Adolf Hitler was a World War I veteran and receiver of two Iron Crosses for his bravery. He was a frustrated artist who eventually found his way into politics. After joining the German Worker's Party, he quickly rose up the ranks.

The Legacy of Theodore Roosevelt
Right now I'm listening to some John Lennon...but anyway, here are the major topics about Theodore Roosevelt that we went over:
The Legacy of Theodore Roosevelt-
Born in 1858 - had asthma as a child but thanks to his home gym, he built himself and eventually became an athlete at Harvard participating in rowing and boxing
The Naval War of 1812 - Roosevelt's first published book when he was only 23
Roosevelt became a New York Congressman in 1881
After being dissatisfied with politics, he lived on his ranch in the Badlands in the Dakota Territory where he adopted the "western" lifestyle
In 1897, he became the Assistant Secretary of the Navy but resigned to fight in the Spanish-American War.
In 1899, he became the 33rd Governor of New York
In 1901, he became President McKinley's Vice-President and eventually the President after McKinley was assassinated by Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo, New York. The irony was that the x-ray machine that was on display at the exhibition could have saved McKinley's life.
As President, Roosevelt was known for "trustbusting" - using antitrust laws to prosecute and dissolve big businesses
One that he challenged was Northern Securities Company which had created a railroad monopoly in the Northwest
The company was charged with violation the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and ordered by the Supreme Court to disolve
Square Deal
1904 Election - Roosevelt's election
Hepburn Act
National Parks
Preservation
Conservation
John Muir
Roosevelt and the Brownsville Raid

Progressivism Part II - Race Relations
This is what we talked about on Tuesday, June 22...
Racial Issues during the Progressive Era
The issue of "race" was not as important as other causes during the Progressive Era such as Women's suffrage, prohibition, labor conditions
Basically, few white progressives looked at the African-American situation
Ray Stannard Baker's "Following the Color Line"
Constitutional Rights vs Civil Rights - Blacks still faced discrimination and prejudice, violence and inequality in most parts of the nation
Violence - lynchings, "mob justice", etc.
Reasons and justification for "mob justice"
Ida B. Wells
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
W.E.B. Du Bois
The Brownsville Raid

Reconstruction 1865 -1877
The Reconstruction Era can be found in Chapter 15. It was a long process to "reconstruct" the South and the nation after the war.
Here are major topics we covered on Monday:
Major Changes during Reconstruction (Social, Political, Economic and Constitutional)
Ratification of the 13th Amendment
Lincoln's Proclamation of Amnesty or 10% plan
Wade-Davis Bill
Johnson's Reconstruction Plan
Free Society
Freedom to travel without the "pass system"
Finding lost family
The creation of a new black society - schools, churches, fraternal orders, benevolent societies, newspapers
Church membership and its importance in society
Freedom to worship without white supervision
Land and Labor
"40 Acres and a Mule"
Special Field Order No. 15 - set aside the Sea Islands and land along the South Carolina coast for freed families. Each family was to receive 40 acres and the loan of an army mule.
Thaddeus Stevens proclaimed that only land would give the freed people control over their own labor.
Southern land was divided into 40 acre plts and given to freed people but President Johnson stopped land distribution and gave land back to former owners which displaced many freed slaves. This led to disappointment and betrayal.
"Sharecropping"
Def: A system for renting farmland in which tenant farmers give landlords a share of their crops, rather than cash, as rent.
Many sharecroppers found themselves in debt to landowners because of loans of seed, equipment, etc. This led to "crop liens". As sharecroppers found themselves heavily in debt to landowners, sharecropping began to resemble slavery.
The White South - Confronting Change
Before the war, few white southerners owned slaves, and very few owned large plantations and large numbers of slaves.
Some small-scaled farmers resisted secession and welcomed the Yankees.
Most white-southerners shared the "bitterest hatred toward the North" - even those not associated with slavery.
The yankee presence during reconstruction built animosity toward the north.
Between 1865 and 1866, state legislatures started to pass "black codes" which included vagrancy laws.
Reconstruction also led to the emergence of the KKK whose major goal was to restore white supremacy and destroy the Republican Party.
Read about the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
1868 - 14th Amendment
