The American Civil War was fought between the northern Union states and the southern Confederate states from 1861 to 1865. The Confederate states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America, led by President Jefferson Davis. Their new constitution legalized slavery. The Union's strategy under the Anaconda Plan was to blockade southern ports and gain control of the Mississippi River to split the Confederacy in half. Major battles like Bull Run, Shiloh, and Antietam resulted in heavy casualties on both sides as new deadly weapons were introduced. Women also played important roles as nurses and some disguised themselves as men to fight.

Reconstruction and the black experience
During Reconstruction, newly freed African Americans sought to reunite families separated by slavery and build new lives through education, employment, and participation in politics. Freedmen's schools educated over 150,000 students by 1869, though many southern whites opposed these schools. While some hoped the government would provide land, most freed people had to work through sharecropping systems or labor contracts that often led to debt. African Americans were actively involved in politics through the Republican party, holding hundreds of offices, though they faced growing violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan seeking to suppress black rights and voting.
End of Reconstruction
1) Support for Reconstruction and black rights declined in the North due to economic hard times, racism, and a desire to focus on other issues.
2) President Grant's scandals weakened support for Republicans as corruption charges emerged.
3) By the 1870s, the Republican party shifted from advocating for equality to protecting business interests, contributing to the end of Reconstruction.

The Civil War (US History)
The Civil War turned in 1863 with major Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, though the Confederacy remained resilient under Robert E. Lee. In 1864, Lincoln was re-elected on the National Union ticket, signaling support for his emancipation policies. That year, Grant battled Lee to a stalemate in Virginia while Sherman marched through Georgia, destroying Confederate resources and morale in his "march to the sea." The Union shifted to total war, weakening the South further and setting the stage for Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House in April 1865, effectively ending the Civil War.
Cuba before the revolution
Cuba before the Revolution was characterized by foreign domination, corruption, and poor living conditions for most Cubans. It was ruled by Fulgencio Batista, who allowed the US to control much of Cuba's economy. Batista had a corrupt military and rigged elections to remain in power. Most Cubans lived in poverty without access to electricity, indoor plumbing, healthcare, or education. Havana had become dominated by organized crime. The Cuban people suffered greatly under Batista's repressive regime, with an estimated 20,000 killed or tortured.

However, black Americans faced ongoing struggles with discrimination and efforts to restrict their newfound rights in the post-war South.
Populism and the Election of 1896
The document discusses the rise of populism among American farmers in the late 19th century. Farmers faced economic hardships during the Gilded Age due to falling crop prices, demonetization of silver, and restrictive banking policies. This led to the formation of groups like the Grange movement and Farmers' Alliances to advocate for farmers' interests. In 1892, the Populist Party was established to push for reforms like government ownership of railroads and an eight hour work day. The party gained support but ultimately lost the 1896 presidential election to William McKinley, marking a defeat for populism and victory for the gold standard.

Chapter 13
Between 1824 and 1840, America saw the rise of mass democracy and the development of a two-party political system. Andrew Jackson's election in 1824 represented the ascendance of the common man in politics. His support of the spoils system helped build the Democratic Party. The Tariff of Abominations and the Trail of Tears highlighted tensions between Jackson's policies and other groups. By 1840, the political landscape was defined by the Democratic and Whig parties, which advocated different philosophies of government.
Populism
Populism emerged as a movement in response to economic struggles farmers faced after the Civil War. Various crises drove down crop prices while transportation and bank costs rose. The Greenback and silver policies caused inflation harming farmers. Farmers organized through the Grange and Farmers' Alliance to demand reforms like free silver coinage and regulation of railroads. This led to the formation of the Populist Party in the 1890s, which promoted farmers' interests and included women. Though short-lived, Populism drew attention to farmers' economic issues.

As president, he opposed the Bank of the United States, siding with western farmers over eastern bankers. Jackson also instituted the spoils system, rewarding political supporters with government jobs instead of prioritizing experience, bringing possibility of office closer to common people. Overall, Jackson's background and policies aligned him with regular Americans over the wealthy and privileged.

The document summarizes key events and developments during the era of Jacksonian democracy from 1820-1840. It discusses the decline of the Federalist party and rise of universal white male suffrage. It also outlines Andrew Jackson's presidency, including his battles with the Second Bank of the United States and South Carolina's nullification crisis over tariffs. The election of 1824 and Jackson's subsequent "corrupt bargain" charge against John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay is also summarized.
The Age of Jackson
Andrew Jackson's presidency influenced the spread of American democracy in several ways:
1) Jackson expanded voting rights and portrayed himself as a champion of the common man, though voting was still limited to white men.
2) He implemented the "spoils system" of replacing government workers with his political supporters.
3) Jackson aggressively pursued the forced removal of Native American tribes, most notoriously the Cherokee Trail of Tears, to open more land for white settlement.
Civil war 1861
In 1861, seven Southern states seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America in response to Abraham Lincoln's election. Both sides expected a short war but were unprepared for the lengthy conflict that ensued. The Union adopted a strategy of naval blockade and dividing the Confederacy, while the South aimed to take Washington D.C. and gain foreign recognition. The first major battle at Bull Run resulted in a Confederate victory and shocked the North with the war's severity. Maintaining European neutrality remained crucial for the Union to ultimately prevail.
Jackson (2)
Jackson was a symbol of the emerging working and middle classes despite being born in a log cabin but living in a mansion and being a slave owner. His presidency from 1824-1840 saw an expansion of democracy and voting rights but still excluded women and racial minorities. Key events included the Nullification Crisis where Jackson asserted federal power over states' rights, the forced removal of Native Americans leading to the Trail of Tears, and dismantling the Second Bank of the United States. These policies increased executive power and economic opportunity but were also controversial.

Progreessive Era Chapter07
The document summarizes key events in the early 19th century United States that led to increasing regional economic and political differences between the North and South. The North industrialized and relied on manufacturing and trade while the South developed a plantation economy dependent on cotton and slavery. Andrew Jackson expanded democracy but also advanced the forced removal of Native Americans. Debates over states' rights and national banking increased tensions between advocates of federal power and states' rights.
Progreessive Era Chapter07
The document summarizes key events in the early 19th century United States that led to increasing regional economic and political differences between the North and South. The North industrialized and moved away from slavery, developing different economies based on manufacturing, trade and family farms. Meanwhile, the South's economy became primarily based on large plantations and the cotton industry, which strengthened its dependence on the institution of slavery. These growing economic divisions between the regions eventually manifested as political tensions around states' rights and the balance of power between the federal government and states.
Life of andrew jackson
Andrew Jackson was born in 1767 to a poor family in South Carolina. He fought in the Revolutionary War as a young man and later became a lawyer and politician in Tennessee. As a general in the Creek Wars of 1813, Jackson gained recognition as a military hero. He was elected president in 1828, bringing the "spoils system" of replacing government officials. As president, Jackson also pushed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, ignoring the Supreme Court to support Georgia's removal of Native American tribes. Jackson vetoed the renewal of the Second Bank of the United States and responded strongly to South Carolina's nullification of federal tariffs. After leaving the presidency in 1837, Jackson retired to his home in Tennessee.
Standard 8
The document discusses several key factors that contributed to the growing division between the North and South in the United States, including the expansion of slavery in the South due to the cotton gin and demand for land versus the growth of industry without slave labor in the North. It also discusses abolitionist movements, slave rebellions, the Missouri Compromise, nullification crisis, and the Compromise of 1850 as major events that exacerbated sectional tensions over the issue of slavery.
AP US History Chapter 9
The document provides context on Andrew Jackson's inauguration in 1828 and presidency. It describes how Jackson's inauguration was unusually rowdy, with thousands of dollars of glass and china being broken and alcohol being carried out in tubs as people celebrated. Jackson appealed to common white men and helped usher in a new era of mass politics and the spoils system. His presidency aimed to limit the power of entrenched urban elites in Washington and attacked the National Bank, which he saw as overly powerful. He also strongly supported Indian removal, negotiating treaties to move Native American tribes west of the Mississippi River.

Identifying people
This document provides instructions and examples for how to properly identify important historical figures by including who they are, what they did and when, and why they are historically significant. It demonstrates this format by identifying Barack Obama as the first African American President of the United States in 2009. Another example identifies Christopher Columbus as the sailor who sailed west across the Atlantic in 1492 seeking a route to Asia, leading to an exchange of people and ideas between hemispheres. The document then asks the reader to identify several other important explorers and conquistadors using this same format.

This document summarizes Tony Odom's experiences at the 2014 Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute held at Mississippi State University from June 1-30. The institute focused on Common Core standards, technology, and 21st century skills. Some of the topics covered included debunking myths about Common Core, emphasizing skills like critical thinking over just reading, using technology to flip the classroom and make teaching easier, and classroom tools for assessments, assignments, and safe student activities.
European americapart2
Major European colonial powers in the Western Hemisphere in the 1500s-1700s included Spain, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal. They made land claims and established colonies in North America and South America during this period. The colonies of each country had distinct characteristics in terms of location, religion, economy, and society. Conflicts arose between the colonial powers particularly over control of the fur trade and trade in the Caribbean, which eventually contributed to the 13 British colonies rebelling and forming the United States.
Indian removal
This document summarizes the forced removal of Native American tribes from the Southeast region of the United States in the 1830s under the Indian Removal Act. It outlines the five main tribes affected - the Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws, and Seminoles. It describes how the Cherokees and Choctaws lost their lands, with the Cherokees unsuccessfully fighting removal in the Supreme Court. It concludes that Indian removal was driven by non-Native Americans wanting their lands, not because the tribes refused to adopt Western ways.
The two faces of benedict arnold
Benedict Arnold was one of the most able and talented officers in the early Continental Army, leading successful campaigns to capture Fort Ticonderoga and leading the American forces to victory at Saratoga. However, he felt passed over for promotion and was deeply in debt, which led him to plot to surrender the heavily defended West Point fort to the British in exchange for a commission in the British Army. The plot was discovered just before he could complete the surrender. Arnold fled to New York to join the British as a general. He is considered one of the most notorious traitors in American history.
The french and_indian_war
The French and Indian War began as a series of conflicts between England, France, and Spain from 1689 to 1754 over territorial claims in North America. England and France both claimed the Ohio River Valley, leading George Washington to fire on French soldiers in 1754, sparking open war. The British captured the key French forts of Duquesne and Montreal by 1760, gaining control of most of North America east of the Mississippi River but also accumulating massive war debts. To help pay these debts and maintain control, Parliament began taxing the American colonies through acts like the Sugar Act, Quartering Act, and Stamp Act in 1764-1765, fueling colonial opposition and resentment.
European america
The document summarizes the Columbian Exchange and the establishment of European colonies in North America between the 1500s-1600s. It describes the global exchange of crops, foods and ideas that resulted from Columbus' voyages, including staples like corn, potatoes and chocolate being introduced to Europe. It then outlines the major colonial powers that established claims and settlements in North America - Spain, Britain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal - and provides brief overviews of the locations, economies, religions and societies of their respective colonies. Conflicts began emerging between colonial powers over trade, territorial disputes and piracy in the Caribbean and North America.
The protestant reformation
The Protestant Reformation began in 1517 when Martin Luther publicly challenged certain Catholic Church doctrines and practices. He was troubled by the Church selling indulgences to lessen time in purgatory and believed salvation came through faith alone, not works. Henry VIII later formed the Church of England in 1534 when the Pope refused to annul his marriage. John Calvin furthered the Reformation by believing in predestination and advocating for a life without sin. The Reformation ultimately led to the formation of new Protestant denominations like Lutherans, Puritans, Baptists, Presbyterians, and others.
Conquest of paradise
The document summarizes the conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires by Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s. It describes the Aztecs and Incas, who lived in Central America and the Andes respectively, and their cultures. It then outlines how Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztecs in the 1520s and Francisco Pizarro conquered the Incas in the 1530s, taking advantage of disease and technology. It also briefly discusses other Spanish explorations and the social hierarchy that developed under Spanish rule in the Americas.
Alien invasion
The document describes Columbus' arrival in the Americas in 1492 and questions whether this was truly the first contact between European and indigenous peoples. It provides several examples of possible early contacts, such as Viking settlements in Canada in 1000 AD, Olmec stone heads resembling Africans, and alloys used by Native Americans matching those in Africa. The document suggests Europeans were motivated to find trade routes to Asia in search of valuable spices following increased demand after the Crusades exposed them to Asian goods. Portugal succeeded in reaching Asia by sailing around Africa, so Spain took a chance on reaching Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic.
Crash Course in Early Western Civ.
The document provides background on religions, governments, and civilizations in Europe, Africa, and Asia prior to 1492. It discusses the origins and influences of Judaism, Christianity, Greek democracy, and Roman republicanism. It describes the major empires in Africa and trade networks between Asia, Africa, and Europe. It summarizes the divisions in Christianity in Europe, the Renaissance in Italy, Portugal's explorations down the African coast, and Christopher Columbus's proposal to reach Asia by sailing west.
Native american cultures
The document outlines the seven main Native American culture groups - Southeastern, Eastern Woodlands, Great Plains, Southwestern, Arctic/Subarctic, California/Great Basin, and Northwest Coast. Each section provides details on the location and tribal groups of each culture, as well as how they survived through activities like farming, hunting, fishing, and nomadic hunting. Overall, the document categorizes and describes the different Native American cultures based on their geographical regions.
Native america
Native Americans began farming corn and other crops around 7000 years ago, enabling them to settle in one place rather than wander for food. Years of agriculture led to a food surplus, which allowed the development of advanced civilizations with occupations, long distance trade, and cities. Major Native American civilizations that arose due to surplus food included the Olmec, Maya, Inca, Aztec, Moundbuilders, and Pueblo peoples.
Native origins
The document discusses the theory that the first Americans migrated to North and South America across a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska during the last Ice Age. While this "Land-Bridge Theory" was widely accepted, newer evidence has challenged this view. Archaeological sites in South America and the Pacific Northwest have been dated to over 14,500 years old, earlier than presumed migration occurred. Additionally, some skeletal and artifact findings suggest the possibility of ancient migrations by boat from Europe or across the Pacific. Overall, the evidence continues to accumulate and revise scientific understanding of how and when the first people settled in the Americas.
The americas1
The document summarizes the physical geography of North and South America, including their location between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, bordering oceans and mountain ranges. It also outlines the major river systems, including the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence River, the Mississippi River system, and the Amazon River Basin. Finally, it briefly describes the seven regions of the United States and provides test questions about locating these regions and their component states.
Logic
1) The document discusses how to establish the authenticity and validity of someone's knowledge claims through evidence and logical reasoning.
2) It provides examples of evidence such as documentation and eyewitnesses that can be used to verify someone's identity and claims.
3) Common logical fallacies like hasty generalizations, circular reasoning, and false dichotomies are explained, which can undermine the logical reasoning behind someone's knowledge claims if present.
Critical thinking
Critical thinking involves asking clarifying questions to fully understand concepts, asking for evidence to back up claims, and not being intimidated when pushing for more information. It is not about thinking a lot without focus or being inherently smarter, but rather listening carefully and questioning to gain a deeper understanding. Effective questions acknowledge what is already understood and identify sources of confusion, rather than vague inquiries, to make progress on difficult topics through discussion and evidence.
Slaveryexpansion
The document summarizes key events between 1820-1860 that heightened tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery and led to Southern states beginning to secede from the Union. Some of the major events included the Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowing Missouri to enter as a slave state while banning slavery north of 36°30', the Mexican-American War and annexation of Texas expanding slavery, the Compromise of 1850 admitting California as a free state while strengthening the Fugitive Slave Act, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 establishing popular sovereignty, and the Dred Scott decision of 1857 declaring that Congress could not regulate slavery in the territories.
