<p>this thread was a little shaky because everyone had such obscure questions. But now it’s really helpful.
Anyways my question
What was the Wilson’s programs? What legislations did they produce?</p>
<p>“the Wilson’s programs”??
As in legislation under Wilson’s administration?</p>
<p>Wilson sought to tear down the “triple wall of privilege”: Tarriffs, Banks, Trusts</p>
<p>Trade Commission Act
Revenue Act of 1916(? - don’t remember date)
Underwood Tariff Act
16th Amendment decreased the need for taxes and high tarriffs</p>
<p>Federal Reserve Act - first functioning/successful bank organization by the federal government since andrew jackson tore down 2nd bank of US
1.something about a commision
2. 12 Federal Reserve banks that could issue currency and give loans to private ones</p>
<p>Federal Trade Commission created (maybe?)</p>
<p>and such…</p>
<p>and the clayton anti-trust act</p>
<p>yeah, I think I’ll call it a night too, see you guys tomorrow</p>
<p>oh it’s already 12? man i’m going to bed. Bye. Hope the people at a later time zone do more.</p>
<p>oi! how could i forget clayton? </p>
<p>ok…I’m out of here for tonight as well…it’s midnight…I still have a dbq to bs…and some articles to read! good thing I have nothing really important tomorrow…</p>
<p>goooood niiiiggghhhttt</p>
<p>Deus, you rock my world! (And if I could put your name in a funky font I would, but I’m not that savvy.)</p>
<p>2 questions about the bank…</p>
<p>what was the whole issue over the US bank in the 1700s/1800s. also what was the bank holiday, and why did banks fail during the great depression.</p>
<p>what was the nullification crisis?</p>
<p>what was the critical period? what was the nullification crisis? what was the bleeding kansas incident, what happened?</p>
<p>nullification crisis was the threatening of secession by SOUTH Carolina because of the Tariff of Abominations. Calhoum treatened secession with the argument of concurrent majority. The South wanted to **** with the Madison administration but instead the tariff was for products most frequently by southerners. Bleeding Kansas was basically who could make Kansas a slave state or a free state. It became a slave state, but cost many lives.</p>
<p>For whoever asked about the Camp David accords - </p>
<p>In 1979, Jimmy Carter brought Egypt’s Anwar Sadat and Israel’s something i forget Begin to Camp David, where they basically signed a peace treaty, but more like an agreement to try and stop fighting for a while. It was monumental because of the great conflicts between the two countries and religions. It broke down in 1981 after Sadat was assassinated by Muslim Fundamentalists.</p>
<p>Name the attitudes of the American public in the 1950s in response to the Cold War.</p>
<p>Since no one has asked a question, I will…</p>
<p>Q: What did the Nye Committee investigate?</p>
<p>why did the US experience a period of prosperity after WWII??</p>
<p>With troops overseas, unemployment began to decrease, which, in effect, pulled the economy up.</p>
<p>um, the united states may have been economically–materialistically–prosperous following world war 2, but the 1950s were known as an era of conformity and blandness, leave-it-to-beaver-esque corniness. we may have been financially well off but we were lacking the energy for new ideas and progress…</p>
<p>until kerouac’s On the Road was published, fueling the counterculture movement of the 60s :-)</p>
<p>…just fyi.</p>
<p>The Nye committee was an investigative commitee headed by Senator Nye to investigate corruption and business involvment in WWI I believe.</p>
<p>Question: Who was Henry Clay and describe his policies?</p>
<p>Henry Clay was a politician from Kentucky (Senator and more than once I believe Presidential candidate) in during the early to mid 1800’s known best as the Great Compromiser though he was a leading figure in other respects as well…
He was War Hawk before the war of 1812
He advocated the American System during the Era of Good Feelings which called for high protective tarriffs and government funding for infrastructure specifically roads (did he suggest the National Road? not sure).
He’s also known as the engineer of the MIssouri Compromise (I don’t feel like explaining this one, we’ve been through it) and the Compromise of 1850 which included a strict Fugitive Slave law to appease the SOuth, California as a free state, popular sovereignty in unorganized territory ( ithink, have to look this one up) etc.</p>
