Political machines organized groups that offered services like jobs, assistance to immigrants, and community improvements in exchange for political support. The machines were led by city bosses who controlled judges, jobs, and politics through networks of local precinct workers and ward bosses. Tammany Hall was the powerful Democratic political machine in New York City led by Boss Tweed in the late 1800s. Though they provided services, political machines were often corrupt, using patronage to reward supporters with government jobs and graft to illegally profit from their influence.

The United States became the world's leading industrial power by 1920 due to its natural resources, government support of business, and large cities that provided cheap labor and markets. Key developments included the oil boom in the Midwest and Texas sparked by Edwin Drake's use of steam power to drill for oil. Henry Bessemer's development of the Bessemer Process to remove impurities from iron led to steel becoming critical to the economy and industries like railroads, bridges, and skyscrapers. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and helped develop electric power distribution, while inventions like the typewriter and telephone further advanced industry. The transcontinental railroad connected major cities, which grew significantly, and innovations like George Pullman's sleeper cars and later
Unit 3 notes 1
The document outlines the key events of Reconstruction from 1865 to 1877. It describes Andrew Johnson's lenient presidential reconstruction plan, which pardoned many Confederates. It sparked conflict with Radical Republicans in Congress who wanted to address the needs of freed slaves and destroy the political power of former slaveholders. Congress attempted to pass the Freedmen's Bureau Act and Civil Rights Acts of 1866 to assist freed slaves, but both were vetoed by Johnson. This led to congressional reconstruction and the drafting of the 14th Amendment guaranteeing citizenship and equal protection under the law. Johnson was eventually impeached by the House but acquitted by the Senate.

After the Civil War, former slaves went back to working in the fields through exploitative systems like sharecropping and tenant farming. The Ku Klux Klan emerged as a terrorist organization that used violence to intimidate blacks and Republicans in order to reinstate white supremacy and prevent blacks from voting. As scandals weakened the Republican Party's control, Democrats took back power in Southern states in the late 1870s. This ended the Reconstruction era and allowed Southern Democrats to restrict the rights of blacks through "home rule" policies.

Unit 2 notes 4
The Civil War resulted in significant political, economic, and social changes. Politically, it increased the power of the federal government and no state has attempted to secede since. Economically, the North's industry boomed while the South's economy was devastated by the loss of slavery and destruction of infrastructure. An enormous human and economic toll was taken, with over 600,000 casualties and both sides amassing over $3 billion in war debts. The war also ended slavery through the 13th amendment and impacted individuals like Clara Barton, John Wilkes Booth, and the challenges of Reconstruction.
Unit 2 notes 2
The document summarizes key events and developments during the American Civil War. It discusses the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves in Confederate states and allowed African Americans to join the Union army. It also describes how the Confederacy and Union implemented conscription and dealt with dissenters. The economies of the North and South were affected differently, with the Union economy strengthening due to factories supplying the war effort while the Confederacy struggled with shortages and a weakened economy due to the loss of resources to the war and Union blockade of ports.
Unit 5 notes 2
This document discusses the rise of big business in the late 19th century United States. It describes how industrialists like Andrew Carnegie in steel and John D. Rockefeller in oil amassed huge fortunes by integrating their companies both vertically and horizontally to dominate their industries. Their success contributed to the ideas of social Darwinism and that government should not regulate business, though some viewed these businessmen critically as "robber barons." It also outlines the formation of labor unions to advocate for workers' rights and better pay and conditions in response to big business.
Civil war medicine
Civil War medicine lacked understanding of bacteriology and the causes of disease. Doctors at the time were ignorant of what caused disease and how to prevent its spread or cure illnesses. Overall, Civil War medicine was before advances in understanding disease transmission and treatment.
Unit 6 notes 2
This document summarizes urbanization and urban problems in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded housing, increased crime, and problems with infrastructure like sanitation, water, and fire safety. New technologies allowed for mass migration from farms to cities. Social reformers worked to address these issues through policies, organizations like settlement houses, and drawing attention to problems through photographs of urban poverty.
Current event example
Angel Nieves pled guilty to third-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 to 60 years in prison for killing Rafael Del Valle during an attempted robbery at a mini market in North Philadelphia in 2012. Nieves and another man attempted to rob the store but were confronted by the owner, who pulled a gun. Del Valle, an employee, then chased after one of the robbers but was shot by Nieves from behind. Nieves' accomplice's trial is still ongoing.
Unit 1 notes 4

911 timeline
Over several decades, from the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis to attacks in the 2010s, the United States has experienced numerous terrorist attacks and incidents of violence. These include the bombing of the US embassy and marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983, the Pan Am 103 bombing in 1988, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and the September 11th, 2001 hijacking of four airplanes and attacks on the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon that killed nearly 3,000 people. Subsequent attacks include the 2012 Benghazi consulate attack in Libya and hostage executions by ISIS in the mid-2010s.
Unit 1 notes 2
The document outlines the key differences between the North and South in the United States prior to the Civil War. The North was more urban, industrial, and had railroads, factories, immigrants, and no slavery, while the South was more rural, agricultural, relied on cotton, had little industry and railroads, few immigrants, and legal slavery. It then discusses the Compromise of 1850 which admitted California as a free state but also strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act, causing tensions over the issue of slavery in new western territories to increase.
Middle passage
The document summarizes the triangular trade route between Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands during the transatlantic slave trade. Ships called "slavers" left British ports loaded with goods to trade for enslaved Africans on the coast of West Africa. They then forcibly transported the enslaved Africans, known as the Middle Passage, in inhumane conditions to the Caribbean Islands and Americas. Enslaved labor produced raw materials in the colonies like sugar, tobacco, and cotton that were traded back to Europe for manufactured goods, completing the triangular trade route that greatly enriched European countries through slavery.
Unit 1 notes 1
This document summarizes key aspects of slavery and abolitionist movements in the United States prior to the Civil War. It outlines that approximately 2.8 million slaves worked on plantations in the South growing cash crops like cotton and tobacco. Abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass advocated ending slavery, with Douglass escaping slavery and becoming a prominent anti-slavery speaker. Nat Turner led a slave rebellion that killed 60 whites in Virginia. Meanwhile, slave owners defended the institution of slavery by outlawing education for slaves and using their political power to prevent southern states from ending slavery.
Unit 7 notes 1
The Progressive Era was a period of political and social activism aimed at correcting problems resulting from industrialization and urbanization in America. Progressives sought to return power to the people by promoting social welfare, morality, economic reform, and efficiency in business. They also worked to clean up government through goals like ending child labor, limiting working hours, and changing elections through initiatives, referendums, recalls, and having Senators elected by popular vote rather than state governments.
Unit 1 notes 3
Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin increased abolitionist protests by vividly depicting the moral evil of slavery, and Lincoln later credited it with starting the Civil War. The 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act established popular sovereignty for deciding if new states allowed slavery, fueling violence as pro- and anti-slavery settlers fought for control, with over 200 deaths. Tensions rose further as the Pottawatomie Massacre and caning of Senator Sumner polarized sections. New political parties emerged divided over slavery and immigration.
Unit 7 notes 2
Women led reform efforts during the Progressive Era, pushing for change due to dangerous working conditions, low pay, and long hours. They formed organizations like the National Association of Colored Women to fight for the rights of black women and the National American Women's Suffrage Association led by Susan B. Anthony to fight for women's suffrage. Key figures like Alice Paul founded the National Women's Party and led protests in Washington D.C., while Carrie Chapman Catt later became president of NAWSA and helped pass the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women's right to vote.
Unit 7 notes 3
Theodore Roosevelt was a progressive president who believed the president should use the bully pulpit to push new laws and influence public opinion. He broke up trusts and monopolies, ended a major coal strike, and passed the Meat Inspection Act and Pure Food and Drug Act to regulate the food and drug industries. Roosevelt also established more national parks and preserved wilderness areas on the advice of conservationist John Muir. However, he did not actively push for civil rights reforms.
1 pre colombian era and colonization
This document provides an overview of early American history from the pre-Columbian period through the colonial era. It discusses how the first Americans migrated to North America across the Bering Strait during the last Ice Age. It then summarizes the major indigenous civilizations that existed in North and Mesoamerica prior to European contact, including the Aztec and Inca Empires. The document next examines the motivations and activities of the major European colonial powers in North America, including exploration, conquest of native peoples, and the establishment of colonies. It provides brief summaries of the founding and economies of the 13 original colonies.
California final
California has extremely diverse geography and climates due to tectonic plate collisions, ranging from the highest mountains to lowest elevations in the US. It also has high biodiversity, once home to the largest trees and variety of plant and animal life. The many native tribes that lived in California for over 25 generations exploited this diversity and had few conflicts due to ample resources. California also has highly diverse populations due to many immigration waves, and has struggled with resulting racial tensions manifested in events like the Watts riots and Proposition 187. The state was shaped by various social movements as well as natural and man-made disasters.

It describes both "pull factors" that attracted settlers such as cheap land through railroad sales and the Homestead Act, as well as "push factors" like the high cost of land in the east. Various ethnic and religious groups settled different regions. Conflict arose with Native Americans who resisted loss of their lands. While the US government initially made treaties, it later switched to an assimilation policy through actions like the Dawes Act after defeating Native tribes in battles such as Little Bighorn. Homesteading on the plains was difficult but improved over time with irrigation and machinery. Various economic booms also occurred due to gold and cattle

APUSH West
The document discusses the mistreatment of Native Americans by the U.S. government in the 19th century, including the forced removal of tribes from their lands, broken treaties, massacres like the Sand Creek Massacre, and the failed reservation system. It also covers the expansion of white settlers into the West and conflicts with Plains Indians, the destruction of the bison herds, and the eventual subjugation of Native Americans onto reservations by the late 1800s.
Assignment 4 california part 1
Rancho life in early California involved large extended families living together and eating meals prepared by Indian cooks that consisted of beef, tortillas, peppers, and fruits. Most people were illiterate. Thomas Larkin was instrumental in encouraging California to become a US state as the first American consul. John Fremont helped lead the Bear Flag Revolt and raised the first American flag. The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ceded Mexican territory including California to the US. James Marshall's 1848 discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill sparked the California Gold Rush, causing the population to boom from 10,000 to 255,000 as men sought riches.

The Anasazi Indians
The passage provides background information on the Anasazi Indians, who inhabited the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States beginning around the time of Christ. For over 1,000 years, the Anasazi thrived and built cliff dwellings that could only be accessed by climbing, providing strong defenses. These multi-room dwellings, some reaching five stories high, were constructed of stone, mud, and wood. While the Anasazi began settling into an agricultural lifestyle around 400 AD, their elaborate cliff dwellings dating back to around 9,000 BCE still stand today in the Four Corners area.

Urban problems
Overcrowded and unsanitary housing, inadequate transportation systems, and contaminated water supplies were among the major urban problems faced by growing American cities in the late 19th/early 20th century. Solutions to address these issues included establishing standards for ventilation and plumbing in housing, expanding electric streetcar and subway systems, and implementing water filtration and chlorination. Cities also worked to improve sanitation, reduce crime, and limit fire risks by creating sewer lines and sanitation departments, establishing police forces, and requiring fire-resistant building materials along with sprinkler systems.

The document summarizes key events of the Vietnam War, including Nixon's Vietnamization policy of withdrawing US troops while increasing bombing, the unpopularity of the war due to massacres like My Lai and protests against the invasion of Cambodia, the leaking of the Pentagon Papers, the last US troops leaving Vietnam in 1973 and Saigon falling to North Vietnam in 1975, and the war's legacy including over 58,000 US troops killed and a loss of faith in the government.
Unit7 notes4
The Tet Offensive of 1968 was a surprise attack by the Vietcong on several South Vietnamese cities during the Lunar New Year celebration. Though the US and South Vietnam won militarily, with over 32,000 Vietcong deaths, the offensive shook public support for the war as it showed the Vietcong was not close to defeat as had been portrayed. This caused US news anchor Walter Cronkite and others to lose confidence in the war, and led President Johnson to decide not to seek re-election. Protests against the war escalated amid rising violence, with the assassinations of MLK and RFK. At the chaotic 1968 Democratic Convention, Richard Nixon was elected after promising to restore order and end the Vietnam War.
Unit7 notes3
The Vietnam War led to the reintroduction of the military draft that required men aged 18 to 26 to register. Many men tried to avoid the draft through medical exemptions, university deferments, or other means. African Americans made up a disproportionate number of combat troops despite representing only 10% of the US population. Around 10,000 women also served in Vietnam mostly as nurses. Opposition movements to the war emerged on college campuses led by groups like Students for a Democratic Society who believed the government and corporations had too much control. Protests against the war increased with events like teach-ins and marches drawing thousands. As the war dragged on, divisions grew between those who opposed withdrawing troops and those who felt the US should
Unit7 notes2
General William Westmoreland led US troops in Vietnam and argued that the Army of Vietnam could not defeat the Vietcong without US support. He pursued a war of attrition to exhaust the enemy through casualties. US forces engaged in search and destroy missions that caused civilian resentment. The Vietcong effectively used guerrilla warfare with small, mobile groups and a network of tunnels, while the US relied on strategies like carpet bombing and Agent Orange spraying that failed to defeat the elusive enemy. As the human and financial costs of the war escalated at home, public support for the war declined due to the contrast between government messages and negative news coverage.
Unit7 notes1
The document summarizes key events in the Vietnam War. It details France's colonial rule over Vietnam until the 1940s when Ho Chi Minh led a revolt for independence. The Vietminh defeated France in 1954, dividing Vietnam along the 17th Parallel. Ngo Dinh Diem came to control South Vietnam but canceled elections to reunify. As communism spread, the US increasingly intervened militarily in the 1960s under presidents Kennedy and Johnson to support South Vietnam and contain communism, leading to extensive bombing and ground troop deployment.
Unit5 notes7
The document outlines several major economic and social reforms that took place during the 1960s as part of President Johnson's "Great Society" agenda, including the passage of tax cut and civil rights bills in 1964, the establishment of Medicare, Medicaid and education programs, and several Supreme Court cases that expanded civil rights and criminal justice protections.
Unit5 notes6
This document summarizes key events during John F. Kennedy's presidency, including early difficulties passing legislation, successes like the Peace Corps and increasing the NASA budget, ongoing issues of poverty and civil rights, and Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963.
Unit5 notes5
John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960 over Richard Nixon because people felt the US was losing the Cold War and Kennedy appeared cooler in televised debates. The Bay of Pigs invasion, in which the US backed Cuban exiles to overthrow Fidel Castro, failed and made Kennedy look weak. In 1961, the Soviet Union built the Berlin Wall to stop East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the US discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, brought the world the closest it had been to nuclear war but was resolved through negotiations.
Unit5 notes4
The document discusses several key terms from the 1950s during the Cold War era, including the GI Bill of Rights which provided benefits for veterans, the growth of suburbs as an alternative to overcrowded cities, the Dixiecrats political party formed by Southern Democrats opposed to civil rights, and the 1952 presidential election where Eisenhower defeated Stevenson despite Nixon's controversies. It also mentions the post-war baby boom, Jonas Salk's discovery of the polio vaccine, and the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case that ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
Unit5 notes3
During the Cold War period, fear of communism in the US led President Truman to establish a Federal Employee Loyalty Program and the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate individuals and groups with potential communist ties. The Hollywood 10 were imprisoned for refusing to testify before HUAC, and many others were blacklisted from their careers. Notable spy cases involved Alger Hiss being imprisoned for passing messages to the Soviets and the Rosenbergs being executed for sharing atomic bomb information with the Soviets. Senator Joseph McCarthy further inflamed tensions with unfounded accusations of communist infiltration, though his credibility declined when he bullied army witnesses on television.
Unit5 notes2
The document summarizes key events in China and the Korean War during the Cold War era. In China, the US-backed nationalist government lost a civil war to the communist forces led by Mao Zedong between 1944-1947. Korea was divided at the 38th parallel in 1945 with the Soviet-backed North and US-backed South. The North launched an attack in 1950 that was pushed back by UN forces led by the US. China later joined by fighting for the North, and an armistice was reached in 1953 leaving the peninsula divided along ideological lines.
Unit5 notes1
The Cold War began due to tensions between the US and USSR after WWII. The US was angry with Stalin for breaking promises made at Yalta and keeping the atomic bomb secret. The USSR wanted to spread communism while the US sought to contain it and give countries self-determination. This led to Europe being divided with an "Iron Curtain" between the Western democratic countries and Eastern bloc nations controlled by the Soviet Union. Germany was split into the capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany allied with the USSR.
Unit4 notes4
The document summarizes key events and changes in the United States during and after World War II. It discusses the Yalta Conference where Stalin, Churchill and FDR met to decide the fate of Germany after the war. It also describes the Nuremberg Trials where Nazi leaders were tried for war crimes and the US occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1952 where the US helped reform Japan. Additionally, it outlines changes in the US economy and society during this period such as increased jobs, migration patterns, the GI Bill and racial tensions that erupted in riots.
Unit4 notes3
This document summarizes key events in the US involvement in World War II against Japan in the Pacific theater. It describes major battles such as Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, and Leyte Gulf, where the US halted Japan's expansion and began to take back islands. It also discusses the bloody battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa as the US moved towards invading Japan. Finally, it covers the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which ultimately led Emperor Hirohito to surrender and end the war.
