3. ida tarbell, what did she do?
:Ida Tarbell was born in Erie County, Pennsylvania in 1857. Educated at the Sorbonne (1891-94) in Paris, she returned to America where she joined the staff of McClure's Magazine. Working with Lincoln Steffens, Tarbell campaigned against corruption in politics and business. This style of investigative journalism became known as muckraking. Tarbell's articles on John D. Rockefeller and how he had achieved a monopoly in refining, transporting and marketing oil appeared in McClure's Magazine between November, 1902 and October, 1904. This material was eventually published as a book, History of the Standard Oil Company (1904). Rockefeller responded to these attacks by describing Tarbell as "Miss Tarbarrel". In 1906 Tarbell joined with Lincoln Steffens and Ray Stannard Baker to establish the radical American Magazine. She also wrote several books on the role of women including The Business of Being a Woman (1912) and The Ways of Women (1915). Tarbell's last published work was her autobiography, All in the Day's Work (1939). Ida Tarbell died in 1944.

They would often give money to charaties to keep the public opinion in favor of them..or donate money to fund things..Which is why the Rockefeller center is named after Rockefeller..he gave money to build it.

3. riddle me this- why were northerners against the mexican war?


the northerners were against the mexican war because they thought the land would become slave states, and then the south would have more power and stuff.

JEFFERSON AND HAMILTON DID NOT GET ALONG BECAUSE THEY HELP TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT VIEWS. jEFFERSON WAS A STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST OF THE CONSTITUTION WHILE HAMILTON PERFERED TO LOOSELY INTERPRET IT. HAMILTON PROPOSED THE IDEA OF A NAT'L BANK WHERE ALL OF THE STATES DEBTS WOULD BE PUT INTO ONE BANK AND HELD BY THE NEW NATION. IT WOULD HELP TO UNIFY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. NOW WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION DID IT CALL FOR A NAT'L BANK SO JEFFERSON WAS TOTALLY AGIANST THIS,. HE FELT IT TOOK POWER AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE AND MADE THE GOV'T TOO STRONG. THIS WAS JUST ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THEY DISAGREED ON. WHEN JEFFERSON WAS VOTED PRES. AND HAMILTON WAS MADE V.PRES. ALL HECK BROKE LOOSE AND UP CAME THE RISE OF POLITICAL PARTIES, EVEN THOUGH WASHINGTON TOLD THE NATION TO STEER CLEAR OF THEM...WANNA KNOW MORE, LOOK IT UP URSELF (HEHE) HAVE FUN!!
DIXON ES EL HOMBRE!!!

dixon man i need sum extra credit get on the ball and put sum ?'s on here........NOW!! (plez)

ap us history for you: 10/01/2005 - 10/31/2005
Hamilton and Jefferson didnt get along because jefferson was a strict constructionist and hamilton wasn't. yeah

Hamilton and Jefferson didn't get along, because they were both jealous of Dixon. Why? Because Dixon is the man. Period. The End.


...It was worth a shot!

Jefferson was a strict constructionist...he thought if it didn't say it in the Constitution, you couldn't do it.

Hamilton was a loose constructionist..he felt that as long as the Constitution didn't say you couldn't do it, you could.

With completely opposite ways of interpreting the document that our government is founded on, these two didn't have much (if any) common ground.

-Hannah L. Ross

First off.... Jefferson was the third president meaning he got voted in before Hamilton. (Hamilton was never president.) Hamilton was poor growing up.... If i was Jefferson id be mad at him for coming from a poor family and being for the rich.... kinda hypocritical i think!

Well ya c rite now im really mad b/c i finally got this stupid thing 2 work and then when i get on here.......... theres nuttin else i can say. so all imma say is this............
jefferson got really mad b/c he thought he deserved 2 b on sumthin a lil bigger then a nickle. well then he figures out that this hamilton guy gets his mug on a $10. so jeffersons all like "WHOA!!" wat the crap. im cooler then this guy and i deserve 2 b on a $10 and that lil blankity blank blank needs 2 be on sumthin like the hay penny. well he gets all mad and says "hey, ya no wat? imma run againist this guy 4 president. and if i win i can be all like "hey mr. $10 guy. looks like u got beat by a nickel". so he runs againist him.
well hamilton has got a big mouth and one day him and alexander burr gets in this lil arguement and burr challenges him 2 a duel. well hamilton thinkin hes a big shot cuz hes on the $10 accepts. so they meet at the OK corral and play rock paper siscors 2 c who gets first shot. well it was a grueling battle as it went for 5 rounds b/c both of them picked sicsors rock rock paper siscors until finally hamilton decides 2 live on the edge and take a chance by pickin paper out of his normal rotation, and lil does burr no that hes about 2 lose the biggest game of rock paper siscors of his life b/c he picks rock. hamilton jumps in the air and yells"PAPER COVERS ROCK!!!!" while burr sadly retreats 2 his spot. hamilton raised his pistol aimed it rite at burrs head when he decides 2 have a heart. he looked into burrs big brown puppy dog eyes and said 2 himself "i cant do this" and fires his 1st shot into the air. well burrs all like heck yeah u stupid idiot and shots hamilton rite in the heart. haha. well when jefferson got wind of this hes like heck yeah the 10s dead and him and burr done the rain dance on hamiltons grave through the nite. THE END

now dixon i no that this isnt exactly the best answer 4 y jefferson and hamilton dont get along but i didnt no wat else 2 say. but hey u gotta admitt that if u got put on sumthin as crappy as the nickel.... ud get pretty mad 2.

Well u see old Jeff was a Jeffersonian-republican and favored and trusted the common folk like u and me generally the southern farmers. And this Alex ham man was a federalist and was for a strong central govt. he didnt favor us farmers like old jeff, he like them northern business men.

Jefferson thought rich and educated people should get more privilges, Hamilton favored the average and low class people.

Jefferson and Hamilton did not get along due to their differing opinions of how our new nation should be ran. Jefferson, an anti-federalistm, believed that states should have the main control, and the federal have less control. Hamilton, a federalist, believed in a strong federal gov't that would have the most control, with states having fewer rights. Also, the two differed on the issue of the national bank.

testing

picture of a character from the wizard of oz(you can draw one if you can't find it)
a dollar bill
a newspaper
a coin
extra credit: a cartoon by "the big nasty" thomas nast of boss tweed
see you tomorrow

Dixon this is how the Crime of '73 relates to The Wizard of Oz

1. Tinman represents the Populist and Marxist idea of the alienation of the industrial worker
2. Scarecrow represents the western farmer, populist thought farmers were able to understand the complex theories that underlay the choice of standard
3. Cowardly Lion is William Jennings Bryan
4. Emerald City is D.C.
5. the yellow brick road represents the gold standard
6. Tinman receives a new axe which represents that the bimetallic standard will ensure the industrial worker wont be unemployed
7. Dorothy kicking her heels to go home represents the power to solve the problems (by adding silver to the money stock) was there all along

ha to all you out there that didnt get to it first.
Roxie

next item: something written by mark twain.
you had a couple of days off for the easter holiday and the fact that i couldn't get on for some reason.
two questions:
1. explain the events leading up to the impeachment of andrew johnson
2. what does the "crime of '73" have to do with the wizard of oz?

Samuel tilden can be called a hero because as chairman of the democratic state committee he took a leading part in the impeachment of New York judges who were the tools of the notorious Tweed ring. He did this by analysing the bank accounts of certain members of the ring, he obtained legal proof of the principle on which the spoils had been divided. Also as a reform spirited governor in 1874, he turned his attention to a second set of plunders , the "canal ring" , made up of members of both parties who had been systematically robbing New York State through the maladministration of its canals. He succeeded in breaking them up.

*color due to the heels going to the final four one place Duke is not*

#2: the whiskey ring scandal involved Ulysses S. Grant and his secretary. Over 3 million dollars in taxes were taken from the federal goverment and Grant gave presidentil pardon to his secretary.

wow, that's some pretty quick answering there. detter must sleep in the afternoon so he can stay up until 2 in the morning looking at the blog.
next item: picture of andrew johnson

2 more questions for extra credit:

1. why can samuel tilden be called a hero?
2. describe the events of the whiskey ring scandal.

The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments are called the civil war amendments because they were passed in the wake if the Civil War.
13: Abolished slavery
14: granted civil rights to African Americans
15: granted men of all races the right to vote

The Wade-Davis Bill was sponsored by Benjamin Wade and Henry Davis and it provided for the administration of the affairs of southern states by provisional governors until the end of the war. It argued that civil governments should only be re-established when half of the white male citizens took an oath of loyalty to the union.

matt, not really that many when you think you have a week to do them. plus, you being a smart guy and all you probably know them all off the top of your head.
item # 3 for your bag: a map of alaska

soto- you're almost correct. clay had to use his influence to help adams get elected, remember jackson had the most votes and it went to the house of reps where clay ( as speaker of the house) helped adams get elected. then after adams was pres he gave the sec. of state position to clay.

still another question out there and i'll add a few more.
1. explain the panic of 1837.
2. why did jackson dislike the bank and what did he do about it?
3. what was the specie circular?
4. explain how jackson led to the creation of the 2nd two party system.

that should be enough for you to think about for a little while.

the "corrupt bargain" occured when adams, after winning the election, appointed henry clay as secretary of state. clay could then use his influence in congress to secure the election for adams.

-soto-

a few quick questions, a few quick points
1. what is the "corrupt bargain"
2. explain the nullification crisis
3. explain jackson's battle with the bank of the US

The British Orders in Council, first issued in 1806, were indirect attacks on the French. These issued that European ports under French control were closed to all foreign shipping. Britain favored these orders because they controlled the seas with their navy. The Orders in Council led the US to forbid exports of goods in Jefferson's hated Embargo Act of 1807.

At tippecano, about a thousand US regulars led by William Henry Harrison whipped up on some indians led by tecumseh in what is presnt day Indiana.

(Soto is a Poser)

the hartford convention in 1814 was a regional secret convention held in hartford, connecticut due to the federalist discontent because of the lessened voting weight of new england in congress and electoral college due to adding states to the union and also they were not happy with the war of 1812. they were meeting to discuss their minority status in the union and some federalist even suggested secession. these federalists were seen as traitors by the public. led to the downfall of their party. wanted to eliminate the 3/5 clause which would lessen the Souths voting power. when delegates arrived in washington to present the proposals, they found that the capital was celebrating jackson's victory at new orleans and the treaty of peace.

oliver hazard perry served in the war of 1812 and earned the nickname "hero of lake erie" for leading american forces in the decisive naval victory at the battle of lake erie.

The Federalist Papers was propaganda that Hamilton and Madison used to explain the Constitution to the people of New York. The papers also interpreted the Constitution to present the population with the philosophy behind the future government of the US. New York chose to ratify the constitution as it was if a Bill of Rights would be added because of this propaganda.

james madison is the father of the Constitution.

The Battle at Bunker Hill was so significant because it was the first serious defeat for the British. In the eyes of the British they had won the war but in the battle they lost over 1,000 soldiers compared to only around 400 lost by the Americans. Due to the heavy loss of officers the British's attitude was significantly changed as a government and also individually.
