Question 1

The following questions refer to the excerpt below.
"As a group,workers faced severe limitations on their political influence. The conservative nature of the major parties,institutional discrimination against third parties,and ethnic divisions that made some workingmen Democrats and others Republicans all placed obstacles in front of even those most empowered workers,the white men possessing citizenship. Far more striking was the way America's political system victimized female…and African-American workers through disenfranchisement… These barriers extinguished any possibility that American workers could become a united political force during the Gilded Age."

A) were met with hostility and led to attacks on those perceived as radical.
B) vastly improved standards of living for workers.
C) served to unite the objectives of business owners and their workers.
D) influenced the nation's decision to enter World War I.

Accepted Answer

The Share Our Wealth movement, as outlined in the passage, was focused on redistributing wealth and providing government assistance to the elderly. This aligns with the goals of the New Deal reforms implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression. Therefore, the passage suggests that calls for reform such as those proposed by Huey Long would lead to the expansion of New Deal reforms.

Question 2

The following questions refer to the excerpt below.
"As a group,workers faced severe limitations on their political influence. The conservative nature of the major parties,institutional discrimination against third parties,and ethnic divisions that made some workingmen Democrats and others Republicans all placed obstacles in front of even those most empowered workers,the white men possessing citizenship. Far more striking was the way America's political system victimized female…and African-American workers through disenfranchisement… These barriers extinguished any possibility that American workers could become a united political force during the Gilded Age."
Julie Green,Pure and Simple Politics: The American Federation of Labor and Political Activism,

A) The easing of the nation's immigration policy
B) The support of Progressive reformers
C) The widespread availability of consumer goods
D) The nature of industrial work in the modernizing economy

Accepted Answer

The passage is an example of the rise of journalists cooperating with reformers to call for change. Lincoln Steffens was a journalist who worked with the Progressives to expose corruption in politics and call for reform. The passage reflects Steffen's belief that introducing business methods into politics could lead to positive change if a demand for good government was established.

Question 3

The following questions refer to the excerpt below.
"As a group,workers faced severe limitations on their political influence. The conservative nature of the major parties,institutional discrimination against third parties,and ethnic divisions that made some workingmen Democrats and others Republicans all placed obstacles in front of even those most empowered workers,the white men possessing citizenship. Far more striking was the way America's political system victimized female…and African-American workers through disenfranchisement… These barriers extinguished any possibility that American workers could become a united political force during the Gilded Age."

A) The easing of the nation's immigration policy
B) The support of Progressive reformers
C) The widespread availability of consumer goods
D) The nature of industrial work in the modernizing economy

Accepted Answer

The excerpt reflects concerns that the federal government's reform efforts were not extensive enough to address the crisis, as it advocates for more radical redistribution of wealth and government intervention.

Question 4

The following questions refer to the image below.

Interior of a Shoe Factory,circa 1908
The presence of factories such as this one would

A) undermine the growth of the U.S. economy.
B) cause the expansion of the nation's agricultural sector.
C) encourage immigration and internal migration to the nation's cities.
D) lead to calls for reforms of the nation's economic system.

Accepted Answer

Before the Civil War, factories were more focused on producing raw materials and goods for trade, such as textiles, rather than consumer goods. The shift towards consumer goods production is a notable change in the nature of factories post-Civil War, reflecting the growth of consumer culture and the expansion of the domestic market.

Question 5

The following questions refer to the excerpt below.

A) The easing of the nation's immigration policy
B) The support of Progressive reformers
C) The widespread availability of consumer goods
D) The nature of industrial work in the modernizing economy

Accepted Answer

The passage suggests that politics remains corrupt because of the commercial spirit that dominates it, leading politicians to prioritize profit, credit, and individual gain over national prosperity and principle. However, the author suggests that there is hope if reformers can establish a steady demand for good government. This implies that the focus of reform efforts should be on expanding democracy and promoting good governance, rather than simply supporting candidates of a certain party or offering utopian visions for society.

Question 6

The following questions refer to the excerpt below.
"As a group,workers faced severe limitations on their political influence. The conservative nature of the major parties,institutional discrimination against third parties,and ethnic divisions that made some workingmen Democrats and others Republicans all placed obstacles in front of even those most empowered workers,the white men possessing citizenship.

Accepted Answer

The excerpt suggests that reformers like Lincoln Steffens called for new organizations to address the problems of corruption in politics and government.

A) The easing of the nation's immigration policy
B) The support of Progressive reformers
C) The widespread availability of consumer goods
D) The nature of industrial work in the modernizing economy

Accepted Answer

The excerpt does not directly mention unionization efforts from 1900 to 1920, but does suggest that workers faced limitations on their political influence and that institutional discrimination made it difficult for American workers to become a united political force during the Gilded Age. The mention of "attacks on those perceived as radical" suggests that union organizers would likely face hostility during this period.

Question 10

The following questions refer to the excerpt below.

A) The easing of the nation's immigration policy
B) The support of Progressive reformers
C) The widespread availability of consumer goods
D) The nature of industrial work in the modernizing economy

Accepted Answer

The excerpt mentions that ethnic divisions made some workingmen Democrats and others Republicans, indicating a diverse labor force. Additionally, it also mentions disenfranchisement of African-American workers, suggesting that there were African-American workers in the labor force. Therefore, the migration of African-Americans Northward in search of work would be the best choice.

The following questions refer to the excerpt below.
