The United States established an empire through conquest and annexation from the Caribbean to the Pacific similar to European imperialism in Africa and Asia during the same time period. While some argue the US did not have true imperialism, it grew its control over territories with the goal of transforming societies into the American model and granting self-governance, though the definition and intentions of American expansion are still debated.

Imperialism
The document discusses American imperialism compared to other imperial powers. It notes that while the US expanded its influence and control over territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines, and Hawaii between 1803 and 1853, Americans often deny that the US engaged in imperialism. The document also provides details on US colonial rule of the Philippines, including the US annexation of the islands after the 1898 Treaty of Paris and the subsequent Philippine-American War from 1899 to 1902.
Imperialism
After conquering western territories, the United States began expanding outward during the second phase of European imperialism in the late 19th century. The US acquired territories like the Virgin Islands, Hawaii, and the Philippines through war, purchase and annexation, similarly to how European powers occupied parts of Africa and Asia. The US war in the Philippines closely resembled Britain's war in South Africa, as both aimed to spread Christianity, social Darwinism, and civilization. While the US committed to republican institutions in its territories unlike Europe, it was also hesitant to keep colonies long-term due to its own history, though more intent on cultural assimilation than Britain.

Thomas Jefferson's presidency ushered in a new era of American politics characterized by the emergence of political parties. As a Democratic-Republican, Jefferson believed in limited government and giving power to ordinary citizens rather than an elite ruling class. His election in 1800 marked the first peaceful transfer of power between political parties in the U.S. and established the long-lasting Democratic-Republican and Federalist party system. Key events of Jefferson's presidency included the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the U.S., and the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore this new territory.

Patriots
The Patriots were the Americans who rebelled against British control during the American Revolutionary War in the late 1700s. They declared independence from Britain in 1776 and used the slogan "No Taxation without Representation" to protest unfair taxation by the British Parliament. Famous Patriots included Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, George Washington, the commander of American forces, and Benjamin Franklin, who helped organize the Continental Congress and negotiate the peace treaty after the war. Though at a disadvantage, the Patriots ultimately prevailed against the British and won independence for the United States.

It discusses the context around American expansionism following the War of 1812 and Latin American revolutions for independence from Spain. It outlines how Andrew Jackson's invasion of Spanish Florida raised tensions, and how Secretary of State John Quincy Adams' aggressive negotiation led to Spain ceding East Florida and relinquishing claims to Oregon territory in exchange for the US abandoning claims to Texas and paying Spain. The treaty established the US-Mexico border and had lasting effects.
Haiti - RR
The U.S. occupied Haiti from 1915 to 1934, initially sending 300 Marines to Port-au-Prince to protect American business interests. The occupation led to anti-American revolts and political instability, with various leaders being assassinated. Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam established a dictatorship during this time but was later lynched by an assimilated mob. Philippe Sudré Dartiguenave became president under the new U.S.-backed government after Sam's death. Writer Jean Price-Mars criticized the Haitian elite for not helping the poor masses and wanted liberation from colonial powers like France.

Nationalism and federalism
The Era of Good Feelings saw a rise in nationalism and a decrease in partisan politics as the Federalist party collapsed. Nationalism focused on expanding US territory and securing borders through treaties like the Adams-Onis Treaty and the Rush-Bagot Treaty. However, the Missouri Compromise showed tensions between nationalism and federalism, as the admission of Missouri as a slave state threatened the balance of power between free and slave states.
Manifest Destiny
1) Manifest Destiny referred to the belief that American expansion westward across North America was both justified and inevitable due to its exceptional values and democratic principles.
2) The United States acquired large territories through treaties and annexation in the first half of the 19th century, including the Louisiana Purchase and annexation of Texas, intensifying sectional tensions over the expansion of slavery.
3) The Mexican-American War broke out in 1846 over a border dispute in Texas, resulting in the U.S. acquiring vast new territories in the West, including California and New Mexico, through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

I 5 the red scare
Senator Joseph McCarthy led the Red Scare in the late 1940s and early 1950s, claiming to have a list of 205 communists in the US State Department. He used his position as head of the House Committee on Un-American Activities to investigate many Americans for being communists. This period saw violations of civil liberties as the government detained and interrogated many suspected of communist sympathies. Notable events included the convictions and executions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for spying and an attempt on President Truman's life that led to the 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two terms.
Declaration Of Independence
The document summarizes key events and people related to the creation and signing of the Declaration of Independence:
1) Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence at the Graff House in June 1776 to declare the 13 colonies independent from Great Britain.

3) Important figures involved included Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Hancock, the first to sign the document.
Civil war presentation
The Civil War began as tensions grew between slave states and free states over the issues of states' rights and the expansion of slavery into new territories. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 triggered seven Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America. While the Confederacy had advantages early in the war due to leadership, the Union had greater industrial and population resources that helped turn the tide with tactics like total war and trench warfare, culminating in General Lee's surrender to Grant in 1865.

Key events discussed include the Spanish-American War, conflicts in Cuba, the Philippines, China, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.
America Compared
Historian Frederick Jackson Turner argued that conquering and settling the West shaped the unique American character by fostering traits like individualism, practicality, and democracy as settlers survived in the wilderness against others. Between the Civil War and 1900, Americans moved west of the Mississippi River to establish farms, ranches, towns, and mines, displacing Native Americans who were confined to reservations, unable to return to their original way of life. Canada also expanded into indigenous lands during this period.

Business
America rapidly industrialized between the Civil War and 1900, becoming the world's leading manufacturing power through its natural resources, investment capital from Europe, large domestic market, and cheap immigrant labor. The growth of large corporations like U.S. Steel, which was capitalized at $1.4 billion and employed over 100,000 workers, demonstrated America's new industrial might on a massive scale. Between the 1850s and early 20th century, the U.S. transitioned from small textile mills to giant corporations driving expanded industrialization across the country.

California
California has a long history of connections to the military and wartime activity. The U.S. military governed California after seizing it from Mexico in 1846 and maintained important naval shipyards and army outposts throughout the 19th century. During World Wars I and II, California became a major center for military activity, with the expansion of bases, aircraft production, and the internment of Japanese Americans in the 1940s under military order. War and the military played a significant role in California's history over the 19th and 20th centuries.
The Great Depression
The Great Depression began with the stock market crash of October 1929, known as "Black Tuesday", and lasted throughout the 1930s. Banks failed, production was cut in half, and over 13 million Americans lost their jobs. Most countries hit economic bottom by 1933, though the slump lasted until World War II began in 1939. During this time, Western democracies increased government programs to provide jobs and relief, while authoritarian governments in Germany, Italy, and Japan took control amid the turmoil.
War & Peace
The United States established an empire through conquest and annexation from the Caribbean to the Pacific similar to European imperialism in Africa and Asia during the same time period. While some argue the US did not have true imperialism, it grew its territory and influence overseas from pre-Civil War expansion based on an idea of spreading American ideals and values to other societies to qualify them for self-governance or statehood. However, the nature and pace of independence for territories like the Philippines remained debated.

Unit iii
Following the Civil War and Reconstruction, the US pursued an isolationist foreign policy of avoiding international involvement. Meanwhile, European powers aggressively expanded their colonial empires in Africa and Asia for trade, strategic reasons, nationalism, and beliefs in their racial superiority. By the 1890s, increasing American business interests abroad and the threat of being excluded from overseas markets and resources convinced the US to abandon isolationism. The influential ideas of naval strategist Alfred Mahan and rising Anglo-Saxonism further persuaded the US to begin constructing a modern navy and seizing colonial territories, starting with Hawaii, to establish itself as a world power alongside the European empires.
