The Progressive Era saw Presidents Taft and Wilson push reforms, with Taft busting trusts as Roosevelt's successor but failing to continue all his policies. Wilson ran as a progressive, passing the 18th and 19th Amendments along with antitrust acts. However, both presidents opposed civil rights reforms and progressivism declined after US entry into WWI in 1917.

Ch. 13.3 the taft administration
Taft became president after being endorsed by Theodore Roosevelt. While Taft was an effective administrator, progressives were disappointed with his slow approach and his signing of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act, which raised some tariffs. The Ballinger-Pinchot controversy further angered progressives when Taft fired Gifford Pinchot. Though Taft brought more antitrust cases than Roosevelt, Roosevelt reentered the 1912 presidential race to replace Taft as the Republican nominee due to progressive dissatisfaction with Taft.

The document provides instructions for students to analyze documents related to the American Revolution and the resulting Bill of Rights. Students are asked to discuss a revolution comparison chart, analyze the Declaration of Independence by discussing important grievances, rank and discuss the importance of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, and note similarities between the English and US Bill of Rights. They will also take notes on essential unit questions about why political revolutions occur and when change becomes progress.
President John Adams
The document discusses John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the key candidates in the 1796 presidential election. It notes their diplomatic backgrounds and roles in the Declaration of Independence. The election resulted in Adams winning the presidency while Jefferson became vice president as the runner up. This established the system of the vice president position going to the runner up that was later changed by the 12th Amendment. The document also summarizes several events that occurred during Adams's presidency, including the Alien and Sedition Acts and Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, which challenged the constitutionality of the federal government's powers.
John Adams Presidential Term
John Adams served two terms as vice president under George Washington and was elected president in 1796. As president, he faced difficulties including a naval conflict with France and partisan conflicts between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. He signed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts into law but did not strongly enforce them. Adams lost reelection in 1800 to Thomas Jefferson and the two founders had a falling out, but later reconciled through letters.
Chapter 9 Launching the New Government
The document summarizes key events from George Washington's presidency through John Adams' presidency. It discusses how Washington established precedents for the presidency and organized the new government. It also covers the emergence of political parties under Washington and Adams, with Hamilton leading the Federalists and Jefferson leading the Democratic-Republicans.

By 1800, the Federalist party declined after Adams lost reelection to Jefferson in a contested election that had to be decided by the House of Representatives.
22 John Adams
During his presidency in the late 1790s, John Adams faced opposition from within his own Federalist party and signed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts to avoid war with France and appease Alexander Hamilton. The Acts restricted speech and immigration in ways that contradicted the Bill of Rights. In response, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison authored the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions arguing that states could refuse to uphold unconstitutional federal laws, a precedent that contributed to the Civil War. Adams also had to navigate tensions between Strict and Broad Constructionists over the scope of federal government power.

US History Chapter 7
The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government that lacked power to tax, regulate trade between states, or raise an army. This instability was exacerbated by economic troubles after the Revolutionary War. In response, the Constitutional Convention proposed a new Constitution with a stronger federal government consisting of legislative, executive, and judicial branches separated by checks and balances. However, some opposed this, fearing a loss of state power. The Constitution was narrowly ratified after compromises like equal representation in the Senate.

Middle passage
The document summarizes the triangular trade route between Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands during the transatlantic slave trade. Ships called "slavers" left British ports loaded with goods to trade for enslaved Africans on the coast of West Africa. They then forcibly transported the enslaved Africans, known as the Middle Passage, in inhumane conditions to the Caribbean Islands and Americas. Enslaved labor produced raw materials in the colonies like sugar, tobacco, and cotton that were traded back to Europe for manufactured goods, completing the triangular trade route that greatly enriched European countries through slavery.

Abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass advocated ending slavery, with Douglass escaping slavery and becoming a prominent anti-slavery speaker. Nat Turner led a slave rebellion that killed 60 whites in Virginia. Meanwhile, slave owners defended the institution of slavery by outlawing education for slaves and using their political power to prevent southern states from ending slavery.
Unit 6 notes 3
Political machines organized groups that offered services like jobs, assistance to immigrants, and community improvements in exchange for political support. The machines were led by city bosses who controlled judges, jobs, and politics through networks of local precinct workers and ward bosses. Tammany Hall was the powerful Democratic political machine in New York City led by Boss Tweed in the late 1800s. Though they provided services, political machines were often corrupt, using patronage to reward supporters with government jobs and graft to illegally profit from their influence.

Angel Nieves pled guilty to third-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 to 60 years in prison for killing Rafael Del Valle during an attempted robbery at a mini market in North Philadelphia in 2012. Nieves and another man attempted to rob the store but were confronted by the owner, who pulled a gun. Del Valle, an employee, then chased after one of the robbers but was shot by Nieves from behind. Nieves' accomplice's trial is still ongoing.

Unit 1 notes 2
The document outlines the key differences between the North and South in the United States prior to the Civil War. The North was more urban, industrial, and had railroads, factories, immigrants, and no slavery, while the South was more rural, agricultural, relied on cotton, had little industry and railroads, few immigrants, and legal slavery. It then discusses the Compromise of 1850 which admitted California as a free state but also strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act, causing tensions over the issue of slavery in new western territories to increase.
Unit 2 notes 2
The document summarizes key events and developments during the American Civil War. It discusses the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves in Confederate states and allowed African Americans to join the Union army. It also describes how the Confederacy and Union implemented conscription and dealt with dissenters. The economies of the North and South were affected differently, with the Union economy strengthening due to factories supplying the war effort while the Confederacy struggled with shortages and a weakened economy due to the loss of resources to the war and Union blockade of ports.
Unit 5 notes 1
The United States became the world's leading industrial power by 1920 due to its natural resources, government support of business, and large cities that provided cheap labor and markets. Key developments included the oil boom in the Midwest and Texas sparked by Edwin Drake's use of steam power to drill for oil. Henry Bessemer's development of the Bessemer Process to remove impurities from iron led to steel becoming critical to the economy and industries like railroads, bridges, and skyscrapers. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and helped develop electric power distribution, while inventions like the typewriter and telephone further advanced industry. The transcontinental railroad connected major cities, which grew significantly, and innovations like George Pullman's sleeper cars and later
Unit 2 notes 4
The Civil War resulted in significant political, economic, and social changes. Politically, it increased the power of the federal government and no state has attempted to secede since. Economically, the North's industry boomed while the South's economy was devastated by the loss of slavery and destruction of infrastructure. An enormous human and economic toll was taken, with over 600,000 casualties and both sides amassing over $3 billion in war debts. The war also ended slavery through the 13th amendment and impacted individuals like Clara Barton, John Wilkes Booth, and the challenges of Reconstruction.
Unit 6 notes 1

The document also examines the nativist sentiment against immigrants, the process of entering and settling in America, and the impact of immigration on industry and public education.
Unit 4 notes 2
The document summarizes key events of the American West in the late 19th century. It discusses the assimilation of Native Americans through the Dawes Act, the near extinction of buffalo by fur traders, and the Wounded Knee massacre that ended the Indian wars. It also outlines how the transcontinental railroad and Homestead Act encouraged settlers to move west to farm the Great Plains, and mentions the hardships settlers faced including droughts, blizzards, and attacks while the frontier closed in the 1890s.
Unit 3 notes 3
After the Civil War, former slaves went back to working in the fields through exploitative systems like sharecropping and tenant farming. The Ku Klux Klan emerged as a terrorist organization that used violence to intimidate blacks and Republicans in order to reinstate white supremacy and prevent blacks from voting. As scandals weakened the Republican Party's control, Democrats took back power in Southern states in the late 1870s. This ended the Reconstruction era and allowed Southern Democrats to restrict the rights of blacks through "home rule" policies.

Progressive Presidential Leadership
Theodore Roosevelt had a childhood marked by illness but became a strong advocate of physical fitness. He became a respected rancher after the deaths of his wife and mother on the same day in 1884. Roosevelt later served as New York City police commissioner, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and governor of New York before becoming vice president in 1900 and then president in 1901 after McKinley's assassination. As president, Roosevelt pursued progressive reforms and became known as a "trust-buster" for breaking up large monopolies. He left office in 1909 and later unsuccessfully ran for president again in 1912 as the Progressive candidate. William Taft succeeded Roosevelt as president but proved more conservative, angering progressives. Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1912 on
We The People, session viii, "Living Constitution" vs. Original Intent
The document discusses the rise of progressivism in the early 20th century and the debate between "living constitution" and "original intent" views of the constitution. It covers key progressive reforms under presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and the impact of World War I in expanding the federal government's economic role. It also profiles the influential progressive jurists Louis Brandeis and Felix Frankfurter and their impact on establishing judicial and regulatory activism. Finally, it notes how World War I ultimately replaced progressivism with a return to "normalcy" under later administrations.
Progressives in Government
Teddy Roosevelt served as President from 1901-1909. As a "trustbuster," he filed numerous antitrust lawsuits to break up large monopolies and ensure fair competition. He intervened in a major coal strike in 1902 to negotiate an agreement that increased miners' pay and established the right to unionize. Roosevelt also established many regulations and consumer protections relating to railroads, food and drugs, and the environment.
What’s your question2
The document discusses why the United States did not join the League of Nations after World War I. Henry Cabot Lodge and other Republicans opposed U.S. membership due to concerns that Article X of the League charter would require the U.S. to take military action according to the League's decisions without regard for American interests. While Woodrow Wilson strongly advocated for the League and American involvement after winning the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize, the Republican-controlled Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles that established the League. As a result, the U.S. remained outside of the League when it began operations after World War I.
Precedent georgewashington
George Washington set many important precedents as the first President of the United States. He established traditions like choosing advisors from different political parties to form his Cabinet, and not seeking a third term, setting a two-term limit that later became law. Washington also oversaw the development of the first two-party system between the Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton, and the Democratic-Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson.

Progressive movement new standards
The document discusses the goals and outcomes of the Progressive Era reform movements from the late 19th to early 20th centuries in the United States. It focuses on urban reforms, business regulations, antitrust laws, education reforms, and child labor laws. Theodore Roosevelt helped restore the presidency as a progressive reformer and promised a "square deal." His administration enforced antitrust laws and enacted regulations like the Pure Food and Drug Act to protect consumers. Woodrow Wilson later continued reforms through acts establishing the Federal Reserve, the Federal Trade Commission, regulating child labor and establishing the eight hour work day for railroads.

Usa 1919 41 revision booklet
This document provides an overview of key events and developments in America between 1919-1941, including:
1. After WWI, many Americans embraced isolationism and opposed American involvement in foreign affairs like the League of Nations. Tariffs were also increased in the 1920s to protect American industry and jobs.
2. The 1920s saw economic prosperity for some but also poverty, fueled by consumerism, racial tensions, and Prohibition. The stock market crash of 1929 led to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
3. In response to the Depression, FDR introduced the New Deal which included relief programs and financial reforms aimed at recovery. While successful in some areas, the New Deal faced opposition and did not
Progressive Era
The Progressive Era saw widespread reforms from the 1890s to the 1920s to address issues arising from rapid industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption. Progressives advocated solutions through government action and regulation to curb the excesses of big business, protect workers and consumers, and bring democratic reforms. Notable achievements included strengthening antitrust laws, creating food and drug safety agencies, establishing women's suffrage, and advancing workers' rights.
Ch. 13.4 woodrow wilson in office
In the 1912 election, Republican incumbent William Taft and progressive Theodore Roosevelt split the Republican vote, allowing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to win. As president, Wilson pursued a progressive agenda, reducing tariffs, establishing the Federal Reserve central banking system, and passing antitrust and child labor laws. His reforms expanded the role of the federal government in regulating the economy and addressing social issues championed by the Progressive movement.
Election of1912 5

Some key reforms included regulations on child labor, women's working hours, and food/drug safety. The movement gained momentum under presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson through trustbusting, conservation efforts, and establishment of agencies like the Federal Trade Commission. Women's suffrage was another major success, though racial equality made less progress.
Unit 1 how british colonists became american citizens
After defeating the French in the French and Indian War, the British imposed taxes on the American colonies to help pay off war debts without granting the colonists representation in Parliament. This and other laws like the Stamp Act and Quartering Act angered the colonists and led to protests and the eventual American Revolution. During the war, the Second Continental Congress governed and created the Continental Army led by George Washington. Key factors in the American victory included fighting on their home soil with local support, assistance from France and Spain, and Washington's generalship. After independence, the weak Articles of Confederation government was replaced by the U.S. Constitution of 1787, which established a stronger federal government balanced by state powers and protected individual rights.
History of the Constitution
The document discusses the history and key aspects of the US Constitution. It describes how the Constitution was ratified by all 13 original states and outlines some of the causes that led to its creation, such as the failure of the Articles of Confederation and the need for a strong executive. It then summarizes the three branches of government established by the Constitution - legislative, executive, and judicial. The document also notes that the original Constitution lacked a Bill of Rights but one was later added through amendments.
Unit 3

Unit 3
The document summarizes key aspects of the US Executive Branch, including the presidency, bureaucracy, and historical trends. It outlines constitutional qualifications for the presidency, presidential duties and styles of leadership. It also discusses precedents set by early presidents like Washington, challenges faced by Lincoln during the Civil War, and modern presidents from Teddy Roosevelt to Bill Clinton. The bureaucracy section outlines the White House staff, executive departments, and civil service system.
The Progressive Era
The Progressive Era began in the early 1900s in response to the immense economic and social changes brought about by industrialization. There was a rise of muckraking journalists who exposed issues in government and big business. Progressive reforms took hold at the municipal, state, and federal levels across four main areas: protecting social welfare, promoting moral reform, reforming the economy, and making businesses more efficient. Theodore Roosevelt championed these reforms as president from 1901-1909, pushing for regulation of big business and conservation. The split of the Republican Party over further reforms led to the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson, who advanced some progressive policies.

Urban problems
Overcrowded and unsanitary housing, inadequate transportation systems, and contaminated water supplies were among the major urban problems faced by growing American cities in the late 19th/early 20th century. Solutions to address these issues included establishing standards for ventilation and plumbing in housing, expanding electric streetcar and subway systems, and implementing water filtration and chlorination. Cities also worked to improve sanitation, reduce crime, and limit fire risks by creating sewer lines and sanitation departments, establishing police forces, and requiring fire-resistant building materials along with sprinkler systems.

The document summarizes key events of the Vietnam War, including Nixon's Vietnamization policy of withdrawing US troops while increasing bombing, the unpopularity of the war due to massacres like My Lai and protests against the invasion of Cambodia, the leaking of the Pentagon Papers, the last US troops leaving Vietnam in 1973 and Saigon falling to North Vietnam in 1975, and the war's legacy including over 58,000 US troops killed and a loss of faith in the government.
Unit7 notes4
The Tet Offensive of 1968 was a surprise attack by the Vietcong on several South Vietnamese cities during the Lunar New Year celebration. Though the US and South Vietnam won militarily, with over 32,000 Vietcong deaths, the offensive shook public support for the war as it showed the Vietcong was not close to defeat as had been portrayed. This caused US news anchor Walter Cronkite and others to lose confidence in the war, and led President Johnson to decide not to seek re-election. Protests against the war escalated amid rising violence, with the assassinations of MLK and RFK. At the chaotic 1968 Democratic Convention, Richard Nixon was elected after promising to restore order and end the Vietnam War.
Unit7 notes3
The Vietnam War led to the reintroduction of the military draft that required men aged 18 to 26 to register. Many men tried to avoid the draft through medical exemptions, university deferments, or other means. African Americans made up a disproportionate number of combat troops despite representing only 10% of the US population. Around 10,000 women also served in Vietnam mostly as nurses. Opposition movements to the war emerged on college campuses led by groups like Students for a Democratic Society who believed the government and corporations had too much control. Protests against the war increased with events like teach-ins and marches drawing thousands. As the war dragged on, divisions grew between those who opposed withdrawing troops and those who felt the US should
Unit7 notes2
General William Westmoreland led US troops in Vietnam and argued that the Army of Vietnam could not defeat the Vietcong without US support. He pursued a war of attrition to exhaust the enemy through casualties. US forces engaged in search and destroy missions that caused civilian resentment. The Vietcong effectively used guerrilla warfare with small, mobile groups and a network of tunnels, while the US relied on strategies like carpet bombing and Agent Orange spraying that failed to defeat the elusive enemy. As the human and financial costs of the war escalated at home, public support for the war declined due to the contrast between government messages and negative news coverage.
Unit7 notes1
The document summarizes key events in the Vietnam War. It details France's colonial rule over Vietnam until the 1940s when Ho Chi Minh led a revolt for independence. The Vietminh defeated France in 1954, dividing Vietnam along the 17th Parallel. Ngo Dinh Diem came to control South Vietnam but canceled elections to reunify. As communism spread, the US increasingly intervened militarily in the 1960s under presidents Kennedy and Johnson to support South Vietnam and contain communism, leading to extensive bombing and ground troop deployment.
Unit5 notes7
The document outlines several major economic and social reforms that took place during the 1960s as part of President Johnson's "Great Society" agenda, including the passage of tax cut and civil rights bills in 1964, the establishment of Medicare, Medicaid and education programs, and several Supreme Court cases that expanded civil rights and criminal justice protections.
Unit5 notes6
This document summarizes key events during John F. Kennedy's presidency, including early difficulties passing legislation, successes like the Peace Corps and increasing the NASA budget, ongoing issues of poverty and civil rights, and Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963.
Unit5 notes5
John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960 over Richard Nixon because people felt the US was losing the Cold War and Kennedy appeared cooler in televised debates. The Bay of Pigs invasion, in which the US backed Cuban exiles to overthrow Fidel Castro, failed and made Kennedy look weak. In 1961, the Soviet Union built the Berlin Wall to stop East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the US discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, brought the world the closest it had been to nuclear war but was resolved through negotiations.
Unit5 notes4
The document discusses several key terms from the 1950s during the Cold War era, including the GI Bill of Rights which provided benefits for veterans, the growth of suburbs as an alternative to overcrowded cities, the Dixiecrats political party formed by Southern Democrats opposed to civil rights, and the 1952 presidential election where Eisenhower defeated Stevenson despite Nixon's controversies. It also mentions the post-war baby boom, Jonas Salk's discovery of the polio vaccine, and the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case that ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
Unit5 notes3
During the Cold War period, fear of communism in the US led President Truman to establish a Federal Employee Loyalty Program and the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate individuals and groups with potential communist ties. The Hollywood 10 were imprisoned for refusing to testify before HUAC, and many others were blacklisted from their careers. Notable spy cases involved Alger Hiss being imprisoned for passing messages to the Soviets and the Rosenbergs being executed for sharing atomic bomb information with the Soviets. Senator Joseph McCarthy further inflamed tensions with unfounded accusations of communist infiltration, though his credibility declined when he bullied army witnesses on television.
Unit5 notes2
The document summarizes key events in China and the Korean War during the Cold War era. In China, the US-backed nationalist government lost a civil war to the communist forces led by Mao Zedong between 1944-1947. Korea was divided at the 38th parallel in 1945 with the Soviet-backed North and US-backed South. The North launched an attack in 1950 that was pushed back by UN forces led by the US. China later joined by fighting for the North, and an armistice was reached in 1953 leaving the peninsula divided along ideological lines.
Unit5 notes1
The Cold War began due to tensions between the US and USSR after WWII. The US was angry with Stalin for breaking promises made at Yalta and keeping the atomic bomb secret. The USSR wanted to spread communism while the US sought to contain it and give countries self-determination. This led to Europe being divided with an "Iron Curtain" between the Western democratic countries and Eastern bloc nations controlled by the Soviet Union. Germany was split into the capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany allied with the USSR.
Unit4 notes4
The document summarizes key events and changes in the United States during and after World War II. It discusses the Yalta Conference where Stalin, Churchill and FDR met to decide the fate of Germany after the war. It also describes the Nuremberg Trials where Nazi leaders were tried for war crimes and the US occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1952 where the US helped reform Japan. Additionally, it outlines changes in the US economy and society during this period such as increased jobs, migration patterns, the GI Bill and racial tensions that erupted in riots.
Unit4 notes3
This document summarizes key events in the US involvement in World War II against Japan in the Pacific theater. It describes major battles such as Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, and Leyte Gulf, where the US halted Japan's expansion and began to take back islands. It also discusses the bloody battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa as the US moved towards invading Japan. Finally, it covers the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which ultimately led Emperor Hirohito to surrender and end the war.
