Today we are going to continue with our mopping like the Koreans.. atleast I think that is what Mr. Bruns said...8. What is segregation? What did progressives do to help African-Americans?Segregation is the seperation of the races. There were two main cases with segregation, those were Plessy v. Fergeson in 1896, and Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas in 1953. Plessy v. Ferguson ruled the for thinfgs to be "seperate but equal" when in reality everthing was seperate but unequal. In the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas the Plessy v. Fergusen case was overruled in which things were no longer made seperate. At first african americans thought the problem in the whole "seprerate but equal" theory was the fact that they were unequal, but they soon came to realize that the problem was indeed that they were seperated, and came to knowledge that if they were not seperated, then things would be more equal.10. What did progressives (Teddy Roosevelt) do to help conserve land and resources in our country?The passed the Newlands Act-The newlands act sold western lands and made dams for irrigation. The act was passed in 1902.TR was the president that set aside the most land... by far.12. How did progressives (chhhhhhh) change the tariff laws in our country? What was/were the progressives philosiphies on tariffs. Descrive the Federal Reserve System.Generally progressives wanted to lower the tarriffs because it broght up the competition and it benefited the common person and lowered the prices of goods. President Taft agreed to lower the tarriffs but he made the Payne-Aldrich Tarriff which increased many tarriffs and this upsetted a lot of progressives. President Taft also removed land the Roosevelt had previously set aside for conservation which really ticked Roosevelt off. Due to the problems that Taft caused, the republicans tried to split into two groups called the old-gaurd republicans and the progressive republicans. This split gaurenteed a democratic win because the republican results were split up.
