Terms to review for the Term One Final in AP United States History
Gr oup s
Free-Soil Party - was a political group organized in Buffalo, N.Y., in 1848. The party opposed the
extension of slavery into the territories and the admission of new slave states to the Union.
Many members of the party had once belonged to the Liberty Party (see LIBERTY PARTY). The
Free Soil Party was joined and strengthened by a discontented faction of the Democratic Party in
New York that was known as the Barnburners.
Populist Party (Peoples Party) - In 1891, the farmers' alliances met with delegates from labor and reform
groups in Cincinnati, Ohio, and discussed forming a new political party. They formed the
People's Party, usually called the Populist Party, a year later in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1892, the
party nominated James B. Weaver of Iowa for President and James G. Field of Virginia for Vice
President. Their platform called for free silver, government ownership of railroads and telegraph
and telephone lines, and many political reforms. The candidates did not win, but they received
more than a million popular votes and 22 electoral votes. Nine Populists were elected to
Congress.
Knights of Labor - Labor was one of the most important early labor organizations in America. It was the
first to organize all workers into a single union, rather than into separate trade unions. Its
official name was The Noble Order of the Knights of Labor. It became powerful when a strike
forced railroads owned by Jay Gould to meet its demands in 1885. Membership rose from about
100,000 to 700,000 within a year. However, the Knights lost a second strike against Gould's
railroads in 1886. That defeat, and the antilabor feelings that followed the Haymarket Riot in
Chicago, caused the group's membership to decline.
Industrial Workers of the World - was a radical labor organization founded in 1905 to oppose the
conservative policies of the American Federation of Labor (AFL). The AFL used craft unions,
which separated workers by skills and trades. The IWW wanted to replace the craft unions with
an organization of industrial unions. These unions would organize workers without regard to
skill or trade. Members of the IWW, often called Wobblies, acted through strikes, boycotts, and
sabotage. The Wobblies shared many of the aims and methods of syndicalism, a movement to
abolish capitalism and national government (see SYNDICALISM). In 1908, the Wobblies rejected
the use of political action. They hoped to lead a general strike to overthrow the capitalist
system. They would then create a classless, socialist society in which workers would control the
government and economy through industrial unions. But the IWW had far too few members to
achieve such a goal.
Know-Nothing Party – restrict and immigrant rights R
American Federation of Labor - In 1881, Samuel Gompers and other leaders organized a federation that,
unlike the Knights of Labor, included only wage earners. It was called the Federation of
Organized. Trades and Labor Unions of the United States and Canada. In 1886, the federation
was reorganized and changed its name to the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Gompers
became the AFL's first president. He served as its president for 37 years--from 1886 to 1894 and
from 1896 until his death in 1924. Under Gompers' leadership, the AFL stressed wage increases
and other job demands instead of political issues. The group's chief means of achieving its goals
was collective bargaining. Another AFL tactic was the use of marks called union labels to
identify goods manufactured by its members. The federation urged shoppers to "look for the
union label" and buy union-made products.
Other
Transcendentalism - was a philosophy that became influential during the late 1700's and 1800's. It was
based on the belief that knowledge is not limited to and solely derived from experience and
observation. It thus opposed the philosophy of empiricism--that knowledge comes from
experience. Transcendentalism also stated that the solution to human problems lies in the free
development of individual emotions. According to transcendentalism, reality exists only in the
world of the spirit. What a person observes in the physical world are only appearances, or
impermanent reflections of the world of the spirit. People learn about the physical world
through their senses and understanding. But they learn about the world of the spirit through
another power, called reason. The transcendentalists defined reason as the personal,
independent, and intuitive capacity to know what is absolutely true.

Proclamation of 1763 – purpose
Dawes Act of 1887 - broke up tribal land holdings. In 1893, Congress created the Dawes Commission to
help settle problems with the Five Civilized Tribes. Under the Curtis Act of 1898, Congress
gradually dissolved tribal laws and courts, and brought the Indians under the laws and courts of
the United States. Provision was made for the incorporation and government of towns. An act
in 1901 made all the Indians of the Indian Territory citizens of the United States. By 1900, the
population of the Indian Territory had grown to nearly 400,000, with six times as many whites
as Indians. The demand for state government was strong. A constitution for the proposed state
of Sequoyah was approved by the people in 1905. But Congress had other plans. In 1906, it
passed an enabling act by which Oklahoma and Indian Territory could join to become a single
state. Under the terms of this act, the state of Oklahoma was admitted to the Union on Nov. 16,
1907. The Indian Territory ceased to exist.
Sherman Anti-Trust Act - During the late 1800's, business leaders in several major industries brought
nearly all of their competitors under common control by forming a type of organization called a
trust. They eliminated most of the remaining competition by cutting prices to force smaller
firms out of business. The trusts then limited production and raised prices. A public outcry
against abuses by the trusts led to the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890. The act
outlaws any contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade. It also prohibits any
person or business from monopolizing or attempting to monopolize any market.
Monroe Doctrine – what was the overall purpose – asserted US independence in the realm of foreign
