The Road to Civil War (USHC 3.1)
This PowerPoint presentation is designed to review the timeline of events leading to the Civil War - specifically designed for high school students preparing for APUSH and the South Carolina End of Course (EOC) examination in US History.
Tet 1968
The Tet Offensive began in January 1968 when 84,000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army troops launched surprise attacks against South Vietnamese cities and towns, hoping to spark uprising. Though the attacks were repelled, the offensive shocked most Americans by contradicting U.S. claims of military progress. Iconic images of the war brought its violence home and eroded public support, prompting Walter Cronkite to declare the war a stalemate. As anti-war protests grew, political pressure mounted and led President Johnson to withdraw from reelection and begin peace negotiations. While a military failure for Hanoi, Tet was seen as a turning point that ended America's will to continue fighting in Vietnam.
Vietnam war
France colonized Vietnam in the 1800s. After World War 2, Ho Chi Minh led the Viet Minh in a war for independence against the French. The US intervened to prevent the spread of communism. This led to a civil war between North Vietnam and the US-backed South. Despite massive US bombing campaigns and troop deployment, North Vietnam was able to reunify the country in 1975 after the US withdrew. The Vietnam War was extremely divisive in the US and resulted in over 58,000 American deaths.
Civil rights update1
The document provides a overview of several key events and developments in the 1950s and 1960s related to civil rights and social movements in the United States. It discusses the civil rights movement gaining momentum through important court cases and activism by groups like the NAACP and SCLC. Key figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X pushed for desegregation and black nationalism. Other social movements of the time focused on women's rights, American Indian rights, and labor rights led by groups like SNCC, the Black Panthers, and United Farm Workers. The Vietnam War escalated under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, despite growing domestic opposition.
Causes of the civil war
The Civil War was caused by economic and social differences between the North and South, conflicts over the expansion of slavery into new territories, and the growth of the abolitionist movement. The election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed the expansion of slavery, led Southern states to secede from the Union. Key differences between the North and South included their views on slavery, states' rights, and the economies of industry in the North versus plantations and agriculture in the South. Abolitionists like John Brown, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frederick Douglass, Levi Coffin, and Susan B. Anthony worked to end slavery through peaceful and violent means.
Conflict and Compromise in History
The document discusses several examples of conflict and compromise throughout American history including:
1) Slavery was abolished after the Civil War which ended the conflict over slavery.
2) African Americans faced discrimination and segregation but pioneers like Booker T. Washington, Jackie Robinson, and Martin Luther King Jr. helped compromise by breaking barriers and advancing civil rights.
3) Issues like immigration, communism, women's suffrage, and protests involved both conflict and compromise over time as views and policies changed.
George washington
George Washington was the first president of the United States. He was born in 1732 in Virginia and raised as a plantation owner. Washington fought in the French and Indian War and later led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolutionary War. He was then elected unanimously as the first president in 1789. Washington was crucial in the development of the US Constitution and believed strongly in limited government. He refused to take sides during the French Revolution and established precedents as the first US president. Washington died in 1799 and was mourned across the new nation.
Tet offensive
The Tet Offensive of 1968 saw surprise attacks by Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces across South Vietnam on the Tet holiday, as they attacked 68 cities and 50 towns. Though the offensive was eventually defeated, it lasted for up to two weeks and was bloody, with high casualties on both sides. The capture and mass burial of 1,000 civilians in Hue demonstrated the ferocity of the fighting. While a military defeat for the Viet Cong and North Vietnam, Tet had a powerful psychological impact on Americans, undermining confidence in the war and leading many to question how to exit Vietnam, with President Johnson replaced by Nixon two months later.

George Washington Foreign Policy
George Washington faced difficult foreign policy decisions early in his presidency regarding the French Revolution. While Thomas Jefferson supported aiding France as an ally from the Revolutionary War, Alexander Hamilton and John Adams opposed getting involved due to the violence and non-democratic nature of the revolution. Washington ultimately chose to declare American neutrality and not take sides between France and Britain. In his farewell address, Washington warned against long-term alliances with foreign nations and advocated for minimal political connections abroad.

16 mark example answer
The document discusses two interpretations of why America lost the Vietnam War. Interpretation one argues that effective Viet Cong tactics like guerrilla warfare, ambushes, and booby traps caused heavy American casualties and reduced troop morale. Over half of US casualties were from ambushes, and booby traps like bouncing betties caused 11% of casualties. Interpretation two argues that expensive and ineffective American tactics were the main reason for loss. The US spent $2000 per second and $400,000 to kill one Viet Cong soldier. This high cost drained support from the American people and forced withdrawal. Additionally, US tactics killed many innocent civilians, losing the support of South Vietnamese people and making it impossible to defeat the Viet Cong. Overall, the
Powerpoint 1
The Civil War began in 1861 and lasted until 1865, resulting in over 600,000 casualties. The war was caused by economic, political and social divisions between the North and South. The North favored industry and abolition, while the South relied on agriculture and slavery. Tensions escalated following Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, with several Southern states seceding to form the Confederate States of America. The first major battle was at Fort Sumter in South Carolina in 1861, marking the start of armed conflict between Union and Confederate forces.
Representations
On August 26, 1970, Betty Friedan led tens of thousands of women in a march down Fifth Avenue in New York City to mark the 50th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. The event, called the Women's Strike for Equality, protested unequal pay and called on women to withhold their labor for a day. Organizers also asked housewives to refuse domestic work. Gloria Steinem and other speakers addressed the crowd about continuing divisions among women and the need to make the feminist movement more inclusive of women of color.
The tet offensive
The Tet Offensive was a major military campaign conducted during January-February 1968 by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam against South Vietnam, the United States, and their allies. It involved surprise attacks against major cities and towns across South Vietnam, including Saigon. Militarily, the offensive was a catastrophic failure for the Viet Cong and North Vietnam, as they suffered heavy losses. However, it had important political and psychological effects, undermining support for the war in the United States by contradicting claims by the Johnson administration that the end of the war was in sight. It marked a major turning point in the Vietnam War.
George washington by_matthew makar
George Washington was born in Virginia in 1732 and became a hero during the American Revolutionary War as the commander of the Continental Army. He led the army to victory over the British in 1783 and later became the first President of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. Washington was an iconic leader who is still honored today on currency, monuments like the Washington Monument, and Mount Rushmore for his pivotal role in establishing the United States.
Slavery abolition
Thomas Clarkson was a key abolitionist in Great Britain who gathered evidence of the torture of slaves during ship transport. He formed an abolitionist society and lobbied politicians for 20 years until Britain banned the slave trade in 1807. However, slavery still existed in Britain. Elizabeth Heyrick campaigned for full abolition and gained widespread support. After decades of parliamentary debates, the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 was passed, freeing all slaves in the British Empire over the next four years while providing compensation to slave owners. Key figures like Clarkson, William Wilberforce, and Heyrick were instrumental in the British abolition movement.

Causes of WWII Timeline
Nazi Nationalism Leading to World War II can be summarized in 3 sentences:
Nazi party membership grew rapidly from the late 1920s through the early 1930s as Hitler rose to power. Hitler aggressively expanded German territory by remilitarizing the Rhineland in 1936, annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland in 1938, and invading Poland in 1939. This German aggression ultimately led to the start of World War II in Europe in September 1939.
Bibliography for Causes of WWII Timeline
This document lists 3 references about German history and Nazi Germany. The first reference is a website about the German Historical School containing images and information. The second reference is a Spartacus Educational website including many significant Nazi party events and movements. The third reference is a History on the Net website that helped fill gaps in other timelines and offered additional chronological options on Nazi Germany.
Causes of WWII Charts
The document summarizes key events in Germany from 1929 to 1939 that led to the rise of nationalism and the Nazi party, and ultimately World War 2. It describes how nationalist sentiments grew among the German population from the late 1920s onward, demonstrated by increasing support for the Nazi party and events like adopting the swastika as the national flag in 1935. Nationalism spread beyond Germany as well, with pro-German riots in Czechoslovakia in 1937. Finally, German nationalism culminated in the invasion of Poland in September 1939, marking the start of World War 2.
Treaty of Versailles
The document discusses the five main causes of tensions from the Treaty of Versailles that contributed to World War II:
1) Germany had to accept sole responsibility for World War I and the war clause of the treaty drove the population mad with guilt.
2) Germany had to give up some of its borders, sparking anger in the nation.
3) The treaty reduced Germany's military, air force, and navy, controlling the country in ways that built frustration.
4) The reparations cost was huge though paid over 88 years, fueling future frustration and war.
5) Falsely portraying the treaty's contents started some conflicts between nations from misunderstandings.
Cogito ergo sum
This document discusses and analyzes René Descartes' famous philosophical statement "Cogito ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"). [1] It explains that Descartes came up with this statement in 1637 as part of his philosophical treatise "Discourse on Method" to establish the existence of the self through consciousness and thinking. [2] The document considers different perspectives on this statement, including those who question whether our existence is real or not, and discusses Pierre Gassendi's disagreement with Descartes' reasoning. [3] In conclusion, the author agrees with Descartes' view that if we can think and doubt, then we must truly exist.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

- 2. Our Top Five ~#1 Their rights were denied as colonists of Great Britain This is the most significant because this was “The straw that broke the camels back” in a sense. The people had put up with so much crap from their British “brothers” and they had, had it. They revolted primarily because of this reason.

- 3. Our Top Five ~#2 10/20/2010 Katey Snihur and Vanessa Averill 3 There wasn’t fair treatment to the colonies This is in the second most important topic because, as any good parent would know, treating people, of all ages, unequally and unfairly will often, if not always, result in a conflict or rebellion of some kind. This is what happened here.

- 4. Our Top Five ~#3 10/20/2010 Katey Snihur and Vanessa Averill 4 The colonists didn’t agree with the laws of Britain and so wished to go by their own laws This is important because they wanted independence from the King, and his laws. They felt that they deserved their own government system where THEIR voices would be heard and THEIR opinions valued and considered. This is not the most important reason because they had always wanted this, in fact, New France to the north wanted this as well, this wasn’t the turning point it was simply a strong weighing factor to why they finally decided to go to war with their mother country.

- 5. Our Top Five ~#4 10/20/2010 Katey Snihur and Vanessa Averill 5 There was taxation without representation This is definitely a major factor to the American Revolution because the people were being taxed more and more heavily and they weren’t entirely sure about what for. Naturally people like to know where and why their hard earned “money” (in the form of produce, live stalk, etc.) is going. When the taxes got steadily heavier the people demanded to know what was going on back home. When they were denied that knowledge, they began to consider a revolution. This isn’t the most important because they didn’t actually decide to revolt because of this, this just brought the idea to the table.

- 6. Our Top Five ~#5 10/20/2010 Katey Snihur and Vanessa Averill 6 The colonies' wealth was suffering because of the various trading regulations Finally, this is important because if a nation has little wealth then they aren’t happy people, a wealthy nation is a happy nation. Because they were unhappy they were more willing to come to the agreement of a rebellion. It’s not the most important because it only effected their feelings for the British empire, it didn’t make them actually rebel.
