<p>I’ve heard of the Sat. Night Massacre, but I don’t remember it</p>
<p>btw: Who was one of the main participants in the bleeding kansas conflict, and where did this crazy guy show up a couple years later?</p>
<p>What did Brown v Board of Education do?</p>
<p>John Brown?
showed up at Harper’s Ferry…?</p>
<p>What was the IWW?</p>
<p>Haha…John Brown, if that’s whom you’re referring to. There’s a large painting of him, crazed and ready to bust some dumb suckas, in our capital building in Topeka. I don’t know where he “showed up” though.</p>
<p>A labor oganization… the wobblies.</p>
<p>Yeah, good tip from now on. If a question comes up that no one can answer, someone just ask a new one.</p>
<p>Brown v Board
declared that separate was not equal.</p>
<p>Nice … he was a weirdo … Brown v. Board outlawed segregation in schools in 1954 (under Chief Justice Warren) and overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896</p>
<p>John Brown planned, invaded, and failed at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia … what an oddball</p>
<p>^haha…that sounds much better than my explanation…(re: Brown v Board outlawed…)</p>
<p>Yeah, but what a badas$</p>
<p>so, what did the wobblies do? I honestly don’t remember … I didn’t learn my ABC orgs very well the 1st time around</p>
<p>Pendleton Act wasn’t trust busting I don’t think. I believe it made jobs in the government more competitive, by putting applicants through exams. I think it led to the Civil Service Commission.</p>
<p>Wobblies were the Industrial Workers of the World, or “I won’t works”, as they were dubbed. They were around from 1905-1920 and were one of the only groups that went on strike during WWI…I think? Correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>Eugene V. Debs helped found them too.</p>
<p>Google is famazing, here’s that painting I mentioned earlier </p>

<p>What was point #14 of Wilson’s Fourteen Points, and why did some people disapprove of it?</p>
<p>Wobblies = Industrial Workers of the World…
Socialist union that formed as a response to the “classist” nature of the American Federation of Labor. Lead by Big Bill Haywood
They advocated what they called “direct action” - strikes by the workers themselves, not negotiations with employers than only benefitted a few elite.
Oh…and lots of ppl hated them.</p>
<p>League of Nations. People disapproved of it because Europe is just…eww.</p>
<p>oh, odan, that sounds right … it was a reform bill that required gov. workers, mainly for the post office, to take written exams so that they were sure to have the merit to get the job</p>
<p>We were still very isolationist, and the charter said that the US was “morally bound” to defend a fellow country in the LN, so our autonomy was reduced</p>
<p>League of Nations…
Umm…they didnt disapprove of the League of Nations itself…They disapproved of Article X of the Treaty of Versailles which (not sure the exact provision) essentially took the power awway from Congress to declare war…</p>
<p>new q: name some of the New Deal Legislation…yes…big question I know…but I’m craving some alphabet soup! :D</p>
