The document summarizes the political turmoil in the United States during the 1850s as the country grappled with the issue of slavery and states' rights. It outlines the breakdown of the two-party system as the Whig party collapsed and new parties like the Know-Nothings and Republicans emerged. Sectional divisions intensified following events like the Dred Scott decision and John Brown's raid, which deepened the rift between the North and South on the issue of slavery. By the late 1850s, the country was becoming increasingly polarized and headed towards civil war.

It is the fifth in a series of textbook/lecture substitutes designed for students in a college seminar on the Civil War and Reconstruction.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. Shifting Political Scene
Traditionally, American political parties extended across
sectional lines.
Democrats and Whigs came from the North, South, and
West.
Presidents had come from all areas of the country.
American politics will change to reflect regional tensions,
especially over the issue of slavery.
3. Whig Party Disintegrates
Compromise of 1850 caused a lot of political upheaval.
Millard Fillmore-last Whig President
Angered the South with his support of California being a free
state.
Northerners left the party in large numbers because of his
support of the Fugitive Slave Act and popular sovereignty.
Lost election of 1852 to Franklin Pierce…never again
mounted enough for a presidential campaign.
4. “Know-Nothings”
Heavy immigration caused Catholicism to overtake
Protestantism as the nation’s largest religious groups.
Native-born Protestants fueled the growth of an anti-
immigrant movement.
Called “Know-Nothings” because members responded “I
know nothing” when questioned about their organization.
1855- they had abandoned secrecy to form the American
Party.
Soon became divided over the issue of slavery in the west.
5. Republican Party is Born
Antislavery movement gave right to the new Republican
Party in 1854.
Opposition to slavery was center of philosophy.
Attracted Democrats, Whigs, Free-Soilers, and Know-
Nothings
Grew rapidly in the North
Political Parties During the 1850s
Democratic Party (1800-present)
Whig Party (1834-1852)
Know-Nothings/American Party (1843-1856)
Free-Soil Party (1847-1854)
Republicans (1854-Present)
6. Sectional Divisions Intensify
Election of 1856
Republicans nominate abolitionist John C. Fremont
“Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men, Fremont!”
Democrats nominate James Buchanan
Promised to stop “the agitation of the slavery issue”
Know-Nothings nominated Millard Fillmore
James Buchanan wins election with support of Southerners
Running mate John C. Breckinridge was from the South.
Republican party lost, but made a strong showing.
7. Dred Scott Decision
• Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857)
• Dred Scott, an African American slave, was taken north of the
Missouri Compromise line, where slavery was banned.
• Scott argued that since he had lived several years in a free
state and several years in a free territory, he should be free.
• Sued for freedom.
• Chief Justice Roger Taney’s decision:
• Slaves and their descendants were property, not citizens, and
therefore could not sue in court.
• Temporary residence in a free territory did not make Scott free.
• Declared Missouri Compromise unconstitutional because it was
illegal for Congress to deprive an owner of property without due
process of the law.
8. Dred Scott Impact
Southerners celebrated.
Northerners saw this as an alarm.
Would slavery be allowed everywhere now?
How can they block slavery now?
This decision deeply split an already divided country.
9. John Brown’s Raid
Lincoln and Stephen Douglas believed the slavery crisis had to
be resolved with laws.
John Brown thought violence was the best way to end slavery.
Harpers Ferry
Set out with 21 men to seize the federal arsenal in Harpers
Ferry, Virginia (modern day WV)
Wanted local slaves to join a revolution to destroy slavery
Effort failed---few Americans wanted to join a rebellion led by
this intense, fanatical white man.
Arsenal was surrounded by local residents, then marines came
in to arrest them.
Brown captured and sent to the gallows.
10. Brown’s Execution
Brown’s execution deepened the growing divide.
Stephen Douglas accused Republicans of instigating attack.
Southerners wanted an investigation.
Abe Lincoln and Republicans condemned Brown.
Congressmen came armed to the Capitol
Cotton prices took a steep drop
Southerners prepared for war.
Northerners thought abolitionist activism went too far.
Some saw Brown as a courageous martyr.
