An Indian raid on July 8th 1755 in Drapers Meadows, present-day Blacksburg, Virginia resulted in prisoners being taken, including Bettie Drapper to an Indian village near Chillicothe, Thomas Drapper to Detroit, and Mary Ingles and her baby who were taken to a salt lick near Cincinnati. After being held captive over the summer and fall, Mary Ingles and a Dutch woman escaped together, leaving Mary's baby behind as they had no supplies. They lived off the land and traveled around 500 miles over six weeks to make their journey to safety.

Slavery in the South involved only those of African descent, often becoming a permanent condition. It resulted from the buying and selling of stolen Africans. The demand for cotton increased the need for slavery and the number of slaves grew dramatically between 1792 and 1860. The Underground Railroad was a network that aided runaway slaves by hiding them during the day and helping them travel at night using code words and marked trees. Frederick Douglass was a former slave and leading abolitionist who published an antislavery newspaper, while Harriet Tubman repeatedly risked her freedom to lead others to escape slavery via the Underground Railroad.
African American Experience in the West
African Americans played important roles in exploring and settling the American West from the 1800s onward. Many worked as mountain men, cowboys, farmers, and miners, seeking freedom and opportunity. Approximately one-fourth of all cowboys were black. Some founded all-black towns to escape racism and gain land. The "Buffalo Soldiers" were respected all-black units in the US Army that fought Native Americans during the Indian Wars.

2 the abolitionist movement
The document discusses the abolitionist movement in the United States during the 1830s. It describes early opposition to abolitionism from both the North and South, with divisions growing between the regions. Abolitionists proposed both gradual and immediate approaches to ending slavery, as well as colonization plans to send freed slaves to Africa. William Lloyd Garrison emerged as a leader through his abolitionist newspaper The Liberator, calling for the immediate end to slavery without compensation. Nat Turner's slave rebellion in 1831 increased fears of rebellion in the South and led to harsher laws against fugitive slaves. Other prominent abolitionists included Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth. The Underground Railroad helped transport runaway
Slave Society
The slave trade was banned in 1808, but the enslaved black population still grew to 4 million by 1860 through reproduction. By then, there were around 250,000 freed blacks mostly in the upper South. Freed blacks faced restrictions on where they could work and live. Abolitionists like Theodore Dwight Weld, William Lloyd Garrison, and David Walker published works condemning slavery and calling for emancipation, while the American Colonization Society unsuccessfully tried to transport blacks to Africa. Southerners defended slavery and said it benefited blacks, while abolitionist speeches in the North angered mobs.
The Abolition Of Slavery
Slavery was abolished in 1807 in Britain, though some continued the trade illegally. Slaves were kept in horrific conditions on ships during the Middle Passage. After abolition, freed slaves faced continued discrimination through Jim Crow laws and segregation until the American civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1950s-60s. The Ku Klux Klan formed to terrorize black communities but declined in the mid-20th century as civil rights progressed, though small groups still operate today.

French and indian war
The French established fur trading forts along the Great Lakes in 1669 under Robert Cavelier de la Salle and had good relations with local Indians who used the Ohio Valley region for hunting and gathering and did not view land as something that could be owned. The British also explored the Ohio Valley region beginning in 1671 but were seen as more of a threat by Indians due to British plans to settle and divide lands into private property, in contrast to French relations.
1812 war
The War of 1812 began as a result of tensions between the United States and Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. The British imposed trade sanctions and attacked American ships, leading President Jefferson to enact the Embargo Act of 1807, which banned trade with Britain and hurt the American economy. This contributed to a change in leadership and the eventual declaration of war under President Madison in 1812. The war involved several American attempts to invade Canada by land and sea that were ultimately unsuccessful, as well as naval battles where the more powerful British fleet defeated American ships. The war ended in 1814 with the Treaty of Ghent, which resolved few of the original tensions and restored the pre-war borders between the US and Britain.
Mary finds a home in Bedford...A chapter in the life of Mary Draper Ingles
Mary Draper Ingles was taken captive by Shawnee Native Americans in 1755 after their attack on Draper's Meadow in Virginia (now Blacksburg, VA). She escaped after a grueling 10-month journey and found refuge in Bedford County, Virginia with her husband William Ingles c. 1756-1759. They likely named their Bedford County home "Ingleside" as later descendants also named their homes. Mary and William had several children, though the fates of some are unknown such as what happened to their son George. Mary endured great hardship but helped establish the Ingles family lineage that continues today in southwest Virginia.

Early American settlers wore simple clothing made from materials available locally like wool and linen. They lived in small wooden homes with few furnishings that provided basic shelter. Life expectancy was much lower in the 1600s-1700s due to disease and lack of modern medicine - women and children often did not live past their 40s and many children did not survive early childhood.
Osgood
The document provides reading and questions about indentured servants and German settlers immigrating to America. It asks the reader to read a passage about indentured servants and compare them to slavery. It also has questions about details from the Gottlieb Osgood voyage from England to Philadelphia, including where Gottlieb came from, how long the voyage took, what smells passengers dealt with, and what would happen to people who couldn't pay upon arrival. It asks the reader to summarize the article in six sentences about who it was about, their experience, whether the voyage was worth the risk.
Ratifying
The document discusses the ratification of the US Constitution, outlining key terms like Federalist, Anti-Federalist, and Bill of Rights. It then summarizes several principles of the Constitution such as popular sovereignty, limited government, separation of powers, and checks and balances. The three branches of government - judicial, executive, and legislative - are defined along with their roles. Finally, the document briefly mentions the Great Compromise.
Section 2 powerpoint
The document outlines the objectives of understanding the reasons for the Constitutional Convention, summarizing the rival plans of government proposed, and describing the compromises made to reach agreement on the Constitution. It provides terms and people to focus on that are important to those objectives, including Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, the Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan, Great Compromise, Federalism, and the Three-Fifths Compromise.
Constituion
The document discusses the creation of the US Constitution and weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. It describes that under the Articles, Congress could not collect taxes, each state had equal voting power regardless of size, amendments required unanimous approval, and there were no executive or judicial branches to enforce laws. The weaknesses led patriots to draft a new Constitution that created a stronger federal government.
Creating the constitution full
The document discusses the creation of the US Constitution and early national government structures. It describes debates around executive power and representation in legislatures. Early state governments were republics with one vote each in Congress. The Articles of Confederation established a federal government but it had no taxing power and required unanimous state approval to pass legislation. The Northwest Ordinance established a process for settling and governing the Northwest Territory through territorial governments and statehood.
Creating the constitution
The document discusses the creation of the US Constitution and traditions of colonial government. It explains that some patriots wanted a unicameral legislature with power in the hands of common people, while others preferred a bicameral system with a Senate for the wealthy and House of Representatives for voters. There were also debates around who could vote, with democratic patriots wanting almost all free men to be able to vote while conservative patriots wanted property requirements. The Articles of Confederation drafted in 1777 created a federal government consisting of a congress chosen by state legislatures rather than voters.
End of war
The document summarizes how the American Revolutionary War ended. The British were defeated through a series of battles, aided by Spanish forces and local militias, despite early victories in the South. The turning point was the 1781 Battle of Yorktown, where French naval forces trapped 8,000 British soldiers. This led to the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which granted the United States independence and expanded its territory while ignoring Native American claims.
Turning point
The document discusses Patriots and Loyalists during the American Revolutionary War. Patriots supported the Continental Congress and disliked British taxes, while Loyalists wanted to remain under British rule and believed Patriots were abusive. Patriots harassed Loyalists and shut down their newspapers. The war shifted to the middle colonies as the British forces moved from Boston to New York City and later New Jersey. European allies like France and Spain joined in support of the Patriots due to Benjamin Franklin's diplomacy, though the Patriots faced many hardships like the difficult winter at Valley Forge with lack of supplies.
Turning points of war
Most colonists supported the Continental Congress and disliked British taxes, leading them to become Patriots who harassed and shut down the newspapers of Loyalists who wanted to remain under British rule. The Loyalists appealed to Native Americans and enslaved people for support. Key figures and battles in the Revolutionary War included General William Howe, the Battle of Trenton led by General Charles Cornwallis, the Marquis de Lafayette, Benjamin Franklin, and the winter at Valley Forge.
Causes of revolution
The document summarizes some of the key causes of the American Revolution, including the Stamp Act which taxed newspapers and other publications, the Sons of Liberty who led protests against British taxes, and the Boston Massacre where British soldiers fired on colonists. It also discusses the Townshend Acts which imposed new import taxes, the First Continental Congress where delegates from colonies met to discuss their response, and the Boston Tea Party protest.
Classroom mgnt

Cornstalk
Chief Cornstalk's death led the Indians he was with to leave and head for Fort Donnally. Two men dressed as Indians to warn the fort of the approaching Indians. The settlers at Fort Donnally gathered at Colonel Donnally's house with 80 defenders and 60 women and children. When the Indians attacked, two guards blocked the door until Captain Arbuckle arrived with soldiers. Chief Cornstalk's death appeared to spark further conflict between settlers and Indians.
Fort henry attacks
Union forces led by Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant attacked and captured Fort Henry on February 6, 1862 along the Tennessee River, with naval support from Admiral Andrew Foote and his fleet. During the battle, Lieutenant Lloyd Tilghman bravely remained at his post and refused to surrender even after the fort had fallen. The Confederate forces were forced to retreat from the fort, handing an early victory to the Union in their campaign to control the important rivers of the western theater.
