Answer 3

Do you have any ideas first?

Answer 4

I think it's B. D seems like the wrong one since the poster doesn't mention anything about working overseas

Answer 5

You are right, it is B.

Nurses could either volunteer for the Red Cross, or serve in the military corps. They were needed drastically for both. Often many went overseas as well and served in what we now call MASH camps (which are just medical camps).

Answer 6

Thanks! I'll fan and medal if I get the answer right, but I'm very confident I will!

Answer 7

Ok! Good luck :)

Answer 8

Would you mind helping me with a few more questions? @Lady.Liv1776

Answer 9

Sure, I'll try my best.

And how did you do? Did you get the question right?

Answer 10

Idk yet, I'm still doing the test. I'll probably tell you later today or tomorrow if I got it correct.

Answer 11

Okay sounds good

Answer 12

Which of the following was an effect of demobilization following WWI?

The unemployment rate fell dramatically.
Minorities entered the workforce in large numbers.
The global economy increased.
Women were forced out of their jobs.

I'm leaning towards A or D

Answer 13

Wait, WWI or WWII

Answer 14

World War One

Answer 15

Okay. I would say A.

Women didn't necessarily hold jobs. The only jobs they really held were nursing jobs, but most transferred to hospitals after the war.

Answer 16

With which of these positions would President Calvin Coolidge have agreed?

The key to economic growth is strict government control of business.
Farmers and factory workers must be supported for the U.S. economy to grow.
To improve the economy, government should do little to regulate business.
Economic growth can only occur when business leaders and politicians work together.

I think it's A

Answer 17

I think you are right

Answer 18

You sure? I'm not as confident in my answer...lol

Answer 19

hmmm well let me see...

Coolidge was a supporter of laissez-faire free market capitalism and was an economic nationalist (following the tradition of conservatives during the 19th century). He supported high tariffs to protect American businesses from foreign competition, massive tax cuts and greatly reducing spending. As well as tight monetary policy and low inflation.

So actually...it could be C.

Answer 20

Yeah I was stuck between A or C. I'll go with C.


Why did the government encourage Americans to grow food in victory gardens during World War I?

to sell the food to raise money for the war effort
to have more food available to feed the troops
to stockpile the food in case of a German invasion
to create food banks to help those affected by food shortages

Answer 21

It's not B or C. Do you think it's A or D?

Answer 22

I would think it's A, but it could also be D...haha

Answer 23

You are correct, it is A

Answer 24

This quotation is from an article entitled "The Talented Tenth," written by W.E.B. DuBois:
"Was there ever a nation on God's fair earth civilized from the bottom upward? Never; it is, ever was and ever will be from the top downward that culture filters. The Talented Tenth rises and pulls all that are worth the saving up to their vantage ground. This is the history of human progress."

How did DuBois's beliefs about achieving equality, as reflected in this quotation, differ from those of Booker T. Washington?

A. DuBois believed that trade colleges such as the Tuskegee Institute would bring about equality; Washington believed that a liberal arts education would bring about equality.
B. DuBois believed that education and vocational training would bring about equality; Washington believed that the work of the NAACP would bring about equality.
C. DuBois believed that a liberal arts education would bring about equality; Washington believed that those trained by the Niagara Movement would bring about equality.
D. DuBois believed that gifted African American leaders would bring about equality; Washington believed that education and vocational training would bring about equality.

Answer 25

I think it's D

Answer 26

Hmmmm this is a tricky one...but I would go with D as well

Answer 27

The following quotation is from a 1905 newspaper interview with Eugene E. Schmitz, San Francisco's mayor:
"The Japanese are far more dangerous to us than the Chinese. . . . It is my firm belief that an exclusion act, even more stringent than the present one, should be passed in the matter of the Japanese immigrants. . . . The Chinese are dangerous enough, but the Japanese would drive all competition out of business."

Source: http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/rbpe: @field%28DOCID+@lit%28rbpe0020220a%29%29

Which of these do the mayor's comments foreshadow?

the Great Migration
the Chinese Exclusion Act
the Gentlemen's Agreement
the Immigration Act of 1924

Answer 28

The Gentleman's Agreement

Answer 29

I thought it was the Chinese Exclusion Act...

Answer 30

No, the Chinese exclusion act prohibited Chinese laborers and immigrants. He says here that the Japanese are the real danger.

Answer 31

I would go with the Gentleman's Agreement. I just read the difference

Answer 32

That was my last question! I'll tell you if I got my answers correct tomorrow.
