Brittany Snyder Ms. D?Urso 1/12/12 Not only did the decision of the U.S. to partake in World War 1 cause controversy, but the peace terms after did, too. Wilson?s ?God-like? vibe and aggressive attitude to accept the treaty were part of his downfall. Henry Cabot Lodge Senior, a Republican, who did not completely oppose the treaty, wanted fourteen reservations on the treaty. Stubborn Wilson refused to listen to Lodge and the treaty was defeated twice, both with and without the reservations. Wilson?s ineptitude, stubbornness, and ignorance lead to the demise of the Treaty of Versailles.

Brittany Snyder Martha Smith Sarah Segovia 1. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act were roots of the Sagebrush Rebellion. These laws stated that public land must be kept in perpetual trust by the federal government. The significance of this was that these acts destroyed any last hope that the Westerners had of public lands being turned over to local governments. Another example of disapproval in the Sagebrush Rebellion was in Idaho, where a business assembly fought the expansion of the Snake River Birds of Prey national Conservation Area.

Alondra Guzman Pd.2/AP US History 9.28.12 The American & British Views The French and Indian War, was a prerevolutionary extension of the Seven Years War that seized Europe from 1756 until 1763. It was known as the bloodiest American war in the 18th century and took more lives than the American Revolution. The war was the consequence of an imperial struggle, wealth and the clash between the French and English over the colonial territory. This war was seen as the product of the center of rivalry between the British and the French colonists. The American and the British had very distinct views regarding the results on the French and Indian war.

A.???The Unhealthy Chesapeake 1.?????Life in the American wilderness was nasty, brutish, and short for the earliest Chesapeake settlers; malaria, dysentery, and typhoid took a cruel toll, cutting ten years off the life expectancy of newcomers (half of people born in early Virginia/Maryland did not survive to twenty) 2.?????The disease-ravaged settlements of the Chesapeake grew only slowly in the seventeenth century, mostly through fresh immigration from England; the majority of immigrants were single men in their late teens and early twenties, and most perished soon after arrival a.?????Surviving males competed for the affections of the extremely scarce women, whom they outnumbered nearly six to one in 1650
