*the first pic is to the right not left* These 2 pictures represent the leadership that was represented during reconstruction. The first picture is Andrew Johnson’s impeachment. The next picture then shows Johnson and Lincoln sitting on a globe and Johnson is saying he will get the nation closer than ever. He has a pair of scissors in his hand and Lincoln is saying he only has to stitch together a few more problems in the Union. These pictures relate to each other because they had an issue with leadership during reconstruction. They did not have a solid leader to help them get through this. I think Lincoln would have been able to preserve the Union and eventually bring everyone back together but then he got assassinated. Johnson was not a solid leader and did not have a strategic plan for reconstruction. He was laid back about it and not strict enough. This leads to his impeachment. Johnson was charged with 11 articles and was not serious about really bringing the country back as one.
Thomas Nest depicts the two pictures between the nations reconstruction era of 1865 to the late 1870’s. To show the South’s current unchanged views with White men, Democrats, pinching their nose at the sight of a freedman going to vote. Compared to the whites and blacks dancing and socializing at a political ball most likely in the North. The other picture is of the State of Alabama as a pirate ship, and raising the White Government Flag above the Ship. Also, having written statements on board of the ship were the White Man's supremacy, the Democratic Party reviving the South, and southern violence group the K.K.K. It is linking a Confederate Civil War ship most notorious in its naval warfare style. These images during the Reconstruction era shows how resilient the South is to the changing landscape of The United States of America, and even the surrounding world.
The two cartoons, represent the Emancipation Proclamation and the African Americans gaining their rights and become equal with the Whites. After Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, abolishing slavery new troubles rose during the Reconstruction Era. In the first (top) cartoon the women takes the chains off of a kneeling slave, her face is sad when looking down at the freeman almost as if she knows what is coming for the African American. In the second (bottom) cartoon, a scale is represents the equal rights among the African American and the White, the White man face so anger at the African American. Showing the conflict between the whites and blacks at the time, the white people didn't want the African Americans to be equal. Foreshadowing how violence and Separation of the two races will increase in the South even after the Reconstruction Era.
The era we are studying is the evolution of The West and how things evolved from the movement towards the west, like the Homestead Act was placed stating that you are given 160 acres. Another law that was placed was the Dawes Act. The Dawes Act was a law created to force Native Americans to become farmers and live the whites’ way of life. In this act they are guaranteed one-eighth of a section if the family member is over the age of 18. Each Native American tribe was promised reservations and lands to live on with their family. The act placed is not to not “..extend passed the territory of the Cherokee, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Seminoles, and Osage, Miamies and Peorias, and Sacs and Foxes, in the Indian Territory, nor to any of the reservations of the Seneca Nation of New York Indians in the State of New York, nor to that strip of territory in the State of Nebraska adjoining the Sioux Nation on the south." Later on things changed and the act was readjusted by President Grover Cleveland who told the Dawes commission to talk amongst the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles; also known as the Five Civilized Tribes. In order to share a common property the Native Americans had to give up their way of life and be governed by the USA and be able to follow federal laws. For the Native Americans to receiver their land they must enroll into the Bureau of Indian Affairs and are enlisted on the “Dawes rolls “in order for an individual to be recognized to receive their fair share in land.

As much as the Homestead Act has been a good opportunity for people back then, it has also been a nuisance. This act helped African Americans, cowboys, and anyone wanted 160 acres of land for free, but its negative effects include the outcome for the Natives and boomers. Anyone could move west if they wanted to. Boomers then started to take advantage of this act by sneaking into Oklahoma territory and claiming land. United States army removed boomers multiple times but kept entering. The primary sources involve boomers being removed by United States army and a big group of boomers entering Oklahoma territory. Eventually, when they ran out of land, the natives had to give up their land also. This is partially the boomers fault because they were unfairly and inconsiderately taking up a lot of land that they were not entitled to. They believed the unassigned lands were public property and not only entitled to Indian tribes. In result to their decisions, the Natives had to move and the government broke the Fort Laramie treaty. Boomers helped cause this problem.
The Homestead Act of 1862 and the Pacific Railway Act of 1862 were both acts created by the United States government and put into effect by President Abraham Lincoln. These acts were both targeted at settling the West and expanding our country. The Homestead Act made land in the West cheap, and the Pacific Railway Act made it easy to get to. This ultimately led to the physical and economic growth of our great nation. These two acts were the start to the United States tripling in its size, and economy, up until the Great Depression, making it one of the worlds most successful and prosperous nations of the time. The United States is still one of the greatest nations today, and that is partially owed to these two acts. It's a definite fact that the United States wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for these acts.
Between 1860 and 1900, Native Americans created a great deal of controversy. Many people thought they should be evicted from their home lands, which is exactly what happened. However, other people wanted to protect the Native Americans and restore the peace between the Native Americans and the Americans. Among these peace makers were many politicians, including president Grover Cleveland. In his first inaugural address in 1885, he stated that the people of the United States believe it is the government’s job to allow Native Americans certain aspects of lives of U.S. citizens, including citizenship itself. In his second inaugural address in 1893, he stated to the same effect that America should respect their rights and beliefs and guide them into a civilization of education and citizenship. This brings up the controversy over whether or not the majority of not just the government, but also the entire country supports the rights and beliefs of Native Americans, or if they should be forced to conform to the rules of the U.S. government. Based on the time period of his Presidencies, Grover Cleveland came after all of the events that led to changes in Native American lifestyles. He also came before the Presidents whose presidencies included these events.
During the Reconstruction era there was much disagreement within the government as to what to do with the South now that the war was over. They questioned how badly they should be punished for what had happened and what requirements should be set for them to meet before they could reenter the Union. The two primary sides were that of the Radical Republicans and that of President Andrew Johnson. The Radical Republicans wanted harsh punishment for the South and believed that President Johnson’s plan for the South was not harsh enough. Thaddeus Stevens was one of the leaders of the Radical Republicans who continually fought against Johnson’s plans for Reconstruction. The Radicals decided that if the president was not going to follow their plan they would try to get rid of him. The Radicals successfully managed to bring the president to an impeachment trial however they failed to remove him from office. The impeachment trial was a big deal at the time because this was the first time that congress had ever attempted to impeach and remove a president. This constant fighting within the government over plans for Reconstruction and lack of time spent actually implementing such plans is one of the reasons that reconstruction during this period was such a failure.
http://www.jofreeman.com/polhistory/1912.htm (5th picture down under women suffrage)
In the early 1900s there was a controversy about allowing women to vote. African Americans were already allowed to vote, and this rose up the problem of women’s right to vote. Women began to protest, to get the point across that they should be able to vote for the laws that they have to follow. The first picture it is a group of women, likely in New York, which are protesting that they have no right to vote. Then the next picture it’s a picture of the three parties, the three men in the back(the animals portray there political party symbols) and they are ignoring the women protesting that they should have a right to vote and the problems they want to fix. They don’t want to have anything to do with making laws for women to vote. After a lot of protesting women earned the right to vote in the 19th amendment ratified on August 18, 1920.
During the Progressive era, a lot of the things in life were controlled by political bosses who made people do what he wants. For example, they would make people vote for a certain candidate in election and that is what my first article demonstrates. It shows a “political boss” standing by a voting ballet, telling people who they should vote for. Many people felt pressured so they did what the bosses said, whether they wanted to or not. Political bosses were also a big part of the corrupt government during the progressive era. Many politicians did whatever they wanted to cities like in my second carton. It shows a political leader of New York having the whole state doing whatever he wants them to do and asking the question, “What are you going to do about it?” Nobody tried fighting against these political bosses because they knew they wouldn’t get anywhere because of all the power they had.
Both of these photos from the progressive era show the issue with meat companies and how unhealthy they were. In the first picture you can see the dirt and dust that has built up on the floor. You can even see the foot prints of the workers in the dirt. In the second picture you can see the some muck that looks like mud on the floor. You can also see the poor conditions of the animals being abused in the slaughter houses. Due to these problems one of the muckrakers during the progressive era, Upton Sinclair, wrote the book The Jungle that exposed the concerns in the meat packing industry to the public. Once people saw this they were horrified and started to question their health. As a result President Roosevelt and many others worked to get the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act passed. These acts made sure that the meat packing industries were clean by having people go in to inspect them every so often. This way the workers were forced to keep the place clean and healthy for all.
During the 1900's, the issue of women's suffrage grew and surfaced. It surfaced through protests and petitions and eventually, the 19th Amendment. The first image is that of an actual protest that the women fighting for this issue organized and participated in. The second primary source is a document, more specifically the 19th Amendment itself. Although the text itself may be quite outdated and daunting, the summary of it is the next stop into equality for all in the United States. The last image is that of a more informal protest, not one of marching down streets. This image portrays signs narrowly directed towards the president, a somewhat plea for him to take a stand for women's suffrage and give them their right to vote. After many protests, marches, and petitions such as those seen above, women finally received their longing right to vote.
The women’s suffrage movement grew and expanded throughout the country in the 1900’s. Many women were involved with this movement and wanted to make it known to others. Susan B. Anthony was one of the main people in charge of this movement. There were many ways that these women got the word out. Eventually women got the right to vote with the passing of the 19th amendment, which is the first article. In the second picture it shows a couple of women that are holding a banner that says “No self-respecting woman should wish or work for a success of a party that ignores her sex” Susan B. Anthony 1872 and 1894. This shows how much of an impact it made of all women around the country, and how powerful someone voice is. If all these women weren’t to have come together to get their rights the 19th amendment might have not gotten passed.
http://www.albany.edu/~wm731882/18th_amendment_final.html http://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/document.html?doc=13&title.raw=19th%20Amendment%20to%20the%20U.S.%20Constitution:%20Women%27s%20Right%20to%20Vote During the progressive era many problems were reformed and women played a big role in it. Women wanted and were starting to demand rights and argued that they should have the same rights as men because now they also work and earn a living outside of the household. During this time period they passed two amendments which is quite tough to do. The first was the 18th amendment which banned the production, sale and transportation of alcohol (prohibition). They argued that it was bad for men to come home drunk all of the time and then beat them or possibly their children. The other amendment was the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote. I think the fact that women passed two of the four amendments during this time period showed how big of a role that they played in this era.
Prohibition (or the 18th amendment) was an attempt to ban the use and selling of alcohol in the early 1900s. The main people who fought for the 18th amendment were women, specifically the WCTU (or the Women’s Christian Temperance Union). The reason that they fought for this was that many women and children were being abused by their husbands and fathers due to drinking too much. Also, getting this amendment passed would be one step closer to women getting more rights, such as the right to vote. The 18th amendment was passed during Woodrow Wilson’s presidency; however, 14 years later, the 21st amendment was put into effect, cancelling out the 18th amendment, and making alcohol legal once again. The reason that the 21st amendment was put into effect was that too many people were getting alcohol illegally that even the police stopped enforcing the 18th amendment. However, prohibition was not a total failure, because, during the time it was in effect, it played a key role in securing women’s rights, such as the right to vote.
In the progressive era, womens suffrage was a big topic of discussion. Women wanted the right to vote, and they would stop at nothing to get there hard work pay off. In the pictures above are all some ways that the women showed their dedication. They would Strike with signs painted with slogans, and even question that all people would read when they passed. They also did parades through cities shouting things so all people would hear, and pay attention to them. They would even wait outside of political buildings and many would make speeches to spread the word, which was spread all over the United State. With all of there dedication and hard work, the woemn deserved a right to vote, and have their voice heard.
http://hseuspics.wikispaces.com/Progressive+Age http://1865-present.blogspot.com/2012/07/chapter-5-progressive-era-part-i-1900.html During the Progressive Era, monopolies were a big problem. Many presidents were called “trustbusters” because they spent so much of their time prosecuting trusts, or monopolies. In the first Progressive Era cartoon, it shows a cannon being shot a mountain that said ‘oil monopoly’. The man shooting the cannon is obviously one of the presidents during the time period that is trying to eliminate trusts in big industries. The second political cartoon is of another monopoly. The oil company is being depicted as an octopus that is taking over all the workers, houses, and companies near it. The face on the octopus is evil because monopolies were/ are illegal and were prosecuted regularly because of some of the things shown in the picture. Monopolies took over small businesses and often used children to work. The two cartoons relate to each other because many of the presidents during the Progressive Era tried really hard to prosecute and eliminate as many trusts as possible during their term. The two cartoons show what a trust is and does and the other shows that the presidents and government were working have to get rid of them. Trust and monopolies were a big part of the Progressive Era and that’s why these two cartoons really demonstrate this time period and explain it well.

During the Progressive Era, many problems needed solutions. One of these was alcohol. Many issues resulted from alcohol problems. Men were coming home intoxicated and subsequently abusing their spouses and children. Women were large victims of these occurrences, so they were the leaders of the protest. Women and their children faced the brunt of the dangers of alcohol intoxication, and they typically didn’t even use it. All of these gave them green lights to fight against alcohol. They led protests across the country, which eventually led to enough states ratifying the 18th Amendment, banning the sale of alcohol in the United States. As documented in the photo, one of the sayings women used was “Lips that touch liquor shall not touch ours.” It demonstrates the extreme but warranted views of women during this time. The newspaper shows the way people viewed the prohibition when it was first enacted. Many people supported it. Eventually, 46 of the 48 states had ratified it, the two outliers being Connecticut and Rhode Island. The prohibition was a seemingly efficient solution to the problems at the start of the Progressive Era, but eventually hindered the U.S.

During the progressive era many problems were reformed and women played a big role in it. Women wanted and were starting to demand rights and argued that they should have the same rights as men because now they also work and earn a living outside of the household. During this time period they passed two amendments which is quite tough to do. The first was the 18th amendment which banned the production, sale and transportation of alcohol (prohibition). They argued that it was bad for men to come home drunk all of the time and then beat them or possibly their children. The other amendment was the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote. I think the fact that women passed two of the four amendments during this time period showed how big of a role that they played in this era.
Prohibition (or the 18th amendment) was an attempt to ban the use and selling of alcohol in the early 1900s. The main people who fought for the 18th amendment were women, specifically the WCTU (or the Women’s Christian Temperance Union). The reason that they fought for this was that many women and children were being abused by their husbands and fathers due to drinking too much. Also, getting this amendment passed would be one step closer to women getting more rights, such as the right to vote. The 18th amendment was passed during Woodrow Wilson’s presidency; however, 14 years later, the 21st amendment was put into effect, cancelling out the 18th amendment, and making alcohol legal once again. The reason that the 21st amendment was put into effect was that too many people were getting alcohol illegally that even the police stopped enforcing the 18th amendment. However, prohibition was not a total failure, because, during the time it was in effect, it played a key role in securing women’s rights, such as the right to vote.
ReplyDeleteIn the progressive era, womens suffrage was a big topic of discussion. Women wanted the right to vote, and they would stop at nothing to get there hard work pay off. In the pictures above are all some ways that the women showed their dedication. They would Strike with signs painted with slogans, and even question that all people would read when they passed. They also did parades through cities shouting things so all people would hear, and pay attention to them. They would even wait outside of political buildings and many would make speeches to spread the word, which was spread all over the United State. With all of there dedication and hard work, the woemn deserved a right to vote, and have their voice heard.

During the Progressive Era, monopolies were a big problem. Many presidents were called “trustbusters” because they spent so much of their time prosecuting trusts, or monopolies. In the first Progressive Era cartoon, it shows a cannon being shot a mountain that said ‘oil monopoly’. The man shooting the cannon is obviously one of the presidents during the time period that is trying to eliminate trusts in big industries. The second political cartoon is of another monopoly. The oil company is being depicted as an octopus that is taking over all the workers, houses, and companies near it. The face on the octopus is evil because monopolies were/ are illegal and were prosecuted regularly because of some of the things shown in the picture. Monopolies took over small businesses and often used children to work. The two cartoons relate to each other because many of the presidents during the Progressive Era tried really hard to prosecute and eliminate as many trusts as possible during their term. The two cartoons show what a trust is and does and the other shows that the presidents and government were working have to get rid of them. Trust and monopolies were a big part of the Progressive Era and that’s why these two cartoons really demonstrate this time period and explain it well.

Picture with sign- “Lips that touch liquor shall not touch our.”
During the Progressive Era, many problems needed solutions. One of these was alcohol. Many issues resulted from alcohol problems. Men were coming home intoxicated and subsequently abusing their spouses and children. Women were large victims of these occurrences, so they were the leaders of the protest. Women and their children faced the brunt of the dangers of alcohol intoxication, and they typically didn’t even use it. All of these gave them green lights to fight against alcohol. They led protests across the country, which eventually led to enough states ratifying the 18th Amendment, banning the sale of alcohol in the United States. As documented in the photo, one of the sayings women used was “Lips that touch liquor shall not touch ours.” It demonstrates the extreme but warranted views of women during this time. The newspaper shows the way people viewed the prohibition when it was first enacted. Many people supported it. Eventually, 46 of the 48 states had ratified it, the two outliers being Connecticut and Rhode Island. The prohibition was a seemingly efficient solution to the problems at the start of the Progressive Era, but eventually hindered the U.S.
