okay. that's only two, i think
what were the causes and results of the war of 1812?
Popular Sovereignty - the idea that the people should be the ones in power.. This is reminiscent of the whole social contract thing we learned in AP Euro..
popular sovereignty:
A region, such as a state, makes a decision through voting. this was used when deciding certain territories' views on slavery.
William Jennings Bryan a presidential candidate (but he never got elected) and was a supporter of the following:
the graduated federal income tax
popular election of senators
woman suffrage
public knowledge of newspaper ownership
prohibition
federally insured bank deposits
regulation of the stock market
pure food and drug laws

popular sovereignty is like when territories were trying to become states and they had to vote on whether or not they would be a slave state, right?
Williams Jennings Bryan was the democratic candidate in theh 1896 election. He ran against McKinley and was completely supported by the populist party. his campaign was surrounded around the demand for free silver. he couldn't carry the industrial states like McKinley.
He lost the election and this loss, coupled with an improved economy, ended the populist movement.
Also,
You posted two terms when you said that there would be three
&
"Here's three terms" should be "Here are three terms"
popular sovergnity is when the people have the choice
is anyone blogging right now?
Can you just post a comment so that we know that it's working? sorry, it's just that we don't know whether to study amongst ourselves or focus more on trying to work the blog.
whats the third topic? emily peter peter lindsey and i already figured out the first to
Also, William Jennings Bryan was the guy who made the cross of gold speech.. and we was an advocate of bimetalism (pro silver)
¿¿¿Donde está usted???
erika says asks if popular sovergnity had a lot to do with theJefferson administration because of his whole agrarian republic, but she knows what it means
¿Qué más?
What else?
Folks, as if it were not completely self evident, I am experiencing some technical issues running the blog tonight.
Please ping me via a post to let me know if you are still there!
The comments have been good so far, except the one's a.) correcting my grammar (mildly amusing) and b.) the one's chastising me for not posting your comments. I'm working on it.
what are some of the larger reform movements you think we should know for the DBQ
me, erika, lindsey, peter, and smitty are still here :)
Ping.
what were the colonial rebellions?
For the DBQ, I would concentrate on the reform movements we looked at in class, such as abolitionism, women's rights, education reform, the temperance movement--the reform eras prior to the Civil War.
So...is there a third topic?
righto
on the sheet with review terms, why are the terms from whig party thru the erie canal boxed???
Luke, they are boxed because they are boxed--it was a doodle, or a reminder to get back to those at a later date.
Colonial rebellions such as Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vescey affair, Turner Rebellion, and their impact on later events such as the Whiskey Rebellion, lynchings, black codes and Jim Crow Laws.
I'll assume that this blog session has been a bust, and some have indicated their frustration with this session this evening. I've also been informed that I have been replaced by historyteacher.net, which I suppose is fine.
I will stay around for a bit more if folks want; please indicate if you wish me to continue this session.
WERE STILL HERE!!!!
and you would never be replaced!!!!
sorry about that we are completeley delerious and hoped that you liked our comment!!!
could you say more about the denmark vescey affair please???
=)kati and tara
we'll stay. please.
what is nativism?
Which Major us constitutional compromises do you want us to know? do you mean something like Connecticut compromise? or 3/5 compromise?
and what is this historyteacher.net thing all about?
denmark vesey: he was a slave brought to the us, and he tried to plan this really big slave rebellion. plans were leaked, though, and vesey and others were tried and executed.
Denmark Vescey--conspiracy by slaves to overthrow their masters in South Carolina.
The theme to internalize here is that an uprising of underclasses, whether in the early Bacon case or the ones that followed, were items that Americans were ever-mindful of, and took precautions to mitigate, such as black codes.
Nativism to put it briefly, is this upswell of pro-American feeling by many fourth, fifth, and sixth generation Americans in the mid 1800s who felt that the country was being overrun by immigrant groups, and that these 'invading' immigrant groups had to be dealt with harshly. Tammnay politics and the Know Nothing party are notable political movements that were influence by immigrant resentment.
what time period is the best to focus on or are all of them egual
could you please clarify what regionalism is?
