...The declaration of war in 1917 very nearly stopped the suffragists’ picket line and brought their movement to a halt. Many suffragists argued that they could not and should not picket a wartime president, since it would harm the public opinion of their goal and could be considered treasonous. However, Alice Paul believed that giving up, even for a few years or so, would reverse the progress that they had made. As a result, she continued to maintain the picket line, though with one change; no mothers. The war would take fathers away from their homes as they left to fight, and the suffragists did not want children to live without their mothers as well while they stood in protest. Despite the peaceful nature of their protest, however, the public...

...APUSH Study Guide 8 A weak Confederacy and the Constitution, 1776-1790 Themes/Constructs: The federal Constitution represented a moderately conservative reaction against the democratilizing effects of the Revolution and the Articles of Confederation. The American Revolution was not a radical transformation like the French or Russian revolutions, but it produced political innovations and some social change in the direction of greater equality and democracy. The American Revolution did not overturn the social order, but it did produce substantial changes in social customs, political institutions, and ideas about society and government. Among the changes were the separation of church and state in some places, the abolition of slavery in the North, written political constitutions, and a shift in political power from the eastern seaboard toward the frontier. The first weak government, the Articles of Confederation, was unable to exercise real authority, although it did successfully deal with the western lands issue. The Confederation’s weakness in handling foreign policy, commerce and the Shays Rebellion spurred the movement to alter the Articles. Instead of revising the Articles, the well-off delegates to the Constitutional Convention created a charter for a whole new government. In a series of compromises, the convention produced a plan that provided for a vigorous central government, a strong executive, the protection for property, while still upholding republican...

...Middle East DBQ By: Tracey Smith There were many wars against Israel. The most famous one is the war of 1948. The war followed the creation of the nation-state of Israel in 1948 as the effect of colonialism in the Middle East. There are many different aspects of the war like the beginning of the war, the Balfour Declaration and the United Nations Partition Plan. The reason why the Israeli-Arab war started was because of the ongoing and complicated conflict between the 'Palestinians' and the Zionist-Jews. Zionism was a theology that was created in the late 1800's in Europe where they believed that the Jews should 'return' to their 'homeland' which was Jerusalem; they also believed it’s their Homeland because God promised them Jerusalem in the Torah. They still believe it’s their Homeland because they had the empire 3,000 years ago. Throughout the Middle East, the Muslims invited the Jews to come into Jerusalem after they were kicked out by the Romans many years before during Islamic rule. The Ottoman Empire, which was Islamic, built temples where the Jews prayed for the Muslim, Christian and Jewish warriors who fought and are fighting for the Ottoman Empire. There were people who were living in the area, who call themselves Palestinians; Palestinians were ruled by the Ottoman Empire, just like Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon etc. The Palestinians lived in the land for hundreds of years, building, trading and more. The Jews in Europe began to immigrate into...

...Hannah Ross February 27, 2017 APUSH DBQ In the beginning of the nineteenth century, Americans started to focus on the welfare of minority groups. Women’s suffrage, abolition, and asylum and prison reform became hot topics during the Second Great Awakening, a movement that took place in the early 1800s. The Second Great Awakening was headed by religious leaders who sought out changes in American society through uniting the American people (Doc. B). Due to the Second Great Awakening, reform movements were established between 1825 and 1850 to represent the changes American people sought for in the matters of slavery, suffrage, and asylum and prison reform. Nat Turner’s rebellion, occurring in 1831, changed dynamics of slavery in America....

...Imperialism DBQ The U.S. overseas expansion in the 19th and 20th centuries were aimed towards creating a global presence on the world stage. The U.S.’s military interests to extend their control lead to their intentions of assimilating foreigners into the “best” culture because of the influence of the Progressive Movement that was taking place. Based off the idea of Social Darwinism and Anglo Saxon, this lead people to believing that the U.S. should civilize these “savages” through spreading Christianity and democracy. They assumed that they were the best race and that everyone else was uncivilized. Document C mentions that “the highest civilization will spread itself over the earth” and “this competition of races will be the survival...
