<p>Q: What are the provisions of the Wade-Davis Bill?</p>
<p>Q: What are the provisions of the Wade-Davis Bill?</p>
<p>It proposed that for a state to be admitted into the Union, 50 percent of the population needed to pledge an allegiance oath, and say that they had always been loyal to the Union (which was impossible to do without lying). Also, only those who had taken the oath could vote or hold offices. But Lincoln vetoed it and replaced it with a plan that only required 10 percent of voters to pledge the loyalty oath.</p>

<p>I’ll answer what I know…</p>
<p>Homestead Act - passed in 1862, it gave land to farmers who would move out west, cultivate it, and improve it</p>
<p>Northwest Ordinance - 1787, said new states would be equal to old states and banned slavery in the old northwest</p>
<p>Homestead Strike - workers in Carnegie’s steel industry protesting pay cuts and a 70 hour work week, scabs were called in and many of the workers attacked them, several died, police were called in</p>
<p>Credit Mobilier - 1870s, under Grant I believe, stockholders in Union Pacific railroad created the credit mobilier company to help build the railroad. They then sold stock to public officials and everyone benefited from it but it was really really illegal…yeah</p>
<p>Democrat - …Garfield? Cleveland? I dunno</p>
<p>Pan Americanism - a push for national pride? not sure</p>
<p>Gilded Age - was post reconstruction until Mckinley/TR…it was a period where everything appeared fine and dandy from the outside, economic booms, wealthy industrialists, not much political strife, but where in actuality, many were poor and it was not such a happy time period</p>

<p>The Northwest Ordinance also enumerated the requirements that a territory must fulfill before being admitted into the Union. or is this the land ordinance</p>

<p>What are the granger laws?</p>
<p>What happened in the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences?</p>
<p>Granger laws were laws put forth by the Grange (hah) regarding their wishes with the railroad. I believe they wanted more government controls on the railroad, which happened, but were eventaully deemed unscontitutional and overturned. How close am i?</p>
<p>Yalta and Potsdam are the big 3 (FDR, Churchill, Stalin), and they met at those places to talk about plans for both the war and postwar europe. Yes, no? I don’t know those as well as I should.</p>
<p>Yeah you got those granger laws down.</p>
<p>What was Roosevelt’s corollary to the Monroe Doctrine?</p>
<p>The Wabash case deemed that one of the Granger Laws was unconstituitional. The Granger Laws tried to regulate railroad prices, but since they tried to control interstate commerce, which was distinctly a Congress jurisdiction, they were revoked, I believe.</p>
<p>Yalta dealt with postwar Europe, but the delegates were mainly concerned with borders and postwar alliances. Potsdam ironed out how the world leaders will implement the plans drawn in the Yalta Conference.</p>
<p>The Roosevelt Corollary deemed that the United States was, more or less, policemen of the western hemisphere. This was implemented in 1904 in order to ensure that the United States had a legal foundation for their interventions in South American affairs.</p>
<p>Q: How did LBJ and Nixon approach the Vietnam conflict differently?</p>
<p>Roosevelt’s Corollary basically reaffirmed the authority of the Monroe Doctrine and said that the US would intervence on behalf of the Latin American countries, ie. they would assume all European debts for Latin America. That basically summed up Roosevelt’s “Big Stick” policy.</p>
<p>LBJ - Gulf of Tonkin incident set off the Vietnam War---- Gulf of Tonkin resolution gave LBJ a blank check, which let him use military force in Vietnam.</p>
<p>Nixon - Vietmization plan, where efforts were made to withdraw American troops from Vietnam and prepare South Vietmanese soldiers. Cambodia was also bombed in order to flush out Vietcong.</p>
<p>LBJ pushed for the Gulf of Tonkin REsolution, pushing for more troops to be deployed in Vietnam to contain communism. Nixon began a process of Vietnamization, which gradually pulled troops out. However, he did continue covert operations against North Vietnamese forces, such as bombings in Cambodia.</p>

<p>1.Why was Wilson considered an idealist?</p>
<p>Wilson naively believed that a League of Nation could be formed with many of the world powers. However, his own Senate refused to ratify even the Treaty of Versailles. But his efforts weren’t in vain; the League of Nations set the foundation of the UN.</p>
