Archaeology Vocabulary - History Unit Berg
This document defines key terms related to the study of archaeology. It explains that archaeology involves recovering and studying artifacts, ruins, bones, and fossils from past civilizations to learn about earlier times. Some important tools used in archaeology are compasses, measuring tapes, paint brushes, screens, trowels, field kits, and whisk brooms, which are used to carefully excavate archaeological sites and study the objects found. Archaeologists use various dating techniques and written records to analyze their findings in historical context.
Abolitionism in black and white
The document discusses the abolition movement which sought to end slavery of African Americans in Europe, the Americas, and Africa. It began as black resistance to slavery and grew as Christian morality and revolutionary ideas spread in the late 1700s. Abolitionists in Europe and Britain succeeded in banning the slave trade by 1807. In the US, abolitionism increased with slave rebellions and the work of Quakers and radical abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison. The Underground Railroad helped slaves escape to the North and Canada. The Civil War and 13th Amendment ultimately led to the legal end of slavery in 1865, though discrimination continued.
Abolishment of slavery (part1)
Maria W. Stewart was born in 1803 in Hartford, Connecticut. She was inspired by David Walker to become a warrior for God and her people. After her husband's death, she gave her first public speech in Boston in 1832, becoming the first American woman to do so. Her speeches advocated for abolition, education, and greater rights for African Americans. Her fourth and final speech addressed the negative reaction to her public speaking and her sense of divine calling despite having little effect.

British v continental army
The document compares the Continental Army and the British Army during the American Revolution. The Continental Army was made up of American patriots and militias who fought against the British Army, which was sent by King George III to regain control of the colonies. The Continental Army had advantages of familiarity with the land, good leadership, high motivation, and alliances. Its disadvantages included little money and supplies and no formal army or navy. In contrast, the British Army had advantages of its large size, funding, and powerful navy, but was unmotivated, had long supply lines, was unfamiliar with American land, and had little colonial support. Students will make a foldable comparing the two armies and reflect on which they would prefer to join
Creating the constitution
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established procedures for governing new western territories acquired by the United States under the Treaty of Paris in 1783. It provided for territorial governors and outlawed slavery in the territories. The Articles of Confederation failed because it did not allow the federal government to collect taxes, issue currency, or act effectively, making it weak. Americans were concerned about Shays' Rebellion as it showed Congress could not defend the country and they feared the new nation was falling apart.
Exploration and Colonial Era 1492-1763
Between 1492-1763, European powers explored and colonized North America. Spain and Portugal initially explored for religion, wealth, and glory. England established colonies for religious freedom and economic opportunity, settling the New, Middle, and Southern colonies. Conflict arose with Native Americans over land. The Southern colonies economy relied on the establishment of slavery to support the growth of cash crops like tobacco with warm weather and fertile soil. The French and Indian War resulted in British control of most French territory in North America but also tax increases that angered colonists.
English colonies in america
The English established colonies in North America for various reasons, including religious freedom, opportunities for land ownership, and to expand their empire. The first permanent English colony was Jamestown, founded in 1607 by the Virginia Company. Self-governance developed through entities like the House of Burgesses in Virginia and the Mayflower Compact of the Plymouth Colony. The colonies developed diverse economies including farming, fishing, lumbering and cash crops, and employed indentured servants and slaves to work the land.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
