3
As Americans moved westward
adding new territory, they came
in conflict with Native
Americans who occupied their
lands for hundreds of years.

4
The United States Calvary battled
Native American tribes for years.
In 1830 Congress passed the Indian
Removal Act which created special
Indian reservations in an effort to
isolate Native Americans and take
away most of their lands.

Class Discussion
 What problems were created for
Native Americans as the United States
expanded and moved westward?
 Were the Native Americans treated
fairly?
5

Discuss
How many Native
American tribes can you
name?
6

8
In less than 70 years,
the U.S. acquired
enough new territory to
more than triple the
size of the country.

Discuss
 Which country use to own the
territory occupied by Texas
and California?
 How did the United States end
up owning those territories?
9

11
The U.S. grew rapidly
using war and purchasing
power to expand.

Class Discussion
 Which parts of the United States use
to belong to Mexico?
 How did these states become part of
the U.S.?
12

16
During the 1860’s the
Homestead Act offered
160 acres per family to
settle new territories.

Discuss
 Why do you think the U.S. government
gave settlers 160 acres of free land?
 How many houses do you think you
could build on 160 acres?
18

19
The excitement of free land led
thousands of adventurous settlers
to enter races or land rushes to
get the best parcels of land.

21
As Americans moved westward, new
and more advanced forms of
transportation became very important.

Discuss
 What kind of transportation do you
think people used during the 1800’s?
 How were people and goods
transported over long distances?
22

24
American ingenuity led to
the invention of the iron
horse or railroads.
Hauling cattle to market
and supplies to settlers
became much easier.

26
The development and
growth of western towns
depended on the route
chosen by railroads.

Discuss
 Why do think having a railroad go
through a small western town would
be important?
 How might a town be affected by
having a railroad choose to go through
a town twenty miles away?
27

29
During the 1800’s new
inventions powered an
industrial revolution
throughout America.

31
America changed from
making hand crafted
products to manufacturing
products with machines
and factories.

33
As the United States
entered the 20th century,
many modern inventions
improved the quality of
life for all Americans.

35
Today America leads the
world in creative ideas
and inventions.

Conduct Research
on the Issues
 Use technology and text sources to research how the
Industrial Revolution changed the way products were
produced in the United States. Compare and contrast the
present and the past, and explain how new inventions
and new technology have changed the way products are
made today. What effects have these changes have had
on people’s lives.
 This will be a short research assignment and should
generate two or three pages of notes. The notes will
used during the next class discussion to review ideas.
75

Essential Questions
to Guide Research
 1. How did the industrial revolution change how
products were made?
 What were the most important changes in transportation
and communication during the last 150 years?
 How has technology changed the way products are
made and distributed today?
 As a result of new technology, how have American’s jobs
and careers changed during the last 150 years?
 How have the lives of young people changed during the

a “melting pot” of ideas
and cultures. Research
how immigration and
innovation enabled
America to expand and
develop into a
prosperous, industrial
nation. 97

convincing paper, it is
very important to
evaluate the facts, and
see if they support
your main points.

investigation of the
topic.
98

Inquiring Minds want to Know
Essential Questions
 How did the flow of immigrants from other countries change
America?
 Where did most immigrants come from, and where did they settle in
America?
 What contributions did immigrants make to the development of
America?
 How did new inventions and industries contribute to the “melting
pot” of ideas and rapid industrialization in America?
 What were the most important inventions of the 1800’s?
 How did these inventions change the lives of Americans?
 How have modern inventions changed our lives today?
99

The Proof is in the Pudding
 The Issue: What impact
did immigration and
innovation have on the
expansion and industrial
development of
America?
 Your assignment is to research
this issue, collect main ideas,
support your ideas with
evidence, and write a clear
and convincing report . 100
