3:How did the idea of manifest destiny effect the growth of imperialism in america?
A: Manifest destiny was an Idea that came about in the early 19th century that stated that America was to grow until it stretched from sea to shining sea. This idea was interrupted by the civil war. After the war, time changed the idea of the U.S. being totally isolated, so it was only natural for manifest destiny to allow the U.S. to create colonies in areas other than North America
5:How does Senator Beveridges' quote (see book) explain the U.S. need to acquire territories.
A: Beveridge argued that the U.S. needed colonies for economic and philosophical reasons. The economic reason explained how the U.S. would set up its colonies: By establishing trading posts that would allow an area to trade with the U.S. and eventually become a colony. The philosophical justifications were the spread of democracy and freedom.

3: What were the unsaid rules of yellow journalism?
The unsaid rule of yellow journalism was to write whatever would sell. anything that would help a company sell more than another would be published. An example of this is when Hearst hired a painter to paint something that would inspire war and sell papers. When the paper couldn't find anything, Hearst told the painter to make something up. This backhandedness is what made up the foundation of yellow journalism.

3: How did America help or harm the Puerto Ricans? Did the good outweigh the bad?
America harmed Puerto Rico by disallowing it liberty, but helped it by offering security. In the immediate, the bad outweighed the good because Puerto Rico was in effect under military rule, but as time went on, the U.S. gave Puerto Rico enough wealth and freedom to make the Good outweigh the bad.

current events summary no. 3
Recently, the common theme I've seen in the culture of North Africa is the longing for its own Identity. Generally, North African countries have been struggling with countries that used to colonize them. For the most part, radical groups such as Al-Queida are pressuring North African countries to cleanse themselves of other nations. There is alot of conflict in this area. Almost all North Africans want to be rid of western civilization control, some want to be rid of all western influence, such as democracy. Racist Nationalists also want to be red of all westerners in general. Alot of self improvement has been going on in North Africa as well. One example is egypt attempting irrigation projects in order to be able to grow fruits and vegetables in the desert. While unrealistic, dangerous, and expensive, this project shows a desire to altogether better countries in North Africa.

3. How did Illinois, Wisconsin, and Oregon lead the way during the progressive era?
A: During the progressive era, several states led the way as models to other states. Illinois, for example, hired Florence Kelly to inspect factories’ working conditions. Other states soon followed suit. Wisconsin’s’ governor Robert M. La Follette. Also set an example to other states by limiting the power of trusts through anti-trust acts. Lastly, Oregon became a leader in progressivism by setting up a ten hour workday for women.
4. does this cartoon have a favorable or unfavorable view of Carry Nation and the prohibitionists? (see book)
A:I feel that this cartoon is against prohibition because of the way it shows fear to be the main tactic for prohibitionists. You see the bar tender crouched behind his shop in fear. You also see people in the background looking afraid. The wide spread destruction also distills fear of prohibitionists to the viewer.

5:If you were a woman during the progressive era, how would you get women to support you on issues of civil rights?
A: If I were a woman during the progressive era, I probably would push for education and the right to vote, because the winning of those to umbrella issues would lead to the rest being resolved. I would probably try to win support for these issues by sending out reports on how educated women earn more money, and often get jobs with more humane working conditions. I would also say that educated an educated women’s children are less likely to have to work. For suffrage I would probably say that the right for women to vote would give all women a say on what goes on in their community indirectly.

5. Why did W.E.B. Du Bois disagree with Booker T. Washington?
A: W.E.B. Du Bois agreed with Booker Washington as far as the idea of urging African Americans to work hard in the economy in order to get ahead. He disagreed, however, when it came to the idea of accepting their plight and dealing with discrimination. Du Bois wrote a book called The Souls Of Black Folk, which argued that blacks had the same ideals, hopes dreams, feelings and emotions as whites, and should therefore be given equal opportunities and rights as whites. Washington saying that blacks should deal with discrimination was sending the message that the discrimination was earned, which led Du Bois to oppose Washington on these points.

Q: Why did Wilson fail to provide for African Americans during the progressive era?
A: wilson failed to provide for African Americans for multiple reasons. One was that Wilson did not want to set this precedent. Not one progressive president had managed to provide for African Americans. Also, progressivism was largely targeted toward middle class whites anyway. Lastly, Wilson was a Southerner, and therefore most likey was prejudice against African Americans.
