<p>Upton Sinclair was a muckraker who wrote the Jungle about Chicago meat-packing industries … he originally meant it to bring attention to bad working conditions, but the uproar was mainly about the unsanitary and quite disgusting practices of the urban meat - packers … the president (Roosevelt, I believe) formed an investigatory commission, found it was true, and pushed some legislation (anybody remember the name) to help regulate it.</p>

<p>don’t think so.
It said slavery would not exist specifically in the territories. (but I don’t know if it was about future territories as well) It didn’t advocate complete emancipation. The reasoning was that slavery took away jobs for poor whites.</p>
<p>New question: What animal was slain by the illustrious Theodore Roosevelt (oh and what was his foreign policy called?)</p>
<p>I dunno, a moose? Big Stick Diplomacy.</p>
<p>It was called the Era of Good Feelings because the Federalist party was dead, and so it seemed sectionalism as well. Was the name accurate… in an electionary sense, yes… but really no. The south was constantly ****ed off about tariffs and stuff. Nullifcation and talks of secession don’t constitute as good feelings, do they?</p>
<p>his foreign policy was called the Big Stick policy…but not sure about the animal…(guessing bear?)</p>
<p>Oh, it was in Africa on his safari … lion?</p>
<p>Was it a LION, when he went hunting in Africa?</p>
<p>Erm…a lion? I remember from American Pageant that he went off to an African lion hunt after his second term. LOL.</p>
<p>What organization (still thriving today) did W.E.B. DuBois found?</p>
<p>Yeah, there were other reasons … Missouri Compromise is a really good example of sectionalism and compromise</p>
<p>It was actually a Rhino. It’s possible that he killed a lion, but I don’t remember that mentioned in any textbook.</p>
<p>I don’t think the animal question will be on the test…or will it?</p>
<p>What was William Jennings Bryan’s speech the Cross of Gold about?</p>
<p>new question: name some differences in opinion (is that the right word?) between Jefferson and Hamilton…</p>
<p>to pentasa’s q: maybe something about the free silver issue…i have no clue…</p>
<p>DuBois - NAACP</p>
<p>Pentasa: he advocated bimetallism in his presidential speech.</p>
<p>Jefferson was a strict constructionist. Hamilton was a loose constructionist.
Hamilton wanted a national bank. Jefferson didn’t.
Jefferson lived a long life. Hamilton was shot and killed by Aaron Burr.</p>
<p>Hamilton was a federalist. Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican.</p>
<p>wow…looks like I guessed correctly…</p>
<p>Jefferson - weak central gov, didn’t like the bank, strict constructionist, hypocrite, rich, favored poor, liked Aaron Burr for a time</p>
<p>Hamilton, strong central gov, was the bank, loose constructionist, born poor, favored rich, didn’t play nicely with Burr</p>
