Harding 82 Answer Key 165 INTRODUCTION No student can fully understand the history of the United States and its present position in the world today without knowing something about the kind of men who have held its highest office. Oftentimes history text programs integrate into the chronology of America's story the most important contribution of the most signifi- cant of our Presidents along with a sprinkling of names and dates of those who had less of an impact. But every President, whether dynamic and strong or weak in power, has had a hand in shaping the history of this country. Each left his own per- sonal imprint, yet there are parallels which can be drawn from them all that make the true American Spirit what it is today and a literally fascinating subject for student research beyond mere textbook copy. The form of this book is an attempt to provide a starting point, a place for students to depart into research that will truly get them involved in the lives and personalities of our Presidents. The format of each mini unit begins with a brief biographical sketch of the President, including highlights of his life and administration. This is followed by Presidential Trivia, a series of twelve questions that will require addi- tional reading from other sources. The final phase in the study of each President contains thought questions based on an analysis of all that has been read about that President's administration and provides an excellent starting point for classroom discussion. The culmination of the study is the exciting Presidential Trivia, a game for the entire class requiring recall of all the accumulated research that has gone on. The game contains eighty cards, each containing five trivia questions. The format allows for its use by the entire class or as a competition between as few as two students. There are additional activities included that hinge on the study of all our Presidents. The section A Changing Chapter involves students in creative thinking and writing ex- periences where they speculate on how the course of history might have been altered had certain events turned out differently. There is also a complete answer key included. The number of men who have held the nation's highest office makes the study an excellent on-going project for the entire school year. It is suggested that each Presi- dent be highlighted for a few days, or even an entire week in the case of those whose administrations were more significant. During that time students complete their reading, finish the activity pages and wind up the study with a class discussion on the thought questions. Perhaps a special section of a bulletin board can be set aside to present words and deeds and events that are most remembered of that President's tenure in office. Finally, enthusiasm on the part of the teacher is helpful in coaxing children into a literally fascinating study of some of the most important and interesting personalities in our nation's history. 6 iv GEORGE WASHINGTON George Washington has long been recognized as the Father of our Country. The leadership he brought forth to the fledgling new United States was most instrumental in allowing it to not only survive, but to prosper and grow. Washington was a very strong individual, indeed, but the years of training and preparation in his youth and early adulthood were also very im- portant in preparing for the role he would assume. He was born in 1732, the son of a Virginia gentleman. The plantation environment would school him in the manners and ways of living that became commonplace to a true gentleman. As a boy, George's interest ranged from military strategy to the surveying of land both of which would become useful to him later in life. At the age of 21 (1753), Washington was sent by the Governor of Virginia to warn the French soldiers to leave lands already claimed by Virginia. Although unsuccessful, his disagreement over ownership of land between the French and the British would resultin the French and In- dian War, in which Washington also became involved. Between the time of the French and Indian War and the American Revolution, Washington spent most of his time happily raising the stepchildren of his wife, Martha Dandridge Custis, and managing his estates. But the call of his country sounded again as he was elected as a delegate to the Second Continental Con- gress. The events at Lexington and Concord brought the delegates there to aunanimous backing of the handsome gentleman from Virginia as commander in chief of the Continental Army. When the hard fought victory over the British was finished, Washington returned to his beloved Mount Vernon. But the call of his country brought him to preside over the Constitu- tional Convention of 1787. Once the Constitution was hammered out, it became quite ob- vious that Washington should become the new nation's first President. After serving two terms, feeling weary and disappointed at the emergence of a two-party system, Washington retired. He returned to Mount Vernon and died less than three years later. 7 1 qEORDE WASHINDTON 7 fName fPresidential Trivia r r r1.The city in which Washington was inaugurated 1 2.

  • American Civil War Civil War Reconstruction
    American Civil War Civil War Reconstruction History >> Civil War Much of the Southern United States was destroyed during the Civil war. Farms and plantations were burned down and their crops destroyed. Also, many people had Confederate money which was now worthless and the local governments were in disarray. The South needed to be rebuilt. The rebuilding of the South after the Civil War is called the Reconstruction. The Reconstruction lasted from 1865 to 1877. The purpose of the Reconstruction was to help the South become a part of the Union again. Federal troops occupied much of the South during the Reconstruction to insure that laws were followed and that another uprising did not occur. A street in Charleston, SC after the war To Punish the South or Not Many people wanted the South to be punished for trying to leave the Union. Other people, however, wanted to forgive the South and let the healing of the nation begin. Lincoln's Plan for Reconstruction Abraham Lincoln wanted to be lenient to the South and make it easy for southern states to rejoin the Union. He said that any southerner who took an oath to the Union would be given a pardon. He also said that if 10% of the voters in a state supported the Union, then a state could be readmitted. Under Lincoln's plan, any state that was readmitted must make slavery illegal as part of their constitution. President Johnson President Lincoln was assassinated at the end of the Civil War, however, and never had the chance to implement his Reconstruction plan.

  • William Jennings Bryan and His Opposition to American Imperialism in the Commoner
    The Uncommon Commoner: William Jennings Bryan and his Opposition to American Imperialism in The Commoner by Dante Joseph Basista Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2019 The Uncommon Commoner: William Jennings Bryan and his Opposition to American Imperialism in The Commoner Dante Joseph Basista I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Dante Basista, Student Date Approvals: Dr. David Simonelli, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Martha Pallante, Committee Member Date Dr. Donna DeBlasio, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT This is a study of the correspondence and published writings of three-time Democratic Presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan in relation to his role in the anti-imperialist movement that opposed the US acquisition of the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico following the Spanish-American War. Historians have disagreed over whether Bryan was genuine in his opposition to an American empire in the 1900 presidential election and have overlooked the period following the election in which Bryan’s editorials opposing imperialism were a major part of his weekly newspaper, The Commoner. The argument is made that Bryan was authentic in his opposition to imperialism in the 1900 presidential election, as proven by his attention to the issue in the two years following his election loss.

Throughout the semester we studied all of the past presidents and compiled a ranked list of these men based on our personal opinion of their greatness. My thesis is a similar study of their wives. The knowledge I have gained through researching presidential spouses has been very complementary to the information I learned previously in Mr. Markle's class and has expanded my understanding of one ofthe most important political positions in the United States. The opportunity to see what parallels developed between my ran kings of the preSidents and the women that stood behind them has led me to a deeper understanding ofthe traits and characteristics that are embodied by those viewed as great leaders. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my dad for helping me to participate in and understand the importance of history and education at a young age.

  • Ken Guindon Has Written a Well-Documented Account of His Theological Foray Into the Liturgical Churches That Is Both Relevant and Insightful
    Ken Guindon has written a well-documented account of his theological foray into the liturgical churches that is both relevant and insightful. His impeccable scholarship and convincing argumentation demands the attention of everyone enamored with Catholicism or Orthodoxy. This is a book that needed to be written, and we should be grateful that one so competent and intelligent has done just that. More than a mental exercise or academic investigation, the substance of this book stems from the crucible of personal experience. Sharing personal lessons from his cross-cultural immersion into sacerdotalism, he attacks no straw men, but carefully and candidly documents ecclesiastical distinctions long recognized, but frequently overlooked. Like David returning from the Philistines, the author has returned to the evangelical fold with a greater appreciation of the gospel. More pioneer than prodigal, the author “came to his senses” with a reaffirmation of faith that is both inspiring and sobering. We welcome him back with honor and kudos for a sensitive critique of Orthodoxy and Catholicism that is both transparent and courageous. —Stephen Brown Professor of Bible and History, Shasta Bible College and Graduate School Because of a number of recent accounts of evangelicals joining the Roman Catholic or the Eastern Orthodox Church, this is an important and much-needed book. Through the examination of church history, theology and Scripture, Ken Guindon shares his spiritual journey and explains why he returned to evangelical Christianity. His study is fair-minded and well-written, and provides a sound defense for his decision. —Edmond C. Gruss, Professor Emeritus, The Master’s College This is a very pertinent book for our time when many prize church history and personal experience above Biblical truth in their search for spiritual vitality.

    Hoovervilles: The Shantytowns of the Great Depression By History.com, adapted by Newsela staff on 04.04.17 Word Count 702 Level 830L A typical shantytown of the Great Depression in the United States, this one located in a city. Photo: WPA The Great Depression was an economic crisis that began in 1929. Many people had invested money in the stock market and when it crashed they lost much of the money they had invested. People stopped spending money and investing. Banks did not have enough money, which led many people to lose their savings. Many Americans lost money, their homes and their jobs. Homeless Americans began to build their own camps on the edges of cities, where they lived in shacks and other crude shelters. These areas were known as shantytowns. As the Depression got worse, many Americans asked the U.S. government for help. When the government failed to provide relief, the people blamed President Herbert Hoover for their poverty. The shantytowns became known as Hoovervilles. In 1932, Hoover lost the presidential election to Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt created programs that helped lift the U.S. out of the Depression. By the early 1940s, most remaining Hoovervilles were torn down. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. 1 The Great Depression sets in The Great Depression was one of the most terrible events of the 1900s, and led to a huge rise in unemployment. By 1933, 1 out of 4 Americans was out of work. Americans looked to the U.S. government for help.

    Please note: Each segment in this Webisode has its own Teaching Guide Rutherford B. Hayes Reconstruction—the process by which the Confederate states returned to full membership in the Union—jolted along not under the generous and steady leadership of Abraham Lincoln but under the late president’s successor, Andrew Johnson. Johnson, a Southerner, thwarted almost all congressional moves to assure African Americans the rights of full citizenship. The South was in ruins, its economy flattened. Fields were empty, and so were Southern pocketbooks. Many Southerners were angry; they had lost their enslaved work force and political clout, and now they had to accept former slaves as equals. While Johnson looked the other way, Southern legislators created black codes, which restricted the civil rights of African Americans. Other white men, hiding under white hoods, terrified African Americans by using violence and intimidation. African Americans saw the hard-earned reforms of Reconstruction evaporate under black codes, voting restrictions, and the intimidation of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacy groups. Johnson’s successor, Civil War hero Ulysses S. Grant, was an ineffective president whose administration was immobilized by the corruption of those he appointed. Reconstruction policies eventually determined the disputed election of 1876 between Samuel Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes; when Hayes promised to pull federal troops out of the South, an election commission awarded him all the disputed votes and thus the presidency. Teacher Directions 1.
