Popular architecture in the United States in the beginning of the twentieth
century paid respect to elaborately ornate historical motifs. The new
skyscrapers sprouting up at the time were often ornately finished with
elements of Gothic or Roman detailing. During this period of emphasis on
intricate ornamentation, certain architects began moving in a different
direction, from the historic attention to ornate detailing toward more modern
design typified by simplified flowing lines. Frank Lloyd Wright, the best known
of these early modern architects, started work in Chicago designing “prairie
houses,” long low buildings featuring flowing horizontal lines and simplistic
unity of design. These buildings were intended to fit the wide open expanses
of Midwest plains that served as a setting for Chicago. These “prairie houses,”
found in Chicago’s suburban areas, served to tie the rapidly developing
neighborhoods of Chicago with its plains heritage.

In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply
the colonies with coins and it did not allow the colonies to make their own
coins, except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received permission for
a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted
to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade: America was
forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy
products from other countries. The result during this pre-revolutionary period
was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts,
Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used as substitutes
for money. The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could
obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the
American colonies .

During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the war, so each
of the individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper
money. So much of this paper money was printed that by the end of the war it
was virtually worthless. As a result, trade in goods and the use of foreign
coins still flourished .

By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists,
the monetary system was in a state of total disarray. To remedy this situation,
the new Constitution of the United States, approved in 1789, allowed only
Congress to issue money. The individual states could no longer have
their own money supply. A few years later, the Coinage Act of 1792 made the
dollar the official currency of the United States and put the country on a
bimetallic standard. In this bimetallic system, both gold and silver were legal
money, and the rate of exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the
government at sixteen to one .

a.) American money from past to present
b.) The English monetary policies in colonial America
c.) The effect of the Revolution on American money
d.) The American monetary system of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries

37.The passage indicates that during the colonial period, money was
a.) supplied by England
b.) coined freely by the colonists
c.) scarce
d.) used extensively for trade

38. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was allowed to make coins
a.) continuously from the inception of the colony
b.) throughout the seventeenth century
c.) from 1652 until the Revolutionary War
d.) for a short time during one year

39. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a substitute
for money during the colonial period?

a.) Wampum
b.) Cotton
c.) Tobacco
