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.

The dawes act has something to do with the assimilation or americanitization of indians..and may have even relocated them.

hat in ur mouth

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

B/c..if i am not mistaken..this is off the top of my head..this would give the US new land which would be admitted as a slave territory.

Afl and Kol are labor unions...one is for skilled workers and the other is for both skilled and unksilled. I think AFL is just skilled

The robber barons were the people such as JP morgan (i think he owned a steel company), Cornielius Vanderbuilt(railroads) John D. Rockefeller (oil), Who were extremely rich. They were the head of monopolies and controlled the industries. 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.

boo yah

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.
