APUSH Unit 5 Misc

This political cartoon was created to show wealthy business men compared to the workers, and how the business men needed the workers to make their businesses survive; it also shows how the workers were being treated. The people depicted in the cartoon are Cyrus Field, Jay Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Russell Sage, all of whom were very wealthy.

What does this cartoon communicate? ("The protectors of our Industries")

The point of this cartoon is to emphasize the importance of the farmer to the rest of the country. Although all the other workers help the country in some way they all rely on the work of the farmer to survive. The audience that the cartoon was intended for were western farmers. The cartoon was released during the Granger movement.

Riis, How The Other Half Lives

"I tried to count the children that swarmed there, but could not. Sometimes I have doubted that anybody knows just how many there are about. Bodies of drowned children turn up in the rivers right along sin summer whom no one seems to know anything about. When last spring some workmen, while moving a pile of lumber on a North River pier, found under the last plank the body of a little lad crushed to death, no one had missed a boy, though his parents afterward turned up." Who wrote this and what is it?

The bosses of big business factories and their corruption/control. They are the "Bosses of the Senate"

Consider the document. What does this depict?

Booker T. Washington said this; the Atlanta Compromise

"...we shall stand by you with a devotion that no foreigner can approach, ready to lay down our lives, if need be, in defense of yours, interlacing our industrial, commercial, civil, and religious life with yours in a way that shall make the interests of both races one. In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress. There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence and development of all." Who said this and what is it called?

(D) The Second Great Awakening in the first half of the 1800s

"As the early years at Hull House show, female participation in that area of reform grew out of a set of needs and values peculiar to middle-class women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Settlement workers did not set out to become reformers. They were rather women trying to fulfill existing social expectations for self-sacrificing female service while at the same time satisfying their need for public recognition, authority, and independence. In the process of attempting to weave together a life of service and professional accomplishment, they became reformers as the wider world defined them." — Robyn Muncy, historian, Creating a Female Dominion in American Reform, 1890-1935, published in 1991 *Settlement house work as described by Muncy had the most in common with women's activism during which of the following earlier periods?* (A) The Protestant evangelism of the mid-1700s (B) The decade leading up to the American Revolution (C) The two decades following the American Revolution (D) The Second Great Awakening in the first half of the 1800s

(A) increasing usage and exploitation of western landscapes

"Excepting only Yosemite, Hetch Hetchy is the most attractive and wonderful valley within the bounds of the great Yosemite National Park and the best of all the camp grounds. People are now flocking to it in ever-increasing numbers for health and recreation of body and mind. Though the walls are less sublime in height than those of Yosemite, its groves, gardens, and broad, spacious meadows are more beautiful and picturesque. . . . Last year in October I visited the valley with Mr. William Keith, the artist. He wandered about from view to view, enchanted, made thirty-eight sketches, and enthusiastically declared that in varied picturesque beauty Hetch Hetchy greatly surpassed Yosemite. It is one of God's best gifts, and ought to be faithfully guarded." - John Muir, Century Magazine, 1909 *Muir's ideas are most directly a reaction to the* (A) increasing usage and exploitation of western landscapes (B) increase in urban populations, including immigrant workers attracted by a growing industrial economy (C) westward migration of groups seeking religious refuge (D) opening of a new frontier in recently annexed territory

(D) Preservationists concerned about overuse of natural resources

(A) Participation by women in moral reform efforts

"I believe that progressivism was a radical movement, though not by the common measures of economic and political radicalism. . . . Progressives were radical in their conviction that other social classes must be transformed and in their boldness in going about the business of that transformation. . . . The sweep of progressivism was remarkable, but because the progressive agenda was so often carried out in settlement houses, churches, and schoolrooms, in rather unassuming day-to-day activities, the essential audacity of the enterprise can be missed. Progressivism demanded a social transformation that remains at once profoundly impressive and profoundly disturbing a century later." — Michael McGerr, A Fierce Discontent: The Rise and Fall of the Progressive Movement in America, 1870-1920, 2003 *Which of the following activities from the middle of the 19th century most closely resembles the Progressive Era reforms that McGerr describes?* (A) Participation by women in moral reform efforts (B) Calls for the annexation of Texas (C) Efforts by nativists to restrict immigration (D) Removal of American Indians from the Southeast to the West

A) Social Darwinism supported American imperialism by arguing some people were naturally inferior to others.

"On one side, an ill-advised queen, seeking by intrigue and by unwise, if not disreputable, alliances to save her nationality, but supported by the passionate instincts of nearly the whole Hawaiian people; and on the other side a foreign population, who had in many cases assumed the duties of citizenship without realizing the extent of its responsibilities, and who proclaimed that the commercial interests of the foreign-born must outweigh the national interests of the Hawaiian-born citizen." *What connection, if any, did Social Darwinism have to American imperialism?* A) Social Darwinism supported American imperialism by arguing some people were naturally inferior to others. B) Social Darwinism supported American imperialism by claiming Darwin's explorations had officially annexed territories. C) Social Darwinism was used to oppose American imperialism by arguing for greater social evolution at home.

B) Increasing industrialization and economic consolidation.

"The Gospel of Wealth" written by Andrew Carnegie in 1889: "The problem of our age is the proper administration of wealth, so that the ties of brotherhood may still bind together the rich and poor in harmonious relationship. The conditions of human life have not only been changed, but revolutionized, within the past few hundred years. In former days there was little difference between the dwelling, dress, food, and environment of the chief and those of his retainers...The contrast between the palace of the millionaire and the cottage of the laborer with us to-day measures the change which has come with civilization." *What changes led to the inequality Carnegie described during the late 19th century?* A) Increasing prices for food and goods. B) Increasing industrialization and economic consolidation. C) Emergence of a welfare state that encouraged laziness. D) A widespread lack of education.

D) Benefactors should use their wealth to create greater economic opportunity.

D) The war was a decisive victory that helped propel the United Status on to the world stage.

"The cause of 'free Cuba' is close to the hearts of all Americans because of the mis-management of the island by the Spanish Nation. The Cuban people look to the United States for succor and by reason of the fact that they are endeavoring to help themselves, they would appear to merit the same...the laws of humanity and the dictates of pure reason, would seem to rule, that Spain should not hold in subjection a nation which she cannot govern." *What impact did the Spanish-American War have on the military and political status of the United States?* A) The war was a humiliating defeat for America and reduced the nation's status. B) The war was a stalemate that neither hurt nor helped America's status. C) The war was a decisive victory, but did little to improve America's status as a world power because little was gained from the war. D) The war was a decisive victory that helped propel the United Status on to the world stage.

The Square Deal by TR was based on three basic ideas: conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection. The Square Deal sought to protect both business and labor, and to ease the radical voice in both and reach a compromise. Roosevelt sought to break up large monopolies and did so aggressively, gaining him the name "Trust Buster." His Elkins Act made it illegal for railroads to give rebates to favored companies.

"We must act upon the motto of all for each and each for all. There must be ever present in our minds the fundamental truth that in a republic such as ours the only safety is to stand neither for nor against any man because he is rich or because he is poor, because he is engaged in one occupation or another, because he works with his brains or because he works with his hands. We must treat each man on his worth and merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no less." Explain this document

Plessy v. Ferguson; Supreme Court upheld Jim Crow laws and segregation

Consider the following: "Laws permitting, and even requiring, their separation in places where they are liable to be brought into contact do not necessarily imply the inferiority of either race to the other, and have been generally, if not universally, recognized as within the competency of the state legislatures in the exercise of their police power... We think the enforced separation of the races, as applied to the internal commerce of the State, neither abridges the privileges or immunities of the colored man, deprives him of his property without due process of law, nor denies him the equal protection of the laws within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment...." What does this document show? What is it?

The American people were outraged by the corruption of the government and society. Many people established the Populist Party to advocate for the people's needs. This document describes the party's platform about what the government refers as the "the plain people." This party advocated for higher wages, a reduction of working hours, and a great expansion of the government in policies regarding railroads

Consider the following: "People's Party Platform," Omaha Morning World-Herald, July 5, 1892. "[W]e seek to restore the government of the Republic to the hands of "the plain people," with which class it originated. . . . Our country finds itself confronted by conditions for which there is no precedent in the history of the world; . . . We pledge ourselves that if given power we will labor to correct these evils by wise and reasonable legislation, in accordance with the terms of our platform. We believe that the power of government—in other words, of the people—should be expanded (as in the case of the postal service) as rapidly and as far as the good sense of an intelligent people and the teaching of experience shall justify, to the end that oppression, injustice, and poverty shall eventually cease in the land" What does this express?

Ida Tarbell, Rockefeller's corruption with the Standard Oil Company

Consider the following: "The strides the firm of Rockefeller & Andrews made after the former went into it were attributed, for three or four years, mainly to [his] extraordinary capacity for bargaining and borrowing. Then its chief competitors began to suspect something. Rockefeller might get his oil cheaper now and then, they said, but he could not do it often. He might make close contracts for which they had neither the patience nor the stomach. He might have an unusual mechanical and practical genius in his partner. But these things could not explain all. They believed they bought, on the whole, almost as cheaply as he, and they knew they made as good oil and with as great, or nearly as great, economy. He could sell at no better price than they. Where was his advantage?" Who wrote this and what does it discuss?

This is The Shame of the Cities by Steffens and it talks about urban blight; it suggests his overall conclusions about political corruption.

Consider the following: "We are responsible, not our leaders, since we follow them. We let them divert our loyalty from the United States to some "party"; we let them boss the party and turn our municipal democracies into autocracies and our republican nation into a plutocracy. We cheat our government and we let our leaders loot it, and we let them wheedle and bribe our sovereignty from us. True, they pass for us strict laws, but we are content to let them pass also bad laws, giving away public property in exchange; and our good, and often impossible, laws we allow to be used for oppression and blackmail. And what can we say? We break our own laws and rob our own government, the lady at the customhouse, the lyncher with his rope, and the captain of industry with his bribe and his rebate." Who wrote it and what is it?

It conveys the feelings of the American people at this time. George Rice explains how Rockefeller, owner of Standard Oil Company, used him and many other business owners. Many people couldn't compete with this company because Rockefeller had low prices for the same oil. These other companies, such as Rice's couldn't match or beat Rockefeller's predatory prices. As a result, Rockefeller and other bosses eliminated their competition and gained a lot of power and wealth

Consider the following: George Rice, "How I Was Ruined by Rockefeller," New York World, October 16, 1898. "I am but one of many victims of Rockefeller's colossal combination," said Mr. [George] Rice, "and my story is not essentially different from the rest. . . . I established what was known as the Ohio Oil Works. . . . I found to my surprise at first, though I afterward understood it perfectly, that the Standard Oil Company was offering the same quality of oil at much lower prices than I could do—from one to three cents a gallon less than I could possibly sell it for." "I sought for the reason and found that the railroads were in league with the Standard Oil concern at every point, giving it discriminating rates and privileges of all kinds as against myself and all outside competitors." What does this document express?

Carnegie believed in the "Gospel of Wealth" in which business owners and wealthy individuals were obligated to serve their community

Consider the following: Source: Andrew Carnegie, "Wealth," North American Review, June 1889. "This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of Wealth: First, to set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagance; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and after doing so to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community—the man of wealth thus becoming the mere agent and trustee for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience, and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves." What is Carnegie saying here?

B) Because he was a preservationist, he opposed it.

John Muir: "Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings, Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature's sources never fail."

Populist Party's 1892 platform: "The urban workmen are denied the right to organize for self-protection, imported pauperized labor beats down their wages, a hireling standing army, unrecognized by our laws, is established to shoot them down, and they are rapidly degenerating into European conditions. The fruits of the toil of millions are badly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the history of mankind; and the possessors of these, in turn, despise the Republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of governmental injustice we breed the two great classes — tramps and millionaires." *What position did the Populist Party take on laissez-faire economics?* A) They supported laissez-faire economics because it promoted competition.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair: "There were cattle which had been fed on 'whiskey-malt,' the refuse of the breweries, and had become what the men called "steerly" — which means covered with boils. It was a nasty job killing these, for when you plunged your knife into them they would burst and splash foul-smelling stuff into your face; and when a man's sleeves were smeared with blood, and his hands steeped in it, how was he ever to wipe his face, or to clear his eyes so that he could see? It was stuff such as this that made the "embalmed beef" that had killed several times as many United States soldiers as all the bullets of the Spaniards; only the army beef, besides, was not fresh canned, it was old stuff that had been lying for years in the cellars." *How did the Progressives feel about women's suffrage and Prohibition?* A) They uniformly supported women's suffrage but opposed Prohibition.

The Subjective Necessity for Social Settlement written by Jane Addams in 1892: "It is not difficult to see that although America is pledged to the democratic ideal, the view of democracy has been partial, and that its best achievement thus far has been pushed along the line of the franchise. Democracy has made little attempt to assert itself in social affairs...We hasten to give the franchise to the immigrant from a sense of justice, from a tradition that he ought to have it, while we dub him with epithets deriding his past life or present occupation, and feel no duty to invite him to our houses." *Was the relationship between immigrants and political machines in the late 19th century cooperative or oppositional?* A) Political machines helped immigrants learn English and become citizens.

This cartoon is trying to portray that Bryan is disrespecting the cross by being against the joining of church and state. His most memorable speech was without a doubt the "Cross of Gold" speech in which Bryan calls to attention the silver and gold issue brought up by all the new silver and gold ore being mined and the decision whether or not to make a floating currency, or one based on the gold standard.

What does this document entitled "The Sacrilegious Candidate" show?

Nast creatively caricatured the Tweed Ring. As you can see, Tweed and his cohorts are positioned in a ring with each member denying blame by pointing at the next man. It focuses on the corruption of political machines and their affects upon New York.

What does this document entitled "Who Stole the People's Money?" show?

This cartoon portrayed oil companies as power-thirsty dictators, like an octopus. This cartoon played a huge role in encouraging citizens to disapprove of this unfair economy.
