The Hartford Convention was a secret meeting of Federalist delegates from New England states held in 1814-1815 to discuss grievances with Democratic-Republican policies during the War of 1812. The Federalists proposed constitutional amendments to limit presidential terms and the power of slave states, but the proposals were ignored as they came after American victories ended the war, damaging the Federalist party.

Monroe Doctrine

The Monroe Doctrine established that European powers should not interfere or colonize in the Americas. It was a response to concerns that European powers, through the Holy Alliance, wanted to reestablish control over former Spanish colonies that had gained independence. While not an actual law, the doctrine asserted that further European colonization in the Americas would be viewed as aggression towards the United States. It supported Washington's isolationist policies and established the US as the dominant power in the Americas.

Politics in the gilded age

mswhitehistory

The document discusses the rampant greed, graft, and corruption in American politics during the Gilded Age, including the rise of political machines that controlled cities and rewarded supporters with jobs and contracts, often through corrupt means like bribery and fraud. It also examines the tariff issue and differing views of Republican and Democratic presidents on tariff levels and protecting American businesses from foreign competition.

Populism

Bryan Toth

The Populist Party formed in the 1890s in response to economic hardship faced by farmers. They advocated for monetary reforms like bimetallism and opposed the gold standard. The Panic of 1893 exacerbated economic issues and led more people to support Populist ideas. William Jennings Bryan campaigned on the Populist platform in 1896 but lost the presidential election to William McKinley. Though short-lived, the Populist movement brought attention to farmers' issues and established reforms they advocated. The Wizard of Oz has been interpreted as an allegory for Populist ideas through its symbols representing issues like the gold standard.

Prohibition

alexcoyhis

The 18th Amendment banned alcohol production and sale in the US, taking effect in 1920. The Volstead Act defined intoxicating liquor as over 0.5% alcohol to enforce Prohibition. Supporters wanted to improve morality and health, but it instead increased crime and corruption. Organized crime grew through bootlegging and speakeasies. Prohibition failed economically, politically, socially and culturally. It was repealed in 1933 with the 21st Amendment due to widespread opposition and its ineffectiveness.

The american revolution

LAUSD

The American Revolution was an uneven fight between 1775-1783, with Britain having advantages in military strength and resources over the American colonists. Key turning points included the Continental Army's surprise victory at Trenton and the British surrender at Saratoga, which convinced France to ally with the Americans. With further support from France and other countries, Washington was able to trap Cornwallis' forces at Yorktown in 1781, marking the last major battle. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 officially recognized American independence.

The Populist Platform advocated for ideas like free silver and women's suffrage. William Jennings Bryan and Mary Elizabeth Lease were important Populist figures. The Wizard of Oz can be seen as a political allegory representing these tensions through its characters. The Panic of 1893 exacerbated the economic problems, but recovery began before Congress passed relief measures as demand increased in Europe.

The War Of 1812

Bryan Toth

The War of 1812 was caused by American grievances against Britain related to impressment and attacks on American ships. Known as the War Hawks, a group in Congress pushed for war. They were opposed by Native American leader Tecumseh, who sought an alliance with Britain. Though the U.S. military was unprepared, battles were fought in Canada and at sea. In 1814, British forces burned Washington D.C., but American forces later won a key victory at the Battle of New Orleans under General Andrew Jackson after the war had ended. The war was concluded in 1815 with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent.

Urbanization ch. 10.2

lesah2o

During the late 19th century, rapid urbanization in the United States was enabled by new technologies like steel-framed skyscrapers and elevators, as well as mass transit systems. As cities grew, distinct social classes emerged with the wealthy residing downtown and working classes in crowded tenement housing. Political machines run by bosses provided services to new urban immigrants and the working class in exchange for votes, though they were often corrupt.

Hw#3 colonial regions

Gonzo24

The document summarizes the social, political, and economic development of the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies based on their geography. It describes that the New England colonies focused on religious freedom and subsistence farming due to their rocky soil and short growing seasons. The Middle colonies served as the "breadbasket" through grain farming and had a diverse society with representative government. The Southern colonies specialized in cash crops like tobacco and cotton grown by slaves on large plantations due to their warm climate and fertile soil.

The progressive era

KevenCassidy1

The Progressive Era was a period of social activism and political reform in the United States that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s. Caused by cultural decline, muckrakers exposing issues, and economic changes from industrialization, progressives fought for reforms addressing issues like corruption, child labor, women's suffrage, and prohibition. Key leaders included Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Robert LaFollette. Roosevelt proposed a New Nationalism with trust busting and consumer protections. Wilson advocated a New Freedom through antitrust acts and the Federal Reserve. Women and African Americans also led important reform movements during this era of social change.

Unit 2 powerpoint (Immigration and Industrialization)

Crosswinds High School

Beginning in the late 1800s, most immigrants coming to the U.S. were from southern and eastern Europe. Immigrants lived in their own separate neighborhoods and kept many of their former traditions. Immigration led to a massive increase in the number of slums and tenement buildings in U.S. cities. Workers blamed immigrants for low wages or shortages of employment. A resentment of foreigners crept into America’s attitudes.

Apush keys to unit 6 gilded age politics

The document discusses Gilded Age politics in the United States from the 1870s to the 1890s. Both major political parties, the Republicans and Democrats, supported business interests and a limited role for government. There was little distinction between the parties on issues. Voter turnout remained high, but political campaigns focused more on entertainment than issues. Factions emerged within the parties, such as the Stalwarts who supported patronage, and the Half-Breeds who favored civil service reform. National issues of the time included debates around currency, tariffs, immigration policy, and regulating industry.

Westward expansion after the civil war

Blake Harris

The gilded age

kcloer

The Gilded Age brought both prosperity and problems to the United States. While industrialization and expansion created success, it also produced political corruption, poor social conditions, and unfair economic practices. Reforms addressed these issues through various new laws and organizations. The direct election of senators, civil service reforms, women's suffrage, housing codes, labor unions, and antitrust acts helped to solve political corruption, unsanitary cities, lack of representation, monopolies, and workers' rights issues plaguing the Gilded Age.

Early British Colonies U.S. History

reghistory

The early British colonies were established for economic reasons, with the first being Jamestown in 1607. Tobacco became a profitable crop in Virginia while indentured servitude provided labor. Self-governance emerged through entities like the Virginia House of Burgesses and Mayflower Compact. Puritans founded colonies like Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay to escape religious persecution in England. The 13 original colonies developed diverse economies while remaining tied to England through the Navigation Acts; however, they gained a growing spirit of self-determination.

APUSH Lecture Ch. 13

The document discusses the territorial expansion of the United States between 1800-1850, including the annexation of Texas and war with Mexico. It outlines how Texas gained independence from Mexico in 1836 and became its own republic before joining the US in 1845. Disputes over the border between Texas and Mexico led President Polk to send an envoy to negotiate, but when Mexico refused, war broke out between the US and Mexico from 1846-1847, resulting in the US acquiring vast new western territories of California and New Mexico.

The Second Great Awakening

The document discusses the Second Great Awakening religious revival that occurred in the late 1700s and early 1800s in America. It began in southern frontier camp meetings, where preachers would energetically yell and scream sermons to excite audiences. Two famous preachers were Peter Cartwright, known for his bellowing voice and knocking out rowdies, and Charles Finney, a trained lawyer who became a famous evangelist. The revival helped spread new Christian sects like Methodism and Baptism and promoted causes like feminism and abolition of slavery.

Dystopia

kelseyschadt

The document defines dystopia as an imagined place or state that is unpleasant or bad, typically one that is totalitarian or environmentally degraded. It then lists 8 common traits seen in dystopian literature: 1) Severe social restrictions imposed by society; 2) Total absence of social groups outside the state; 3) Isolation from the natural world; 4) An oppressive government that asserts power over citizens; 5) State control of the economy; 6) A protagonist that questions society through intuition or rebellion; 7) The existence of societal groups not under state control; 8) An emotional climax that is often unresolved, such as death or forced reeducation/conformity.

Dystopian novels

gordon77

The Shakers were a Christian religious group founded in the late 18th century by Mother Ann Lee who believed in celibacy. Shaker communities separated men and women and children from their families. They emphasized simplicity in lifestyle, dress, and furniture. Key beliefs included celibacy and avoiding romantic relationships to better imitate Jesus. The Shaker population has declined over time due to their practice of celibacy.

THE UTOPIAN SOCIETY OF ERANE

Kristina Guardino

The document describes the proposed utopian society of Erane. It outlines the governing body which would be elected and monitor internet activity. Citizens aged 20-65 can vote, and those over 65 would be moved outside the nation. Healthcare and education would be free for all. Crime would be punished by choice of prison or community service, and the nation would isolate itself to avoid war. The economy would be based on weekly distribution of necessities rather than money. Housing and pet ownership would depend on lifestyle suitability. Personal freedoms around marriage, gender, speech and having children would be protected and encouraged. People would work in their dream occupations without pay.

The giver intro

mhorn3

The document provides background information about author Lois Lowry and an introduction to her novel The Giver. Lowry was inspired to write the novel based on her relationship with her father who had lost his long-term memory. The Giver is set in a seemingly utopian society that has eliminated pain and conflict by getting rid of emotions, memories, and individuality. However, the society has really become dystopian. Themes that are explored in the novel include memory, pain versus pleasure, and what it means to be an individual.

Utopia dystopia

gordon77

The document discusses utopias and dystopias. Utopia comes from Greek words meaning "no place" and was coined by Thomas More to describe an ideal society without poverty or misery. Related concepts include religious ideals of Eden or Nirvana and the idea that advanced science could end suffering. A dystopia is the opposite - an imaginary fearful place where people live dehumanized lives under totalitarian control. Characteristics of dystopian societies in literature include a poor standard of living, a protagonist who questions the system, and serving as a warning about current societal trends taken to an extreme.

Information technology and its impact on society

Arijeet Dutta

1) Information technology refers to the use of computers and telecommunications to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data. 2) IT and society are rapidly co-evolving in surprising ways, with each changing the other. Increased digitization of social interactions allows new ways of gathering and synthesizing previously disconnected information. 3) IT impacts many aspects of daily life including education, healthcare, business, governance, and transportation. It has created new jobs but also contributed to job losses through outsourcing. While enhancing communication, it also enables privacy and security concerns if not managed carefully.

Marxism by Rameez Ahmed

Rameez Ahmed

Marxism is an economic and sociopolitical worldview created by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 19th century. It views society and history through the lens of class struggle and proposes that capitalist societies will inevitably give way to socialist societies, and in turn to communist ones. Neo-Marxism extends Marxism by incorporating elements from other traditions like critical theory and psychoanalysis. While Marxism focuses on economic determinism, Neo-Marxism considers broader social and intellectual influences. Criticisms of Marxism argue that it takes too materialistic an approach, cannot be falsified, ignores gender roles, and overstates the importance of economics.

Marxism

aquinaspolitics

Marxism is a 19th century theory of scientific socialism that predicted the overthrow of the capitalist class by the working proletariat due to inevitable economic contradictions within capitalism. It asserts that private ownership of production leads to the exploitation of workers as the bourgeoisie extracts surplus value from the proletariat. Marxism views progress as occurring through materialist dialectic, whereby class conflict and struggle advance society toward communism.

What Is Marxism?

Daniel Benoit

Marxism is an intellectual tradition based on the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that analyzes history, capitalism, and envisions a post-capitalist future. Marxism sees society as defined by class struggles over control of production. Marx argued capitalism would inevitably be replaced by socialism - where workers collectively control production - and eventually communism, with a stateless, classless, and moneyless society.

Marxism made easy

ddoggart

Marxism is a political and economic theory derived from Karl Marx's work analyzing capitalism. It views society as split between the bourgeoisie who own capital and the proletariat who must sell their labor. Marx argued that in capitalist societies, the economic base of wealth pursuit supports a superstructure of institutions like media that legitimize inequality by creating false consciousness among the proletariat. Later theorists like Gramsci developed the idea of hegemony, where the ruling class uses institutions like media to promote their ideologies as common sense. Marxists view media as serving capitalist interests by pacifying the masses and naturalizing the status quo.

Karl Marx

John Bradford

Marxism consists of three components: a political doctrine, a philosophy of history, and an analysis of the economy. Marx believed that the economic base of society, or how wealth is produced, determines the social and political superstructure. As productive technologies change, new class relations emerge between workers and owners. Capitalism relies on wage labor and private control of production, creating an inherent conflict of interests between workers and owners. This leads to capitalism's inevitable collapse due to falling profits, overproduction, and unemployment as workers cannot afford the goods they produce.

Utopian Society

lucyskertchly18

Utopian societies can exist when there is a strong sense of community and communal love, as well as a shared belief system and common goals. The document discusses how communities form based on being raised together and having guidance, and how this could extend to larger communities through a focus on communal rather than romantic love. It provides examples like Plato's Republic and the intentional community called "The Farm" as evidence that utopian societies are possible when these conditions are met.

Utopia

volkan

This document summarizes a presentation about Thomas More's Utopia. It discusses the meaning of Utopia, More's biography and work, the definition and types of utopias, and contrasts utopias with dystopias. More's Utopia from 1516 is presented as envisioning an ideal, harmonious society, in contrast to dystopian works that depict oppressive systems. Examples of both utopian and dystopian novels and films are also mentioned.

Marxist criticism presentation

FERDINAND BULUSAN

The poem "Manggagawa" by Jose Corazon de Jesus depicts the disparity between the wealthy bourgeoisie and the lower class proletariat in a capitalist society through vivid descriptions of the hard labor of workers and the luxuries enjoyed by the rich. It highlights the oppression and control the bourgeoisie have over wealth production as well as the government, reflecting Marx's theories. In the end, the poem calls loudly for equality and due recognition of the working class's contributions to society and the nation's progress.

Introduciton to international relation

Anjan Kumar Dahal

International relations refers to the interactions between countries, including states, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, and multinational corporations. As an academic discipline, international relations studies how these different actors cooperate and conflict across borders. The key factors that influence relations between countries include geographic, economic, demographic, and strategic considerations. Geography, the size of a country's population and economy, and strategic location all impact a country's foreign policy and interactions with other international actors.

Romantic Radicals and Agrarian Futurists: John Hargrave, the Kibbo Kift and B...

Alex Dunedin

Anne Fernie gave this talk for the Ragged University on 11th February 2016 in Manchester: This talk is in effect a ‘companion piece’ to the ‘Countercultural Imperative’ talk presented in April 2015. The focus is now upon movements and individuals in England during the period 1880-1935. We noted before how German ‘life reformers’ spread their influence directly to the counterculturalists in the USA during the 40s and later 1960s and how many of their ideas (e.g. vegetarianism, spa baths, outdoor pursuits) became mainstream even during their lifetimes. The English experience forms an interesting contrast in that the English as a whole proved less tractable than their German cousins in adopting ‘ruralist’ ideas that were viewed overall as ‘crankish’ and ‘faddist’. The close relationship that many of the English pioneers had with their German counterparts also inevitably led to suspicion in the years following WW1 and especially in the late 1920s and 30s casting a further pall of ‘Eco-Fascist’ ignominy over the cult of health, wellbeing and folk revival ‘Blood and Soil’ movements. We will review some early manifestations of the cult of the outdoor/alternative lifestylers such as the early carvanners, the fetishisation of Native North American culture, the Garden City movement then examine a selection of the more outstanding ‘cranks’ and ‘faddists’ such as John Hargrave, Rolf Gardiner, Ernest Westlake, Archie Belaney and Ernest Seton who are now largely and unfairly forgotten. The Woodcraft and ensuing Kibbo Kift groups will be discussed in more detail, the latter being an wonderful example of a very English response to the cult of the outdoor and how it too was drawn into the spirit of the age, transforming itself by 1935 into The Green Shirt Movement for Social Credit, the largest unformed paramilitary street-army of 1930s Britain. They hated the Fascist Black Shirts and ‘fat cat’ financial institutions espoused a ‘Third Way’ beyond Capitalism and Marxism – ideas very prescient to the contemporary social and political discourse. As with the German experience one concludes that whilst the hegemonies of the age are now ancient history, it is the outsiders and counter-culturist’s ideas that have endured and become mainstream. The fun is discovering where these apparently ‘age old’ ideas actually originated – often from the most surprising and unexpected sources.

The implementation of public education in the early-mid 1800s varied significantly based on race, gender and immigrant status: - Access to education was most limited for black Americans, both enslaved and free. Many Southern states prohibited the education of slaves while access was also limited for free black children. - Opportunities for girls' education were expanding but still limited compared to boys as many were pulled from school earlier to help at home. Literacy rates remained lower for women. - Immigrant children, especially those whose first language wasn't English, often faced barriers to education from nativist attitudes. Resources and support varied significantly between urban immigrant communities. - Reforms led by Horace Mann expanded access but schooling remained

Anasazi Ppaer Essay

Heidi Owens

The Anasazi people, also known as the Ancient Puebloans, lived in the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States from around the 12th century CE. They created intricate cliff dwellings and were skilled potters, crafting unique pottery. The Anasazi are believed to have begun adopting agriculture around 400 CE, growing crops like corn, squash and beans. This allowed their society to evolve and progress over many centuries, developing complex communities with religious rituals and trade networks. However, severe droughts and social instability led them to abandon their settlements in the region by the 13th century.

Policies like mass deportations target whole communities based on ethnicity rather than individual status.
