HISTORY NOTES 1811-1991 PROGRESS AND POVERTY (1879) 17-2 Henry George was a journalist in San Francisco. He knew that the nation was entering a age of unprecedented wealth, poverty persisted and social inequality widened. To fix the problem he proposed a land value or rent be taxed and the revenues go back to the public. He proposed that a tax on all owned land was better and would profit on a single land tax whether the land was improved by the owner or not improved the same tax would be paid. So the non-producer would no longer toll in luxury while the producer got the barest necessities. THE GOSPEL WEALTH (1889) 17-3

Jennifer Hill Taking Sides Essay Roger Biles believed that the New Deal was an effective answer to the Great Depression. His main argument is that Roosevelt could bring the United States out of the depression because some pieces of the New Deal were not really new. These pieces include increasing farmer?s income, which originated from Woodrow Wilson?s farm credit act. Centralized economic planning, including the National Industry Recovery Act (NIRA) from Wilson?s War Industries Board and labor reform which was generated through state legislatures. Due to the fact that the New Deal had successfully started some programs before the depression, the public and congress didn?t really have a reason not to support it. The New Deal made some

The Territory of Wyoming passes the first law in the nation giving women over age 21 the right to vote. After joining the Union in 1890, Wyoming becomes the first state to permit women the right to vote in all elections, although in 1887, Kansas al- lowed women to vote in municipal elec- tions. The colonies adopt the English system of property ownership for married women, meaning women cannot own property in their own name or keep their own earnings. By 1900, every state will have passed leg- islation modeled after New York?s Mar- ried Women?s Property Act (1848), which grants married women the right to keep their own wages and to own property in their own name. 1769 1848 1868 1869 1869 Racial Equality Issue Splits Two Suffrage Associations

Late Middle Ages Outline Political Institutions ? Decentralized Government ---> Centralized Government As a result of the Decline of Feudalism, (because trade routes opened, people ran away from the manor, etc.) after the crusades, and decline of the Catholic Church, kings began the process of recentralizing power. They had to take away power from the church and nobles to begin the process. They did this by: Taxing the church and nobles The church and nobility never paid taxes due to their extensive amount of land they owned. The king moved to try and force them to pay taxes The king built armies He created independent armies so he wouldn?t be dependent on his vassals (reason to how the king lost his authority in the beginning) More efficient/ centralized government
