Question 2 - 30 • 22. Compare and contrast the experiences of Northern European, Southern European, and Asian immigrants during the Second Industrial Revolution?
Answer 2 – 30 • 22. Because of the advances the Second Industrial Revolution had to offer, numerous immigrants viewed America as a fresh start. The Second Industrial Revolution is generally recognized as the period between 1870 and 1914 in which the U.S. received an abundance of natural resources from its newly acquired territories, a growing supply of labor immigrating from Europe, an expanding market for manufactured goods, and the availability of capital for investment. The Second Industrial Revolution took local communities and their new products out of the shadow of large regional agricultural based economies which was assisted by new labor forces and production techniques. Also, innovations in transportation, such as roads, steamboats, the Eerie Canal, and most notably railroads, linked distant, previously isolated communities together. Overall, the rapid growth of manufacturing from 1880 to 1920 relied heavily on immigrant labor. In the latter part of the 19th century, the cotton manufacturing industry and the iron and steel industry relied heavily on “old immigrants” from Great Britain and Northwestern Europe, but in the early decades of the 20th century, the rapid growth of these industries became increasingly dependent on “new immigrants” from Southern and Eastern Europe. The dominance of the Eastern European immigrants were located in apparel manufacture (and trade), but immigrants were also over-represented in mining and construction and throughout the heavy industries in the Northeast and Midwest. However, the fact that one-third of European immigrants from 1908 to 1923 returned to Europe demonstrates the difficulties of what both European and Asian immigrants had to deal with to adjust to life. To make matters worse, the massive wave of European immigration from 1880 to 1920 raised the demand for labor and drew even larger numbers from the dispossessed Southern peasantry, thus making employment in industrializing America difficult to find. As a matter a fact, because of the mass amounts of immigrants coming over to America because of economic hardships, religious persecutions, or other conflicts in their homelands, Congress began taking action by restricting immigrants from entering. One of these actions includes the Chinese Exclusion Act which banned entry to all Chinese except students, teachers, merchants, tourists, and government officials. Not only that, but a local board of education in San Francisco segregated Japanese children by putting them in separate schools. However, Japan raised an angry protest at the treatment of its emigrants, so President Theodore Roosevelt known as the Gentleman’s Agreement of 1907-1908. Japan’s government agreed to limit emigration of unskilled workers to the United States in exchange for the repeal of the San Francisco segregation order. All the groups of immigrants experienced hardships, but Asians experienced a little bit more maltreatment than Europeans who only dealt with the struggles of work
Question 2 - 40 • 23. Explain the impact of social change and reform movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries?
Answer 2 – 40 • 23. From the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, numerous reform movements aroused to instill social changes. Society called attention to issues that they were unsatisfied with; for example, during this time period the Progressive movement took place. The progressive movements hoped to return control of the government to the people, to restore economic opportunities, and to correct injustices in American life. Many social welfare reformers worked to soften some of the harsh conditions of industrialization. The Social Gospel and settlement house aimed to help the poor through community centers, churches, and social services. In addition, many acts helped inspire workers for rights; the Illinois Factory Act in 1893 prohibited child labor and limited women’s working hours. Beforehand, they were forced to work back breaking jobs throughout numerous hours in poor conditions that were often harmful and unsanitary for a terrible pay. Other reformers felt that morality held the key to improving the lives of poor people. They wanted immigrants and poor city dwellers to uplift themselves by improving their personal behavior; prohibition, the banning of alcoholic beverages, was one such program. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was amongst the groups that actively supported the crusade for prohibition. They also took part in other reform activities that provided women with extended public roles, which they used to justify giving women voting rights. When the U.S. was founded, only white men were allowed to vote and elect representatives to government. In the new 20th Century, many women were demanding suffrage, or the right to vote. They tried to convince state legislators to grant women the right to vote, and then pursued court cases to test the 14th Amendment, and lastly they pushed for a national constitutional amendment to grant women the vote. By the turn of the century, the campaign for suffrage achieved only modest success. However, efforts paid off in improvements in the treatment of workers and in safer food and drug products throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. It’s during this time, in which citizens forced their voices to be heard in order to have the people’s best interest in mind. Changes were presented through reform movements which offered hope and somewhat equality to all the people.
Question 2 - 50 • 24. Assess government policies and the labor movement of the Industrial Revolution?
Answer 2 – 50 • 24. Beginning with Alexander Hamilton’s proposals for a Federal Bank, protective tariff, and support for the Whig Party’s push for internal improvements. During the canal and railroad building frenzy of the 1820’s- 1850’s, state governments did their best to encourage the development of an infrastructure. Real assistance for industrial growth came after the Civil War when the North triumphed and was able to impose its economic priorities on the rest of the country. High protective tariffs were passed to shield American businesses from foreign competition. An open door immigration policy guaranteed a lot of workers willing to labor for long hours at low wages. A sound money policy kept the currency from inflating and convinced creditors they would not be repaid with dollars of equal value. Striking workers were harassed and often arrested by state, local, and national governments dedicated to keeping an obedient work force. Millions of dollars and acres of land were granted to corporations to encourage them to lay more railroad track than were laid in the world. Perhaps the most important was to just leave them alone and unregulated, so businessmen didn’t worry about government interfering with their activities and they had freedom (with limits) to make money in anyway they could (Also called “laissez-faire”). The labor movement in the U.S. grew out of need to protect the common interest of workers. For those in the industrial sector, organized labor unions fought for better wages, reasonable hours and safer working conditions. The labor movement led efforts to stop child labor, give health benefits and provide aid to workers who were injured or retired.

Question 3 - 40 • Identify and evaluate the causes and/or consequences of the Civil War.
Answer 3 – 40 • Causes of the Civil War include economic differences between the North and the South—The North thrived off of industry and the South thrived off of agriculture. The growth of the Abolition Movement also contributed to the Civil War as the North became more and more fixated on a country without slavery. Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, the Dread Scott Case, John Brown’s raid, and the Fugitive Slave Act all led to the start of the war. These issues divided the country and turned many people against each other, many perished, and money became scarce.
Question 3 - 50 • Identify the economic , political and/or social causes of the Civil War.

Without their own land, African Americans, as well as poor white farmers, couldn’t grow crops to sell or to feed their families. There was a lack of unity in the Republican Party. They had split into groups known as Scalawags, Carpetbaggers, and African Americans. They had this lack of unity because of there differing goals. In particular, few Scalawags shared the Republican commitment to civil rights for African Americans. White Southerners refused to accept the African Americans’ new status and fought the idea of equal rights.
