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron. He [is] the chief of the ways 
of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him]. Surely the 
mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lieth under 
the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him [with] 
their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a 
river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He 
taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares. Job 40:15-24 KJV 
 The juniper-like tree most likely referred to is the famous well-known species 
called "Cedrus libani", or "cedar-of-Lebanon," a beautiful and stately tree that

Louis Pasteur & Germ Theory 
Beliefs about disease in19th 
Century 
 People knew there was a link between dirt and 
disease, but could not explain the link. 
 People explained disease as seeds, bad seeds, in 
the air known as miasma. 
 1850s &1860s breakthrough in the cause of disease.
Pasteurization 
In 1854, Louis Pasteur became professor of chemistry and dean of the 
school of science (Faculté des Sciences) at the University of Lille. 
Hearing of Pasteur’s ability, a local distiller came to him for help in 
controlling the process of making alcohol by fermenting beet sugar. 
Pasteur saw that fermentation was not a simple chemical reaction but took 
place only in the presence of living organisms. He learned that 
fermentation, putrefaction, infection, and souring are caused by germs, or 
microbes.

Step 1: Discovery of Micro-organisms 
 Anthony Van 
Leeuwenhoek made 
one of the earliest 
microscopes. 
 Discovered micro-organisms 
which he 
called animalcules. 
 Microscopes not as 
good as today.
Step 2: Improved microscopes 
 1800s purer glass 
produced = better 
lenses for 
microscope. 
 1830 Joseph Lister 
develops a 
microscope which 
can magnify x1000
Step 3: Louis Pasteur’s germ 
theory 
 Old Theory: spontaneous generation 
 micro-organisms are the result of decaying matter. 
 New Theory: germ theory 
 micro-organisms cause decaying matter. 
 Pasteur showed you could kill the micro-organisms 
by applying heat - PASTEURIZATION.
Step 4: Germ theory vs 
spontaneous generation 
 Pasteur now had to 
prove his theory. 
 In competition with 
French scientist 
Pouchet. 
 Conducted an 
experiment showing that 
microbes in the air 
caused decay. 
 1861 published his 
‘germ theory’
Step 5: Linking micro-organisms 
to disease 
 Pasteur showed micro-organisms made wine and 
beer go bad. 
 Could germs cause disease? 
 Another experiment! 
 Proved that a micro-organism was causing disease 
in silk worms.
Step 6: Proving the link between 
bacteria and human disease. 
 Pasteur never 
showed the link 
between bacteria 
and human 
disease. 
 This was left to

Radiation and Relativity 
Marie was born Manya Sklodwska in Warsaw, Poland, on 7 Nov 1867. She took up her 
father’s interest in mathematics and physics; and after her early schooling, she went to 
Paris where she met Pierre Curie in 1894. They married on 25 Jul 1895, and began a 
scientific partnership that soon earned them international fame. 
In 1898, the Curies announced the discovery of the chemical elements polonium and 
radium. In 1903, the Curies and Henri Becquerel shared the Nobel prize for physics for 
their discovery of radioactivity. On 19 Apr 1906, Pierre was struck by a horse-drawn 
carriage and killed. Marie carried on with her scientific work and became the first woman 
ever appointed to teach at the Sorbonne. In 1911, she was awarded the Nobel prize for 
chemistry for isolating pure radium. She died of leukemia, caused by exposure to 
radiation during her work on 4 Jul 1934. 
Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity challenged all conventional ideas about time. 
One of the cornerstones of this theory is that the speed of light is the same for all 
observers. A consequence of this rule is that time is not constant: clocks run at different 
rates for different observers depending on the relative motion of the clocks and observers. 
For example, it appears to an observer with a clock at rest
Radiation and Relativity (cont’d) 
on the surface of the Earth that the clock in a spaceship passing by at high speed runs 
slower than the stationary, Earthbound clock. Likewise, the observer on the spaceship sees 
the Earthbound clock running slower. This effect is called time dilation. 
Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicted that clocks run slower in the presence of a 
gravitational field. Thus a clock in space runs faster than an identical clock on Earth, 
where gravity is stronger. Both of Einstein’s predictions concerning time dilation have 
been experimentally confirmed. Today scientists no longer consider time as an 
independent, constant entity but as one aspect of an interdependent space-time continuum. 
They know that the time measured by a clock depends on where the clock is and how fast 
it is moving in relation to the observer.
The Age of Idealism (1775-1850) 
There were three phases of German literature in the late 18th century and the first half of 
the 19th century. They were Storm and Stress (Sturm und Drang), classicism, and 
romanticism. Each emphasized idealism rather than realism. 
Writers of the Storm and Stress period were interested in the ideals of friendship, 
freedom, and the fatherland. The intellectual leader of this brief phase was Johann 
Herder. His insights about literature, architecture, and cultural evolution influenced not 
only his own generation but also the followers of classicism and the advocates of 
romanticism who came after him. 
The foremost representatives of Storm and Stress were Johann Schiller and Johann Göthe. 
For them, the movement served only as the first step in their development into the chief 
writers of German classical idealism. Schiller produced a series of plays expressing the 
ethical and intellectual values of the age. They marked him as one of the finest German 
dramatists. 
Göthe became the greatest writer in German literature. He produced enduring dramatic 
monuments to German classicism and humanism in Iphigenia in Taurus
The Age of Idealism (1775-1850) 
(cont’d) 
and Torquato Tasso. His Wilhelm Meister books left an impression upon the later history 
of the German novel. Faust, a great poetic drama, examines the problem of good and 
evil. 
German romanticism sprang from foreign as well as native roots. It rejected some of the 
ideals of classicism and retained others of Storm and Stress. Emphasizing individualism, 
it explored the subconscious and the unconscious. 
Some of the romanticists were merely critics, but others were essentially creators, 
especially of lyric poems and short stories. A number of writers, such as the Grimm 
brothers, collected popular poetry and tales. Two of the latest and greatest romanticists 
were Eduard Morike and Heinrich Heine.

Trends in the Arts in the Late 1800s 
Painting 
Many artists of the late 1800’s experimented with making their work more abstract and less related to real objects. 
Impressionism Impressionism painters experimented with showing their impression of an 
object, rather than making a realistic representation. The artists focused on 
light and color, and tried to capture a scene as it might have appeared at a 
glance. 
Post-impressionism The post-impressionists experimented with vivid colors and distorted images. 
Expressionism The expressionists looked for ways to express intense emotion in their work. 
Cubism The cubists painted natural shapes as geometrical forms. 
Music 
Musicians of the late 1800’s followed trends set by Romantics and nationalistic composers. The music dramas of 
Richard Wagner influenced later composers. Some composers of the early 1900’s tried to create in music what the 
impressionist painters were attempting on canvas. 
Literature and Drama 
Many writers in the late 1800’s began to write about social problems and the lives of ordinary people. This new 
trend was called realism because writers tried to make their descriptions true to life. In plays of the late 1800’s, 
characters began to speak in everyday language, rather than poetry.

Radical Reconstruction 
Radical Republicans were outraged at these procedures, 
which of the same Southerners who had led their states out 
of the Union. The Radicals put forth their own plan of 
Reconstruction in the Wade–Davis Bill, which Congress 
passed on July 2, 1864; it required not 10 percent but a 
majority of the white male citizens in each Southern state to 
participate in the reconstruction process, and it insisted upon 
an oath of past, not just of future, loyalty. Finding the bill too 
rigorous and inflexible, Lincoln pocket vetoed it; and the 
Radicals bitterly denounced him. During the 1864–65 
session of Congress, they in turn defeated the president's 
proposal to recognize the Louisiana government organized 
under his 10 percent plan. At the time of Lincoln's 
assassination, therefore, the president and the Congress 
were at loggerheads over Reconstruction.
Reconstruction under Andrew 
Johnson 
At first it seemed that Johnson might be able to work 
more cooperatively with Congress in the process of 
Reconstruction. A former representative and a former 
senator, he understood congressmen. A loyal Unionist 
who had stood by his country even at the risk of his life 
when Tennessee seceded, he was certain not to 
compromise with secession; and his experience as 
military governor of that state showed him to be 
politically shrewd and tough toward the slaveholders. 
“Johnson, we have faith in you,” Radical Benjamin F. 
Wade assured the new president on the day he took the 
oath of office. “By the gods, there will be no trouble 
running the government.”
Black Codes or Jim Crow Laws 
The black codes had their roots in the slave codes that had formerly been in effect. The 
premise behind chattel slavery in America was that slaves were property, and, as such, they 
had few or no legal rights. The slave codes, in their many loosely defined forms, were seen as 
effective tools against slave unrest, particularly as a hedge against uprisings and runaways. 
Enforcement of slave codes also varied, but corporal punishment was widely and harshly 
employed. 
The black codes enacted immediately after the War between the States, though varying from 
state to state, were all intended to secure a steady supply of cheap labor, and all continued to 
assume the inferiority of the freed slaves. There were vagrancy laws that declared a black to 
be vagrant if unemployed and without permanent residence; a person so defined could be 
arrested, fined, and bound out for a term of labor if unable to pay the fine. Apprentice laws 
provided for the Detail “hiring from Sheet cover 
out” music of cover orphans for 
and other young dependents to whites, who often 
turned out to be of The their Celebrated

forbidden to carry firearms or to testify in court, except in cases 
concerning other 1843 
blacks. Minstrels, Legal c. 1844 
marriage between blacks was provided for, but interracial 
marriage was prohibited. 
It was Northern reaction to the black codes (as well as to the bloody anti-black riots in 
Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1866; see New Orleans Race Riot) that 
helped produce Radical Reconstruction (1865–77) and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth 
amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The Freedmen's Bureau was created in 1865 to help the 
former slaves. Reconstruction did away with the black codes, but, after Reconstruction ended
Ku Klux Klan 
The 19th-century Klan was originally organized as a social club by Confederate 
veterans in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1866. They apparently derived the name from the 
Greek word kyklos, from which comes the English “circle”; “Klan” was added for 
the sake of alliteration and Ku Klux Klan emerged. The organization quickly 
became a vehicle for Southern white underground resistance to Radical 
Reconstruction. Klan members sought the restoration of white supremacy through 
intimidation and violence aimed at the newly enfranchised black freedmen. A 
similar organization, the Knights of the White Camelia, began in Louisiana in 1867. 
In the summer of 1867, the Klan was structured into the “Invisible Empire of the 
South” at a convention in Nashville, Tenn., attended by delegates from former 
Confederate states. The group was presided over by a grand wizard (Confederate 
cavalry general Nathan Bedford Forrest is believed to have been the first grand 
wizard) and a descending hierarchy of grand dragons, grand titans, and grand 
cyclopses. Dressed in robes and sheets designed to frighten superstitious blacks 
and to prevent identification by the occupying federal troops, Klansmen whipped 
and killed freedmen and their white supporters in nighttime raids. 
The 19th-century Klan reached its peak between 1868 and 1870. A potent force, it 
was largely responsible for the restoration of white rule in North Carolina, 
Tennessee, and Georgia. But Forrest ordered it disbanded in 1869, largely as a 
result of the group's excessive violence. In 1869, a federal grand jury declared the 
Ku Klux Klan to be a terrorist organization. In January 1871, Pennsylvania 
Republican senator John Scott convened a committee, which took testimony from 
witnesses about Klan atrocities. Local branches remained active for a time, 
however, prompting Congress to pass the Force Act in 1870 and the Ku Klux Act in 
1871.
The 1866 Elections and the Lone 
Impeachment 
1. The Radical Republicans won big victories in the election of 1866, gaining 
two-thirds majorities in both houses of Congress. In addition, the 
Republicans captured every Northern governorship. 
2. The Reconstruction Act of 1867 established five southern military districts, 
each supervised by a military commander. Before being readmitted, each 
state had to have a new constitution and ratified by the voters that would 
create a state government acceptable to Congress 
3. Congress acted to tie Andrew Johnson’s hands by passing the Tenure of 
Office Act and the Command of the Army Act. The former required Senate 
approval for the removal of any public official whose installation had 
previously required the President to issue orders as commander-in-chief only 
to the general-in-charge of the army. 
4. The House of Representatives voted for impeachment, but the Senate failed 
to convict President Johnson of impeachment by only one vote.
Blacks in Government 
The Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave the vote to all 
male citizens regardless of color or previous condition of servitude. Black 
Americans became involved in the political process not only as voters but 
also as governmental representatives at the local, state and national level. 
Although their elections were often contested by whites, and members of 
the legislative bodies were usually reluctant to receive them, many black 
American men ably served their country during Reconstruction. 
After the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, the 14th Amendment 
(1868) granted African Americans citizenship, and the 15th Amendment 
(1870) gave black men (but not women) the right to vote. In February 
1870, Hiram Revels (Republican-Mississippi) became the first black 
senator, taking the seat once occupied by Jefferson Davis, President of 
the Confederacy. In December 1870, Joseph Rainey (Republican-South 
Carolina) became the first black representative. Several Southern states 
sent African Americans to Congress during Reconstruction. But later 
efforts by white Southerners to restrict black voting, often through violence 
and intimidation, resulted in the defeat of most black incumbents. After 
1901 no blacks served in Congress until the election of Oscar De-Priest 
(Republican-Illinois) in 1928. By then, Washington had become a 
segregated city, and DePriest had to struggle even for his staff members 
to eat in the Capitol restaurants.
The New State Governments and 
Keeping the Peace 
 Although most members of the reconstruction governments were white, 
many blacks held office, including fourteen representatives and two 
senators. Two other groups were influential—the carpetbaggers and the 
scalawags. 
 They faced the challenge of: 
 Supervising the construction of new public works 
 Combating the activities of organizations like the Ku Klux Klan 
 Congress guaranteed black suffrage in the Fifteenth Amendment and 
required ratification of that amendment by states yet to be readmitted to 
the Union. 
 Congress also passed: 
 The Ku Klux Klan Acts, which provided harsh penalties for violations of the Fourteenth 
and Fifteenth Amendments. 
 Empowered the President to invoke martial law to protect the rights of blacks. 
 Gave federal courts jurisdiction over civil-rights cases.
The 1868 Election and 
Corruption 
 Ulysses S. Grant becomes President and was a weak leader. 
 Graft and corruption dominated Grant’s administration: 
 The spoilsmen were northern politicians like Senators Oliver Morton and Roscoe 
Conkling, who opposed reform and aimed at enriching themselves by aiding special 
interests groups. 
 Two speculators, Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, persuaded Grant not to allow the Treasury 
Department to sell gold creating the panic of 24 Sep 1869—”Black Friday” 
 The Crédit Mobilier was the attempt of some stockholders of the Union Pacific 
Railroad to cheat the rest of the stockholders of that railroad company. The scandal 
also involved the sale of Crédit Mobilier stock at low prices to prominent public 
officials in return for favors.
Reconstruction Comes to a Close 
The Republican regimes in the Southern states began to fall as early as 1870; by 
1877 they had all collapsed. For the next 13 years the South was under the 
leadership of white Democrats whom their critics called Bourbons because, like 
the French royal family, they supposedly had learned nothing and forgotten 
nothing from the revolution they had experienced. For the South as a whole, the 
characterization is neither quite accurate nor quite fair. In most Southern states 
the new political leaders represented not only the planters but also the rising 
Southern business community, interested in railroads, cotton textiles, and urban 
land speculation. 
Even on racial questions the new Southern political leaders were not so 
reactionary as the label Bourbon might suggest. Though whites were in the 
majority in all but two of the Southern states, the conservative regimes did not 
attempt to disfranchise African Americans. Partly their restraint was caused by 
fear of further federal intervention; chiefly, however, it stemmed from a conviction 
on the part of conservative leaders that they could control African American 
voters, whether through fraud, intimidation, or manipulation. 
Indeed, African American votes were sometimes of great value to these regimes, 
which favored the businessmen and planters of the South at the expense of the 
small white farmers. These “Redeemer” governments sharply reduced or even 
eliminated the programs of the state governments that benefited poor people. The 
public school system was starved for money; in 1890 the per capita expenditure in
Reconstruction Comes to a Close 
(cont’d) 
measures to safeguard the public health were rejected. At the same time these 
conservative regimes were often astonishingly corrupt, and embezzlement and 
defalcation on the part of public officials were even greater than during the 
Reconstruction years. 
The small white farmers resentful of planter dominance, residents of the hill country 
outvoted by Black Belt constituencies, and politicians excluded from the ruling 
cabals tried repeatedly to overthrow the conservative regimes in the South. During 
the 1870s they supported Independent or Greenback Labor candidates, but without 
notable success. In 1879 the Readjuster Party in Virginia—so named because its 
supporters sought to readjust the huge funded debt of that state so as to lessen the 
tax burden on small farmers—gained control of the legislature and secured in 1880 
the election of its leader, General William Mahone, to the U.S. Senate. Not until 
1890, however, when the powerful Farmers' Alliance, hitherto devoted exclusively to 
the promotion of agricultural reforms, dropped its ban on politics, was there an 
effective challenge to conservative hegemony. In that year, with Alliance backing, 
Benjamin R. Tillman was chosen governor of South Carolina and James S. Hogg 
was elected governor of Texas; the heyday of Southern populism was at hand.
International Relations in Latin 
America 
The nations of Latin America share a common heritage that influences the nature of 
their relationships with other countries. For example, their policies toward European 
states tend to be the products of long colonial associations with Spain and Portugal, 
and more recent commercial contacts with Great Britain, France, and Germany. 
International relations within the Americas are influenced by the powerful presence 
of the United States. As early as 1821, the Monroe Doctrine established the self-proclaimed 
right of the United States to protect all Latin American nations from 
foreign intervention. 
The Spanish-American War of 1898, followed in 1905 by the Roosevelt Corollary by 
President Theodore Roosevelt to the Monroe Doctrine, imposed the right of the 
United States to intercede in Latin American affairs. The United States enforced 
this policy in the acquisition of the Panama Canal Zone; military occupations of 
Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic; intervention in Cuba; and incursions 
into Mexico. The Good Neighbor Policy announced by President Franklin D. 
Roosevelt in 1933 improved inter-American relations.
Homestead 
Act 
The Homestead Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1862, granted 160 acres (65 ha) of 
public land in the West as a homestead to "any person who is the head of a family, or who 
has arrived at the age of twenty-one years, and is a citizen of the United States, or who shall 
have filed his declaration of intention to become such." The homesteader had only to pay a 
small filing fee, live on the land for 5 years, and make certain improvements in order to 
receive clear title. 
The passage of the Homestead Act was the culmination of years of controversy over the 
disposal of public lands. From the 1830s on, groups called for free distribution of such lands. 
This became a demand of the Free-Soil party, which saw such distribution as a means of 
stopping the spread of slavery in the territories, and it was subsequently adopted by the 
Republican party in its 1860 platform. The Southern states had been the most vociferous 
opponents of the policy, and their secession cleared the way for its adoption.
Battle of the Little Big Horn 
The Battle of the Little Big Horn (25 Jun 
1876), also called “Custer’s Last Stand,” was 
the last major Indian victory in the Indian 
Wars of the American West. The Lakota, 
Sioux, and Cheyenne peoples resisted 
incursions of whites prospecting for gold on 
Indian land in the Black Hills of Dakota 
beginning in 1874. In 1876, the U.S. Army 
sent an expedition to subdue the Sioux 
leaders, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. On 24 
June, COL George Armstrong Custer, 
commanding the 7th Cavalry, located their 
camp on the Little Big Horn River in Montana. 
Underestimating his opponents’ strength, he 
attacked them with a small force of about 225 
men the following day. In the ensuing battle, 
Custer and all of his men were killed. 
Despite their victory, most of the Sioux had 
been expelled from the Black Hill by the end 
of 1876. The site of the battle is now a

  • 1. Urban America Chapter 6 1865-1896
  • 2. Immigrants in America Millions of immigrants moved to the United States in the late 1800’s & early 1900’s.
  • 3. Give Me Your Poor Huddled Masses The plaque on the Statue of Liberty contains the poem by Emma Lazarus—The New Colossus, 1883 Employers in the West and Southwest had never found it necessary or desirable to recruit laborers as immigrants. Instead, they relied upon alien workers from Asian countries, who were made ineligible for citizenship under U.S. naturalization laws, and, increasingly, upon sojourner migrants from Mexico, whose muscle was wanted but who were not welcome as members of American society. Prejudice against Asians was so strong that in 1882 Congress passed the first of Chinese Exclusion Acts preventing the importation of Chinese laborers. However, the system of sojourner Mexican workers, some of whom came lawfully and others illegally, was permitted to continue. During World War I, this was formalized in the first of a series of temporary-worker programs through which workers were imported to do hard agricultural labor with the understanding that they would be sent back to Mexico when the work was finished. Immigrants, on the other hand, were encouraged to participate in American institutions. By 1917 (when a literacy test for immigrants was enacted), though, most Americans were convinced that there were too many immigrants.
  • 4. Population of Selected Cities in Great Britain
  • 5. Immigration Stations  Once immigrants arrived in the U.S., they went through immigration stations, such as Ellis Island in New York Harbor and Angel Island in San Francisco, California. Government workers questioned them about where they planned to work & live. Doctors also examined them to make sure they didn’t have any diseases. Almost all European immigrants were allowed to enter the U.S.
  • 6. New immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. At Ellis they will be "processed" before they are allowed to continue their journey to find a new home.
  • 7.
  • 8. Laws Against Immigration  1882 Congress passed Chinese Exclusion Act  Almost all Chinese immigrants were kept out of America  1921 & 1924 Congress passed laws that lowered the number of Europeans & Asians  All immigrants faced prejudice upon arrival
  • 9. Immigrants helped the U.S. become one of the richest and fastest-growing countries in the world. They built railroads, dug mines, and worked in factories.

  • 12. We’re Spreading Out Despite widespread public recognition of worsening urban housing problems and frequent calls for reform, only after the War between the States were government efforts undertaken to improve housing conditions. In 1867, the New York state legislature enacted the first tenement-housing legislation, which regulated the construction of railroad flats by establishing minimum construction standards. The continued influx of immigrants, however, resulted in the proliferation of overcrowded tenements and deplorable health conditions. Attempts to improve housing were spurred by the writings of such reformers as Jacob Riis and Lawrence Veiller in the 1890’s, as well as by the first federal report on housing conditions, issued in 1894. Nevertheless, it was not until 1901 that a law permitting enforcement of housing standards was enacted. The landmark New York City “New Law” required building permits and inspections, prescribed penalties for noncompliance, and created a permanent city housing department. Subsequently, the New Law was copied in other U.S. cities and provided an impetus for housing legislation at the state level in the early 1900’s. By 1930, many state and local governments also had adopted Night School Mulberry in city the Bend, Seventh planning, New Avenue York zoning, Lodging House and subdivision regulations to Scene Nibsy's on A Poverty the Flat The Alley, Roof Dine Mulberry nthse Gappers Torn of o Pf the aDuepaetrh's Down Bend Mott Playing Barracks in became Street the Coney Fall Barracks a with park of Island 1895 All Its Furniture guide the development Ready The for walls Sabbath began Eve to in give a Coal Cellar The Old In and PSeledeleprinWg MBrosh.

  • 18. Socialism: The Crisis of 1848 and Aftermath Despite all the socialist enthusiasm in Europe during the 19th century, no nation adopted the political/economic system. Socialist parties were in the minority but were regarded as a serious threat by both government and capitalists. The year 1848 was a critical point in socialist history. A series of revolts broke out against European monarchies, beginning in Sicily and spreading to France, Germany, and the Austrian Empire. The revolts failed, and all liberals and socialists were disillusioned by this failure. From 1848, socialism made no great gains until the Russian Revolution. Socialism itself persisted in a variety of national political parties. In the early years of the 20th century, socialism became a powerful parliamentary force throughout Europe, and it was this force that would eventually undermine revolutionary socialism everywhere. Governments—seeing the threat proposed by socialists, Communists, and anarchists— began to adopt programs of social reform that would in time create welfare states throughout Europe and in North America. In a few decades, this legislation would mount an incalculable debt on these governments. Socialism, however, did persist. After 1848, the year in which Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published their Communist Manifesto, the movement came to be dominated by Marx. In 1864, the International Working Men’s Association was formed to unite socialist groups in all countries and to create a feeling of solidarity among workers everywhere.
  • 19. Socialism: The Crisis of 1848 and Aftermath (cont’d) Although Marx was not one of the organizers, he soon became the leader of the association. This organization, usually remembered as the First International, dissolved in 1876 because of internal dissension. The Second International was founded in 1889. Its purpose was to build a united class feeling among workers and to use this solidarity to prevent war. If hostilities threatened, the workers might prevent the struggle by refusing to serve as soldiers.
  • 20. Today’s Little Red Hen Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered some grains of wheat. She called her neighbors and said, “If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?” “Not I,” said the cow. “Not I,” said the duck. “Not I,” said the pig. “Not I,” said the goose. “Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did. The wheat grew tall and ripened into golden grain. “Who will help me reap my wheat?” asked the little red hen. “Not I,” said the duck. “Out of my classification,” said the pig. “I’d lose my seniority,” said the cow. “I’d lose my unemployment compensation,” said the goose. “Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did. At last, it came time to bake the bread. “Who will help me bake the bread?” asked the little red hen. “That would be overtime for me,” said the cow. “I’d lose my welfare benefits, said the duck. “I’m a dropout and never learned how,” said the pig. “If I’m the only helper, then that’s discrimination,” said the goose.
  • 21. Today’s Little Red Hen (cont’d) “Then I will,” said the little red hen. She baked the five loaves and held them up for her neighbors to see. They all wanted some—in fact, demanded a fair share. But the little red hen said, “No, I can eat the five loaves myself.” “Excess profits!” yelled the cow. “Capitalist leech!” cried the duck. “I demand equal rights!” shouted the goose. The pig just grunted. Then they hurriedly painted “UNFAIR” picket signs and marched around, shouting obscenities. The government agent came and said to the little red hen, “You must not be greedy.” “But I earned the bread,” said the little red hen. “Exactly,” said the agent, “that is the wonderful free enterprise system. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But, under government regulation, the productive workers must divide their product and earnings with the lazy, idle ones.” And they lived happily ever after. But the little red hen’s neighbors wondered why she never baked bread again!
  • 22. Communist Manifesto In 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, two young socialists, published the pamphlet titled Manifesto of the Communist Party. They called it “communist,” rather than “socialist,” to disassociate themselves from utopian socialists with whom they disagreed. The Manifesto stated that the basis of Communism was historical materialism: the belief that the course of history is determined primarily by the operation of economic forces. All history, so Marx declared, could be explained in terms of class struggles between ruling groups and the oppressed. This pattern, he believed, enabled him to predict the long-range future. Capitalism (private enterprise) must, he said, inevitably give way to socialism. This would come about through a struggle between the proletariat, the class of modern wage earners, and the bourgeoisie, who owned the factories and machines. The Manifesto defines Communism as the abolition of private property. It ends with a call for the forcible overthrow of all existing social institutions. “Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!” The first authentic Communist party was organized in 1864 as the International Working Men’s Association (now more commonly called the First International). Violent controversies among its different factions soon split industrialized nations, but World War I destroyed it. Each Socialist party rejected socialist unity. The Third International was founded by V.I. Lenin after the war.
  • 23. The Economic Theory of Karl Marx Karl Marx developed an economic theory based on his analysis of history. The following outlines the stages of history envisioned by Marx. 1. History is shaped by economic forces—the way that goods are produced and distributed. 2. A class struggle exists between the “haves” and the “have nots.” In modern industrial society, the bourgeoisie, or middle class capitalists, exploit the proletariat, or wage earning laborers. 3. The class that holds economic power also controls the government for its own advantage. 4. The middle class begins to shrink, as shopkeepers and owners of small businesses are ruined by competition with powerful capitalists. The working class grows larger until society is composed of a few rich people and the proletarian masses. 5. Made desperate by their poverty, workers seize control of the government and the means of production, destroying the capitalist system and the ruling class. Through violent revolution, the workers create a “dictatorship of the proletariat.” 6. Under the new Communist system, property and the means of production are owned by the people, and all goods and services are shared equally. 7. With the destruction of capitalism, the class struggle ends, a “classless society” emerges, and the state withers away.
  • 24. Communism: A Failed Economy Fidel Castro The term communism is generally applied to the Marxist-Leninist political and socioeconomic doctrines that guided the USSR until its disintegration in 1991 and that were shared by governments and political parties in Eastern Europe, China, and elsewhere. The term also denotes the centralized political system of China and of the former USSR and its satellites in Eastern Europe. This system, associated with the collective ownership of the means of production, central economic planning, and rule by a single political party, was discredited almost everywhere outside China, North Korea, and Vietnam as a result of its collapse in Europe and the USSR. What remains is its Marxist ideology, shorn of its Leninist--and, in China, much of its Maoist trappings. Communism is an outgrowth of 19th-century socialism. It became a distinct movement after the Russian Revolutions of 1917, when a group of revolutionary socialists seized power and adopted the name Communist party of the USSR. Mongolia became a Communist state in 1921. After World War II other Communist states were established in the Eastern European countries of Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Albania, and in the Asian countries of China and North Korea. Communist regimes were subsequently established in Cuba, in the Southeast Asian countries of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and in Afghanistan.

  • 26. Totalitarianism: Totally Wrong Adolf Hitler Totalitarianism is a form of government in which all societal resources are monopolized by the state (socialism) in an effort to penetrate and control all aspects of public and private life. This control is facilitated by propaganda and by advances in technology. Both in theory and practice, totalitarianism is of relatively recent origin. First used to describe the organizational principles of the National Socialist (Nazi) party in Germany, the term gained currency in political analysis after World War II. Older concepts, such as dictatorship and despotism, were deemed inadequate by Western social scientists to describe this modern phenomenon. Totalitarian regimes are characterized by distinctive types of ideology and organization. Totalitarian ideologies reject existing society as corrupt, immoral, and beyond reform, project an alternative society in which these wrongs are to be redressed, and provide plans and programs for realizing the alternative order. These ideologies, supported by propaganda campaigns, demand total conformity on the part of the people.
  • 27. Democracy and Our Republic Liberty Bell, Philadelphia An increase in popular participation in government has often come about because the ruling group sees political advantage in it. For example, when Cleisthenes created Athenian democracy about 510 BC, he was apparently packing the assembly with new voters. In the United States several major expansions of the electorate occurred for similar reasons: Jeffersonian Republicans eliminated property qualifications to win the votes of the very poor; Republicans passed (1870) the 15th Amendment (on black voting) to win blacks' votes in southern and border states; progressive reformers from both parties in the early 20th century pushed for women's suffrage, expecting that women, more frequently than men, would support humanitarian causes such as temperance; and Republicans and Democrats vied with each other in the 1950s and '60s to promote black voting in the South in order to win black votes. Not every expansion of the electorate is so consciously self-serving, however. In colonial America, participation widened almost by accident. Most colonies initially adopted the traditional English property qualification for voting: the 40-shilling freehold. This represented an income that was very high in late medieval times and still fairly high in the 17th century. By 1776, inflation and prosperity had enabled the vast majority of adult males to qualify as electors. In the 20th century some countries, such as Turkey and India, have greatly expanded their electorates as an incidental consequence of the decision to adopt democratic forms.

  • 31. Progressivism: Socialism Begins in America The origins of progressivism were as complex and are difficult to describe as the movement itself. In the vanguard were various agrarian crusaders, such as the Grangers and the Populists and the Democrats under Bryan, with their demands for stringent railroad regulation and national control of banks and the money supply. At the same time a new generation of economists, sociologists, and political scientists was undermining the philosophical foundations of the laissez-faire state with socialism and constructing a new ideology to justify democratic collectivism; and a new school of social workers was establishing settlement houses and going into slums to discover the extent of human degradation. Allied with them was a growing body of ministers, priests, and rabbis—proponents of what was called the Social Gospel—who struggled to arouse the social concerns and consciences of their parishioners. Finally, journalists called “muckrakers” probed into all the dark corners of American life and carried their message of reform, usually through government intervention, by mass-circulation newspapers and magazines.
  • 32. The Grange The National Grange is the popular name of the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry, the oldest general farm organization in the United States. It was established in Washington, D.C. on 4 Dec 1867, largely through the efforts of Oliver Hudson Kelley, a Minnesota farmer who was deeply affected by the poverty and isolation of the farmers he saw while inspecting farm areas in the South for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1866. He felt they had to unite and promote their interests collectively. The organization, which acquired the character of a fraternal society, provided lectures and entertainment for farm men and women. It also experimented in cooperative buying and selling of farm products and supplies and carried on educational programs, setting up Grange units for children as well as adults. In the 1870’s, the Grange was prominent in the broader Granger movement, which campaigned against extortionate charges by monopolistic railroads and warehouses, and helped bring about laws regulating these charges in some states in the upper Mississippi Valley. Although challenged, the constitutionality of such laws was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Munn V. Illinois (1877).
  • 33. Populism The Populist party was formed in the 1890’s at the culmination of a period of agrarian discontent in the United States. The party traced its roots to the farmers’ alliances, loose confederations of organizations that had formed in the South and West beginning in the late 1870’s and expanded rapidly after about 1885. The alliances advocated tax reform, regulation of railroads, and free silver (the unlimited minting of silver coins). In 1890, many candidates who supported alliance objectives were elected in state and local contests. Encouraged by these results, alliance leaders formed a national political party, officially the People’s party, but usually called the Populist party. At a convention in Omaha, NE, in 1892, the Populists nominated James B. Weaver of Iowa as their presidential candidate. Hoping to unite Southern and Western farmers with industrial workers of the Northeast, the party adopted a platform calling for government ownership of the railroads and the telephone and telegraph systems; free silver; a graduated income tax; a ‘subtreasury” plan to allow farmers to withhold crops from the market when prices dipped; the direct election of U.S. senators; immigration restriction; an 8 hour day for industrial workers; and other reforms. Many of these reforms or ideas were socialist ideas that had come from Europe. In the election of 1892, Weaver received more than a million popular votes and 22 electoral votes, but the Democratic candidate, Grover Cleveland, won the

  • 45. Scientific Discoveries of the Bible Natural Selection Charles Darwin, a 19th century English naturalist, argued that natural selection guides evolutionary change. Darwin’s contemporary Alfred Russel Wallace, another English naturalist, stated a similar theory of evolution independently of Darwin. The theory of natural selection is based on the idea that living things are in constant competition for limited but essential resources in their environments— such as food, places to hide, and opportunities to breed. Accordingly, natural selection favors any trait that helps an organism or its offspring to survive. For example, the daring shown by birds in the place of a predator near the nest involves the risk of death. Nonetheless, natural selection compensates the risk by increasing the offspring’s chances of survival. In 1859, Darwin published his views in On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, and a major controversy was immediately sparked between theologians and scientists. Even scientists argued with each other over how the traits Darwin thought were subject to natural selection could be inherited. Ironically, an Austrian priest, Gregor Mendel, published genetic principles in 1866 that could have settled the problem, but Mendel’s work was not appreciated until 1900.

She took up her father’s interest in mathematics and physics; and after her early schooling, she went to Paris where she met Pierre Curie in 1894. They married on 25 Jul 1895, and began a scientific partnership that soon earned them international fame. In 1898, the Curies announced the discovery of the chemical elements polonium and radium. In 1903, the Curies and Henri Becquerel shared the Nobel prize for physics for their discovery of radioactivity. On 19 Apr 1906, Pierre was struck by a horse-drawn carriage and killed. Marie carried on with her scientific work and became the first woman ever appointed to teach at the Sorbonne. In 1911, she was awarded the Nobel prize for chemistry for isolating pure radium. She died of leukemia, caused by exposure to radiation during her work on 4 Jul 1934. Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity challenged all conventional ideas about time. One of the cornerstones of this theory is that the speed of light is the same for all observers. A consequence of this rule is that time is not constant: clocks run at different rates for different observers depending on the relative motion of the clocks and observers. For example, it appears to an observer with a clock at rest
  • 65. Radiation and Relativity (cont’d) on the surface of the Earth that the clock in a spaceship passing by at high speed runs slower than the stationary, Earthbound clock. Likewise, the observer on the spaceship sees the Earthbound clock running slower. This effect is called time dilation. Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicted that clocks run slower in the presence of a gravitational field. Thus a clock in space runs faster than an identical clock on Earth, where gravity is stronger. Both of Einstein’s predictions concerning time dilation have been experimentally confirmed. Today scientists no longer consider time as an independent, constant entity but as one aspect of an interdependent space-time continuum. They know that the time measured by a clock depends on where the clock is and how fast it is moving in relation to the observer.
  • 66. The Age of Idealism (1775-1850) There were three phases of German literature in the late 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. They were Storm and Stress (Sturm und Drang), classicism, and romanticism. Each emphasized idealism rather than realism. Writers of the Storm and Stress period were interested in the ideals of friendship, freedom, and the fatherland. The intellectual leader of this brief phase was Johann Herder. His insights about literature, architecture, and cultural evolution influenced not only his own generation but also the followers of classicism and the advocates of romanticism who came after him. The foremost representatives of Storm and Stress were Johann Schiller and Johann Göthe. For them, the movement served only as the first step in their development into the chief writers of German classical idealism. Schiller produced a series of plays expressing the ethical and intellectual values of the age. They marked him as one of the finest German dramatists. Göthe became the greatest writer in German literature. He produced enduring dramatic monuments to German classicism and humanism in Iphigenia in Taurus

Faust, a great poetic drama, examines the problem of good and evil. German romanticism sprang from foreign as well as native roots. It rejected some of the ideals of classicism and retained others of Storm and Stress. Emphasizing individualism, it explored the subconscious and the unconscious. Some of the romanticists were merely critics, but others were essentially creators, especially of lyric poems and short stories. A number of writers, such as the Grimm brothers, collected popular poetry and tales. Two of the latest and greatest romanticists were Eduard Morike and Heinrich Heine.

  • 69. Trends in the Arts in the Late 1800s Painting Many artists of the late 1800’s experimented with making their work more abstract and less related to real objects. Impressionism Impressionism painters experimented with showing their impression of an object, rather than making a realistic representation. The artists focused on light and color, and tried to capture a scene as it might have appeared at a glance. Post-impressionism The post-impressionists experimented with vivid colors and distorted images. Expressionism The expressionists looked for ways to express intense emotion in their work. Cubism The cubists painted natural shapes as geometrical forms. Music Musicians of the late 1800’s followed trends set by Romantics and nationalistic composers. The music dramas of Richard Wagner influenced later composers. Some composers of the early 1900’s tried to create in music what the impressionist painters were attempting on canvas. Literature and Drama Many writers in the late 1800’s began to write about social problems and the lives of ordinary people. This new trend was called realism because writers tried to make their descriptions true to life. In plays of the late 1800’s, characters began to speak in everyday language, rather than poetry.

The Radicals put forth their own plan of Reconstruction in the Wade–Davis Bill, which Congress passed on July 2, 1864; it required not 10 percent but a majority of the white male citizens in each Southern state to participate in the reconstruction process, and it insisted upon an oath of past, not just of future, loyalty. Finding the bill too rigorous and inflexible, Lincoln pocket vetoed it; and the Radicals bitterly denounced him. During the 1864–65 session of Congress, they in turn defeated the president's proposal to recognize the Louisiana government organized under his 10 percent plan. At the time of Lincoln's assassination, therefore, the president and the Congress were at loggerheads over Reconstruction.

A former representative and a former senator, he understood congressmen.

Wade assured the new president on the day he took the oath of office. “By the gods, there will be no trouble running the government.”
  • 75. Black Codes or Jim Crow Laws The black codes had their roots in the slave codes that had formerly been in effect. The premise behind chattel slavery in America was that slaves were property, and, as such, they had few or no legal rights. The slave codes, in their many loosely defined forms, were seen as effective tools against slave unrest, particularly as a hedge against uprisings and runaways. Enforcement of slave codes also varied, but corporal punishment was widely and harshly employed. The black codes enacted immediately after the War between the States, though varying from state to state, were all intended to secure a steady supply of cheap labor, and all continued to assume the inferiority of the freed slaves. There were vagrancy laws that declared a black to be vagrant if unemployed and without permanent residence; a person so defined could be arrested, fined, and bound out for a term of labor if unable to pay the fine. Apprentice laws provided for the Detail “hiring from Sheet cover out” music of cover orphans for and other young dependents to whites, who often turned out to be of The their Celebrated "former Dandy Jim owners. from Some states limited the type of property blacks could Negro Melodies, as own, and in other states Caroline", blacks featuring were excluded from certain businesses or from the skilled Sung by the Dan Emmett (center) trades.

The Freedmen's Bureau was created in 1865 to help the former slaves. Reconstruction did away with the black codes, but, after Reconstruction ended
  • 76. Ku Klux Klan The 19th-century Klan was originally organized as a social club by Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1866. They apparently derived the name from the Greek word kyklos, from which comes the English “circle”; “Klan” was added for the sake of alliteration and Ku Klux Klan emerged. The organization quickly became a vehicle for Southern white underground resistance to Radical Reconstruction. Klan members sought the restoration of white supremacy through intimidation and violence aimed at the newly enfranchised black freedmen. A similar organization, the Knights of the White Camelia, began in Louisiana in 1867. In the summer of 1867, the Klan was structured into the “Invisible Empire of the South” at a convention in Nashville, Tenn., attended by delegates from former Confederate states. The group was presided over by a grand wizard (Confederate cavalry general Nathan Bedford Forrest is believed to have been the first grand wizard) and a descending hierarchy of grand dragons, grand titans, and grand cyclopses. Dressed in robes and sheets designed to frighten superstitious blacks and to prevent identification by the occupying federal troops, Klansmen whipped and killed freedmen and their white supporters in nighttime raids. The 19th-century Klan reached its peak between 1868 and 1870. A potent force, it was largely responsible for the restoration of white rule in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. But Forrest ordered it disbanded in 1869, largely as a result of the group's excessive violence. In 1869, a federal grand jury declared the Ku Klux Klan to be a terrorist organization. In January 1871, Pennsylvania Republican senator John Scott convened a committee, which took testimony from witnesses about Klan atrocities. Local branches remained active for a time, however, prompting Congress to pass the Force Act in 1870 and the Ku Klux Act in 1871.
  • 77. The 1866 Elections and the Lone Impeachment 1. The Radical Republicans won big victories in the election of 1866, gaining two-thirds majorities in both houses of Congress. In addition, the Republicans captured every Northern governorship. 2. The Reconstruction Act of 1867 established five southern military districts, each supervised by a military commander. Before being readmitted, each state had to have a new constitution and ratified by the voters that would create a state government acceptable to Congress 3. Congress acted to tie Andrew Johnson’s hands by passing the Tenure of Office Act and the Command of the Army Act. The former required Senate approval for the removal of any public official whose installation had previously required the President to issue orders as commander-in-chief only to the general-in-charge of the army. 4. The House of Representatives voted for impeachment, but the Senate failed to convict President Johnson of impeachment by only one vote.
  • 78. Blacks in Government The Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave the vote to all male citizens regardless of color or previous condition of servitude. Black Americans became involved in the political process not only as voters but also as governmental representatives at the local, state and national level. Although their elections were often contested by whites, and members of the legislative bodies were usually reluctant to receive them, many black American men ably served their country during Reconstruction. After the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, the 14th Amendment (1868) granted African Americans citizenship, and the 15th Amendment (1870) gave black men (but not women) the right to vote. In February 1870, Hiram Revels (Republican-Mississippi) became the first black senator, taking the seat once occupied by Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy. In December 1870, Joseph Rainey (Republican-South Carolina) became the first black representative. Several Southern states sent African Americans to Congress during Reconstruction. But later efforts by white Southerners to restrict black voting, often through violence and intimidation, resulted in the defeat of most black incumbents. After 1901 no blacks served in Congress until the election of Oscar De-Priest (Republican-Illinois) in 1928. By then, Washington had become a segregated city, and DePriest had to struggle even for his staff members to eat in the Capitol restaurants.
  • 79. The New State Governments and Keeping the Peace  Although most members of the reconstruction governments were white, many blacks held office, including fourteen representatives and two senators. Two other groups were influential—the carpetbaggers and the scalawags.  They faced the challenge of:  Supervising the construction of new public works  Combating the activities of organizations like the Ku Klux Klan  Congress guaranteed black suffrage in the Fifteenth Amendment and required ratification of that amendment by states yet to be readmitted to the Union.  Congress also passed:  The Ku Klux Klan Acts, which provided harsh penalties for violations of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.  Empowered the President to invoke martial law to protect the rights of blacks.  Gave federal courts jurisdiction over civil-rights cases.
  • 80. The 1868 Election and Corruption  Ulysses S. Grant becomes President and was a weak leader.  Graft and corruption dominated Grant’s administration:  The spoilsmen were northern politicians like Senators Oliver Morton and Roscoe Conkling, who opposed reform and aimed at enriching themselves by aiding special interests groups.  Two speculators, Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, persuaded Grant not to allow the Treasury Department to sell gold creating the panic of 24 Sep 1869—”Black Friday”  The Crédit Mobilier was the attempt of some stockholders of the Union Pacific Railroad to cheat the rest of the stockholders of that railroad company. The scandal also involved the sale of Crédit Mobilier stock at low prices to prominent public officials in return for favors.
  • 81. Reconstruction Comes to a Close The Republican regimes in the Southern states began to fall as early as 1870; by 1877 they had all collapsed. For the next 13 years the South was under the leadership of white Democrats whom their critics called Bourbons because, like the French royal family, they supposedly had learned nothing and forgotten nothing from the revolution they had experienced. For the South as a whole, the characterization is neither quite accurate nor quite fair. In most Southern states the new political leaders represented not only the planters but also the rising Southern business community, interested in railroads, cotton textiles, and urban land speculation. Even on racial questions the new Southern political leaders were not so reactionary as the label Bourbon might suggest. Though whites were in the majority in all but two of the Southern states, the conservative regimes did not attempt to disfranchise African Americans. Partly their restraint was caused by fear of further federal intervention; chiefly, however, it stemmed from a conviction on the part of conservative leaders that they could control African American voters, whether through fraud, intimidation, or manipulation. Indeed, African American votes were sometimes of great value to these regimes, which favored the businessmen and planters of the South at the expense of the small white farmers. These “Redeemer” governments sharply reduced or even eliminated the programs of the state governments that benefited poor people. The public school system was starved for money; in 1890 the per capita expenditure in
  • 82. Reconstruction Comes to a Close (cont’d) measures to safeguard the public health were rejected. At the same time these conservative regimes were often astonishingly corrupt, and embezzlement and defalcation on the part of public officials were even greater than during the Reconstruction years. The small white farmers resentful of planter dominance, residents of the hill country outvoted by Black Belt constituencies, and politicians excluded from the ruling cabals tried repeatedly to overthrow the conservative regimes in the South. During the 1870s they supported Independent or Greenback Labor candidates, but without notable success. In 1879 the Readjuster Party in Virginia—so named because its supporters sought to readjust the huge funded debt of that state so as to lessen the tax burden on small farmers—gained control of the legislature and secured in 1880 the election of its leader, General William Mahone, to the U.S. Senate. Not until 1890, however, when the powerful Farmers' Alliance, hitherto devoted exclusively to the promotion of agricultural reforms, dropped its ban on politics, was there an effective challenge to conservative hegemony. In that year, with Alliance backing, Benjamin R. Tillman was chosen governor of South Carolina and James S. Hogg was elected governor of Texas; the heyday of Southern populism was at hand.
  • 83. International Relations in Latin America The nations of Latin America share a common heritage that influences the nature of their relationships with other countries. For example, their policies toward European states tend to be the products of long colonial associations with Spain and Portugal, and more recent commercial contacts with Great Britain, France, and Germany. International relations within the Americas are influenced by the powerful presence of the United States. As early as 1821, the Monroe Doctrine established the self-proclaimed right of the United States to protect all Latin American nations from foreign intervention. The Spanish-American War of 1898, followed in 1905 by the Roosevelt Corollary by President Theodore Roosevelt to the Monroe Doctrine, imposed the right of the United States to intercede in Latin American affairs. The United States enforced this policy in the acquisition of the Panama Canal Zone; military occupations of Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic; intervention in Cuba; and incursions into Mexico. The Good Neighbor Policy announced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 improved inter-American relations.
  • 84. Homestead Act The Homestead Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1862, granted 160 acres (65 ha) of public land in the West as a homestead to "any person who is the head of a family, or who has arrived at the age of twenty-one years, and is a citizen of the United States, or who shall have filed his declaration of intention to become such." The homesteader had only to pay a small filing fee, live on the land for 5 years, and make certain improvements in order to receive clear title. The passage of the Homestead Act was the culmination of years of controversy over the disposal of public lands. From the 1830s on, groups called for free distribution of such lands. This became a demand of the Free-Soil party, which saw such distribution as a means of stopping the spread of slavery in the territories, and it was subsequently adopted by the Republican party in its 1860 platform. The Southern states had been the most vociferous opponents of the policy, and their secession cleared the way for its adoption.
  • 85. Battle of the Little Big Horn The Battle of the Little Big Horn (25 Jun 1876), also called “Custer’s Last Stand,” was the last major Indian victory in the Indian Wars of the American West. The Lakota, Sioux, and Cheyenne peoples resisted incursions of whites prospecting for gold on Indian land in the Black Hills of Dakota beginning in 1874. In 1876, the U.S. Army sent an expedition to subdue the Sioux leaders, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. On 24 June, COL George Armstrong Custer, commanding the 7th Cavalry, located their camp on the Little Big Horn River in Montana. Underestimating his opponents’ strength, he attacked them with a small force of about 225 men the following day. In the ensuing battle, Custer and all of his men were killed. Despite their victory, most of the Sioux had been expelled from the Black Hill by the end of 1876. The site of the battle is now a
