<li>Glorious Revolution drove colonial society toward rebellion. The “Glorious Revolution in New England” occurred following the bloodless coup in Europe, as an imitation, in which colonists drove Stephen Andros, the newly appointed governor of the Dominion of New England (a royal colony established from a conglomeration of CT, NH, MA, VT, RI, and I bleieve New York and New Jersey as well) through the streets of Boston and reestablishing power for the origianl colonial governments. Other similar revolutions took place when King James II put several colonies under royal control to maintain order and enforce the Navigation Acts.

1624

<p>Taft-Hartley Act was passed after the Second World War. Pretty much a result of the second red scare. It was against labor unions. There couldn’t be an closed shops(the one that you have to be in the union to work) anymore, and the union leaders had to take oath that they weren’t related to any communists.
My question
list the main incidents or legislations for the first and second Red Scare</p>

1625

<p>umm…first red scare occurred during the twenties:
*Sacco and Vanzetti trial in which, with a weak prosecution, two individuals were executed for murder mainly because they were Italian immigrant anarchists
*Admiral (don’t know first name) Palmer led the mass arrest of hundreds of suspected communists and anarchists.
*a few hundred suspected communists were deported on the Buford otherwise known as the “Soviet Ark” to Russia</p>

<p>Second Red Scare is McCarthyism right? I barely went over that…</p>

<p>My brain is melting…I’ll think of a question in a bit…</p>

1626

<p>umm…Explain the significance of Poland in terms of US-Soviet relations at the very beginning of the COld war</p>

<p>How was the atlantic charter similar to the fourteen points? HOw was it different?</p>

1629

<p>The Atlantic Charter was similar to The Fourteen Points because it outlined goals for the end of the war (political goals, that is). I think it also called for the establishment of an international peacekeeping organization (NATO), which was similar to the League of Nations. </p>

<p>I’m not sure specifically how it was different. Can someone else answer that?</p>

<p>What happened when the US intervened in Guatemala in 1954?</p>

1631

<p>Point of clarification about the Atlantic Charter - I believe the organization it created was the United Nations, not NATO</p>
