Well for the first time I have found a missing definition in the notes. In Chapter 30 notes it deals with progressivism but there is no mention of The Jungle. A few words on that would really be a help in the summaries.
If there are any others missing just post them here and hopefully one of the mods will look.

I can't be positive, but I am pretty sure Upton Sinclair (author of Jungle) was a muckraker. A lot of muckrakers and their books and reforms are mentioned in chapter 29.
And just an aside, the jungle was an indepth look into the "dark" life of the meat packing industry that led to the food and drug administrations and meat inspection groups.

You are correct, sir.

My teacher makes a lot of packets...a lot of packets. So I have noticed a couple of missing deffinitions especially in chapter 35. I'll post them later when I find my packet...

You can't really expect every definition to be in all the chapters, especially ones about the never ending facts of WWII. I think the chapter gives a nice summary of the events leading up to WWII. I guess that is just me.

Political Machine--(this word was not defined in the book)
| QUOTE |
| A political machine is an unofficial system of a political organization based on patronage, the spoils system, "behind-the-scenes" control, and longstanding political ties within the structure of a representative democracy. Machines sometimes have a boss, and always have a long-term corps of dedicated workers who depend on the patronage generated by government contracts and jobs. Machine politics has existed in many United States cities, especially between about 1875 and 1950, but continuing in some cases down to the present day. |
