THE AP EXAM LOVES: Race, Gender, Religion, and Culture questions ... especially concentrated before 1800!!!! BUT AS I SAID IN CLASS: KNOW 4 THINGS REEEEEALLY WELL ... I RECOMMEND: 1. POPULISM --> PROGRESSIVISM --> NEW DEAL (TRACE THE LIBERAL REFORM MOVEMENTS) Omaha Platform = STAR 16 (Senators, Tax, Australian Ballot, RR control) 2. Civil War and Reconstruction 3. Jacksonian Democracy 4. Race/Gender
Marbury v. Madison = Judicial Review McCullough v. Maryland = Federal Supremacy, and the right to charter a bank. "The Power to Tax is the Power to Destroy!" Dred Scott v Sanford = Roger B. Taney says that slaves are property. Muller v. Oregon = Limits hours women can work. Adkins v. Children's Hospital = refutes Muller decision Schenck v. US = "Clear and Present Danger" Can't shout "FIRE!!!!" in a crowded theater. Schecter v. US - Declares the NIRA Unconstitutional Butler v. US - Declares AAA Unconstitutional Korematsu v. US = Japanese Internment is Constitutional as Executive Order 9066 states that in times of War, rights can be limited. Plessy v. Ferguson = Justifies Jim Crow laws. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka KS - Ends segregation in schools. Roe v. Wade = legalizes abortion, but not in all cases. Dennis v. US - Due process limited because of a fear of Communism. Similar to "clear and present danger" mentioned above. Miranda v. Arizona, Gideon v. Wainwright, Mapp v. Ohio = rights of the accused. DBQ Tip = USE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS, AND GROUP THEM TOGETHER AS WELL AS YOU HAVE DONE ALL YEAR!!!!!!! SIMPLE FOREIGN POLICY TIMELINE ...... 1783------------Neutrality ----------- War of 1812 -----Neutrality ----------------1845, Mexican War ------- Sectionalism -------------------------- Civil War, 1861-1865 -------------- Reconstruction, 1865-1877------------ Neutrality ------------ 1898 Spanish-American War and Imperialism ------- Neutrality ---------------- WWI Involvement, 1917-1918 ----------- Neutrality -------------- 12/7/1941 - 1945 WWII--------------- Containment 1945-1991 ------------------- Police Powers COMPROMISES Constitutional = The Great Compromise (Virginia (bicameral on population) vs. NJ Plan (equal representation), 3/5 Compromise, and Commercial Compromise. Civil War: Missouri Comp, Comp of 1850, K-N Act (KNOW THESE PROVISIONS WELL) 1820 - Missouri is a slave state, no slavery north of 36'30, Maine is a free state. -- Henry Clay. Political Parties Federalist --> Whigs --> Republicans (Free Soilers and Know Nothings unite here) Democrat-Republicans --> National Republicans (era of good feelings) --> Democrats AUTHORS WE READ THIS YEAR FOR ESSAYS Battle Cry of Freedom ... by James McPherson - Use this to show the differences between the North and South in terms of industry, or use it to show how controversial the K-N Act was. Short History of Reconstruction ... Eric Foner - Use this to show how hated Johnson was by the Republicans, or that he vetoed a lot, or that Reconstruction was controversial. The Uprooted by Oscar Handlin, and The Transplanted by John Bodnar = Immigration ... Use this to show the two theories of lost vs. immigrants maintaining identity. BEST ONE TO USE!!!! Age of Reform = Richard Hofstadter ... shows the patterns of liberal reform from Populism to Progressive to New Deal The Hundred Days ... by David Kennedy ... use this when describing just how grand in scale the 100 days were. Frederick Lewis Allen wrote Only Yesterday, which was about Roaring 20s Morality. David S. Reynolds -- John Brown: Abolitionist. John Brown can be remembered in many different ways, depending on the time period one is writing in, and where one was from. Paul Revere's Ride by David Hackett Fischer - No one knows who fired the first shot at Lexington and Concord The Turner Thesis = Frederick Jackson Turner contends that the West truly is the story of the country. TARIFFS TO KNOW
1. 1828 Tariff of Abominations (and Compromise Tariff 2. Underwood Tariff of 1913 - Democrats regain office and decrease the tariff rates. 3. Hawley Smoot Tariff of 1930 = Raised tariffs to highest point since the Tariff of Abominations. This was done mostly to protect the agriculture industry. Remember -- when Democrats are in office, tariffs typically go down. When Republicans are in office, tariffs typically go up. Tariffs eased after WWII.
Presidential Slogans ... TR (Rep) = A Square Deal for Americans! Support consumers over trusts. Woodrow Wilson (Dem) = New Freedom (defeats TR's New Nationalism) and trustbusts with even more tenacity! Warren G. Harding (Rep) = Return to Normalcy post WWI FDR (Dem) = The New Deal - Public Works, and Government Economic influence Truman (Dem) = A Fair Deal - social improvement, and healthcare. Eisenhower (Rep) = Dynamic Conservatism. The 1950s = A conservative time, economically (Gov supports Big Business), politically (McCarthyism), and socially (Women at home, Leave it to Beaver) JFK (Dem) = The New Frontier, liberal problem solving for poverty, racial prejudice, and international aid. LBJ (Dem) = The Great Society - Money to the poor, education, and an end to discrimination. If Betty Friedan comes up on the test -- it's 1960s-1970s Feminism. I know this is a random thing, but she often comes up on the test. Bill Clinton = Know all about NATO troops, and obstruction of justice.
