Midterm Question and Answers

1. What were the reason(s) for the Three-Fifths Compromise?
One major issue that delegates faced was giving fair representation to both large and small states. Each state would have equal representation in the Senate. The size of the population of each state would determine the numbers in the House of Representatives. The great compromise set up one issue that led conflict to another. Southerners whose states had a large number of slaves included in the population count that determined the number of people in the House. The Northern states did not want this since they had very few slaves. Not counting slaves gave Northerners more representatives than the the Southerners. The delegates eventually agreed to the Three-Fifths Compromise, which called for three-fifths of a state's slaves to be counted as part of the population.

Some left due to the rise of population which resulted in scarcity for land jobs. Farmers competed with laborers for jobs.

4. Why, at the turn of the century, were white Southerners able to get away with discrimination against African-Americans, despite all the laws and amendments that were passed during Reconstruction? Give at least three reasons.
During the 1870's and 80's, the Supreme Court failed to overturn the poll tax or grandfather clause, even though the laws undetermined all federal protections for African Americans' civil rights. Also the racial segregation law, Jim Crow Law, separated the white and black people from public and private facilities. The Court held that the Civil Rights Act of 1875 was unconstitutional and ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment did not prohibit individuals and private organizations from discriminating on the basis of race. However, it was the Supreme Court's decision in Plessy v. Ferguson that led the way to racial segregation. The decision established the doctrine for blacks and whites as long as they provided equal services. it was the Supreme Courts decision in 1954 in Brown v. Board of Education that overturned the Court's decision in Plessy. It held that separate schools were unequal and its ruling helped dismantle racial segregation.

Coming to the United States

How much time was the trip from Europe and Asia, and how would YOU have liked it?

The trip across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe took approximately one week while crossing the Pacific Ocean to get to Asia took nearly 3 weeks. I would not have liked being an immigrant coming to Asian not just due to the lengthy trips but also how they were kept in the gloom crowded with many other immigrants with no way of exercise or fresh air being in the glooms they had to sleep close building sweat and having to sleep in louse-infested bunks while sharing toilets with one another. With those conditions many died and were not able to even make it to the United States. I could of been one of those people that died too..

What are the names of the main immigration processing stations in San Francisco & New York? Describe the immigrant’s experience at each.

There were two main immigration processing stations. One in San Francisco Bay called Angel Island, and the other that was at Castle Garden in New York, which was later moved to New Harbor named Ellis Island. At Ellis Island the whole ordeal might have taken 5 hours or more. They had to pass a physical exam making sure they had no disease. Those who passed would report to a government inspector checking whether they met the legal requirements: Never being convicted of a felony, showing they could work, and that they had some money which was at least $25  after 1909. At Angel Island the concept of the processing was alike. The immigrants had just endured harsher questioning and had to wait in filthy detention facilities while they waited for there acceptance.

Essential Question 

Everyone including President Theodore Roosevelt was nauseated by Sinclair's accounts of the factories. He described the conditions in his book The Jungle which was a research novel made in 1904. The president had promised that if the accounts were true he would put in some action. Since the allegations he made were indeed true, the president responded by pushing for passage of the Meat Inspection Act that was eventually passed. Sinclair writing The Jungle made him a progressive since he wrote the book for change.
