The Homestead Act of 1862 aimed to promote westward expansion by granting land claims to male citizens and immigrants who would improve the land. While some impoverished farmers benefited, much of the land went to speculators who sold it at inflated prices or to non-farmers. Industrialization later led to large corporate farms replacing small homesteads in the West. The Homestead Act attracted settlers seeking land, riches, freedom, jobs, adventure, and family in the growing nation.

Westward expansion
Westward expansion from 1865 to 1914 led to significant changes across the United States. The discovery of gold in California in 1849 sparked the Gold Rush, drawing thousands of prospectors West in search of wealth. This period also saw the expansion of the cattle industry, growth of the railroad system, and an influx of homesteaders and immigrants seeking land and opportunity. However, westward settlement increasingly came into conflict with Native American tribes, leading to broken treaties, warfare, and the eventual confinement of most tribes to reservations by the late 19th century.
Westward Expansion
Westward expansion occurred as thousands of pioneers moved west for opportunities like mining for gold during the California Gold Rush, free land offered by the Homestead Act, adventure, and escaping undesirable situations. Pioneers faced many dangers on their journeys in covered wagons like lack of resources, harsh weather, and conflicts with Native Americans and other settlers. Life was difficult for settlers on the prairie as they built homes in isolated areas with little protection or infrastructure. While the pioneer spirit drove many west, the expansion had negative impacts as well through displacement of Native Americans.
Manifest destiny
Manifest Destiny was the belief in the 1800s that the United States was destined to expand across North America to the Pacific Ocean. From 1803 to 1853, the U.S. more than doubled in size through various territorial acquisitions like the Louisiana Purchase, annexation of Texas, and war with Mexico, gaining control of land stretching from coast to coast. This westward expansion was driven by both the desire to spread democracy and economic opportunities like the California Gold Rush of 1849.
Causes of the American Revolution
The document summarizes the key events that led to the American Revolution from 1763 to 1774. It provides background on colonial unrest growing due to new taxes from the British Parliament and King George III's proclamations restricting colonists. This tension escalated through acts like the Stamp Act, Quartering Act, Boston Massacre, and Intolerable Acts. By 1774, the First Continental Congress convened and war appeared inevitable after the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
President Jimmy Carter
President Carter faced many domestic and foreign policy challenges during his presidency from 1977-1981. Domestically, he tried to tackle high inflation and unemployment by developing a national energy policy focused on conservation and alternative energy. However, inflation continued to rise. He had some environmental successes but the Three Mile Island incident increased concerns about nuclear power. In foreign policy, Carter recognized China, pursued arms limitations with the USSR, and brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel. However, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Iranian hostage crisis undermined his presidency and contributed to his loss in the 1980 election.
The Rise Of Big Business
The document discusses the rise of big businesses and monopolies, known as "trusts", in late 19th century America following the Industrial Revolution. It describes how entrepreneurs like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Morgan amassed huge fortunes and monopolies by vertically and horizontally integrating important industries like railroads, steel, oil, and banking. While this concentration of economic power benefited the businesses, it hurt consumers by reducing competition and allowing prices to rise without constraint. The Sherman Antitrust Act was passed to limit monopolies but proved ineffective against the powerful trusts that dominated the American economy at the time.
History of Jamestown
The Jamestown settlement was established in 1607 by the Virginia Company as the first permanent English colony in North America. The original 104 colonists struggled greatly, with over 60% dying in the first winter from famine, disease, and conflicts with local Native Americans. John Smith emerged as a leader and instituted policies that helped the colony survive. Tobacco was introduced as a cash crop in 1611 and greatly boosted the colony's prosperity. The Virginia Company's charter was revoked in 1624 after criticism of its mismanagement led to many colonist deaths. However, the colony survived and became economically viable due to the lucrative tobacco trade.
Homestead act ppt
The Homestead Act was passed in 1862 to encourage settlement of the Great Plains by offering citizens 160 acres of government land if they improved the land by building a home and planting crops within 5 years. While the requirements seemed easy, many settlers lacked farming experience and the land was dry, making farming difficult. Less than half of the 2 million people who claimed land under the Homestead Act lived there long enough to own it. Pioneers built homes out of sod blocks when wood was scarce.

the american revolution 1775 1781 powerpoint for all lessons!
The document provides background information on the American Revolution. It describes how the Enlightenment ideas of self-rule and British taxation without representation led the colonists to rebel. Key events that increased tensions included the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The colonists declared independence in 1776 and formed the United States of America with a constitution that established a democratic federal government with protected rights and liberties.
The Gilded Age
The Gilded Age (1870-1900) was a period of rapid economic growth and industrialization following the Civil War. New factories and businesses transformed the U.S. economy and society. Wealthy industrialists and financiers accumulated vast fortunes while many workers faced difficult conditions. Political machines dominated cities and corruption was rampant. The era saw both conspicuous wealth and growing social tensions that would lead to reforms in the Progressive Era.
Manifest Destiny
The document discusses the various motivations and factors that drove United States expansion westward in the 19th century. Key reasons included the spread of American beliefs and civilization through missionary work; the need for access to ports on the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico for trade; the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution creating demand for resources and farmland; and a belief in "Manifest Destiny" that America was destined to expand across the continent.

Andrew jackson
The document summarizes key events during Andrew Jackson's presidency and the rise of Jacksonian democracy. It describes how Jackson appealed to common workers and farmers in his campaigns. His supporters saw him as representing the interests of average citizens over the wealthy elite. As president, Jackson fired many government officials and replaced them with political allies, establishing the spoils system. He also signed the Indian Removal Act, leading to the forced relocation of Native Americans and the tragic Trail of Tears. Sectional divisions between North and South grew over tariffs and states' rights during Jackson's two terms.
The american revolution
The American Revolution was an uneven fight between 1775-1783, with Britain having advantages in military strength and resources over the American colonists. Key turning points included the Continental Army's surprise victory at Trenton and the British surrender at Saratoga, which convinced France to ally with the Americans. With further support from France and other countries, Washington was able to trap Cornwallis' forces at Yorktown in 1781, marking the last major battle. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 officially recognized American independence.
Reconstruction ppt
The document summarizes the Reconstruction period after the American Civil War. It describes how the South was devastated after the war and needed to be rebuilt. Reconstruction involved reunifying the nation, establishing the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves, and readmitting Confederate states to the Union. However, Southern states passed Black Codes limiting black freedoms, and the Ku Klux Klan emerged targeting blacks and Republicans. Disagreements over Reconstruction policies led to the impeachment of President Johnson. Segregation and Jim Crow laws later enforced racial separation until being outlawed in the 1960s after the Civil Rights Movement.
The California Gold Rush
In 1848, gold was discovered in California, sparking the California Gold Rush. Word of the discovery quickly spread, with thousands traveling from around the United States and the world to seek their fortune in the gold fields. While some struck riches, most found only difficult living conditions with long hours of backbreaking work for little pay amid disease and hardship. Though the surface gold was soon depleted, the Gold Rush transformed California and contributed to the wider settlement of the American West.
The american revolution
The American Revolution can be summarized as follows:
1) The Revolution was a period from 1763-1783 that involved not just the war for independence but also the colonists' transition from seeing themselves as British subjects to an independent American nation.

Progressive era powerpoint
The Progressive Era in America saw widespread reforms in the early 20th century to address issues like workers' rights, women's and children's rights, economic issues, and the environment. Reformers sought to (1) protect social welfare, (2) promote moral improvement, (3) create economic reform, and (4) foster efficiency. Notable progressive presidents included Theodore Roosevelt, who broke up trusts and conserved natural resources, and Woodrow Wilson, who strengthened antitrust laws and established the Federal Trade Commission. However, the movement failed to significantly advance civil rights for African Americans.
The War Of 1812
The War of 1812 was caused by American grievances against Britain related to impressment and attacks on American ships. Known as the War Hawks, a group in Congress pushed for war. They were opposed by Native American leader Tecumseh, who sought an alliance with Britain. Though the U.S. military was unprepared, battles were fought in Canada and at sea. In 1814, British forces burned Washington D.C., but American forces later won a key victory at the Battle of New Orleans under General Andrew Jackson after the war had ended. The war was concluded in 1815 with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent.
Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 balanced the number of free and slave states by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. It also prohibited slavery in territories north of the 36°30' parallel, excluding Missouri. This compromise temporarily resolved the issue of the expansion of slavery but increased sectional tensions and ultimately failed to prevent the Civil War.
Reconstruction and the black experience
During Reconstruction, newly freed African Americans sought to reunite families separated by slavery and build new lives through education, employment, and participation in politics. Freedmen's schools educated over 150,000 students by 1869, though many southern whites opposed these schools. While some hoped the government would provide land, most freed people had to work through sharecropping systems or labor contracts that often led to debt. African Americans were actively involved in politics through the Republican party, holding hundreds of offices, though they faced growing violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan seeking to suppress black rights and voting.
Chapter 20: Immigrants and Urban Life
Between the 1880s and 1900s, millions of new immigrants arrived in the United States from southern and eastern Europe, fleeing poverty, persecution, and seeking opportunities. They faced difficult journeys and were processed through immigration centers like Ellis Island upon arrival. The new immigrants largely settled in cities and took on unskilled jobs, living in overcrowded tenement housing. As cities grew rapidly, urban infrastructure expanded through skyscrapers, subways, and parks to accommodate the large populations. However, this also led to problems like unsanitary living conditions that reformers worked to improve through legislation, investigative journalism, and social programs.
Reconstruction (1865-1877)
The Reconstruction of the South summarizes the period after the Civil War when the United States sought to reintegrate the Confederate states and protect the rights of freed slaves. It describes the competing plans of Lincoln, Johnson, and Radical Republicans to rebuild the South. Ultimately, Reconstruction ended in 1877 with the Compromise that withdrew federal troops and oversight from the South.
Louisiana purchase
The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States by acquiring land west of the Mississippi River from France in 1803. Though uncertain if the Constitution permitted incorporating such a large territory, President Jefferson decided to purchase the land to secure the vital Mississippi River trade route for western farmers. He then commissioned the Lewis and Clark Expedition to map and explore the new acquisition, helping open up the western lands to settlement and transforming the young nation's economy and political landscape.
Erie Canal
The document discusses the history and background of the Erie Canal, which was built between 1817 and 1825 to connect Lake Erie and the Hudson River. It summarizes that the 363-mile canal took 8 years to complete at a cost of $7,143,000 and over 1,000 workers died building it. The canal reduced shipping costs by 90% and cut travel time in half, allowing Buffalo to rapidly grow as a trade center.
French and Indian War
The French and Indian War began in 1754 due to tensions between France and England over control of North America and trade routes. George Washington was defeated by the French at Fort Necessity, driving the British from the Ohio Valley. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ceded French North American territories to Britain and Spain and redrew colonial boundaries.

Growth and expansion terms
1. Manifest Destiny and the Louisiana Purchase enabled westward expansion in the US, allowing more settlers to move west of the Mississippi River and claim land.
2. Systems like the Headright system and land lotteries distributed free land to encourage population growth and allow settlers to own property.
3. However, Native American tribes like the Cherokee and Creek were displaced from their lands, often violently, leading to the forced removal known as the Trail of Tears.
8 settling the west
The document summarizes the key developments in mining and settlement in the American West between 1850-1900. It describes how the discovery of gold and silver in places like Virginia City led to boomtowns. Technological advances like barbed wire, steel plows and windmills helped enable large-scale farming on the plains. The Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged western expansion by offering settlers land. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 further transformed the region. However, this influx of settlers and depletion of buffalo herds by hunters caused conflicts with Native Americans over land, leading to events like the Battle of Little Bighorn and Wounded Knee Massacre.
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 document summarizes key events in American history related to westward expansion between the late 1800s and early 1900s. It describes how the culture of Plains Indian tribes declined as white settlers moved onto their lands, forcing tribes onto reservations. Settlers engaged in mining, ranching and farming on the Great Plains, transforming the land, despite facing many hardships. Farmers organized through alliances and populism to advocate for their economic interests against railroads and other industries they felt were exploiting them.
13 Original Colonies.ppt
Here are 3 key differences between the Northern and Southern colonies:
1. Environment/Geography/Climate: The Northern colonies had colder climates with rocky soil not well-suited for large-scale agriculture, while the Southern colonies had warmer climates with fertile, flat land well-suited for large plantations.
2. Agriculture: The Northern colonies focused on small family farms and fishing/trade, while the Southern colonies specialized in large-scale cash crop plantations like tobacco and rice that relied heavily on slave labor.
3. Manufacturing: The Northern colonies had more manufacturing and industry like shipbuilding and mills, while the Southern colonies focused mainly on agricultural production and had less manufacturing.

The document summarizes Western expansion in the mid-19th century United States. It discusses key events like the annexation of Texas, Oregon Territory, and Mexican Cession that expanded U.S. territory westward. It also describes cultural clashes as European, Mexican, African American, Chinese, and Native American groups interacted in the expanding West. Ranching, farming, mining, and the transcontinental railroad transformed the economy and society of the Western territories during this period of rapid growth and conflict. Farmers organized cooperatives and the Populist movement in response to economic difficulties in the late 1800s.
Manifest destiny
Manifest Destiny was the widely held 19th century belief that American settlers were destined to expand across North America. This expansion was seen as beneficial, bringing American democracy and economic development to additional lands. The United States expanded between 1803-1853 through various means, including the Louisiana Purchase, annexing Texas, and the Mexican Cession following the Mexican-American War. Settlers moved westward using various transportation methods like covered wagons, stagecoaches, steamboats, and eventually railroads. The Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged further settlement by providing land to citizens. By the late 1800s, the continental United States stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific as a result of this westward expansion.
4.2 the rise of farming in the west
The US government offered incentives like the Homestead Act of 1862 to encourage settlement of the Great Plains. This act allowed individuals to obtain 160 acres of land for a $10 filing fee if they lived on and improved the land for 5 years. Daniel Freeman was one of the first to take advantage of this act, filing a land claim at midnight on New Year's Eve 1862. Over 1.6 million homesteads totaling 270 million acres were eventually claimed through this act. While farming innovations like steel plows and mechanical reapers made agriculture on the plains possible, many hardships were faced and approximately 80% of homesteads ultimately failed often due to drought, grasshoppers, harsh weather, and low wheat prices.
Teacher Notes MODULE 7.pptx
The document provides an overview of American expansion and westward movement in the 19th century. It describes how manifest destiny and the pursuit of economic opportunity encouraged settlers to move west across North America. This resulted in territorial disputes with Mexico, leading to war and the U.S. acquiring large territories in the Southwest. The gold rush in California in 1848 further increased westward migration and the population of the western United States.
Westward Expansion
Westward expansion between 1801-1861 encouraged exploration and vast territorial growth in the US, leading to new economic opportunities. The development of industries like mining, ranching, farming and logging expanded across the Midwest and West. In the late 1800s, the railroad system and new technologies like the telegraph connected more areas and accelerated the movement of people and goods. However, westward expansion also resulted in conflict as Native American land was increasingly taken and destroyed, with many tribes being killed or forced to assimilate to white culture. By the early 1900s, the contiguous US stretched across North America following these patterns of exploration, settlement, development and industry spurred by westward migration.
The west slideshare
The Great American Desert was previously seen as a barren wasteland unsuitable for living, but the Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged westward expansion by offering settlers 160 acres of land. This led to conflict with Native American tribes who already occupied the land and depended on buffalo for subsistence. As settlers moved further west, military campaigns like the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876 and Nez Percé retreat in 1877 displaced Indian tribes onto smaller reservations. The Dawes Act of 1887 further eroded tribal lands and sought to assimilate Native Americans into white society through allotment of individual plots and attendance at boarding schools.
Westward Expansion and Sectionalism
Westward expansion between 1803-1853 led to the acquisition of new territories across North America through treaties, purchases, and war. This included the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, Florida in 1819, Texas in 1845, Oregon Country in 1846, Mexican Cession in 1848, and Gadsden Purchase in 1853. The expansion heightened regional tensions between the North, South, and West over the issues of slavery, states' rights, and the power of the federal government.
The 12 Key Dates in the American West
The document summarizes 12 key dates in the settlement of the American West between 1837-1890. It describes major events like the 1837 financial crisis that pushed people west, the 1848 California Gold Rush that greatly increased western migration, the 1862 Homestead Act that encouraged settlement of the Great Plains, the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre where hundreds of Native Americans were killed, the 1869 completion of the Transcontinental Railroad that reduced travel time and connected the east and west, and the 1890 Battle of Wounded Knee which marked the end of Native American resistance to U.S. control of the Great Plains.
STAAR_15_America_Builds_an_Empire.ppt
The document discusses America's rise to becoming a world power in the late 19th/early 20th century through expansion and imperialism. Key events include the Spanish-American War, which gave the US control over Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. This marked the decline of the Spanish Empire and the beginning of the US as a world power. The document also discusses America's growing influence in Asia through trade and relations with China and Japan, as well as building the Panama Canal to further economic and military interests in the region.
Unit 1 powerpoint #2 (the gilded age the old west)
The document discusses the settlement of the American West following the Civil War. It summarizes that the growth of railroads accelerated western migration, carrying settlers who were mostly ranchers, farmers, and miners. Key figures in railroad expansion included Leland Stanford and Cornelius Vanderbilt. The Transcontinental Railroad, completed in 1869, connected the eastern and western United States and further improved travel westward. The Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged settlement of the Great Plains by offering free land. Four factors drew settlers to the central plains: the Homestead Act, fertile land, the steel plow, and flat terrain. However, this displaced Native Americans, leading to conflicts and wars as settlers took over indigenous lands.

Populism
The document defines several key terms related to populism and third parties in US history. It describes the Grange Movement which advocated for farmers' economic and political power. It also discusses the Munn v. Illinois Supreme Court case which allowed more state regulation of businesses like railroads. The Interstate Commerce Commission was created to regulate railroads and ensure fair rates. The Populist Party represented farmers in the 1890s advocating for issues like free silver coinage and controlling monopolies. William Jennings Bryan gave his famous "Cross of Gold" speech attacking the gold standard, and William McKinley later became president pursuing imperialist policies. Third parties aim to bring new voices and groups into politics and give expression to discontent with the two major

Industrialization & Gilded Age
This document defines key terms related to industrialization and the Gilded Age in the United States, including:
- The Bessemer Process which cheaply made steel starting in the 1850s, enabling the transcontinental railroad finished in 1869.
- Inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison who developed new technologies like the telephone and light bulb.
- The rise of large corporations, monopolies led by figures like John D. Rockefeller, and the social/economic tensions between the wealthy "Captains of Industry" and working classes.

Some of the major topics covered include JFK challenging Americans to serve their country, the space race and technology advances, the Cuban Missile Crisis, LBJ's Great Society programs, the growing civil rights and women's movements, student activism and counterculture trends, escalation of US involvement in Vietnam under both presidents, and the impact of media coverage of the war on public opinion.
16 wwi propaganda[1]
The document discusses various propaganda tools and techniques used during World War 1 to promote the war effort and demonize the enemy. These tools included emotional appeals by portraying the enemy as evil or a threat, using patriotic symbols to appeal to national pride, disseminating half-truths and misinformation to blame the enemy, coining catchy slogans, and employing evocative visual symbols. Propaganda also made use of humor and caricatures targeting the enemy. The goal of propaganda was to recruit soldiers, generate financial support, and unify public opinion behind the war effort.
Wwi
WWI began with US neutrality but eventually involved the US when German U-boats sank civilian ships like the Lusitania, killing Americans. Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare and the US learned of Germany trying to ally with Mexico against the US. In 1917, Wilson asked Congress to declare war. Over 2 million American troops fought alongside Allies in major battles in 1918, breaking the stalemate and forcing Germany to surrender in 1919. The resulting Treaty of Versailles held Germany responsible for the war and imposed penalties while creating a League of Nations.
Conflict with Native Americans
This document summarizes the conflicts between Native Americans and European settlers/Americans from the 15th century onwards. It discusses the different concepts of land ownership and government between Native Americans and settlers, which led to conflicts over land and treaties. It also notes the racism Native Americans faced from American politicians and military leaders. The effects on Native American tribes included the forced removal of tens of thousands from their ancestral lands onto crowded, unsanitary reservations with little economic opportunity. Even with the establishment of reservations, Native Americans continued to face challenges to their culture and livelihoods from westward expansion.
Beat the STAAR
The document provides tips for taking the STAAR test, which consists of 68 multiple choice questions across four categories: history, geography/culture, government/citizenship, and economics/science/technology/society. It recommends the E-R-A approach to answering questions: examine the question, recall what you know, and apply what you know. A practice question asks about the characteristics of muckrakers in the early 1900s, with the answer being that they exposed abuses in society and government. The document stresses the importance of learning what is needed to do well on the test over the next 10 weeks before retaking the STAAR.
Obama
Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, becoming the first black president in US history. He inherited ongoing wars and a struggling economy from George W. Bush's administration. During his presidency, Obama worked to reform healthcare, approved the mission that killed Osama bin Laden, and dealt with high national debt, though his full legacy is still to be determined.
Bush
The document summarizes key political events during the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. It discusses the 2000 election where Al Gore won the popular vote but George W. Bush secured more electoral votes and became president following a controversial recount in Florida. It also outlines the September 11th terrorist attacks, the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 seeking weapons of mass destruction though none were found, and debates around George W. Bush's legacy regarding the timing of 9/11 and necessity of the Iraq war.
Clinton
Bill Clinton defeated incumbent George H. W. Bush in the 1992 presidential election. During Clinton's presidency, the economy experienced strong growth with low unemployment and budget surpluses. However, Clinton was impeached in 1998 for lying about an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, although the Senate did not convict him.
Bush sr.
George H.W. Bush was elected president in 1988, becoming the first sitting vice president elected to the presidency since Martin Van Buren in 1836. During his one term as president, Bush oversaw Operation Desert Storm in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, launching a military campaign that successfully liberated Kuwait by February 1991 though Saddam Hussein remained in power in Iraq.
Reagan
The document discusses the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush from 1981 to 1993. It outlines some key accomplishments and controversies of Ronald Reagan's time as president, including working with Mikhail Gorbachev to help reform the Soviet Union, being re-elected in a landslide in 1984, and escalating defense spending. However, it also notes the Iran-Contra scandal and increase in the federal budget deficit under Reagan. The Challenger space shuttle disaster that occurred in 1986 is also mentioned.
Carter
Jimmy Carter served as president from 1977-1981. His presidency was challenged by economic struggles including an energy crisis and auto industry collapse. He also struggled to resolve international crises such as the Iran hostage crisis and Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. These issues contributed to Carter losing reelection in 1980 to Ronald Reagan.
Watergate notes
Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968 and re-elected in a landslide in 1972. However, in June 1972 five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate office complex. This began the Watergate scandal that eventually led to Nixon's resignation. Investigations by the Senate committee and a special prosecutor revealed Nixon's involvement in the cover-up of White House connections to the burglary. As more information came out through hearings and subpoenaed tapes, Nixon lost public and political support. He resigned in August 1974 before the House could impeach him to avoid almost certain removal from office.
1920s transition america notes
After World War I, America saw many transitions as it moved from a rural, agricultural society to a more urban, industrial one. There was a shift from isolationism to internationalism, as well as a transition from a cash economy to one fueled by consumer credit. Socially and culturally, the country struggled with clashes between rural, traditional conservatives and urban, liberal reformers over issues like prohibition, women's changing roles, and new social norms. While some embraced modern flappers and new opportunities, others reacted by trying to preserve older values and restrict immigration and dissent. Overall, the postwar period was one of significant change and conflict as America adjusted to its new place in the world.
1920s presidential leadership notes
Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke in 1919 that weakened him. His wife unofficially took over presidential duties until Wilson's death in 1924. Warren Harding won the 1920 election promising normalcy after World War I and Wilson's support for the failed League of Nations. Harding had some successes but many of his appointees engaged in corruption, damaging his reputation. Calvin Coolidge finished Harding's term and won election in 1924, but his laissez-faire policies failed to prevent economic problems that led to the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover was president from 1929-1933, but the stock market crash occurred 8 months into his term and his preference for individualism over government assistance exacerbated the Depression.
End of WWI
World War I ended in 1918 with Germany's surrender after facing troubles on the home front and with the entry of American troops. In 1919, the Allied Powers met at the Paris Peace Conference to determine the post-war settlement. The resulting Treaty of Versailles punished Germany by assigning war guilt, imposing reparations, taking territory, and limiting its military. However, the treaty was controversial and rejected in some countries, failing to achieve a lasting peace and sowing resentment in Germany that allowed Hitler to rise to power and start World War II.
Events to US Entry
Prior to entering World War I, the United States maintained an official policy of neutrality, though it had closer economic ties to the Allied forces. As the war continued, tensions rose due to attacks on U.S. merchant ships by German U-boats and the publication of the Zimmerman Telegram. Public opinion began to shift in favor of entering the war, and in April 1917 President Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war against Germany. U.S. involvement helped strengthen the Allies as Russia withdrew from the war, leaving the Western Front as Germany's sole battleground.

Homestead act
- 2. 2 American Progress Color Lithograph by George A. Crofutt and John Gast
- 3. 3 •Belief that the US should expand its territory from coast to coast
- 4. • Male citizens or men intending on becoming US citizens were granted land claims in 1862 if they were willing to develop the land • By the end of the Civil War, 15000 land claims were established • Many American poor hoped that this act would have been a new beginning but they did not have the resources to start farming • Did help impoverished farmers who could farm free land
- 5. • Much of the land went to speculators which sold the land for more than it was worth and to people who did not want the land for farming • Over time, industrialization would hit the west that would lead to a decline in small homesteads to the birth of large corporate farms
- 6. • Land (cheap and plentiful) • Riches (gold, silver, oil) • Freedom of religion/beliefs • Family connections • Jobs and new opportunities • Adventure • Maybe to find love
