The document discusses the causes of the Spanish-American War in 1898 that led the United States to declare war on Spain. It identifies four main factors: 1) The Cuban War of Independence from 1895 where Cubans rebelled against brutal Spanish rule seeking independence; 2) The explosion of the USS Maine in Havana harbor in 1898 that killed 260 Americans and was blamed on Spain; 3) A letter from the Spanish Ambassador insulting President McKinley that angered Americans; 4) Yellow journalism from newspapers like Hearst that exaggerated pro-war stories and appealed to American patriotism. Together these factors increased tensions and pushed President McKinley to ask Congress to declare war on Spain in April 1898.

2.harlem renaissance
The document discusses the Harlem Renaissance, which was a period in the 1920s when many African American artists, writers, and musicians lived and worked in Harlem, New York. This led to a cultural flowering and celebration of African American heritage. The Harlem Renaissance had several impacts, including increasing the number of educated African Americans, obtaining better pay and working conditions for African Americans than in the rural South, and promoting movements that advocated for African American interests. The cultural works produced during this time also highlighted the experiences of systemic racism like lynchings.

- It opened new jobs and opportunities for women and minorities as men went off to war and industries ramped up production, though discrimination still limited opportunities.
- The war effort changed lives as people moved around the country for jobs, taxes increased, wages and prices were controlled, and consumer goods were rationed to support the war.
- However, the push for civil rights continued, with Executive Order 8802 prohibiting discrimination in defense hiring amid calls for equal treatment of African Americans. Internment of Japanese Americans also showed lingering discrimination.

Each group member will create one question, either relying only on the text, integrating their own thoughts, or requiring judgment beyond the text. The groups will then exchange questions with another group, and each member will answer one of the received questions. Upon receiving the answered questions back, each member will leave a comment evaluating the response to their question. The activity aims to develop critical thinking and deeper understanding of historical texts.
Indian Removal
Andrew Jackson's policies regarding Native American removal inhibited the cause of democracy in three key ways:
1) Jackson ignored Supreme Court rulings that prevented states like Georgia from removing Native Americans from their tribal lands, undermining the system of checks and balances.
2) The Indian Removal Act authorized the president to negotiate removal treaties with Native Americans through misleading and coercive means, rather than obtaining genuine consent.
3) Jackson's forced removal of the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears, which resulted in thousands of deaths, disregarded Native American sovereignty and rights in favor of white settlers and the states' interests over the rule of law.
Sectionalism
Westward expansion increased sectionalism in the United States by deepening divisions between the North, South, and West. The North favored industry, abolition, and strong federal government. The South relied on agriculture and slavery and supported states' rights. The West wanted infrastructure and federal aid for development. Henry Clay believed sectionalism harmed the country by prioritizing loyalty to regions over the Union as a whole.
Lincoln's actions ppt
Lincoln tried to preserve the Union during the Civil War in several ways:
1) In his first inaugural address, Lincoln pledged there would be no war unless the South started it, and his goal was to preserve the Union without bloodshed if possible.
2) He later suspended habeas corpus to arrest Confederate sympathizers.
3) He issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which freed all slaves in rebelling Confederate states and changed the purpose of the war to one of ending slavery as well.
4) Lincoln also called for a military draft in 1863 to bolster the Union army.

Key people from the Nazi Party, military, and German industries were charged with crimes against peace and crimes against humanity. The trials established an international court for dealing with genocide and other crimes against humanity.
Jamestown&Plymouth
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.
African americans civil rights movement

French and indian war
The document provides background information on the French and Indian War (1754-1763), including:
- The key parties in the war were the French, British, and various Native American groups, who fought over land disputes in the Ohio River Valley.
- As a result of their victory, the British gained control of French territory in Canada and much of the North American mainland east of the Mississippi River under the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
- However, the war increased British debt and tensions with Native American tribes. It also united the American colonies in war but created resentment towards subsequent British policies like the Proclamation Line of 1763 restricting westward colonial expansion.
Hw#7 rev
The American Revolutionary War was won through a combination of strategic military victories by American forces and support from European allies like France. Key battles like Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown weakened the British military position. Meanwhile, the Americans utilized local knowledge and guerilla tactics to offset the strengths of the British army. The entry of France into the war after the American victory at Saratoga turned the tide in favor of the colonists and ultimately led to British recognition of American independence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
Washington-DuBois-Garvey
This document discusses different approaches taken by Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Marcus Garvey to address problems faced by African Americans after the Reconstruction era. Washington advocated for vocational training and cooperation between blacks and whites to achieve economic prosperity and social equality. Du Bois argued for consistent advocacy of civil and social rights to ensure equal opportunities and safety. Garvey promoted the creation of black nations in Africa as the only solution due to overcrowding in America threatening African Americans. Students are asked to determine which approach they feel would be most effective.
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
Reconstruction
This document discusses the Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). The key details are:
- In 1890, Louisiana passed a law requiring "equal but separate accommodations" for black and white races on railway trains.
- In 1892, Homer Plessy, who was of mixed race, refused to move to the segregated car for black passengers and was arrested.
- The case went to the Supreme Court to determine if the law violated the 13th and 14th Amendments.
- The Court ruled against Plessy, establishing the "separate but equal" doctrine that allowed racial segregation if facilities were equal, which effectively upheld Jim Crow laws.
Hw#24 sectionalism
Westward expansion increased sectionalism in the United States by deepening economic and social differences between regions. As new lands opened in the West, the North focused on industry and opposed slavery's expansion, while the South wanted to protect its agricultural economy based on plantation slavery. Henry Clay believed sectionalism was harmful to the country by dividing loyalty to regions rather than the nation as a whole.

Hw#33 labor unions
Labor unions used collective bargaining and strikes to attempt to improve working conditions for workers. Through collective bargaining, unions would negotiate with employers to reach agreements on issues like wages, hours, and safety conditions. If negotiations failed, unions would call strikes as a tactic to put pressure on employers. However, early strikes were often met with violence from employers, police, and use of federal troops. Over time, unions continued to organize and use strikes to gain bargaining power and protections, such as the Wagner Act which legally protected the right to unionize.
Hw#31
Industrialization and urbanization in the United States had some negative impacts. Industrialization led to poor working conditions in factories and pollution from manufacturing. Urbanization resulted in overcrowded cities with inadequate housing, infrastructure, and public services for the large populations that migrated to urban areas for work in the late 19th century.
Hw#28
The document discusses whether late 19th century American industrialists should be remembered as "robber barons" or "captains of industry". It provides context on trusts, monopolies, and laissez-faire economic policies that allowed businesses like Carnegie Steel, Standard Oil, and J.P. Morgan's companies to consolidate power with little government interference. While some viewed the industrialists' tactics critically and called them robber barons, others maintained they acted as captains of industry by increasing productivity and jobs.
Hw#4 principles of the constitution
The document outlines the six key principles of the US Constitution:
1. Separation of powers which divides government into three branches
2. Checks and balances where each branch limits the power of the others through veto powers and overrides
3. Popular sovereignty whereby the government derives its power from the people
4. Republicanism ensuring government is run by elected representatives of the people
5. Federalism dividing power between national and state governments
6. Supremacy of national laws and judicial review giving the national government authority over states and the Supreme Court power to invalidate laws.

3. Popular sovereignty which establishes that the government's authority comes from the people.
Hw#4 mercantilism
Mercantilism was an economic system where countries aimed to export more than they imported in order to accumulate wealth. Under this system, colonies provided raw materials to their "mother country" since importing goods was discouraged. Great Britain passed laws like the Navigation Acts to enforce mercantilism and benefit themselves. However, they needed more labor from colonies to produce goods like wood and cotton. This led to the growth of the transatlantic slave trade, as slaves provided a source of free labor that could meet the increasing demands of mercantilism.
Lincoln's actions ppt
Lincoln tried to preserve the Union during the Civil War in several ways:
1) In his first inaugural address, he pledged there would be no war unless the South started it and that his goal was to preserve the Union and stop the spread of slavery, not necessarily end it.
2) He suspended habeas corpus in 1861 to arrest Confederate sympathizers and prevent rebellion.
3) He issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which freed all slaves in rebelling Confederate states and changed the purpose of the war to one of freeing slaves in addition to preserving the Union.
4) He called for a military draft in 1863 to bolster the Union army.
Slavery compromises
The document summarizes several compromises that were attempted in the United States in the 1800s to address the issue of expanding slavery into new western territories:
- The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to enter the union as a slave state but banned slavery in territories above the 36°30' parallel, except Missouri.
- The Compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state, organized Utah and New Mexico with popular sovereignty, and strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act.
- The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 also organized the territories of Kansas and Nebraska with popular sovereignty, fueling tensions and violence known as "Bleeding Kansas" over the slavery issue.
Sectionalism
The document discusses sectionalism in the United States brought about by the westward expansion and the issue of whether new territories should enter the union as slave or free states. It provides discussion questions and tasks for students, including having them read positions from Calhoun and Webster on the issue and respond with a mock tweet agreeing with one of them.

Homestead & pacific railway acts copy
The United States encouraged settlement of the West through two key laws:
1. The Homestead Act of 1862 gave land to settlers who farmed the land for 5 years, aiming to encourage migration. However, many struggled to meet requirements or afford keeping the lands.
2. The Pacific Railway Act provided land grants and funding to railroad companies to build a transcontinental railroad, linking the East and West coasts and facilitating migration. This increased migration to the Western interior but also brought challenges.
Hw#24 the california gold rush of 1849
The California Gold Rush began in 1848 when gold was discovered by James Marshall at Sutter's Mill near Sacramento. Word of the discovery quickly spread, with some 80,000 prospectors, called "forty-niners", traveling to California in 1849 hoping to strike it rich. The influx of miners and settlers transformed California, leading to its statehood in 1850. While some miners succeeded in finding gold, others faced harsh conditions and discrimination, especially Chinese immigrants. The Gold Rush spurred major economic and population growth in California and the western United States.
Hw#23 the california gold rush of 1849
The California Gold Rush began in 1848 when gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill by James Marshall. News of the discovery spread quickly, attracting around 80,000 prospectors, known as "forty-niners", to California in 1849 hoping to strike it rich. The Gold Rush transformed California from a sparsely-populated territory into a major economic force, leading to its statehood in 1850. While some prospectors succeeded in finding gold, most failed and boom towns came and went as mining sites were depleted.
Manifest destiny ppt
1) Americans justified westward expansion through the belief in "Manifest Destiny", the idea that it was God's plan for America to control all of North America.
2) They expanded westward through various means such as treaties, purchases of territory like the Louisiana Purchase, and wars with Mexico which resulted in additional land acquisitions.
3) Between 1820 and 1850, 4 million Americans moved west, helping to populate and claim more of the western lands, furthering the cause of Manifest Destiny.
Mexican american war-causes (1)
The United States annexed Texas in 1845, which Mexico still claimed as its territory. This caused a border dispute between the Rio Grande and Nueces Rivers. Tensions escalated after U.S. troops occupied the Rio Grande, which Mexico saw as an invasion. In 1846, shots were fired between U.S. and Mexican soldiers, prompting President Polk to ask Congress to declare war on Mexico.
Indian removal
President Andrew Jackson's signing of the Indian Removal Act and its impact on Native Americans is examined. Students are asked to choose whether they want to hear from President Jackson defending the Act or from Native Americans explaining how it affected them. A political cartoon portrays Jackson and the treatment of indigenous people, and students are prompted to discuss whether the Cherokees were uncivilized and if Jackson should remain on the $20 bill.
Andrew jackson
Andrew Jackson advanced the cause of democracy in some ways but may have also inhibited it in others. He was described as a "common man" president who helped expand suffrage, but he also opposed the National Bank and centralized federal power in the presidency. Overall, the document discusses whether Jackson's presidency advanced or inhibited democracy in the United States.
Hw#21 ppt
The Indian Removal Act of 1830 authorized the president to negotiate treaties to move Native American tribes west of the Mississippi River. This led to the forced removal of the Cherokee nation from their lands in Georgia along the Trail of Tears, where over 4,000 Cherokee died as they were forced to march over 800 miles to Oklahoma at gunpoint. The name "Trail of Tears" comes from the Cherokee translation of the immense suffering they endured during the removal.
Voting rights
The document discusses how voting rights in the United States have changed over time. It notes that while the Constitution did not originally specify who had the right to vote, leaving it up to states, voting rights have been a source of controversy as groups like women, minorities, the poor, and youth have had to fight to gain this basic right. It describes an activity where students are assigned groups to research significant events that both limited and increased voting rights for that group over time.
Hw#17 voting rights
Voting rights in the US have expanded over time. Originally only white male landowners could vote. African Americans gained the right to vote with the 15th Amendment in 1870, but still faced barriers like literacy tests and poll taxes. The 24th Amendment banned poll taxes in 1964. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 reinforced protections. Women gained the right to vote in 1920 via the 19th Amendment. American Indians became citizens in 1924. The District of Columbia gained voting rights in 1961 under the 23rd Amendment. The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18 in 1971.
