Hw#31 immigration
The document discusses three waves of immigration to the United States: Old immigrants from northern Europe between 1600-1850 who settled on farms in the Midwest; New immigrants from southern and eastern Europe between 1860-1920 who moved to cities in the Northeast and worked in factories and mines; and modern immigrants since 1965 from Latin America and Asia. It notes the reasons for immigration included economic opportunities, religious/political persecution, and the promise of freedoms in the US. New immigrants initially arrived at Ellis Island or Angel Island and faced inspections before entering the country. Their expectations of America contrasted with the difficult living conditions they encountered in urban tenements and sweatshops. The massive immigration during this period resulted in a population shift from rural to urban
Three women in the 60's
Coretta Scott King was born in the South during the Great Depression to parents who encouraged her education despite facing segregation. She met Martin Luther King Jr. while studying music and supported him physically in protests and financially through fundraising. After MLK's assassination, Coretta carried on his spirit by creating The King Center to continue promoting nonviolence and social change.
Why did women get the vote
Women gained the right to vote in the UK in 1928 due to changing social attitudes towards women's roles and abilities, pressure from suffrage groups using both peaceful and violent tactics, women's contributions during World War 1, and other countries granting women's suffrage. Key factors included women entering the workforce in increasing numbers, the suspension of militant suffragette campaigns during the war to support the war effort, political motivations within the Liberal party to undermine the rising Labour party, and other British dominions granting women the vote earlier. However, the path to women's suffrage was gradual and not all women received equal voting rights in 1918.

Rising tide of Immigration 2013
The document provides background information on mass immigration to the United States between 1880-1924. It describes the push and pull factors that drove immigrants from Europe and Asia to leave their homelands for America, including lack of work and the belief that America was a "magic land." Upon arrival, immigrants faced difficult journeys across the Atlantic Ocean in cramped compartments, medical inspections at Ellis Island, and often lived in crowded tenement housing in ethnic enclaves within major cities. The document also discusses discriminatory laws and treatment faced by Chinese immigrants, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
Chinese Exclusion Act
The document summarizes key details about Chinese immigration and exclusion in America between the 1800s-present. It begins by outlining 5 essential questions about the timeline of Chinese immigration, what led to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, how Chinese immigrants were treated in the US, and if exclusion continues today. The document then provides short answers to each question, noting that Chinese immigrants first arrived in the 1800s for work, but faced discrimination and the 1882 Exclusion Act banning most Chinese immigration due to racism. It describes the poor treatment of Chinese in America and lingering effects of exclusion policies, though discrimination has decreased from its peak in the late 1800s.
Women’S Suffrage Kevin K., Kelee W.
1) In the late 19th century, women's suffrage activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Matilda Joslyn Gage fought for women's right to vote by organizing conventions and associations.
2) Susan B. Anthony was arrested in 1872 for attempting to vote and refusing to pay the fine to protest women's lack of voting rights.
3) The 19th amendment, granting women the right to vote, was ratified in 1920 after decades of activism and pressure from suffrage leaders like Stanton and Anthony.
immigration and urbanization
The document discusses the mass immigration to U.S. cities in the late 19th century following the Civil War. Millions of European and Asian immigrants arrived seeking opportunity but faced challenges assimilating. They lived in overcrowded tenement neighborhoods and faced discrimination, while their cheap labor fueled industrialization and urbanization. Political machines exploited new immigrants by providing services in exchange for votes.
Chinese exc act
This document provides an overview of U.S. immigration policy from 1790 to the present. It discusses how stereotypes and fears influenced the development of exclusionary policies over time, from the Alien and Sedition Acts to the National Origins System and Bracero Program. While immigration was initially encouraged, the gold rush and increased immigration from Ireland and China led to nativist opposition. The document traces the implementation of the quota system in the 1920s, shifts in immigration demographics after 1965, and current debates around illegal immigration and proposed reforms.
The Suffragists
The Suffragists were a pressure group formed in 1897 called the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) led by Millicent Fawcett. They used peaceful protest methods like petitions, newspaper publications, and large processions to campaign for women's right to vote. Their membership grew from 13,000 in 1909 to over 100,000 by 1913 as they worked to gain support from politicians and political parties. While they had some successes in raising awareness, their peaceful tactics proved insufficient to change the law, and women did not gain the right to vote until after World War I.

Chinese exclusion Act
- Early Chinese immigration to the US in the 1800s was spurred by instability in China and the California Gold Rush, with over 20,000 Chinese immigrants arriving by 1852 to work in the gold fields.
- However, Chinese miners faced resentment and violence from white miners who saw them as competition. Laws were passed targeting Chinese immigrants and many left the gold fields for San Francisco's Chinatown.
- In the 1860s, Chinese laborers were recruited to build the Transcontinental Railroad, facing dangerous work and racism, though they were integral to its completion in 1869. Anti-Chinese violence increased in the 1870s as the economy declined.
The Divisive Politics of Slavery
The document summarizes the key events leading up to the Compromise of 1850. It describes the industrial growth and increasing immigration in the North and the rural plantation economy in the South. As the country expanded westward after the Mexican-American War, tensions rose over whether slavery should be allowed in the new territories. The Compromise of 1850 was proposed by Henry Clay and included provisions to admit California as a free state, enact a stronger Fugitive Slave Act, and determine the status of slavery in Utah and New Mexico through popular sovereignty. Key figures like Clay, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, and Stephen A. Douglas all played roles in the tense debates over slavery and attempts to broker a compromise.

The Irish fled the Potato Famine from 1845-1849, while Germans fled failed rebellions in 1848 seeking political freedom. These immigrants settled mainly in the North and West, facing discrimination from nativists. They also faced opposition from Protestants over their Catholic faith and from labor unions over accepting lower wages. Religious differences further divided northern and southern churches and societies over slavery and reforms.
Chinese exclusion act 2
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first law implemented in the United States that restricted immigration based on race. It prohibited all Chinese laborers from entering the country for ten years under the premise of responding to anti-Chinese sentiment.

LOAPUSH 16
This document provides an overview of slavery in the antebellum United States. It discusses the rise of cotton and slavery in the South, the development of the plantation system, and the three regions of the South (border, middle, lower) that had varying degrees of commitment to slavery. It also examines the lives of slaves, slave revolts, the growth of the abolitionist movement in the North and South, and the backlash against abolitionism in the South through things like the gag rule. By the 1850s, the issue of slavery was increasingly polarizing the country along sectional lines.
Lecture 11 part i- american expansion west - mexican territories & west
The document summarizes American expansion and settlement of the western territories between 1840-1869. It discusses how Manifest Destiny and the war with Mexico led to the annexation of Texas and acquisition of the western half of Mexico, including California. The gold rush then spurred massive migration to California, including Chinese immigrants. Western settlement posed opportunities but also limitations based on race, as Native Americans, African Americans, Chinese, and women faced restrictions. The Mormons also migrated west seeking religious freedom and established Salt Lake City.

THE IMPENDING CRISIS

· EXPANSION AND WAR
· THE SECTIONAL DEBATE
· THE CRISES OF THE 1850s
LOOKING AHEAD
1. How did the annexation of western territories intensify the conflict over slavery and lead to deeper divisions between the North and the South?
2. What compromises attempted to resolve the conflicts over the expansion of slavery into new territories? To what degree were these compromises successful? Why did they eventually fail to resolve the differences between the North and the South?
3. What were the major arguments for and against slavery and its expansion into new territories?
UNTIL THE 1840s, POLITICAL TENSIONS between the North and the South remained relatively contained and, other than African American writers and clerics, few predicted that sectional tensions could ever lead the country into a civil war.
But midcentury brought a rash of explosive issues that politicians struggled—and ultimately failed—to resolve peacefully. In the North the abolitionist movement picked up steam and inspired legions of supporters, the most aggressive of whom sought to fight slavery with the sword as well as the pen. The South birthed a generation of militant pro-slavery spokesmen who brooked no compromise over a state’s right to embrace slavery and the society based on it. From the West emerged raging controversies over the political fate of the territories and whether they would enter the Union as either slave or free states. Partisans recruited sympathizers from across the nation and even took up arms to win their point.LOOKING WESTWARD
More than a million square miles of new territory came under the control of the United States during the 1840s. By the end of the decade, the nation possessed all the territory of the present-day United States except Alaska, Hawaii, and a few relatively small areas acquired later through border adjustments. Many factors accounted for this great new wave of expansion, but one of the most important was an ideology known as Manifest Destiny.
Manifest Destiny
Manifest Destiny reflected both the growing pride that characterized American nationalism in the mid-nineteenth century and the idealistic vision of social perfection that fueled so much of the reform energy of the time. It rested on the idea that America was destined—by God and by history—to expand its boundaries over a vast area.
By the 1840s, publicized by the rise of inexpensive newspapers dubbed “penny press,” the idea of Manifest Destiny had spread throughout the nation. Some advocates of Manifest Destiny envisioned a vast new “empire of liberty” that would include Canada, Mexico, Caribbean and Pacific islands, and ultimately (for the most ardent believers) much of the rest of the world. Countering such bombast were politicians such as Henry Clay and others, who warned that territorial expansion would reopen the painful controversy over slavery. Their voices, however, could not compete with the enthusiasm over expansion in the 18 ...
Chapter 5 power point
I do not have a strong opinion on these complex historical issues. Reasonable people can disagree on how to balance the rights and interests of indigenous peoples, settlers, and governments during the period of westward expansion in the United States.
Events that led_to_the_american_civil_war
The document summarizes key events that led to the American Civil War:
1. Economic and political tensions grew between the industrial North and agricultural South. The North opposed slavery's expansion while the South defended it.
2. The Mexican-American War and subsequent territorial acquisitions exacerbated tensions over the balance of slave and free states.
3. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, and Dred Scott decision further polarized the nation on the issue of slavery in the territories.
4. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president as the first Republican, prompting Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.
Liberty daughters
The Daughters of Liberty were a group of women in the American colonies who supported independence from Britain during the Revolutionary War in various ways. They protested unfair taxes, boycotted British goods, substituted homemade items, and aided the war effort by sewing uniforms and melting metals for bullets. Notable Daughters of Liberty included Mercy Otis Warren, a historian and playwright who documented the Revolution, and Abigail Adams, who advocated for women's rights and education. Their efforts helped advance women's roles and fight for the patriot cause.
