RECONSTRUCTION AND REVOLUTION IN ASIA

49. Julius and Ethel Rosenburg were an American couple accused of acquiring intelligence on American nuclear development and providing this information to the Soviets. They were electricuted in 1953. Their trial in 1951 caused some Americans to realize the witch-hunt they had been supporting. :(

DEMOCRATIC DIVISIONS IN 1948

50. The Dixiecrats were a division of the Democrats resulting from the unwanted nomination of Truman (who strove for more black civil rights). They were mostly Southern Democrats who nominated Governor J. Strom Thurmond. Their platform: State's Rights.

51. V.P. Henry A. Wallace's new Progressive Party had these elements bunched together: former New Dealers, pacifists, liberals, and communist-fronters. He was liberal, which ,for him, equaled pro Sovietism.

52. Everyone was surprised by the results of the 1949 election's results. Truman had won. He got 303 votes from the MidWest, West, and South. He mostly appealed to farmers, workers, and blacks during his speech tour. These three groups were Republican wary.

HIKING THE TARIFF HIGHER

35. The Fordney-McCumber Tariff Law established the tariff rate of 38.5%. The president was authorized to reduce or increase duties. He had a limit, though, of 50%.

36. The high tariff course of Republicans, Harding and Coolidge Administrations, set off an ominous chain reaction. They raised the rate 32 times and reduced it only 5 times.

37. In response to the American high-tariff walls, Europe built higher barriers. These walls and barriers deepened the international economic crisis hole. Hitler would use this to his advantage.

JAPANESE MILITARISTS ATTACK CHINA

98. The West was occupied with "economic woes", so the Japanese took advantage of this and preoccupied themeselves with taking Manchuria. They hoped to close the Open Door policy shut. The international reaction was one of shock of the spontaneous violence after Japan had joined the League of Nations and signed other peaceful pacts. Many Americans decided to boycott Japaneses products and advocated for a blockade by the League supported by the U.S. The League had their hands tied, so the U.S. enacted the Stimson Doctrine in 1932. It stated that the U.S. would not recognize any territorial gains achieved through unjustified force.

99. It can be argued that WWII actually commenced in 1931 by the lack of security that came for the League's fear of using its economic and naval power to stop the Japanese.

HOOVER PIONEERS THE GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY

100. Hoover strobe to abandon T.R's take on the Monroe Doctrine, because he was a ture humanitarian. When he saw the affects of the U.S's depression on those under the Rio Grande he saw there was a need for some changes. He made a pact with Haiti in 1932 to ensure the extrication of American troops by 1934. In 1933, the last of the American soldiers in Nicaragua left, after 20 years of occupation.

And THAT is how the job should be finished :)

Stemming the Foreign Blood

From 1920-21==800,000 immigrants (2/3 from S & E Euro) came to Am. == Am.'s not so

happy.

Am's not happy = Congress responded to this flow with the Emergency Quota Act of 1921~3%

of a certain people in 1910 decided the amount of migrants to come in a year's

time. The Southern Europeans were fine with this b/c there were already so many of them in America during that specific year.

Eventually upgraded=Immigrat'n Act of 1924~instead of 3% of 1910 ppl, became 2% of 1890

ppl. AND excluded Japanese.

As one can imagine, the Japanese were not particularly fond of this = American hat rallies :(

Immigrat'n Act= end to an era that had welcomed 35 million New Immigrants~still left over:

communities of specific ethnicities that had a language barrier.

Language Barrier= difficult for workers to form Labor Unions (trick of employers).

=undermining of class and political solidarity.

1931== more foreigners left than had came.

America's sacrifice= tradition of freedom , opportunity, and future cultural diversity.

Suffering Until Suffrage

32.The war split the women's movement into two groups: progressive-era feminists who were pacifists and those women who supported the war. The pacifists were represented by the National Woman's party led by Alice Paul. The war supporters were represented by the National American Woman Suffrage Association.

33. The war momentum let President Wilson see the amount of work women had put into society for the war effort. He saw this as "a vital necessary war measure." The vote for woman suffrage went to the state level for gov't. The 19th Amendment was passed in 1920. It provided all American women the innate right to vote.

34. Congress affirmed, with the passage of the Sheppard-Toward Act of 1921, that it supported women's efforts in their roles as mothers. The Act provided classes instructing women on maternal and child health care.

Progressive Era Foreign Policy Acts

The Panama Canal Tolls Act of 1912~ repealed by Wilson 2 years later; had exempted Am's from shipping tolls=Brits really mad at unfairness.

Jones Act 1916~Anti-Imp, like Wilson; Philippines got territorial status and would be given independence whenever they could establish a stable gov't (30 years later)

Progressive Era Conservation/Land use Acts

The Desert Land Act of 1877~ the federal gov't sold dry land cheap iff the purchase would be irrigated in 3 years.

The Forest Reserve Act of 1891~ the president set aside forests as nat'l parks. the amount of saved trees was 46 million acres.

The Carey Act of 1894~ distribution of federal land to states to be irrigated and settled.
