<p>wade davis bill: passed by radical republicans in congress; lincoln didnt want it passed; um…during beginning of reconstruction (1860s?), it was vetoed by lincoln. </p>
<p>why did the U.S. policy of detente end?</p>
<h2>It’s ostensible that Henry Clay was the paramount of compromises–with his affirmation in the Missouri Compromise (c.1820), as well as the acclaimed Compromise of 1850–which basically eased tension between the free soilers and abolitionists (northerners) with the south. On the contrary, in terms of the Great Compromise or Connecticut Compromise–Roger Sherman was the individual that led the notion that states with a larger population recieve more representation. Obviously, it never passed–but the Virginia plan (house of representatives) and the New Jersey Plan (senate) were.</h2>
<h2>In terms of the detente–basically was an ease of tensions. This was seen with Nixon, and subsequent presidents that identify relations with the Peoples Republic of China and the Soviet Union.</h2>
<p>Question(s):
1.Describe Henry Clay’s American system.
2.What was the Crittendan Compromise?
3.John Brown’s ________massacre instigated bleeding Kansas, and perhaps greater sectional discord, which would lead to the civil war.</p>
<p>Henry Clay’s American system: reflected economic nationalism of the Era of Good Feelings; basically western farmers would feed northern workers, who manufactures the goods from raw materials produced from southern plantations. Result: economic self sufficiency. Because of this new idea, transportation (roads, canals, and eventually railroads) grew rapidly in the 19th century</p>
<p>Crittenden compromise: last attempt by Senator Crittenden, under Buchanan (serving as lame duck president) to save the Union; proposed an amendment that guaranteed slavery in all new territories below the 36 30 parallel. Lincoln rejected it because it violated the Republican platform that slavery could not be extended to new territories</p>
<p>John Brown attacked a proslavery farm at Pottawatomie Creek in retaliation for proslavery forces attacking free soil town of Lawrence (damn i had to look that one up; i hope we dont need to know that specific)</p>
<p>Detente was an ease of tensions, and was moved foward by the progression of the SALT II treaty; however it ended when USSR invaded Afghanistan, which resumed arms buildup on both sides</p>
<p>What was the major incident that marked Carter’s failed presidency?</p>
<h2>Carter’s failed marked as a president was his humanitarian ideal. He was a prig, and a bit of a softee. Nevertheless, the main incident involved the Shah of Iran, and the hostage situation that precipitated.</h2>
<p>Question:
1.Who was Helen Hunt Jackson?
2.Describe the fundamentals of Turner’s “Frontier Thesis.”</p>
<p>US diplomats were taken as hostages in Iran after the Islamic Revolution.
Really curious question: How is Reagan still loved even after his terrible failure in economics and his conservative policies?
Real question:
Wilson’s moral diplomacy includes paying for the panama canal and _____________ etc. It resembled <strong><em>'s </em></strong>_ because it _______</p>
<p>Well, if you can’t answer it:
1.Helen Hunt Jackson wrote “I buried my Heart at Wounded Knee.” It basically describe the immorality of what the US was doing to the Native Americans–annihilation, which in turn gave way to the Dawes Act and assimilation.</p>
<h2>2.Frederick Jackson Turner, basically justified Manieft Destiny and the significance and importance of the west.</h2>
<p>I believe you’re talking about Dollar Diplomacy (originated with Taft), which basically warded off the “Tedd-i-nator’s” Big Stick millitary Policy. In relation to the panama canal, we helped the native panamanians by providing money and aid–though no military force. Eventually, instead of doing “business” with the Columbians who currently had control of the land (charged too much for the canal), we negotiated with Panama instead, after they warded off the Colubians. This is comparable to the Britisih with the Suez Canal. Hm, elucidate if need be.</p>
<p>Question(s):
1.Who was Aaron Burr? Elucidate.
2.Where did Davy Crocket die–supposedly?
3.What was FDR’s Court Packing proposal?
(simple questions).</p>
<ol>
<li>Aaron Burr-all I know is that he was a Federalist…an enemy of Hamilton’s because he believed that Hamilton’s bad mouthing caused him to lose the election for NY state governor…thats why he killed Hamilton in a pistol duel. I think he also tried to seceded but forgot with who.<br></li>
<li>No idea</li>
<li><p>FDR was frustrated that congress and the court wouldnt let him pass some New Deal legislation…I forgot specifically which ones but one was on giving farmers subsidies to lessen production. He proposed that up to 6 new judges can be appointed for any judge over the age of 70. It was turned down </p></li>
<li><p>To what extent was Monroe’s presidency “an era of good feelings”</p></li>
<li><p>Compare the policies of Johnson in Vietnam to those of Eisenhower’s and Kennedy’s (from AMSCO book…not sure how to answer it)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Wow, this thread got long. O__o</p>
<p>1.Who was Aaron Burr? Elucidate.</p>
<p>Aaron Burr killed Hamilton in a duel. He lost the election for governor in NY and blamed Hamilton. There was the Burr conspiracy too, but I’m not quite sure what it was. </p>
<p>2.Where did Davy Crocket die–supposedly?</p>
<p>He supposedly died at the Allamo. </p>
<p>3.What was FDR’s Court Packing proposal?</p>
<p>FDR proposed that new judges be appointed for every judge over 70. He was angry that the conservative judges would not retire to make way for his New Deal programs.</p>
<p>Edit: Whoops, already answered. </p>
<p>Oh, and I looked up the Burr Conspiracy. Burr attempted to detatch the western states and the Louisiana territory from the Union.</p>
<p>1. To what extent was Monroe’s presidency “an era of good feelings”</p>
<p>There was no major rivalry between political parties. In fact, I think there was only one party, the Democratic-Republicans, after the Federalists basically commited political suicide at the Hartford Convention. </p>
<p>2. Compare the policies of Johnson in Vietnam to those of Eisenhower’s and Kennedy’s (from AMSCO book…not sure how to answer it)</p>
<p>AMSCO book? </p>
<p>Well, anyways, Johnson used much more executive power in vietnam. While Eisenhower and ennedy insisted that they were sending “military advisors”, Johnson turned it into a full-fledged war, using the someone dubious Gulf of Tonkin incident as justification. He was then basically given a blank check to do as he wished and he greatly increased military power in Vietnam.</p>
<p>New Question:</p>
<p>Who was Chiang Kai-Shek?</p>
<p>Edit: to commenorate myself for posting 42 times (I’m a big Hitchhiker’s Guide fan ^_~)</p>
<p>Yes, but besides the fact that Burr killed Hamilton in a duel, it is necessary to know that he was Jefferson’s running mate at the turn of the century. He was supposed to be the vice president, but he rigged the ballots–and tied Jefferson. Jefferson became president. Hamilton called him a liar/crook/cheat. Hamilton got “shanked” so to speak by Burr. Burr, then fled to New Orleans and tried to instigate a revolt against the gov. He failed, and was tried.</p>
<p>Oh, and in regards to Frederick Jackson Turner:</p>
<p>He wrote about how democracy was made possible in America by the frontier. The open frontier led to individualism, self-reliance, etc. ans was a means of escape from industrialization.</p>
<p>Chaing Kai-Shek, he was the orginal leader of China, who fled to Taiwan, and wished to established a “New China.” The reason for exodus, was due to the rise of Mao De Zedong, and The Peoples Republic of China. The United States, Commu-phobes, discredited The People’s Republic, and negotiated with Kai-Shek. Then Nickson came to power, and established what is called…“Ping Pong Diplomacy;” recognizing Mao De Zedong and the communist china.</p>
<p>Question:
1.Who devised the New Freedom Program? What did it constitute?
2.Who wrote “A Century of Dishonor?”</p>
<p>1.Who devised the New Freedom Program? What did it constitute?</p>
<p>The New Freedom program was Wilson’s Progressive trust-busting program. It included business, banking and farm reform. </p>
<p>New Question: </p>
<p>What was the Teapot Dome scandal?</p>
<p>2.Who wrote “A Century of Dishonor?”</p>
<p>Helen Hunt Jackson</p>
<p>I’m sick of U.S. History for once. I’m going to go do my Anatomy homework. XD</p>
<p>New Freedom was teh progressive program proposed by Wilson. It called for less federal intervention in social reform but sustained federal action in economic reform. Some notable achievements were the clayton antitrust act, which focused on breaking large trusts while friendly to unions, Federal Reserve Act, which provided for a system of money circulation, graduated income tax, Federal Trade Commission…etc. Overall harsher on business than T.R.'s New Nationalism</p>
<p>Teapot Dome Scandal: Harding’s secretary of interior took bribes from oil company and opened up lands in Alaska for development.</p>
<p>New question: what does Charles Beard say about the Founding Fathers and the Constitution?</p>
<p>What is NATO, and why was it formed?</p>
<p>north atlantic treaty organization-first peacetime military alliance joined by US. It was formed to defend democracy and combat communism. Represented the ideal of collective security after WWII and the permanent involvement of the U.S. in global affairs.</p>
