3.2 North American History
A super-quick tour of U.S. history, from Columbus to 9/11. Follows chapter 3-2 in the National Geographic World Cultures textbook.
Anglo-Irish Agreement 1985
The Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985 established an intergovernmental conference between the UK and Irish governments to cooperate on security, legal and political issues regarding Northern Ireland. It set up offices with staff from both Ireland and the UK and acknowledged that a united Ireland could only happen with the consent of Northern Ireland's majority. Unionists strongly opposed the agreement, seeing it as a betrayal and handing Northern Ireland to Ireland. Protests were large but faded by 1986, though paramilitary violence continued, killing almost 300 people by 1987. The agreement remained in place but talks in 1991 failed to make further progress.
Modern american history ppp
Nixon was elected president in 1968. His presidency was marred by the Watergate scandal, which eventually led to his resignation in 1974. In the late 1970s, the US faced crises like the Iran hostage crisis and rising gas prices due to OPEC embargoes. Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980 on a platform of conservative policies and cutting taxes. His presidency saw an economic recovery and military buildup against the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Soc studies #11 life in the english colonies
The document summarizes various aspects of life in the English colonies, including:
1) Colonial governments were run by governors appointed by the English monarch or proprietors, with elected assemblies or town meetings.
2) Trade between the colonies and England followed a triangular pattern and was regulated by navigation acts, angering colonists.
3) Conflicts between the French and British for control of North America led to the French and Indian War, ending French power in North America.
A Brief History Of USA
The document provides a brief history of the early colonial settlements in North America from the 16th through 18th centuries. It discusses the first Spanish and English colonies including the founding of St. Augustine in 1565, Jamestown in 1607, and the Plymouth colony in 1620. It also summarizes the establishment of other colonies including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia. Tensions grew between the colonies and Britain as the colonies expanded throughout the 18th century.
Country presentation - United States
The document provides an overview of the United States, including its history, government, geography, climate, religion, and other facts. It notes that most early settlers in the 1600s were English and that the 13 original colonies broke away from Britain in 1776. The US has three branches of government - executive, legislative, and judicial - and is located in North America between Canada and Mexico, with a population of over 318 million people.
Jamestown and Plymouth Colony
- Joint-stock companies allowed multiple investors to pool resources to finance colonial ventures, with profits and losses shared among investors and the monarch. The London and Plymouth Companies were formed through this system to establish colonies in North America.
- The first permanent English settlement, Jamestown, was founded in 1607 by the London Company but experienced a very difficult early period, with many settlers dying during the first winter due to lack of food and shelter. The cultivation of tobacco later provided economic success.
- The Puritans sought to purify the Church of England of Catholic influences and established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629, bringing religious freedom but also strict religious laws and community oversight of individual behavior.

The Troubles In Northern Ireland 2
The document provides a historical overview of Ireland and Northern Ireland covering several key events:
- Ireland was colonized by England in the 12th century and fully controlled by the 1500s. Protestants settled in Northern Ireland in the 1600s.
- In the early 20th century, Ireland fought for independence through the Easter Rising and a guerilla war against Britain, resulting in the partition of Ireland in 1922.
- Sectarian tensions grew between Protestant and Catholic communities in Northern Ireland, fueling ongoing conflict known as The Troubles from the 1960s-1990s over independence, civil rights, and national identity.
The french and indian war
The document summarizes key events of the French and Indian War, including disputes over land between the French and British that sparked the war, early battles like those at Fort Necessity and those led by General Braddock where George Washington distinguished himself, and the eventual British victory with the Treaty of Paris in 1763 that ceded French territory east of the Mississippi to Britain.

It also provides background information on the author and includes embedded links and a concept map related to symbols of Michigan.
Northern Ireland
The document summarizes the history and politics of Northern Ireland from 1920 to 2000. It describes how Northern Ireland was established with a Protestant majority that dominated the Catholic minority politically and economically. This led to discrimination against Catholics and the rise of the IRA and sectarian conflict. Attempts were made to reform and create power-sharing agreements, but violence continued until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 brought most parties together to find a peaceful path forward.
The american revolution
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.
Cuban revolution
The Cuban Revolution from 1953 to 1959 overthrew the US-backed Batista regime and established a communist government led by Fidel Castro. Castro led a guerrilla uprising against Batista from the Sierra Maestra mountains. By 1958, Batista had lost support and fled Cuba on New Year's Day 1959. Castro then took control of the new Cuban government and began nationalizing foreign-owned businesses, straining relations with the US. This led to a US trade embargo and Cuba aligning with the Soviet Union, escalating tensions during the Cold War.
British culture
Elizabeth II has been Queen of the United Kingdom since 1952 and is married to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The UK has a constitutional monarchy government. Some of the most famous British artists include William Shakespeare, a renowned playwright and poet, and many highly skilled British actors and actresses. Popular British landmarks consist of the Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, and Hyde Park.
New France 1663-1763
During the Golden Age of New France from 1663-1763:
- King Louis XIV took tighter control over New France and divided it into the colonies of Acadia and St. Lawrence, appointing leaders like governors general, bishops, and intendants to rule over the growing population.
- Under this new hierarchy, settlements expanded along the St. Lawrence River including Quebec City, Montreal, and Trois-Rivieres, and the population grew to over 10,000 by the 1680s through incentives like the King's Daughters program.
- The seigneurial system of land distribution was established, dividing land between seigneurs and habitant farmers and helping to shape French Canadian society in Quebec
Inglaterra
Inglaterra es una de las cuatro naciones que componen el Reino Unido, con más de 51 millones de habitantes. Ubicada en el sur y centro de Gran Bretaña, limita al norte con Escocia, al oeste con Gales, y al este y sur con el Mar del Norte y el Canal de la Mancha. La capital y ciudad más grande es Londres, y su idioma oficial es el inglés.
War of 1812
The War of 1812 was caused by several factors, including British and French seizure of American cargo and ships, the British practice of impressment which led to the Chesapeake Incident, and territorial disputes over lands in North America. The war resulted in unsuccessful American invasions of Canada but ended with the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. While the borders changed little, the war established frontier myths for America and began Andrew Jackson's rise to the presidency following his victory at the Battle of New Orleans.
Puerto Rico: History & Legal System
Puerto Rico has a long history as both a Spanish colony and unincorporated U.S. territory. It was inhabited by Taíno people prior to Spanish colonization in the 15th century. Puerto Rico was ceded to the U.S. after the Spanish-American War in 1898 and began a period of military rule. Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917 but agitated for further autonomy and independence. A movement toward self-government increased after World War II, culminating in Puerto Rico's adoption of a local constitution in 1952 within the framework of U.S. sovereignty.
Tudor dynasty
The Tudor dynasty ruled England from 1485 to 1603 and was comprised of five monarchs: Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. The dynasty originated in the 13th century and solidified its hold on the throne through Henry VII's victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, ending the Wars of the Roses. The Tudor rulers established England as a Protestant nation under Henry VIII, who broke with the Catholic Church and established the Church of England, and faced religious and political challenges during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I.
Migration and Empire - irish immigration to scotland
The Irish faced many hardships in 1800s Ireland that forced them to emigrate to Scotland. Overpopulation and reliance on the potato crop led to the Great Famine in the 1840s, killing over 1 million Irish. Scotland offered the Irish better wages and jobs to support its growing industries. The largest numbers of Irish settled in Glasgow and the west coast. While life was better, the Irish faced poor working and living conditions, with many living in overcrowded slums where disease was common. The Irish were split between Catholic and Protestant groups and faced opposition from Scots worried about jobs and the Irish cultural and religious differences.
The American revolutionary war (1775 1783)
The American Revolutionary War began in 1775 due to growing tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain over taxation and lack of representation. Key events that fueled the growing conflict included the Intolerable Acts passed in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. The Declaration of Independence was ratified in 1776 declaring the colonies independent states. While the British army was powerful, the colonists used guerrilla tactics and received aid from France and Spain to eventually force Britain's surrender at Yorktown in 1781, recognizing American independence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
WWII causes final.ppt
The document provides an overview of World War II, including key facts and figures. It notes that the war cost the US $330 billion, 10 times the cost of WWI, and led to 50 million deaths total compared to 15 million in WWI. The underlying causes that led to WWII included the harsh Treaty of Versailles, the worldwide depression, the rise of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, and the isolationist policies of major powers that led them to pursue appeasement of dictators. Hitler initially demanded the return of German-speaking lands, invading Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia, before launching lightning fast invasions across Europe using new "Blitzkrieg" tactics. The US provided aid to allies through
The stuarts
James I became the first monarch of both England and Scotland after Queen Elizabeth died without an heir. He believed in the divine right of kings, which caused conflict with Parliament. During his reign, Puritans grew more popular but were suppressed, and Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up Parliament in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Charles I faced economic and religious problems during his reign, leading to the English Civil War between Royalists and Parliamentarians. Oliver Cromwell emerged victorious, establishing the Commonwealth and becoming Lord Protector before his death led to the restoration of the monarchy.
Gold Rush Powerpoint
The document summarizes the origins and spread of the California Gold Rush in the late 1840s. It discusses how Lewis and Clark's expedition in 1804-1806 helped promote westward expansion. In 1848, gold was discovered in California, sparking the Gold Rush as thousands traveled there seeking fortune. There were three main routes for prospectors to take - overland across the plains, by ship around South America, or a mixed water and land route through Panama. Each route had advantages and challenges to consider.
Domesday book
The Domesday Book was a survey of land ownership completed in 1086 on the orders of William the Conqueror to assess taxes from the people of England. It contained detailed records of land ownership and resources for over 13,000 settlements. As the first public record of its kind, anything written in the Domesday Book was undisputed law, allowing William to consolidate his control over post-invasion England.
America
The document summarizes major events and developments in American history from 1492 to 1968. It discusses early European exploration and settlement by Spain, France and England. It then covers the formation of the 13 colonies, the American Revolution, establishment of the US, westward expansion, the Civil War and abolition of slavery. It also discusses industrialization, immigration, the Great Depression, World Wars, and the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X to combat racial discrimination and segregation.

Designing Teams for Emerging Challenges
The document discusses designing teams and processes to adapt to changing needs. It recommends structuring teams so members can work within their competencies and across projects fluidly with clear roles and expectations. The design process should support the team and their work, and be flexible enough to change with team, organization, and project needs. An effective team culture builds an environment where members feel free to be themselves, voice opinions, and feel supported.
UX, ethnography and possibilities: for Libraries, Museums and Archives
1) The document discusses how the University of York Library has used various user experience (UX) techniques like ethnographic observation and interviews to better understand user needs and behaviors.
2) Some changes implemented based on UX findings include installing hot water taps, changing hours, and adding blankets - aimed at improving the small details of user experience.
3) The presentation encourages other libraries, archives and museums to try incorporating UX techniques like behavioral mapping and cognitive interviews to inform design changes that enhance services for users.

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 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 American ally in 1778 following these successes. The British surrendered at Yorktown in 1781, leading to American independence and the 1783 Treaty of Paris.

Estados Unidos

It describes how the U.S. grew through purchases of land from France, Spain, and Russia as well as annexation of Texas and territories acquired from Mexico after the Mexican-American War.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
