United States History II (1302) Give Me Liberty! Chapter 1 Review Alan P. Vangroll Central Texas College Fall 2015 Terms in this set (11)The American economy thrived because of federal involvement not the lack of it. How did the federal government actively promote industrial and agricultural development in this period? High tariffs prevented competition, granted land to Railroad companies, removed Indians for farmers and mining company's. Why were railroads so important to America's second industrial revolution? The nations railroads provided transcontinental transportation for the first time. These railroads would provide goods from the east to the west and likewise. The railroads created 4 time zones, were central to national market, and had the advantage of mass production. What event demonstrated their influence in society and politics as well as economy? Trade increased, Minneapolis grain industries prospered by selling grains to the rest of the country. The railroads itself was a profitable business, powerful companies controlled 2/3 of railroads in The United States. Businesses began to sprout along railroads. The railroads also spurred many new jobs decreasing unemployment level. Why did organized efforts or farmers, workers, and local reformers largely fail to achieve substantive change in the Golden age? Initially, they capitalized on the new technologies and new markets of America's growing economy. But soon they faced increased competition, saturated markets, and falling prices for their produce. By the last decades of the century, their share of the national wealth had precipitously declined and their iconic place in the American imagination was at risk. Describe the involvement of American family farmers in the global economy after 1870 and its effects on their independence. After 1870, the depression struck. This meant that the goods the farmers produced would be at a lower price, and since there was no farmers insurance, families could easily lose their farms. There was no stability or security owning a farm. According to the Gilded age by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, the era's slogan was "get rich, dishonestly if we can, honesty if we must." Explain how this was true of the politics of the era? Money and power was the only drive for Americans at this time. Large Companies would buy out other smaller Companies to make trusts which would then monopolize the industry and destroy competition. Government workers at this time would also try to take as much advantage for their industries as possible. Think of political cartoons as well. How did American political leaders seek to remake Indians and change the ways they Lived? The federal government established the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in 1836 to be in charge of the relocated Indians. Illustrating the government's sentiment toward Indians, and one of its primary responsibilities was to prevent Indian military action against whites. Explain how social thinking misapplied Charles Darwin's ideas to justify massive disparities in wealth and power and to deny government a role in equalizing opportunity? That there is no sympathy for the poor, and that certain causes such as race and religion are the reasons why people are in certain conditions. Its a "you are this way for a reason," situation. The "successful" people of this time then felt superior and obligated to try and get other cultures to bend in their ways, which will lead them to success. How did social reformers such as Edward Bellamy, Henry George, and advocates of the social gospel conceive of liberty and freedom differently than the proponents of the liberty of contract ideal and laissez faire? The Social Gospel Class offered numerous plans for change primarily because they were alarmed by a fear of warfare and the growing power of concentrated capital. Whereas the Laissez Faire is a policy or attitude of letting things take their own course, without interfering. In what ways did the west provide a "safety valve" for the problems in the industrial East? In what ways did it reveal some of the same Problems? The Homestead Act of 1862 in the United States. Given the concentration of immigrants (and population) on the Eastern coast, it was believed that making free land available in the West, would relieve the pressure for employment in the East. The enactment of a free land law, it was believed, would act as a safety valve. trusts (p. 596) ...
