3. Vorschau ausgewählter Lernkarten (US-Geschichte )

Stufe	Vorderseite (Frage / Begriff)	Rückseite (Antwort / Erklärung)
basic	How did maize cultivation shape indigenous societies in the American Southwest (such as the Pueblo) before 1491?	Maize agriculture supported permanent adobe settlements, advanced irrigation systems, social diversification, and large sedentary populations in an arid climate.
basic	Why did Native American societies of the Great Basin and Great Plains remain largely mobile hunter-gatherers prior to European arrival?	Arid climates and lack of natural irrigation limited farming, leading them to rely on hunting bison and foraging across vast territories, later accelerated by the introduction of Spanish horses.
basic	Why is Thomas Jefferson's election in 1800 called the 'Revolution of 1800'?	It marked the first peaceful transfer of power between rival political parties (Federalists to Democratic-Republicans) in modern U.S. history, proving that a constitutional republic could endure partisan transition without violence.
basic	Why did the Louisiana Purchase (1803) present a constitutional dilemma for President Thomas Jefferson?	Jefferson championed strict construction of the Constitution, which contained no explicit clause authorizing the president to acquire foreign territory; however, he set aside his strict constructionist scruples to double the nation's size and secure New Orleans for western farmers.
intermediate	What was 'Manifest Destiny,' coined by journalist John L. O'Sullivan in 1845, and what were President James K. Polk's four major goals?	Manifest Destiny was the belief that God had ordained the United States to expand democracy and Protestant civilization across the North American continent. Polk achieved all four goals: annexing Texas/winning the Mexican Cession, settling Oregon at the 49th parallel, lowering tariffs (Walker Tariff), and re-establishing an Independent Treasury.
intermediate	Why did the United States delay annexing the Republic of Texas for nine years after it won independence from Mexico in 1836?	Northern Whigs and abolitionists fiercely opposed adding a vast new slave territory that could be carved into multiple slave states, upsetting the sectional balance in Congress and provoking war with Mexico.
intermediate	Contrast 'Vertical Integration' (Andrew Carnegie in steel) and 'Horizontal Integration' (John D. Rockefeller in Standard Oil) during the Gilded Age.	Vertical integration controlled every stage of the supply chain from raw materials (iron ore mines, coal, railroads) to finished steel mills; horizontal integration bought out or merged with competing oil refineries at the same production stage to establish a monopoly trust.
intermediate	How did Gilded Age industrialists use 'Social Darwinism' and Andrew Carnegie's 'Gospel of Wealth' (1889) to justify extreme wealth inequality?	Social Darwinists (Herbert Spencer, William Graham Sumner) applied 'survival of the fittest' to laissez-faire capitalism to argue against government regulation or poor relief; Carnegie's 'Gospel of Wealth' argued that the rich had a moral obligation to act as trustees and fund public institutions (libraries, universities) rather than give direct charity.
advanced	What was the doctrine of 'Containment' articulated by diplomat George F. Kennan in 1946–1947, and how was it implemented in the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, and NATO?	Kennan argued the USSR was inherently expansionist and had to be 'contained' through firm, patient counter-force wherever it tried to expand. Truman Doctrine (1947): $400 million in military/economic aid to Greece and Turkey to resist communism; Marshall Plan (1948): $13 billion to rebuild Western European economies; NATO (1949): First peacetime collective security alliance in U.S. history.
advanced	What did NSC-68 (1950) recommend, and how did the Korean War (1950–1953) put it into practice?	NSC-68 called for a massive, permanent quadrupling of U.S. peacetime defense spending and global military containment. When North Korea invaded South Korea in June 1950, Truman intervened under UN auspices without a formal Congressional declaration of war, firing General Douglas MacArthur when MacArthur publicly demanded expanding the war into China; the war ended in a 1953 armistice near the 38th parallel.
advanced	Contrast the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Connecticut (Great) Compromise at the 1787 Constitutional Convention.	The Virginia Plan (James Madison) proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population (favoring large states); the New Jersey Plan (William Paterson) proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state (favoring small states). Roger Sherman's Great Compromise created a bicameral Congress with a population-based House of Representatives and an equal-representation Senate (2 per state).
advanced	What were the Three-Fifths Compromise and the Slave Trade Compromise at the Constitutional Convention?	Three-Fifths Compromise: Every five enslaved persons were counted as three free persons for both apportioning seats in the House of Representatives (and Electoral College) and levying direct taxes. Slave Trade Compromise: Congress was prohibited from banning the international importation of enslaved people for 20 years (until 1808), while Congress gained power to regulate interstate and foreign commerce by simple majority.
