| Summarize the positive and negative effects on exploration of the Spanish or French (FRENCH) | Positive Effect - increased trade revenue; Negative Effect - fought with Spain over land and water "ownership" |
| Describe the political and economic effects of slavery on Africa | The slave trade led to death and destruction in Africa, causing long term stagnation of the economy while consumer goods ruin local manufacturing. This created the perfect climate for European colonization; Europe gains political power |
| Explain why Bacon's Rebellion was an important step in ending the practice of indentured servitude | His rebellion made the rich fearful of the poor who were unsatisfied of their conditions. Everyone now turned to Africa for slaves as the new source of labor; accepted the Barbados Slave Code. |
| What does it mean to say a population has self-sustaining growth? What impact does the self-sustaining growth of slaves have on the lower southern region of colonies? | The population has a growth that maintains itself without intervention. The South gained profits by not having to import slaves from Africa, and this increased America's internal slave trade and boosted the economy. |
| Summarize what political passivity is, and why it's harmful (according to Henry David Thoreau) | Political Passivity is when people say they are opposed to something, but do nothing about it. This is harmful because the citizen must never resign one's conscience to the legislation to put oneself at the service of some immoral person in power. |
| Explain the importance of infrastructure as a military advantage during the Civil War. Be sure to provide one specific example to support your response. | Infrastructure, such as river ports, was especially helpful for the Union troops who were able to capture the Mississippi River at Vicksburg; this made the Confederate troops surrender due to lack of infrastructure that connected the South's East and West |
| Why do you think it was difficult to agree on a plan for Reconstruction after the Civil War? | There was a huge disagreement between the South and the North because the South still did not want to accept blacks into society. The North was unsure of how to let the South back into the Union. |
| Explain how Staub's Model of Frustration supports the role of dehumanization in the Jim Crow Era | Racist ideology was created and spread due to frustration (as listed in the stages), leading to the majority of the white population dehumanizing another group of people in the Jim Crow Era |
| Explain how convict leasing is considered to be another form of slavery in the U.S. | Free people were able to be randomly convicted and forced into labor with horrific conditions similar to slavery. They were kept in peonage with no escaping the labor. |
| In what way is the Gilded Age a golden covered turd? Be sure to provide at least one specific example to support your idea | Despite unprecedented growth that caused rapid changes in almost every aspect of America, the Gilded Age on the inside contains terrible working conditions, xenophobia, and many corrupt monopolies/industries. EX: Immigrants & tenements during urbanization |
