TEST CORRECTIONS

I want you to focus on your Annotated Bibliography this week (Due this Thursday)!

SUBJECT: A Return to Normalcy (1919-1929)
 

"America’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality."

Warren G. Harding

Now that the war was over, the country needed a breath of air - a rest - a retreat. And President Warren Harding offered such a respite.

Unfortunately, his administration did not help. Racked with scandal, Harding's time in office was one of a move away from Progressivism and a return to peace. His untimely death brought us his Vice President as our new, thirtieth President, Calvin Coolidge and one of the most prosperous times in America's history - the Roaring 20s!

SUBJECT: World War I 1917-1919 (continued)
 
"Lafayette, we are here"

Charles Stanton, Aide to John J. Persing

America was allied to the French in defeating the British in the Revolutionary War. It was only a notion that General John J. Pershing's aide suggested at the grave of the Marquis de La Fayette (George Washington's French Major-General and friend).

On July 4, 1917, as our "Doughboys" reached France, Stanton made a speech honoring the Revolutionary War hero near his tomb. 

France helped us.
It was now our turn.
Alliances was one of several reasons we went "Over There" to fight Germany and the Central Powers.

QUIZ - this week - review the meanings of the Declaration of Independence Preamble phrases again...

SUBJECT: World War I 1917-1919
 
"This war, like the next war, is a war to end war."

David Lloyd George, Great British Prime Minister

America was not involved in the beginnings of World War I (with the exception of a few, small groups who volunteered - for example, the Lafayette Escadrille).
But we helped finish it.

We will learn how a nation so dedicated to staying OUT of the war, ended up joining in the fight against the Central Powers...essentially being one main reason for the war's end...

...and setting us up for being the next major world power in history.
