The U.S. mobilized its homefront during WWI through the Selective Service Act, which instituted the military draft. Over 4 million Americans served. The government and citizens organized conservation efforts for food and resources to support the war effort. Women entered the workforce previously dominated by men. The government raised funds through Liberty Bond campaigns and "Four Minute Men" gave speeches urging sacrifice and support for the war. Propaganda promoted these efforts through posters, cartoons, and other media.
The Populist Party emerged in response to economic hardship faced by farmers in the late 19th century. Dissatisfied with high railroad rates, declining farm prices, and a currency backed solely by gold, the Populists advocated for bimetallism, regulation of monopolies, and land reform. Though the Populist candidate lost the 1892 and 1896 presidential elections, the party achieved some successes by electing members to state and federal offices and influencing other parties to adopt parts of their platform. Over time, Populist ideas like direct election of senators and women's suffrage were enacted as amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

The document provides an overview of the clash between Native American tribes and white American settlers on the Plains in the mid-19th century. It describes how the Plains Indians numbered around 360,000 in 1860 and roamed freely, but faced increasing pressure from white settlers moving west. An inevitable clash loomed as the acquisitive civilization of the settlers confronted the traditional culture of the tribes. The federal government tried to control the situation through treaties, but settlers did not respect Indian rights and the result was conflict and a receding Native population.
Europeans colonized North America for religious, economic, and political reasons: to convert native people to Christianity, acquire wealth for themselves and their home countries, and increase their home countries' power. They settled in various regions, including Spain, Africa, Japan, China, and established colonies. Contact between European settlers and native Americans led to an exchange of ideas, diseases, and conflicts, which sometimes resulted in wars or treaties.
The American Revolution began with early events like the Boston Massacre and Coercive Acts leading to the formation of the Continental Congresses and early battles like Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill. Independence was declared on July 4, 1776 and was followed by victories at Saratoga and Washington crossing the Delaware along with defeats and a southern campaign. The war concluded with the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781 and the Treaty of Paris in 1783 formally ending the war.
The document provides guidance on studying ten events that shaped US history prior to 1877. It focuses on Reconstruction from 1865-1877, describing it as the period after the Civil War where the South had to be rebuilt and reorganized to rejoin the Union. Key aspects of Reconstruction included the passing of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves. Reconstruction left deep divisions between northern and southern states and the establishment of Jim Crow laws once northern influence withdrew from the South.
After Britain defeated France in the Seven Years' War, the Treaty of Paris in 1763 transferred control of New France to Britain. This led to tensions between the British, French Canadians, Native Americans, and the 13 American colonies. Pontiac's Rebellion and the Proclamation of 1763 drew a boundary line between Native and colonial lands, further straining relations. These tensions contributed to the American Revolution, during which Britain attempted to keep Quebec loyal through the Quebec Act of 1774. The war resulted in American independence but also established British North America as a separate entity, with many Loyalists migrating there after the war.
Pontiac's Rebellion and Proclamation of 1763Blake Harris
Pontiac's Rebellion was sparked by Chief Pontiac's response to the oppressive policies of British General Amherst towards Native American tribes.

The rebellion was ended in 1764 under new British leadership, though tensions remained high, as shown by the Paxton Boys attacks on Native Americans and the British Proclamation of 1763 restricting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
Colonial portraits served several purposes. They showed social status, as only the wealthy could afford them. Portraits allowed people to send messages about themselves and their wealth, and sometimes served as a form of wish fulfillment by depicting people as richer than they truly were. Several portraits from the period are analyzed, showing how clothing, backgrounds, and depicted activities were used to convey messages about the subject's wealth, social standing, power, and occupation. Elements like fabrics, furniture, and decorative details highlighted the subjects' affluence and role in society.

The Catholic Church was increasingly questioned though it still held power. Education expanded through new universities and figures like Copernicus and Galileo advanced scientific thought despite facing opposition. Trade between countries grew although transportation remained challenging. The printing press helped dissemin

It describes how the British passed laws like the Proclamation of 1763, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Intolerable Acts to raise revenue and control the colonies. In response, colonists protested through boycotts, riots, and acts of civil disobedience. Tensions escalated over time as the British passed more restrictive laws and the colonists increasingly resisted through organized resistance groups like the Sons of Liberty.
The document summarizes the increasing strain between Britain and its American colonies from the 1750s through the outbreak of the Revolutionary War in 1775. It discusses several key events that contributed to colonial discontent, including new taxes like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts enacted without colonial consent. The colonists protested through boycotts and acts of defiance. The Boston Tea Party in 1773 led Britain to pass the Intolerable Acts, further angering colonists and leading the First Continental Congress to endorse colonial grievances and prepare militarily. Armed conflict began with the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775.
The document provides an exam review sheet on the American Revolution and the Thirteen Colonies for an 8th grade social studies class. It includes facts about the American Revolution from 1776-1789, including the taxes imposed on the colonies by Britain to pay for war debts, the colonists' lack of representation in British government, and Britain's navigation acts which benefited only Britain in trade. It also mentions the colonists used boycotts as a tactic against British taxation. The review sheet poses multiple choice questions testing knowledge of the causes and events of the American Revolution.
The American Revolutionary War began as a result of tensions between the American colonies and Britain following the French and Indian War. Britain imposed taxes on the colonies to help pay war debts, angering the colonists who believed in "no taxation without representation." Protests and boycotts of British goods escalated, leading to armed conflict at Lexington and Concord in 1775. The Second Continental Congress formed the Continental Army under George Washington. Although the British captured New York, Washington later won key victories at Trenton and Saratoga. France entered the war as an ally of the newly formed United States after their declaration of independence in 1776. The British were eventually defeated at Yorktown in 1781, leading to recognition of American
