Reteach unit 7 antebellum america
The document provides information on the economic, social, and political differences between the North and South in antebellum America that contributed to growing tensions between the regions. It notes that the North's economy was based on manufacturing, industry, and free labor while the South relied on slave labor to support its agricultural plantation economy focused on cash crops like cotton. It describes the rise of urbanization and industrialization in the North compared to the rural society of the South, and how these diverging economic models affected factors like transportation, social classes, cities, and labor practices in each region, ultimately leading Americans to turn to civil war to resolve their disagreements.
Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution began in the United States in 1791 with Samuel Slater establishing the first cotton spinning factory. Eli Whitney then invented the cotton gin in 1793, which was 50 times more effective at separating cotton seeds from fibers than handpicking. This made cotton highly profitable and renewed demand for slave labor. By 1860 over 400 million pounds of southern cotton was poured into over 1,000 textile mills, mostly in New England. Other innovations like interchangeable parts and inventions like the telegraph and sewing machine transformed manufacturing.

Mexicans make up the largest foreign population in the United States, with 9.8 million currently living in the U.S., accounting for 30% of all immigrants. Mexicans began immigrating in large numbers during the 19th century to work on new cattle ranches and for the railroad industry, where 60% of railroad workers were Mexican immigrants by the 20th century. However, the creation of the Border Patrol in 1924 made illegal immigration much more difficult and created prejudice towards both immigrants and Mexican-Americans.
California
The document summarizes the history of labor and immigration in California from the 19th century to the 1990s. It describes how the Gold Rush brought massive immigration that changed California's demographics. Major periods of economic hardship like the Great Depression caused further migration to the state. The rise of unions and labor strikes increased in the early 20th century. Cesar Chavez led important farm worker strikes fighting for higher wages. More recent decades saw increased illegal immigration which placed economic burdens on the state, and the population became highly ethnically diverse.
The Southern Colonies
The document summarizes the founding and early history of the Jamestown colony, the first permanent English settlement in North America. It details how the colony struggled at first due to a lack of preparation and farming skills among the colonists. Disease and conflict with the local Powhatan Confederacy led to many deaths in the early years. The colony became more successful after John Smith took control and instituted new rules. The introduction of tobacco as a cash crop by John Rolfe helped the colony become profitable. However, the headright system of rewarding land for transporting colonists led to the rise of indentured servitude and later slavery to meet the need for labor on the large plantations.

The Industrial Revolution
The document summarizes the key events and impacts of the Industrial Revolution. It began in Europe in the 1700s as the population grew and demanded more efficient ways of production to meet needs. New inventions like the spinning jenny and steam engine automated manufacturing. This led many to move from rural to urban areas to work in the new city-based factories. While some American leaders opposed industrialization, it eventually spread to the U.S. where new infrastructure like railroads and policies to promote inventions accelerated industrial development, transforming the economy.
The Story of American Agriculture
The document discusses the history of agriculture in America from early Native American practices through 1877. It describes how Native Americans cultivated the three sisters of corn, beans, and squash and introduced many important crops. As colonists arrived, they relied on the Native Americans' agricultural knowledge and adopted their farming techniques. Over time, new technologies and inventions transformed American agriculture, increasing productivity and reducing labor needs. By the late 1800s, agriculture had become a major industry in the US.
Life Industrial Revolution
During the Industrial Revolution in Britain:
1. Workers had long hours in factories with little free time for leisure activities.
2. Sports like football started to develop as a way for workers to relax during their limited free time.
3. The promotion of sports was also seen as a way to ensure workers remained physically able to perform demanding factory jobs.
1920’s America
The document discusses the economic boom of 1920s America. It occurred due to long-term factors like abundant natural resources and a large internal market, as well as short-term factors like the US filling the void left by European industries during World War 1. Key features of the boom included new mass production techniques exemplified by Henry Ford's assembly lines. However, not all groups benefited equally from the prosperity - black Americans, farmers, wage earners and the unemployed struggled despite the overall economic growth.

Birth of modern america chapter 3
The document discusses the development of the American West in the late 19th century. It notes that while most felt the Great Plains could not be farmed, they were well suited for cattle grazing. This led to the establishment of vast cattle drives to transport Texas longhorns to railroads further north. The railroads, which saw significant expansion in the 1860s-70s, helped open up the Plains to farming through land grants and new technologies like barbed wire. However, this westward expansion displaced Native Americans and led to conflicts over land and assimilationist policies.
USH History Ch. 2
The document summarizes key events in early American history from the establishment of the new republic to the Civil War era. It discusses the rise of political parties like the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, important presidents like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison, the War of 1812, westward expansion and the concept of Manifest Destiny, increasing sectional tensions particularly around the issues of slavery and states' rights, and ultimately the Civil War between the Union and Confederate states from 1861-1865.
The progressive era
The Progressive Era saw Americans seeking reforms in the early 20th century to address issues arising from rapid industrialization, immigration, and urbanization. Progressives promoted social welfare by improving public health and reducing child labor. They also sought to make government and businesses more efficient and regulate large monopolies. Additionally, Progressives pushed for moral reforms like temperance and women's suffrage. Teddy Roosevelt championed many progressive causes with his Square Deal agenda during his presidency from 1901-1909.
USH History Chapter Nine
The Great Depression lasted from 1929 to 1941 and was caused by a combination of factors. The stock market crash of 1929 led to widespread bank failures as banks had invested heavily in the stock market and made loans to investors. Unemployment rose to 25% as GDP was cut in half, and makeshift villages known as "Hoovervilles" sprung up as many families lost their homes. The Dust Bowl drought exacerbated problems, and Hoover's response was initially insufficient although he did enact some public works projects later on.
Ush chapter 4
In 1898, the United States asserted itself as a world power through military expansion and imperialism. This watershed year saw the U.S. annex Hawaii, defeat Spain in the Spanish-American War, and gain control of Cuba, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines.

APUSH Lecture Ch. 17
The document discusses the rapid industrialization of the United States between 1865-1900. Key factors contributing to industrialization included abundant natural resources, labor supply, new technologies, capital investment, and business-friendly government policies. Mass production techniques like assembly lines and scientific management principles increased efficiency. The railroad industry expanded greatly and helped open up new markets. While proponents argued industrialists were self-made men and capitalism expanded opportunities, there was growing unrest over extreme wealth inequality and poor conditions for many workers. As monopolies consolidated power, the socialist movement gained some influence in response to the social problems of the late industrial era.
Industrial Revolution 2
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain for several key reasons: it had a large population and workforce, capital to invest, natural resources like coal and iron, and colonies that provided markets. Several important inventions drove the revolution, including James Watt's improved steam engine in 1775 and Edmund Cartwright's water-powered loom in 1785. This led to the establishment of factories near resources like coal, iron, and water for power. The revolution transformed society and living/working conditions, and new social classes like the middle and working classes emerged.

Industrial revolution
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain due to several key factors: abundant natural resources like coal and iron; a growing population and workforce; entrepreneurs seeking profit; and capital investment. Major inventions in textiles, steam power, and iron production drove industrialization. This led to rapid urbanization, the rise of new social classes, and difficult working conditions for many. The Second Industrial Revolution saw new technologies in steel, electricity, chemicals, and transportation further transform economies.
Americans move west
As more settlers moved West, three key developments transformed the landscape:
1. A mining boom brought growth to western towns, though mining was dangerous work.
2. The cattle industry created a short-lived "Cattle Kingdom" on the Great Plains, driven by demand for beef, before competition and new technologies ended it.
3. The transcontinental railroad connected East and West, spurring further population growth and economic development in the West.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
