<p>The Hawley-Smoot Tariff was 68%</p>
<p>Name a few pieces of technology that ended the cowboy, open-range era of the late 1800s.</p>
<p>Railroads, mechanized farm machines</p>
<p>How did the Vietnam war ultimately affect US foreign policy towards communism?</p>
<p>barbed wire, (?) extended train lines better transport (?),</p>
<p>barbed wire was a definite cause, alonf w/ rrs … that’s all I can think of, if someone remembers something else, lemme know</p>
<p>What was the bracero program with Mexico?</p>
<p>EDIT: farm machines, too, and, on a non-technology premise, the introduction of sheep reduced grazing land to nothing, and farmers working the Great Plins beyond its natural limits made the land dusty and the topsoil useless (1930’s Dust Bowl)</p>
<p>The bracero program was in WWII when Mexico sent workers for a year to work on american farms and the US guaranteed transportation and decent living conditions. </p>
<p>Who was Citizen Genet?</p>
<h2>The Bracero Program was instituted in the early 1940’s under Presend Franklin D. Roosevelt; it was a deal involving US and Mexican gov. cooperation, bringing skilled Mexican workers into the united states to work in factories and what not (suffice the industry, while the US’s boys were out at war).</h2>
<h2>Now we complain about closing our borders–the irony.</h2>
<p>1.What’s the difference between a stalwart and a halfbreed?
2.What battle was the turning point of WWII?
(fairly simple).</p>
<p>This was during the Gilded Age … the half-breeds were Republicans who voted for Grover “the Good” Cleveland, a Democrat. I’m not sure about the stalwarts … I think they were pro-status quo, and liked the spoils system</p>
<p>What was the Tennessee Valley Authority?</p>
<p>Oh, WWII … that was D-Day, right?</p>
<p>When did US isolationism end?</p>
<p>“What was the Tennessee Valley Authority?”</p>
<p>It was a system of dams to provide electricity to the Tennessee Valley area, but it was highly-disputed because many people saw it as “creeping socialism,” not to mention that it took business away from utilities companies in that area. I don’t recall during whose presidency it was implemented, though…</p>
<p>“What battle was the turning point of WWII?”</p>
<p>It would either be D-Day or the Battle of Stalingrad.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure TVA was under FDR.</p>
<h2>United States Isolationism never ended. Ever since the time of washington and the farewell address the United States has remained isolated from the world. Then with Adams we became involved (XYZ affair). From Adams through embargo, the war of 1812, the mexican american war, the civil war, the mexican american war, the Big Stick Policy, and Wilson’s World War I we were heavily involved on the global scheme. The 1920’s was isolationist. THen, because of World War II we became involved, as well throughout the cold war. So the better question would have been “When did the Cold War end.” Even so, after it ended, we still were not isolated from the rest of the world.</h2>
<p>Stalwarts:supported Lincoln’s plan.</p>
<h2>Halfbrreds:were against Lincoln’s plan.</h2>
<h2>The Tennesse Valley Authority like the CCC was a new deal act under roosevelt which would help inflate the economy, that was now deflated (depression obviously).</h2>
<p>open question.</p>
<p>Well, the answer I was looking for was after WWII, when we finally stepped up in the postwar environment, but your answer is much more thorough.</p>
<p>What were the Lowell Mills known for (in their early years)? Where/what were they?</p>
<p>They (the mills0 were textile factroies that introduced a new system of labor managemnt. They used young women who were in their late teens to early twenties to work for very Low pay. By the time they reach a certain age, the giels normally left to get married, and an incoming group of teengae girls would fill their place. This created for a system in which pay raises/ labor rights would not exist beacuse of the temporary state of the workers. </p>
<p>whew. i hope i didnt leave anything out</p>
<p>Explain the counterculture in the 1960’s</p>
<p>“What were the Lowell Mills known for (in their early years)? Where/what were they?”</p>
<p>They were in Lowell, Massachusetts, and they gave young, single woman the opportunity to work in a factory (was it a clothing factory?) – I believe this is also what they were known for.</p>
<p>I think it was also important because it offered the girls educational opportunities in the evening and it offered a community as well as work.</p>
<p>In the '60s counter culture was dominated by the notorious hippie movement. They resisted the conformism of the '50s and the federal authority of the government (student protests). They were very much against the Vietnam war. Essentially they were the heirs of the Beats.</p>
<p>What was the same location that John Adams used to live in and near where Sacco and Vinzetti commited thier crime?</p>
<p>Yeah, y’all covered most of it … another thing was that, while later they had problems, the owners tried to avoid the worst characteristics of the English textile mills (like the 3rd world sweatshops of their day).</p>
<p>I can talk a little bit about the counterculture, but there will be some gaps … there were protests against the Vietnam War, women’s, black, and native american rights movements, (probably others, too, but I’m not sure). The 3 p’s were prosperity, protest against the Vietnam War, and the youthful population bulge (thank you Bailey). There was also the sexual revolution … Roe v. Wade, growth of Gay Pride (1st parade in 1970), and birth control. Also, a general skepticism of authority … ex. James Dean, Mario Savio of the Free Speech Movement in UC - Berkeley … The Weather Underground … ok, I’m done</p>
<p>Um, Massachusetts?</p>
<p>What state did Lincoln say he hoped to have God on his side, but had to have this state, and why?</p>
<p>Lol. I was lookin for Braintree, Mass. Lincoln had to have kentucky.</p>
<p>What did Richard Hofstadter call Woodrow Wilson?</p>
