    WWII

    POSTED AT 09:46 AM

    In March 1942, United States General John DeWitt ordered the evacuation of all persons of Japanese descent from the western half of Washington, Oregon, California, and from southern Arizona.  The government removed more than 100,000 people of Japanese birth and ancestry from their homes to relocation centers.  Most of the evacuees were American citizens.  DeWitt explained the evacuation by saying, "It makes no difference whether a Japanese is theoretically a citizen.  He is still Japanese..."  Do you think the government ever has the right to relocate or keep a group in detention?  Why or why not?

    The Great Depression and Tough Decisions

    POSTED AT 05:33 PM

    How would you economize if your family's income was drastically reduced and there was no aid available?  What would you give up first?  How would you cut back?  How would you help your family?  Would you resort to illegal activities?

    Government and Democracy During World War I

    POSTED AT 06:43 PM

    Identify the actions the government took to organize the war effort.  Please list the effects of those actions.  Then discuss why the government tends to expand its control in wartime.  Do you think all of the government's actions on the home front in World War I were necessary?

    How did leadership affect the North's (Union) and the South's (Confederate) campaigns?  Make sure to address the question from a military and political view point.

    Manifest Destiny

    POSTED AT 05:05 PM

    In the 1800s, many Americans believed that the United States was destined to reach from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.  This national mission also implied that Americans were superior to their neighbors who also controlled territory in North America.  Did this belief in American superiority contradict the spirit of equality important to so many Americans.  Can you find other instances in American history when Americans believed their nation had a special destiny?
