Intro to the American Dream
The American Dream is explored through a visual essay depicting iconic images that represent the settlement and expansion of America, from the landing of the Pilgrims to the development of the West and suburbs. Key themes shown include the pursuit of freedom and opportunity through westward expansion, immigration to find a new life, and achieving prosperity through home ownership in the growing post-war suburbs.
4.1 Miners and cowboys in the west
Miners and ranchers helped build the American West in the late 19th century. Miners flocked to locations where gold and silver were discovered, creating boomtowns like Virginia City, Nevada and Colorado mining towns. Ranchers drove cattle on long trails from Texas to railroads in Kansas, establishing the cowboy culture and cattle drives along trails like the Chisholm Trail. The invention of barbed wire by Joseph Glidden ended the open range by allowing farmers to fence off their land, changing the cattle industry.
Immigration
Between 1870 and 1920, around 20 million immigrants arrived in the United States from Europe, Asia, the West Indies, and Mexico. Many Europeans escaped religious persecution or sought independence and jobs, while Chinese often sought their fortune in the Gold Rush. Immigrants arrived by steamship in New York or San Francisco and had to pass physical exams and document inspections. However, nativism against immigrants was common, especially Catholics, Jews, Irish, Chinese and other Asian groups. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned Chinese immigrant workers.
South La Project
South Central Los Angeles has a history dating back to the 1880s when USC opened and Watts was established in 1912. It experienced major growth in the 1940s with jobs opening up at plants like Chrysler which attracted African American migrants. This led to a jazz and R&B music scene but also the emergence of gangs. The Watts Riots in 1965 and Rodney King Riots in 1992 were defining civil unrest events in the area's history marked by social and economic challenges.
Colonial Leader[1]
John White was an English artist and colonial leader who helped establish the Roanoke colony in the late 1500s. As the colony's governor, he left for England to get supplies but was unable to return for three years, finding the colony abandoned upon his return. Known as the "Lost Colony", John White played a key role in some of the earliest English colonial efforts in North America.
Closing The Western Frontier
The document summarizes the closing of the Western frontier in the United States between 1860-1900. It discusses the many groups that were involved including Native Americans, miners, cattlemen, farmers, railroads, and the U.S. government. It also describes some of the key events like the building of the transcontinental railroad, the cattle drives, conflicts over land use, and battles between the U.S. army and Plains Indians as Native lands were increasingly encroached upon.
Lost colony
Sir Walter Raleigh was granted a charter by Queen Elizabeth I to establish an English colony in North America, known as the Lost Colony. The first expedition led by Amadas and Barlowe explored the area, meeting friendly native Secotans and Croatans as well as hostile Aquascogoc. Later expeditions arrived to reinforce the dwindling population, but they went missing, possibly due to war with local tribes. When governor White returned to England for help, his voyage back was delayed by war. Upon his return, he found the Roanoke colony missing, unable to search due to a storm.

The Under Ground Railroad
The document summarizes key aspects of the Underground Railroad, which was a network that helped enslaved African Americans escape from southern states to freedom in the North and Canada between the 18th and 19th centuries. It describes how difficult and dangerous it was for slaves to escape, but that with the help of abolitionists, an estimated 100,000 slaves reached freedom this way before the end of the Civil War and abolition of slavery in 1865. Famous figures like Harriet Tubman played important roles in guiding slaves to freedom through the Underground Railroad.
1920s
The Wall Street bombing in 1920 killed 38 people and injured 400 when a horse-drawn wagon containing 100 pounds of dynamite exploded in a busy financial district of New York City. A small group of Italian anarchists were suspected but never charged due to a lack of evidence. The bombing led to renewed investigations into foreign radical groups and the development of the U.S. Justice Department's early domestic intelligence division.
The old west
This document summarizes key groups and events related to the settlement of the American West between 1850-1900. It describes the miners who migrated west during the gold rush and discusses the expansion of the railroad. Native Americans faced declining buffalo populations, conflicts with settlers over land, and forced relocation to reservations. Cowboys worked on ranches during the rise of the cattle industry. Pioneer farmers settled the plains with support from homestead acts but faced challenges of the environment. The document outlines tensions between competing groups and the establishment of policies that shaped the development of the Western frontier.
The Lost Colony of Roanoke
The English made two attempts to settle Roanoke Island off the coast of what is now North Carolina in the late 16th century. The first colony failed and the settlers returned to England. The second colony, established in 1587, mysteriously disappeared. When supply ship captain John White returned from England a few years later, he found the colony abandoned with no signs of what happened to the approximately 90 men, 17 women, and 9 children. The only clues were the letters "CRO" carved into a tree and "CROATAN" carved into a post, but the fate of the "Lost Colony" remains a mystery.
Roanoke colony and bodie island

It also outlines plans to visit sites related to the Lost Colony, such as Fort Raleigh National Historic Park and a play about the colony.
Canada's Underground Railroad Connection
This document discusses the Underground Railroad which helped slaves escape to freedom in Canada. It provides details on conductors like Harriet Tubman and Laura Haviland who led slaves north. Songs and codes helped slaves communicate and navigate their journey. Destinations in Canada like Wilberforce provided refuge where blacks were legally free. The stricter Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 made helping slaves even more dangerous but also more vital to reach Canada's freedom. Quilts and other objects sometimes left coded messages to guide slaves north on the Underground Railroad.
Roanoke "The Lost Colony"
The document provides details about the lost Roanoke colony from 1584-1590. It summarizes that Sir Walter Raleigh sent explorers who first encountered Roanoke Island in 1584. Two failed attempts were made to establish colonies there in 1585-1586 and 1587. The second group included Virginia Dare, the first English child born in America. However, when their leader John White returned from a supply trip to England in 1590, he found the colony abandoned with no clues as to what became of the settlers. There are several theories but no conclusive evidence to explain the mystery of the lost colony's fate.
Lecture 2 Indentured Vs Slavery
Slavery was first introduced to the Americas by the Spanish after Columbus' discovery, as enslaved indigenous people began dying off. In 1619, the first recorded African slaves arrived in the Jamestown settlement, consisting of only 20 people. Initially, indentured servitude was used as the main labor force in the colonies. However, after Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 which involved former indentured servants, plantation owners began replacing indentured servants with slaves, seeing it as a more profitable long-term investment. As the slave population grew, slave revolts increased, leading plantation owners to implement stricter slave codes and laws to control the slave population.
Roanoke, The lost colony
Queen Elizabeth I gave Sir Walter Raleigh permission to establish the Roanoke colony in North America in 1585. The first group of 100 settlers struggled due to lack of supplies and Indian attacks, returning to England. In 1587, Raleigh sent another group led by John White, but White had to return to England for supplies, leaving the colony deserted with just the word "Croatoan" carved as a clue. The Roanoke colony ultimately failed due to lack of planning, supplies, and people to defend against enemy attacks and storms.
California ppt
California led the way in many technological advancements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including developing the Pelton turbine which brought hydroelectric power to the state. The state also pioneered vacuum tube technology, flight and aviation, with the Montgomery brothers making the first powered flight in 1883. California shaped aviation and many famous aviation companies like Lockheed were founded there. The state also led in fields like astronomy, electronics, and biotechnology with inventions like the cyclotron and developments in semiconductors and the internet. California similarly shaped arts and culture, becoming the epicenter of the film industry and home to many famous writers that captured the state's natural beauty and social themes in their work.

California
California's economy was never fully dependent on one source of income. It developed industrially, agriculturally, and through the entertainment industry and tourism. The state was slower to be impacted by the Great Depression due to this diversification. Labor unions started forming in 1859 to protect workers' rights, though they were often viewed with suspicion. The agriculture industry collapsed in 1870, leaving many unemployed for five years. The film industry grew in Los Angeles in the early 20th century due to preferable weather conditions compared to the East Coast. Music genres like jazz, pop, and country also developed distinct audiences in California.
California a history[1]
James Marshall found gold at Sutter's Mill on January 24, 1848, sparking the California Gold Rush. Thousands of people from around the world migrated to California seeking gold over the next few years, with most taking one of three routes: overland, by ship via Panama, or by ship around Cape Horn. The gold fields in the Sierra Nevada foothills, known as the "mother lode," stretched for over 200 miles and initially belonged to whoever could find it. The first transcontinental railroad in the United States was completed in 1869, connecting Sacramento to Omaha.

Art on the Mountain
Mt. McGregor in upstate New York has a long legacy as a destination for artists, dating back to the late 1800s. Inspired by the natural beauty of the mountain, art galleries and colonies were established there to showcase works by Hudson River School and other prominent American artists. In 1885, the critically ill Ulysses S. Grant spent his final weeks at a cottage on Mt. McGregor, working on his memoirs. In the decades since, additional artists have depicted Grant's cottage and the surrounding area, helping to memorialize Grant and establish Mt. McGregor as an ongoing source of artistic inspiration.
California[1]
California has a long history of diversity, beginning with the Native Americans who lived there for centuries prior to European settlement. When the Spanish first arrived in the 16th century, they encountered the indigenous populations and initially believed California was an island inhabited by black Amazons. Over subsequent centuries, California attracted immigrants from around the world, including Mexico, Latin America, Asia, the Dust Bowl states, and refugees fleeing places like Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. By the 1990s and 2000s, census data showed minorities had become the majority in California, with the largest ethnic groups being Hispanic, Caucasian, and Asian.
Historic photos of the old west,ppss
Timothy O'Sullivan was a pioneering American photographer in the 1860s-70s who worked for the US government to document the American West. He took realistic, unromanticized photos that depicted the landscapes, indigenous peoples, and mining towns he encountered. Rather than stage photos, O'Sullivan captured everyday life, from Native Americans in traditional and modern dress to settlers in mining towns. His photos gave Eastern audiences a glimpse of the vast, untamed West and helped shape popular conceptions of that time and place.

California
In mid-1850s, riots broke out in California when the sheriff sought to evict squatters from land claimed by John Sutter.

Beginning in the 1840s, Richmond dominated the exportation of enslaved people from Virginia with traders selling approximately one-half million people total over the decades. The largest traders operated jails and markets in Shockoe Bottom to facilitate these sales and temporary housing of slaves before transport.

The document discusses westward expansion in the United States following the Civil War. It describes how the 1862 Homestead Act encouraged settlement by offering citizens parcels of free or low-cost land. The transcontinental railroad network expanded rapidly in the late 1800s, opening up the West to greater development. Cattle ranching became a major industry, with longhorn cattle driven north on trails like the Chisholm Trail to railheads and markets. Conflict increased with Plains Indians as settlers and the army seized more land, culminating in the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 that marked the end of the Plains Indian way of life.
Paintings of the West - Albert Bierstadt
Albert Bierstadt was a German-born painter who traveled to the American West in 1859 with the intention of studying the scenery and Indian life to create a series of large landscape paintings. Captivated by the West, he returned numerous times throughout his life and even settled in California for two years. Bierstadt's paintings often depicted the uncharted Western territory during a time of Manifest Destiny and the settling of the region.
