Spanish-American War- A “splendid little war” between the United States and Spain that started on April 25th and ended on August 12th, 1898. The conflict was started when the United States became involved in the conflict between the Spanish and the inhabitants of Cuba. When the USS Maine went to Cuba to project American and exploded in the harbor the United States blamed the Spanish and declared war. The war was relatively short and one-sided since the United States was a rising world power and the Spanish were losing their long-held empire. When the conflict concluded the United States won Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Filipinos that expected independence after the defeat of the Spanish were disappointed by the U.S. occupation and fought a violent rebellion which was brutally suppressed.

9.) Yellow Journalist (Hearst, Pulitzer)

1900-1920


 * Yellow Journalist-**

Yellow journalism is a type of journalism that instead of repoting all news it just reports scandals and other types of news that seem appealing. It doesn't always cover the most legitimate topics. Yellow journalists display their stories with lots of pictures and big bold headlines. These tactics make the newspaper/magazine seem less boring and and more appealing then other standard newspapers, and most cases sell more.

The origins of yellow jouranilsm began in 1895 in New York when two newspapers the __New York World__ (Joseph Pulitzer) and __The New York Journal__ (William Randolph Hearst) began competing for circulation, and each newspaper started adding stuff to gain popularity. The term Yellow Journalism came from the comic strip that were included in these types of papers called Yellow Boy,what happend was the ink from the comic strip spread and caused all the pages to be tinted yellow thus coining the phrase Yellow Journalism.

Jim Crow Jim Crow were a set of laws that seperated the blacks and the whites in public places. They rules were set primarily in the south but not exclusively. The rules restricted blacks from using the white bathrooms, restaurants, and any other place that it would be seen that blacks and whitets were mixing. The segregation was de jure meaning that it was inacted though a fixed set of laws. The laws may differ slightly from town to town but the single mindset of the southern american white male was that blacks could in no case come near the whites. However not all whites enacted the ideals of Jim Crow. Those that didnt were heavily scrutinized and many of the whites within the town would turn against them. The blacks were thought to be unclean and filthy and in all cases inferior to the white american, even though the adopted slogan was "seperate but equal." Quickly the blacks became tired of the treatment that they recieved, and started forming groups. These early groups eventually gave rise to what we know today as the Civil Rights Movement.

3.)Women’s Suffrage Movement Women's Suffrage- In the early 19th century may women were second-class citizens because their life only consisted of taking care of their homes and their familys. Many women after they were married were not allowed to own property, maintain wages, sign a contract, or even vote. Many women in the 19th century had to be independent on their husbands. Women were not allowed to travel or better yet speak in public. Women had to listen to their husbands at all times and the women were inferior to their husbands. Alice Paul and The National Women's Party begun using more tactics to work for a federal suffrage amendment to the constitution. The women staged the white house with large marches and demonstrations, going to jail. While these women were going on march they would strave their self the whole time through out the march and the police forced tubes down the womens throat so that they could eat. Thousands of women took part in these marches. In 1913 Paul led a march of eight thousand women on President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration day. During the second inaugural Paul led a march around the White House. During World War 1, when women took up jobs in factories to support the war, as well as taking more active roles in the war than in previous wars. After the war, even the more restrained National American Woman Suffrage Association, headed by Carrie Chapman Catt, took many opportunities to remind the President, and the Congress, that women's war work should be rewarded with recognition of their political equality. Wilson responded by beginning to support woman suffrage. On June 4, 1919, the United States Senate also endorsed the Amendment, voting 56 to 25, and sending the amendment to the states. And so on August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution became law, and women could vote in the fall elections, including in the Presidential election. \

14.) John Muir was born on April 21, 1838 and was a Scottish-born American. He was a naturalist, author, and advocate of conservation of the wilderness. He walked a thousand miles, from Indiana to Florida, and then wrote a book about his adventures called, "A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf." He planned to continue on to South America, but was stricken with malaria and went to California instead. His books telling about his adventures in the wildlife have been read by millions and are still popular today. His writings and philosophy influenced the formation of the modern enviromental movement. His activism helped save the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park, and other wilderness areas. He founded the Sierra Club, which is now one of the most important conservations in the U.S.

For the United States presidential election of 1912 it was fought among three major candidates, two of whom had previously won election to the office. Incumbent President William Howard Taft was renominated by the Republican party with the support of the conservative wing of the party. After former President Theodore Roosevelt failed to get the Republican nomination, he called his own convention and created a new Progressive Party which was nicknamed the Bull Moose Party. It nominated Roosevelt and ran candidates for other offices in major states. Democrat Woodrow Wilson was nominated on the 46th ballot of a contentious convention, thanks to the support of William Jennings Bryan. He defeated both Taft and Roosevelt in the general election, winning a huge majority in the Electoral College despite only winning 42% of the popular vote, and initiating the only period between 1892 and 1932 when a Democrat was elected President. Wilson was the second of only two Democrats to be elected President between 1860 and 1932. This was also the last election in which a third party candidate came in second in the Electoral College.

MisCellanous 11.) Temperance Movement om the beginning of the 20th century, until the early twenties, organizations made the issue of prohibition of alcohol a national issue. This effort came with the passage of the eighteenth amendment banning the sale, or consumption of alcohol anywhere in the US. In order to get their point across prohibitionists needed to prove the evils which were presented by alcohol. Groups like the American Medical Association, along with other members of the educated public, joined forces in order to fight the evils which alcohol presented. These people, along with businessmen, tried to explain how alcohol violated the theories of proper social life. Other groups tried to show how alcohol would ruin the American way of life. Women were the major force behind the temperance movement. The reason for this was because they were afraid of the abuse, disease, and poverty which was brought on by alcohol. Women were looking to preserve the purity of the American family, and therefore were very involved in influencing legislation. But the Temperance movement was a total <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">disaster.
