¶ … social, political, or economic change the group of Americans experienced because of the war. Discuss the extent to which that change affected American society.
World War II brought substantive changes to the lives of American women. As husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons were drafted into the war effort, women had to meet the additional demands and burdens at home, and assume breadwinning roles and roles that contributed to the war effort. As the war came to end and surviving men returned home, many women were displaced from the positions they had filled. Many women experienced conflict about the loss of status brought about by the war ending. The tacit agreement -- based on necessity -- that women could assume critical positions in the war effort was not easily erased. What became evident was that world did not come tumbling down as a result of these important shifts in gender roles; having women occupied...
Over the nearly 250-year history of slavery in the United States, African-Americans experienced profound changes. The Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves living in the Southern states and territories that were still rebelling against the United States. Substantive changes to the lives of African-American former slaves took hundreds of years beyond the official decree. The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed in 1866, with the states following in 1868. The significance of this amendment was that it overruled the Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) decision that asserted black Americans were not actually citizens of the United States. Prejudice and discrimination still…
The Civil War was both the catalyst and the mechanism for the most significant change American have witnessed. Over the nearly 250-year history of slavery in the United States, African-Americans experienced profound changes. The Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves living in the Southern states and territories that were still rebelling against the United States. Substantive changes to the lives of African-American former slaves took hundreds of years beyond the official decree. The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed in 1866, with the states following in 1868. The significance of this amendment was that it overruled the Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) decision that asserted black Americans were not actually citizens of the United States. Prejudice and discrimination still exist despite the several laws enacted to assure equality for all people regardless of race.
Theme 8 -- Identify two problems faced by the United States during the Cold War and for each: Explain how the problem led to conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union; Describe one action taken by the United Sates in response to the problem; Evaluate the extent to which the action taken was successful in solving the problem.
After World War II, Germany was divided into four occupation zones, each of which was to be occupied by the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and, France. Berlin was also divided into four zones of occupation. The Russians wanted a neutral, disarmed Germany and huge reparations for the war in the form of industrial equipment, money, and other resources. The United States was convinced that Western European recovery was conditioned by a strengthened, reunified Germany. The Americans halted the shipment of reparations to the Soviets from the U.S. zone in May of 1946. When the British, American, and French zones combined their zones in December, the Soviets perceived this as a hostile action. The Russians continued to issue demands for a say in the German economic future, until negotiations broke down completely in June 22, 1948. Two days later, in response, the Soviets blocked the railroad lines and roads into West Berlin. The Americans were extremely angry and it seemed that diplomacy between the two countries was over. The West Berliners were hostages in the situation, and the Russians looked like bullies as the West Berliners increasingly feared they would not have food, water, or medical aid. Two days after the Soviet blockade, the U.S. began a massive, successful, and extraordinary
American History The Reconstruction exacerbated the regional differences between the northern and southern states. The exact conflicts that led to the Civil War in the first place remained for decades after General Lee surrendered at Appomattox, and shortly after President Lincoln was shot dead. The Reconstruction project illuminated the still-existing conflicts between Lincoln's successor Andrew Johnson and the Republican congress. Johnson attempted to straddle the fence and simultaneously appease the South

American West United States became one of the most industrialized nations and sought to grow its industries at an alarming rate. For this purpose, the western part of United States, which had not yet been discovered, was subjected to massive development, economic growth, formation of industries and allowing settlers to move towards the west. Railroads played a significant role in contributing towards the development and urbanization of America's West. The goal
The development of the American automobile industry is one of the best examples of this interplay: "Unlike European manufacturers, who concentrated on expensive motorcars for the rich, American entrepreneurs early turned to economical vehicles that could be mass-produced," (Jackson 159). The fact that so many Americans then became capable of purchasing a car both fed the notion of the American dream, and also served to expand American cities and
4). 2.4 Effects of Environment: Concerns related to carbon emission were heightened in mid-2000s and in 2007 Al-Gore in his book 'An inconvenient Truth' condemned the big three saying "They keep trying to sell large, inefficient gas-guzzlers even though fewer and fewer people are buying them." In comparison to other developed countries in Europe and Asia, American standard for distance covered in one U.S. gallon was only 25 mpg (miles per gallon).
Individuals could not grow their own food, given the space and land constraints and therefore were dependant upon the city infrastructure to provide it. This then creates additional industry, and the story goes on to build whole insular and expansive systems within the city to meet the needs of labor and industry. Agricultural support systems, in outlying areas, transportation systems to make logistics of such provision possible as well
