Essay Questions:
1. Why did President Washington issue the Neutrality
Proclamation?
Answer: President Washington issued a Proclamation of
Neutrality because he knew that the United States was too weak to get involved
in another war so soon after the War for Independence. This meant that the
United States would not take sides in the war between France and Great Britain.
2a.Why did Tecumseh want the Indian tribes to organize?
2b.How was the Treaty of Greenville typical of the agreements
signed by the American government and Indian tribes?
Answer: 2a. Tecumseh was the Chief of the Shawnee
Tribe. He wanted to organize a great Indian alliance. He wanted to unite the
Indians to prevent invasion of the western lands by white settlers.
2b. The Treaty of Greenville was typical of the agreement signed
by the US government and Indian tribes because after a time it was broken by
the settlers who invaded the Indian lands.
3. What were the main points of the Monroe Doctrine?
Answer: James Monroe issued a warning to the
countries of Europe. This Monroe Doctrine has been called the American
“declaration of independence from Europe”.
It promised European nations that they could keep whatever possessions
they had in the western hemisphere as of 1823. They could not claim additional
territory in this hemisphere. The United States would oppose any effort to
extend the European system of rule by kings and queens to the western
hemisphere. The United States, in return, promised not to interfere in events
in any European country.
4a. How did John Quincy Adams become President?
4b. Why was his administration generally unsuccessful?
Answer: 4a. In the Election of 1824, no one of the four
candidates had a majority of the electoral votes. The Constitution stated that
the House of Representatives should choose the President from the three leading
candidates. Henry Clay was fourth and had to drop out. He supported Adams and
Adams became President.
4b. Adams’ administration was generally unsuccessful because he
entered office with corrupt-bargain charges. He lacked political skill. He
raised tariffs and increased the price of public lands to raise money for
internal improvements.
5a. How did the tariff issue turn into a nullification
controversy in 1832?
5b.What was the result of the nullification controversy between
South Carolina and the national government?
Answer: 5a. A higher tariff meant that southerners had
to pay more for manufactured products. The South Carolina legislature protested
this action by Congress. John C. Calhoun said that a state could nullify
(cancel, veto) a national law within its own boundaries. The belief that a
state could do this was called the nullification doctrine.
5b. The nullification controversy between South Carolina and the
national government resulted in a compromise. The Compromise of 1833 was
passed, tariff rates were lowered over a ten year period, and South Carolina
accepted the Compromise of 1833.

Essay Questions:
1. How did the mass production of inexpensive automobiles affect
American life?
Answer: The mass production of inexpensive automobiles
affected American life by the way people worked and played. People could live
farther from their places of work. This speeded the growth of suburbs around large
cities. People could shop in places far from their own neighborhoods and travel
long distances to places of interest.
The automobile helped make the 1920s a decade of prosperity.
Auto factories employed hundreds of thousands of workers. Hundreds of thousands
more were needed to make materials that went into the making of cars and new
businesses sprang up. Also, governments spent billions of dollars on roads.
2. What did it mean to say that Roosevelt’s New Deal programs
dealt with Relief, Recovery, and Reform?
Answer: Roosevelt’s programs dealt with Relief,
Recovery, and Reform because Relief meant for providing help for the millions
in need. Recovery meant helping businesses, farmers and workers recover from
the depression and get back to prosperity. Reform had to do with long-term
change. The aim of reform was not only to prevent future depressions, but also
to better the lives of all Americans.
3. How did economic conditions and increasing nationalism lead
to the rise of dictatorships in Europe?
Answer: Economic
conditions help lead to the rise of dictatorships in Europe because after World
War I there was depression and unemployment. The dictators promised jobs and
prosperity to the people. Nationalism helped lead to the rise of dictatorships
in Europe because some countries were left with weak governments after World
War I. In Germany and Italy the people believed that they did not receive all
that they should have from the peace treaty. Mussolini and Hitler gained power
by playing on the nationalistic pride of the citizens of their countries.
4. Why did President Truman decide to drop the atomic bomb on
Japan?
Answer: President Truman had to make one of the most
historic decisions of the war and even of human history. This was the decision
to drop an atomic bomb on Japan. After he warned Japan to surrender or face
prompt and complete destruction and received no reply, one American bomber
dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, and the whole city
was almost wiped out. Some of Truman’s advisers opposed this action because
they were afraid that unleashing this force might have terrible consequences
for mankind. Truman, however, made his decision on military grounds. Military
leaders believed that in order to defeat Japan the allies would have to invade
it, costing at least one-half million American casualties. The atomic bomb
Truman decided would end the war quickly.
5. How did the rapid growth in population help create new job
opportunities?
Answer: The country’s rapid growth in population
contributed to new job opportunities and economic growth because city and state
governments had to spend more for schools, roads, hospitals, and police and
fire services. This meant more jobs for the people. More jobs meant more people
could afford homes. This created a demand for and the sale of more consumer
goods.
Have a great week!
