Chapter 18
Section 1 Q 3 & 5
3. Manifest Destiny set the stage of American Imperialism in many respects. On was that the end of Manifest Destiny left many Americans with a hunger to continue, very much like something someone enjoys doing, and the Americans were left with a urging to do more than just expand to the pacific. Also Americans, especially business owners, wished to see the ideals of Manifest Destiny continued since there were many opportunities to expand America’s then stagnant economy into a powerful economic force.
5. Senator Albert J. Beveridge explains America’s needs for the new territories as our god-given duty to expand out economy in order to have a colossal influence on the world and also on ourselves to become truly powerful.
Section 2 Q 3
3. Unstated policies of yellow journalism primarily consisted of writing stories that angered public opinion towards something that the writers wished to happen, in many respects it is propaganda because it takes only certain parts of a story that will get the expected reaction from the people I.E. the headline for the explosion of the U.S.S. Maine. Editors also used yellow journalism to create or continue something they wish to see happen such as the war with Spain in the comment made to Remington from Hearst.
Section 3 Q 3 & 4
3. America’s Rule over Puerto Rico brought both good and bad changes the Puerto Ricans living there. A very Bad Effect place on Puerto Rico was the slightly Hypocritical rule of General Miles who ruled the Island as a military ruler, A primary good Change was the return to Puerto Rico Civil Government, that is of course after the Americans Passed the Foraker Act, which gave Puerto Ricans U.S. citizenship which very obviously made them happy at the time; however such a law was mainly a cover up allowing America to keep the people happy allowing them to be able watch the building of the Panama canal as well as watching Caribbean trade routes.
4. US policies towards the Chinese was the policies of stopping the open door policy only because America had no “Circle of Influence” because they came late to the country thus they asked imperialist countries in Europe to let them all share trade rights. This differed from the American policy in the Philippines where the Americans broke the treaty of Paris causing many Filipinos to rebel against America however the Americans, who had the advantage of technology including the recently invented Colt .45 caliber pistol, were able to quickly overturn the rebellion the Americans then place a new policy where they appointed a governor very much like the policy England had over there colonies.
Section 4 Q 3 & 4
3. President Roosevelt’s “Big Stick policy” placed fear in many nations because the goal of the policy was to make a statement to other nations that America was a “take no nonsense nation” now; although he never had to use force he helped to put nations in there place until Wilson came to power. Wilson’s policy was the spread of democracy without force, although initially a good plan he indeed ended up fighting two “wars” with Mexico because he did not instill the fear Roosevelt had in his polices and could not keep Mexico in line.

Congo Carpenters – Has ties to the theme of the evolution of the concepts of personal freedom, individual responsibility, and respect for human dignity based off of the growth of a woodshop that employs Africans mainly with speech or hearing handicaps in fact based of the information given it appears that only two employees have no form of handicap.
Photo journal: Ethiopia shoe-shine girl – has primarily ties with the theme the evolution of the concepts of personal freedom, individual responsibility, and respect for human dignity because the shoe-shine girl, Meskerem, has had some her dignity striped forced to work crouched on the street, but she also gets a sense of joy and accomplishment because she is able to be her own boss as well as helping her family.

chapter 17
Sec 1, 3,4
3. Wisconsin, Illinois, and Oregon can be considered as trailblazers because of many reasons. One was the leadership of Robert La Follette, who believed that businesses should have no say in politics, and William U’ren’s prompting for his state to draw up initiatives, laws made by non-elected people. Also Florence Kelley, a woman placed as the Illinois general secretary of industry helped end child-labor and give women better pay.
4. In this cartoon I believe that the artist takes a negative view on prohibitionist, because he has customers cowering behind a door, Carry Nation looking stern and slightly evil, and the saloon she attacked in ruins that even drunks would not attempt to do.
Sec 2, 5
5. If I was a women living in the progressive era I would get people to join with quite a few ways. For the improving of education I would tell people that education would help to free women from the shackles of domestic life. For food and drug laws I would tell people that the reform would lead to having more money in the family. And for the right to vote I would say that suffrage would make women feel more like a member of society and not a puppet for people to control.
Sec 3, 5
5. W.E.B. Du Bois opposed Booker T Washington’s views on discrimination and racial inequalities as the black mans fault and that they should accept it and not complain that they were not slaves anymore.
Sec 5, 4
4. Wilson avoided the Civil rights movement for many reason, one of which being his background, as a southerner he felt obligated to his region fearing that he might be considered a “traitor” rather than a savior. He also wished to remain popular with the people like Taft and Roosevelt before him. He also saw progressive movements as a way to make the nation stronger not the people in it.
