<p>Does anyone know that act i was asking about: the one that gave land out to be farmed?</p>
<p>The Homestead Act? There’s also the Desert Land Act, but I think you’re talking about the former.</p>
<p>Are you guys just naturally good or did you study?</p>
<h2>Well, all year i kind of payed attention in class. My teacher issued a text book–far too cumbersome, and included unessential information. So, I went out and purchased an AP book; instead of reading the “issued text book” nights before unit exams, I’d just read sections of the AP book. Now, I’m just re-reading the book in its entirety, along with like 20 other subjects that i have AP’s in. Like BIO, come on fellas…vist the room.</h2>
<p>Q:_____<strong><em>developed the idea of Popular Sovereignity, and</em></strong>_______ardently supported it, especially seen in his clash with Lincoln for the Illinois senate position.</p>
<h2>tm2000:Well, your most likely referring to the Homestead Act of 1890. Though, there was also the Dawes Act, which was particulary aimed at spurring Native American assimilation.</h2>
<p>Q:_____<strong><em>developed the idea of Popular Sovereignity, and</em></strong>_______ardently supported it, especially seen in his clash with Lincoln for the Illinois senate position.</p>
<p>i think that Stephen Douglas was a big supporter of popular sovereignty and henry Clay developed it in the Compromise of 1850 (this might be wrong)</p>
<p>Is the second blank Douglas?</p>
<p>What was manifest destiny and what event diminished its support?</p>
<p>Q: how did the Populists and the Progressives differ in their supporters?</p>
<p>Manifest destiny is the idea that the U.S. is bound to spread all the way to the Pacific coast. Not sure what event diminished its support though.</p>
<h2>Senator Lewis Class coined the term: Popular Sovereignity, but otherwise you were right with Stephen Douglas Sozo.</h2>
<h2>Generally, Populist and Progressive were the same; both trying to advance the needs/wants of the people. Hm, favored anyone in particular–well, I’d say the populist party was focused more towards the farmers–William Jennings Bryan with his “Cross of Gold” speech, aimed at backing the american economy with silver, rather than gold–inflating prices so farmers could get out of debt. OK! So, progressivism helped everyone in general. Due to muckrackers (ie. Upton Sinclair) Teddy Roosevelt passed the Food and Drug Act. I mean, progressivism goes as far as to FDR and his New Deal with civilian conservation corp.</h2>
<p>Q:What was Specie Circular? (simple).</p>
<p>Not sure…support for manifest destiny might have been diminished by the opposition to the annexation of Texas and to the Mexican-American War</p>
<p>The anger over the Kansas-Nebraska Act “doomed” manifest destiny.</p>
<h2>Manifest Destiny: nothing diminished it except for the fact that there was no more room, which totally deflated Frederick Jackon’s “Frontier Thesis.”</h2>
<p>Q:______was the leader of the green mountain boys, and captured Fort Ticonderoga during the American Revolution.</p>
<p>Specie Circular was something done by Andrew Jackson. It involved the further diversity and apportionment of currency throughout the country.</p>
<p>Ethan Allen was the leader of Green Mountain Boys? I know he did something like that. I’ll always remember that name.</p>
<p>Specie Circular-issued by pres. jackson and required all land transactions to occur in gold or silver</p>
<p>Why was the know-nothing (American) party so unsuccessful? (not too hard)</p>
<h2>well yeah, Ethan Allen is some furniture store…all of those saturday afternoons wasted as a toddler. UGH! thanks mom, thanks.</h2>
<p>Q:What battle turned the tide of war against the Japanese during WWII?</p>
<p>battle of midway</p>
<p>Who wrote the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions, and what did they say?</p>
<p>The know-nothings were so unsuccessful because they were a secret political party…now that is REALLY stupid!!</p>
