3
2. How effective were the anti-trusts laws?
  • The Clayton Anti-trust act (1914) was better than

    the anti-trust acts were ineffective.

4
3. What gains did women make during this period?
  • They did get protections in the workplace
    (shorter hours, safer conditions) but most

4. What gains did blacks make during this period?
  • Very few. Progressives mostly ignored the civil
    rights issues.
  • W.E.B. DuBois, the first black Phd. in the US
    wanted fast integration of blacks into society.
  • Booker T. Washington, who started Tuskegee
    Institute for blacks in the south, believed that
    integration of blacks must progress slowly.

6
5. What were the short and long term effects of
Plessey vs. Ferguson the U.S.?
  • Short term it set back any civil rights gains
    made by DuBois and Washington, it reaffirmed
    segregation of blacks in society.

    participation in schools, politics and society as
    a whole.
  • It was eventually overturned in 1954 by the
    Supreme Court in the case of Brown vs. Board of

6. What changed the nation from isolationism to
imperialism and then back?

    island grabbing (Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, Cuba,
    Philippines)
  • Spanish American War and the building of the
  • Panama Canal, along with
  • Roosevelts Corollary (protection of Central
    American nations from European Bankers)

    its own internal affairs

10

    to be built
  • cable cars improved transportation
  • sewer systems improved sanitation
  • water systems improved water supplies and
    quality
  • police and fire departments were created to
    improve safety.

11
8. Environment concerns first took shape during
this period. Why?
  • The Industrial Revolution brought on much more
    manufacturing which produced enormous
  • volumes of waste products that were being dumped
    in rivers and streams and
  • smoke stacks were polluting the skies.
  • Politicians and concerned citizens began to
    change the waste systems and add laws to protect
    the environment.

12
9. What was The Jungle about?
  • Upton Sinclair, from an unreconstructed farm
    family in the South, went undercover to research
    the sanitation and worker abuses of Packingtown
    (Chicago). His novel, followed an overzealous
    immigrant, Jurgis, and his struggles to obtain
    the American Dream.

9. What was The Jungle about? continued
  • Pres. T. Roosevelt reads this novel and
    immediately orders an investigation into the
    meatpacking industry. This directly leads to
    passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the
    Meat Inspection Act. Federal Inspectors have been
    in meat processing plants ever since.

16
10. What was the difference between W.E.B. DuBois
and Booker T. Washington?
  • W.E.B. DuBois, the first black Phd. in the US
    wanted fast integration of blacks into society.
    He was instrumental in forming the NAACP in 1914
    in Niagara, New York.
  • Booker T. Washington, who started Tuskegee
    Institute for blacks in the South, believed that
    integration of blacks must progress slowly.
    Booker was born a slave and rose slowly into his
    educational background and realized how difficult
    it would be for blacks to advance in higher
    education. He was perceived as an obstructionist
    (someone who slowed progress) to the black cause.

17
11. What were the causes and effects of WWI?
  • M.A.I.N. Militarism-lots of new weapons to be
    used

  • Imperialism- get new lands for its natural
    resources to continue the industrial growth
  • Nationalism- be proud of your heritage and
    country.

12. Why did the U.S. try to stay out of this
(WWI) conflict?
  • Washingtons farewell address (keep away from
    European alliances)
  • It was another foreign war that didnt affect our
    land
  • we have our own struggles to deal with at home.

20
13. What caused the U.S. to get involved in WWI?
  • 1) Sinking of the Lusitania
  • 2) Zimmerman note
  • 3) our trading partners needed help
  • 4) freedom of the seas was threatened by the
    German U-Boats.

21
14. What happened to Russia during this period?
  • Russia pulled out of the war in 1917 and went
    home and had a revolution. Peasants revolted and
    killed their Czar (King) and his family, Czar
    Nicholas II. The Bolshevik Revolution replaced
    the monarchy with Vladimir Lenin as their leader.

22
14. What happened to Russia during this period?
(cont)

    the government)

23
15. What was the League of Nations and what were
its goals?
  • A group of nations that would hopefully prevent
    all future wars by negotiating and coercing
    nations to abide by peace treaties and
    agreements.
  • It failed miserably when the US did not join. The
    nations left in the League did not have the will
    to enforce its rules and treaties.
  • They were too weak and tired to fight another
    long war, so they let Germany rebuild under their
    noses.
  • The League of Nations later becomes the United
    Nations after WWII (the US joins)

24
16. What amendments were passed during this era?
  • 16th- federal income tax made legal (this
    replaced the tariff system as a money maker for
    the US)
  • 17th- popular election of US Senators.
    (previously selected by state legislators)
  • 18th- prohibition of alcohol. (fundamentalist/cons
    ervatives wanted moral improvement)
  • 19th- women suffrage (right to vote not denied
    due to gender of the individual)

25
It was time for the government to stop big
businesses from running everything. Progressives
make the Government more responsive to the
peoples needs.
  • Government- strong Presidents T.R., Taft and
    Wilson. 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th amendments.
    Extreme government intervention Sherman
    Anti-Trust Act, Interstate Commerce Act, Pure
    Food and Drug Act. Imperialism.
  • Economics- labor strikes, costs of war, rich get
    richer.
  • Culture- women get a voice, NAACP begins,
    education reforms, settlement houses, immigrants.
  • Geography- Spanish American War gains, WWI spoils
    and redrawing maps, Great White Fleet, Panama
    Canal, Ellis Island, Angel Island.
  • Historical- America deals different than Europe
    with its problems. A review of the progressive
    laws, were they effective, are they still around?
    This is the period of Henry Ford, the Wright
    Brothers, silent pictures, assembly lines make an
    efficient America.
