a) Provide one piece of evidence that supports Morison’s position,

and explain how and why it supports his position.

The Crop-lien system kept ex-slaves subservient to rich whites by using

their labor without providing them with the means to rise out of the

poverty they were trapped in. This supports Morisons position that

Reconstruction was unsuccessful because it did not change the social

and agricultural structure of the South.


b) Provide one piece of evidence that supports Henretta et. al.’s

position and explain how and why it supports that position..

The Freedman's Bureau was the first group to advocate effectively for

ex-slaves' rights. They provided economic and social aid to newly

freed blacks. This supports Henretta's position because she claims that

reconstruction policies in the North stimulated positive changes in the

South, and the Freedman's Bureau was a major success of

reconstruction.


b) Provide one piece of evidence that supports either Morison’s

position or Henretta et. al.’s position and explain how and why that

evidence supports one or the other’s point of view.

The Jim Crow laws created by the new Southern governments

restricted blacks in their everyday lives and didn’t allow them to

participate politically, retaining the same racist men in power. This

supports Morison's position because the Reconstruction governments

did give the ex-slaves the freedom they should receive as citizens.


a) How does the above account differ from southern perceptions of slavery prior to 1793?

Prior to 1793, slavery was a norm in society that both the north and the South participated in

for economic means that helped their development. In 1837, slavery affected the fate of the

Southern states and the power the South would gain politically.


b) Identify a specific event that might have led Calhoun to take this

position.

The Missouri Compromise set a line to determine the fate of slavery in

the states. Everything below the 36-30 line was a slave state. This

caused much controversy during the introduction of new states which

conflicted with popular sovereignty ideals.


c) Cite one specific example of something that fueled strong

emotion over slavery in the middle decades of the 19th c., and

explain how it increased sectional tension.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act effectively nullified the Missouri

Compromise, instituting popular sovereihnty in the new states. Due to

voter fraud, there was violence and competition in Kansas, earning

the event the title, "Bleeding Kansas". This symbolized the sectional

tensions prevalent between the US states.

Period 5: LEQ

To what degree and in what ways did the Civil War and

Reconstruction alter the political, economics, and social fabric of

American society?

Although the Civil War and Reconstruction produced many

advancements in politics due to the Dred Scott case and the new

amendments, the economic and social aspects of society fell short

due to the unfair system of sharecropping and failure of the

Freedmen's Bureau

politicians based off personal preference and political alliance

b) Explain the system that the civil service system was designed to

replace.

-Spoils System, a system in which politicians, like Jackson, chose

unqualified friends for his cabinet and other federal positions.


c) Cite and explain one specific example of corruption in the Gilded

Age at the national level.

-Big businesses and monopolies, such as Andrew Carnagie's steel

company. Greed and corruption overcame the business world due to

monolpies and big buisness ideals.

Period 6: DBQ

federal government. Evaluate the degree of success their effort attained.

Gilded Age such as poverty and unfair working conditions, they successfully

a) Explain what era Harding was calling for a return to in the above passage, and support

your choice.

Harding wants to return to the era of normalcy and sustainment in triumphant nationality.

He wants to cease the revision of human nature and does not want to stop the fundamental

laws of life and its acquirements. Harding believes that America does not need everything it is

going through (WWI), and wants to call for self-sufficiency to mend the current issues present.


b) Explain the change in foreign policy that Harding is proposing in the above passage.

"...not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality." Harding

wants to focus on the United States rather than the foreign countries of the world, because

he believes that the US is not in a good place right now in terms of its own status. Since its own

status is awful, according to him, they should not assist foreign countries because he wants to

help himself.


c) Explain Harding’s position on Progressive reform.

Harding supports Progressive reform. Although he is primarily focused on the needs of the US,

he firmly believes it must change from its current state. He wants people to alter themselves in

order to progress for themselves and their country. He wants the United States to return to its

former state, which is supported in part by the Progressives who wanted to improve society.


a) Explain the reasons for the decrease in immigration between 1911 and

1920.

Between 1911-1920 there was a significant decrease in immigration to the

U.S. due to the sinking of the Lusitania by German U-Boats. After the sinking

of America's ship, developed strict immigration policies. Another contributor

the decrease if immigration during this period due to the Red Scare and the

fear of communism being spread to the U.S. Americans

also became xenophobic, which is the fear of immigrants/immigration.


b) Explain the reasons for the decrease in immigration between 1921

and 1930.

The Immigration Act of 1921 limited the number of immigrants that the

U.S. could admit from each country. The Immigration Act of 1924 set

a quota for immigration, which decreased immigration from 3% to

2%. These two acts combined with the nativist mentality of the era

contributed the rejection of immigrants to come to the U.S., and the

constant decline of immigration.


c) Explain the reasons for the decrease in immigration between 1931

and 1940.

The Great Depression called for a decrease in

employment opportunities, which turned many immigrants away from

the U.S. The New Deal Programs created to benefit citizens of

America excluded immigrants that faced the same dilemmas. The

Great Depression was a time where the federal government focused

on aiding the citizens of American rather than assisting those who

were foreigners.

Period 7: LEQ

Analyze the ways in which reformers during the Progressive Era attempted to improve life

for the average Americans through the regulation of big business, the democratization of

the political process, and the institution of social welfare between 1900 and 1920, and

assess the degree to which these efforts were successful.

Thesis -

Although the United States was recovering from World War I, they still managed to make

effective, lasting strides in the regulation of business through various strikes, African American

rights in the development of the NAACP, and assistance in the women's movement with the

creation of the 19th Amendment.
