'''KaraH''' -- ''In Progress''

'''1.''' There's a number of things I could have done to better prepare myself for this test. Had I all the time in the world, I would have read all the lectures leading up to the midterm instead of simply focusing on the terms. As it was, I really only focused on the bolded terms, I wish now I had studied the terms that weren't in bold much better then I did. One thing in any period of history I could really work on are the seemingly smallest details which often times make a huge deal later on.

'''7.''' It would appear that it's depicting Teddy Roosevelt to be coming in between Russia and Japan. This would represent the Russo-Japanese War, when Roosevelt asked for representatives of both countries to come to America to discuss peaceable options.

H2) Free speech is free speech. It's what makes America "the land of the free," and when something gets in the way of that, there's a situation. The Postal Service was given the right to ban or confiscate anything that could be treasonable, so that would mean people didn't have the freedom to say what they pleased. It was illegal to go against things the government said was good, which is another infraction in free speech, and you could do serious jail time if you aided "the enemy." That last one seems to be a good idea, but if you don't have freedom to believe in what you want, and help those who you want to help, then there's no real freedom. There's no real point for there to be people supporting the "opposite site" here in America, but it's perfectly possible. For example, I really don't like the Yankees. That didn't keep me from going to a Yankee game, I simply supported the other side. Because that's freedom, I'm allowed to do that. When a certain rule or law gets in the way of that, like during World War 1, all real freedom for the common man was taken away if they couldn't discuss their thoughts through something so simple as the mail.

'''H3)''' I don't think Prohibition of alcohol was at all good. When something is made to be illegal, human nature somehow wants to do whatever is illegal even more then when it was legal. I've been told that the countries that don't really have many laws against alcohol have fewer problems with the stuff compared with the countries that have many laws against it. I admit, it seems alcohol is rarely treated with respect, but it can be used for good. When small amounts are used for celebrations, it can make a simple occasion all that much more special.
