CHAPTER 9: War, Prosperity and Depression An Outline of American History "The chief business of the American people is business." President Calvin Coolidge, 1925 WAR AND NEUTRAL RIGHTS To the American public of 1914, the outbreak of war in Europe came as a shock. At first the encounter seemed remote, but its economic and political effects were swift and deep. By 1915 U.S. industry, which had been mildly depressed, was prospering again with munitions orders from the Western Allies. Both sides used propaganda to arouse the public passions of Americans a third of whom were foreign-born or had one or two foreign-born parents. Moreover, Britain and Germany both acted against U.S. shipping on the high seas, bringing sharp protests from President Woodrow Wilson. But the disputes between the United States and Germany grew increasingly ominous. In February 1915, German military leaders announced that they would attack all merchant shipping on the waters around the British Isles. President Wilson warned that the United States would not forsake its traditional right, as a neutral, to trade on the high seas a view of neutral rights not shared by Germany or Great Britain. Wilson declared that the nation would hold Germany to "strict accountability" for the loss of American vessels or lives. Soon afterward, in the spring of 1915, when the British liner Lusitania was sunk with nearly 1,200 people aboard, 128 of them Americans, indignation reached a fever pitch.

Help Celebrate African American History Month and the Legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary February 2, 2002 National African American History Month Proclamation National African American History Month, 2002 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation During these extraordinary times, America looks forward to new challenges and opportunities with a reinvigorated sense of unity and common purpose. We are a strong and vibrant Nation, thanks to the creativity, fortitude, and resilience of people of every race and background. During National African American History Month, we celebrate the many achievements and contributions made by African Americans to our economic, cultural, spiritual, and political development. In 1915, Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson founded The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Through that Association, he began pressing for the establishment of Negro History Week as a way to bring national attention to the accomplishments of African Americans. He hoped to neutralize the apparent distortions in Black history and to provide a more objective and scholarly balance to American and World history. Dr. Woodson's dream became a reality in 1926. He chose the second week of February for the observance because of its proximity to the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, two individuals whom Dr. Woodson felt had dramatically affected the lives of African Americans. And in 1976, the Association succeeded in expanding the observance, which then became Black History Month.

Look at the original intent of the framers of the Constitution and how it has been changed by two Constitutional Amendments. Forty-six men have served as Vice President of the United States since the Constitution was enacted. In some ways the very existence of the office seems a bit of an after-thought, as other than being designated as that person to succeed the President in the event of his death, disability or resignation, the Vice President is only assigned two duties.

Presidential Proclamation For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary February 4, 2004 National African American History Month 2004 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation During National African American History Month, we honor the heritage and accomplishments of African Americans and recognize their extraordinary contributions to the United States. African Americans have upheld the ideals of America, defended our homeland, and enriched American culture and society. Brave leaders such as Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Leon Sullivan caused America to examine its heart and to respect the dignity and equality of all people, regardless of race. Today, African Americans are leaders at the highest levels of the military, business, education, law, government, the arts, sports, and religion. To help share the stories of the millions of African Americans who have strengthened our country, I recently signed legislation establishing the National Museum of African American History and Culture as a part of the Smithsonian Institution. This museum will commemorate the triumphs of African Americans their determination in overcoming the evil of slavery and discrimination and their many achievements and contributions to our Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 2004 as National African American History Month. I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities that highlight and honor the contributions African Americans have made to our Nation.

Let the arguments begin! Email us with your own opinions.) Oh, by the way, we did not consider the 2000 election for this list. We suspect it will end up on the list somewhere, some day. It's just going to take the perspective of history to determine exactly where. 1936 - Vote of Confidence for the New Deal Franklin Delano Roosevelt s landslide victory over Alfred Landon in 1936 acted as a ratification of his New Deal concepts. Roosevelt had introduced an unprecedented expansion of government involvement into the economic aspects of society. His huge victory four years after his initial win told him, and any doubters in Congress, that he had a mandate from the electorate for his leadership. 1960 - The First Television Election Two candidates from a new generation battled each other for the Presidency, the first two candidates born after 1900 (1952/1956 candidate Adlai Stevenson was born in 1900). The election was decided by a razor thin margin, with allegations of election irregularities. The young, popular President who won the election was killed in a controversial assassination that still provokes debate to this day. But what made this election truly influential was the Kennedy-Nixon debates. Though Eisenhower and Stevenson had used television in 1952 and 1956, this was the first time television had a major impact on the final result. After 1960, television became an undisputed influence on final election results.

The Ten Least Important Presidential Elections in American History please refer to our terms and conditions for use of content from this site Here they are, from #10 to #1. Let the arguments begin! (Email us with your own opinions.) How do we decide which Presidential elections were the least important? We have to acknowledge that any election had some importance, because it chose the United States chief executive for four years. So we need to ask which elections match this statement: “For all the effect the election had on history, we could have skipped it.” Here are my choices, counting down to the most meaningless election in American history: 1924 - Complacency Makes the Choice The Democrats took 103 ballots at their convention to choose someone to oppose incumbent President Calvin Coolidge, who had succeeded Republican Warren G. Harding when Harding died in office in 1923. The factionalized Democratic Party could not even nominate a candidate capable of exploiting the scandal-ridden Harding Administration. Pre-depression prosperity reigned. The divided, contentious Democrats had no appeal to a complacent nation. The election was notable for one of the century s strongest third party runs, by Progressive Robert LaFollette, who courted New Deal voter coalitions eight years before Franklin Roosevelt

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History GREENBACK PARTY The Greenback party (also called the National Greenback party) was organized in 1876 to campaign for expansion of the supply of paper money—"greenbacks"—first issued by the federal government in 1862 to help pay for the Civil War. The idea that maintaining a flexible supply of paper money served the interests of working people, whereas paper money backed by specie (hard money, like gold or silver) benefited only the rich, had been advanced by Edward Kellogg as early as 1841. In the 1860s, Alexander Campbell popularized Kellogg's ideas, but greenbackism did not develop a significant following until the panic of 1873, when low prices and tight credit gave Campbell's writings new appeal, especially to farmers. Many people, however, passionately opposed greenbackism, arguing that an inflated supply of paper money was immoral. In addition, of course, creditors as a group stood to lose from inflation, since debts could be repaid with less valuable dollars than those originally borrowed.
