AP US History DBQ?
This is my prompt: It was the strength of the opposition forces, both liberal and conservative, rather than the ineptitude and stubbornness of President Wilson that led to the Senate defeat of the Treaty of Versailles However, I don't understand it. I know what the Treaty of Versailles is, but what does it mean "the Senate defeat"? How did the Senate defeat it? I don't get it at all. Can someone please elaborate?

Western expansion would soon mean more 'states' joining the United States constantly threatening to upset the balance existing between 'slave states' and 'free states' in the national government where they could not out vote each other. The West was dry or rocky or cold and not suited to Southern plantation agriculture and so most western states would not need or want slavery and would probably choose to be be free states joining the North.
Help with a US history question please!?
Industrialization involves applying new and better technologies to create new and better products. Take steel in making buildings. The new technology steel framed buildings caused a building boom in New York City. You could build taller buildings. That meant you could have more people living and working in a smaller area. The concentration of workers would mean that you could locate more factories in the area. People would live nearby. Take steel and the invention of the gas engine would mean new and better types of farm equipment would be made. Bigger and faster tractors and harvesters would make farmers more productive. With better farm equipment, the same number of farm workers could work larger farms. Or if a farm didn't need as many workers, the former workers could buy land and start their own farm or move to the city and work in industry, offices or retail. The refrigerated railroad car meant that food could travel larger distances without spoiling. Different areas of the country could specialize in different crops and livestock and ship them rail to the cities. Some cities are port cities where ships take the food to other countries. Industrialization always requires resources. So there is a need for metals that are mined. There is a need for oil for cars and for heating. Industry also causes pollution A vision of a nation as farmers perhaps means that there is less change. Fewer technologies spreading or adopted to improve efficiency. Fewer factories being created. Less export of food and manufactured good to other countries. Fewer large cities being created or slower growth of cities compared to an industrializing nation. Industrialization created a demand for workers and many of these workers came from Europe, some from Mexico and some from China. With industrialization comes the need for financing and banks to provide the financing. Some of the larger cities like New York City also specialized in banking and finance. They would loan out money to farmers in the midwest and great plains to purchase land and farm equipment.
Us History Reconstruction Era-essay?
Okay, let me interpret this for you and then send you in the right direction as far as answers. 1. Discuss the differences between Federal (Union) and Southern (Confederate) ideas of how the Union should be reunited, and how did they attempt to promote their points of view, and pass legislation to make their point of view law. 2. What are the most significant achievements of Reconstruction (personally I would add it's greatest failures as well) 3. How did the US Government back off from helping African Americans in the South (Find out what "40 acres and a mule" means to answer this question). 4. Discuss the meaning of freedom for African Americans after the Civil War from the following points of view: Those African Americans who were slaves before the Civil War Those African Americans who were Freedmen (legally free and not slaves) before the Civil War The Republican and Democratic parties 5. Did Reconstruction do what it set out to do? In other words is it considered successful by anyone. I recommend you watch American History In Black and White. It tells the TRUE story of African American politics up to the end of the 20th century including pre and post Civil War (Reconstruction) eras. It will answer all your questions. Here's a link to it on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JCEPrFLg... I will warn you to thoroughly back up every statement you make.
