History 1378: The US since 1877Dr. BuzzancoExam 1 Review SheetFall 2017Part I: Identification Terms (30 points)SIX of the following terms will appear on the exam. You will need to address THREE. Each will be worth 10 points, for a total of 30 points for the whole section. A good ID will be more than a sentence. It usually takes AT LEAST 4 or 5 sentences in order to respond to each ID. Be sure that you use relevant information from both the lectures and class textbooks. Each ID should have two parts: a basic definition of the term including who, what, where, when, why, AND the significance of the term, or how it relates to a broader historical theme and/or event. 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. Freedmen's Bureau Charles Conant Sharecropping “Social Darwinism”Dawes Act The Open DoorKnights of Labor Queen Liliuokalani The Great Uprising of 1877 Emilio AguinaldoHaymarket Affair Spanish American WarHomestead Strike Ida TarbellPullman Strike Margaret SangerThe Grange Triangle Shirtwaist FirePopulists Corporate Liberalism William Jennings Bryan The LusitaniaEugene Victor Debs Espionage Act Overproduction Camp Logan RiotsSurplus Capital Palmer RaidsA.T Mahan Edward Bernays League of Nations Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism Part II: From the Readings (20 points)BOTH of the following questions will appear on the exam.
