Lecture 9Outline of Last Lecture Empire and the Great War- The Race for Empire- U.S. ResponseThe Great War and Aftermath- Preparation and the American Contribution- “Democracy” at HomeOutline of Current Lecture Looking at Study Guide (Lectures 1-8)Current LectureHistory 1378: The US Since 1877Chapters 1, 3, and 4NOTE: Be prepared to write in pen for the test, and a bluebook will be provided.Part I: Identification Terms (40 points)Six of the following terms will appear on the exam, of which you will need to address FOUR. Each will be worth 10 points, for a total of 40 points for the whole section. A good ID will be more than a sentence. It usually takes at least 4-5 sentences in order to respond to each ID, or about half a page. Be sure that you use relevant information from both the lectures and class textbooks. You will be tested on class material, so do not use Internet sources. Each ID should have two parts: a basic definition of the term including who, what, where, when, why, etc. and the significance of the term, or how it relates to a broader historical theme, event, etc. For example, if Sharecropping were a term, you would want to both define it and also explain the consequences of sharecropping, what it meant for ex-slaves, that it was part of the failure of social reconstruction, etc. HIST 1378 1st EditionFour Major Themes of Class: Capitalism/ Industrialism, Imperialism, Reconstruction, Social Reform/ Progressivism.Wounded Knee Freedmen’s BureauWorking Class Dawes ActOpen Door HaymarketEmilio Aguinaldo ProgressivismEspionage Act The GrangeWilliam Jennings Bryan The Great UprisingPullman Pure Food and Drug ActMark Twain W. E. B. DuBoisEugene Victor Debs OverproductionPopulists V. I. Lenin Surplus Capital Upton Sinclair Federal Reserve Act The Lusitania Part II: From the Readings (20 points)You will be given three terms from the material from As They Said It (chapters 1-2) and American Society since 1900 (chapters 1-2, but only through the end of “Buck Versus Bell”), of which three you will need to address TWO. These terms will be titles of specific selections from the two readers. You MUST demonstrate knowledge of the reading material and not simply try to respond based on lecture material. When explaining the significance of the term, however, you will want to connect it to broader themes/events from the lectures and textbook.As you read, pay attention not only to a summary of each term based on the content from the readers, but also the meaning behind arguments presented in the selections; be ready to explain the significance of each reading selection by knowing how each relates to the class material. It usually takes at least 5-8 sentences in order to respond to each term, or about 2/3 a page.Part III: Major Essay (40 points)Two of the following questions will appear on the exam. You will need to pick ONE and answer it thoroughly inabout three or four pages for a total of 40 points. Make sure you address ALL aspects of the question. Additionally, you need to write in essay form, with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Do notwrite one long paragraph. (Include primary sources)1. What were the three major issues addressed by the U.S. in the aftermath of the Civil War? Describe each and explain why was each important, including long-term consequences. Make sure you address social and economic changes that were taking place and use specific examples to support your arguments.2. Compare and contrast the industrial and agrarian uprisings that took place at the end of the 19th century. Identify the various organizations that developed, their goals, methods of resistance, and effectiveness. 3. Why did the U.S. pursue imperialism at the end of the 19th Century? Describe and explain the social and economic reasons behind imperialism and why imperialism was the solution. In addition, describe how expansion was pursued and give three specific examples. How did this affect the relationship between the U.S. and the world?4. The Progressive Era could be divided into two separate movements, describe the two types of progressives and provide examples of each. Also, identify long lasting consequences of progressivism.5. Describe the position of the U.S. during WWI. How would you evaluate U.S. “Neutrality” at the beginning of World War I, and how/why did that position change? Wilson said that the U.S. would enter the war “to make the world safe for democracy”—what did this mean? Also, how was “democracy” being conducted at home during the war? Give specific
