The document discusses law and order in the American West during the late 19th century. It describes the various law enforcement roles like US Marshals, deputies, town marshals, and sheriffs who enforced federal and local laws. It also discusses vigilante groups and miners courts that dispensed justice when official law enforcement was absent. The document focuses on the Johnson County War, where powerful cattle barons in Wyoming brought in gunmen to attack small farmers they accused of cattle rustling, but the farmers fought back effectively. This marked a decline in the power of cattle barons and the end of the Wild West era.

Law And Order
Law and order problems in the early American West were caused by two overlapping systems of government and the rapid expansion and settlement of the region. Enforcement was difficult due to the vast distances, shortage of officers, and sometimes corrupt officials. Settlers sometimes took matters into their own hands through vigilante committees. Outlaws and disputes between ranchers and homesteaders also contributed to lawlessness. Eventually, as more territories became states, communication improved with the railroad and telegraph, and more permanent towns were established, law and order was established through the formal legal system.
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.
Slaves stono rebellion
On September 9, 1739, approximately 20 slaves led by Jemmy began a rebellion at the Stono Plantation in South Carolina. The slaves raided a store, stealing guns and ammunition. They then marched through the countryside, burning houses, killing over 20 white people and more than 40 black people, and recruiting additional slaves along the way. Their goal was to reach Spanish Florida to escape slavery. The rebellion was eventually put down by local planters at the Edis River, where most of the rebels were killed. In response, South Carolina imposed harsher punishments for future slave rebellions to discourage similar uprisings.
Stono Rebellion
The Stono Rebellion was a slave uprising that occurred in South Carolina in 1739. Led by a slave named Jemmy, around 20 slaves robbed an armory and began marching towards Florida under a banner that read "Liberty". They recruited around 60 more slaves along the way and killed approximately 25 white colonists. The rebellion was eventually defeated by South Carolina militia near the Edisto River, where around 20 whites and 60 slaves were killed. Many of the captured slaves were executed in response.
Unit 4, Lesson 6: Slavery
Slavery began in the American colonies in the early 1500s as the Portuguese began bringing African slaves to the Americas. By 1700, slavery had grown significantly in the southern colonies, where the agricultural economy relied heavily on slave labor. To maintain control over the growing slave population, colonial governments passed slave codes that severely restricted slaves' rights and movement. Throughout this period, slaves resisted their condition through acts like slow work, escape attempts, and occasional rebellions like the large Stono Rebellion in South Carolina in 1739. By the end of the American Civil War in 1865, slavery was abolished across the United States.
Unit 3, lesson 4
American Indians were forced off their lands through broken treaties, violence, and forced relocation. As European settlers moved west, they pushed Native Americans onto smaller portions of land, leading to conflicts. Both European countries and later the U.S. government signed over 400 treaties with tribes to acquire land, often negotiating with few tribal members and without tribes fully understanding. Notable events forcing relocation included the Trail of Tears, Sand Creek Massacre, and Wounded Knee Massacre, where hundreds of Native Americans were killed.
Unit 3, Lesson 6.pptx
Chief Tecumseh and other Native American leaders like Chief Little Turtle and Chief Logan struggled to defend Indian lands from encroachment by American settlers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Tecumseh sought to unite various tribes and rejected adopting white customs. He joined the British side during the War of 1812 but was killed in 1813. In the later 19th century, Lakota leaders like Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse resisted efforts by the U.S. government to seize tribal lands in the Black Hills, achieving victories like the Battle of Little Bighorn but ultimately being forced to reservations. Chief John Ross legally defended Cherokee land rights but President Andrew Jackson passed the Indian

Jamestown Powerpoint
The three ships that carried the first English colonists to Jamestown, Virginia in 1607 were the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery. The colonists faced many hardships when they arrived, as the site was located on marshland with brackish water. They struggled with disease, conflicts with native tribes like the Powhatan, and starvation during the harsh winter of 1609-1610 known as the "Starving Time". However, Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in North America and helped establish the 13 American colonies.
Slavery
The document provides information about slavery in the United States prior to the Civil War, including how Africans were brought to America through the slave trade, the conditions slaves faced, and efforts to resist slavery such as through the Underground Railroad which secretly transported escaped slaves to freedom. Obstacles an escaped slave may face in attempting to flee include recapture due to laws supporting slavery, separation from family and friends, lack of provisions or shelter, and risks of traveling at night such as exposure to weather or wild animals.
Unit 3, Lesson 5.ppt
Long before Europeans arrived, American Indian tribes fought each other for land and resources. This caused ongoing rivalries and tensions over hunting territories. When Europeans entered North America, they exacerbated these conflicts by trading weapons and horses to some tribes, giving them strategic advantages over others. This allowed certain tribes like the Iroquois, Ojibwa, and Lakota to push neighboring tribes off desired lands through periods of prolonged warfare. European involvement thus intensified and expanded the scale of existing land disputes between American Indian groups.
Westward expansion ppt
Between 1801 and 1861, the United States underwent vast territorial expansion and settlement through exploration, acquisition of new lands, and westward migration of Americans. Key events included the Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark Expedition, annexation of Texas, Oregon, and California, and the Gold Rush. Transportation innovations like steamboats and railroads facilitated westward movement. Native Americans resisted loss of their lands and were eventually forced onto reservations.
Causes of civil war power point
The document outlines many of the key causes that led to the outbreak of the Civil War, including:
1) Issues around the expansion of slavery into new territories like the Kansas-Nebraska Act and Dred Scott decision inflamed tensions between north and south by upsetting the balance of power between free and slave states.
2) Cultural differences between the largely agricultural slave-holding South and industrial non-slaveholding North grew over time on issues like states' rights and tariffs.
3) Events like John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry and the election of Abraham Lincoln, who southern states feared would end slavery, led southern states to secede from the Union and form the Confederate States of America.

Unit 4 notes 2
The document summarizes key events of the American West in the late 19th century. It discusses the assimilation of Native Americans through the Dawes Act, the near extinction of buffalo by fur traders, and the Wounded Knee massacre that ended the Indian wars. It also outlines how the transcontinental railroad and Homestead Act encouraged settlers to move west to farm the Great Plains, and mentions the hardships settlers faced including droughts, blizzards, and attacks while the frontier closed in the 1890s.
Unit 6: American Revolution
The document provides background information on the American Revolution from multiple perspectives. It discusses key terms, people, battles, strategies, and the advantages and disadvantages of the British and American forces. The summaries highlight the Northern Campaign from 1775-1776, the focus on New York and Pennsylvania from 1777-1778, and the Southern Strategy from 1780-1781. It also covers the turning point Battle of Saratoga, General Washington's crossing of the Delaware River, and Cornwallis' eventual surrender at Yorktown in 1781.
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.
Road To Civil War
The document outlines several key events that increased tensions between the northern and southern states and contributed to the start of the Civil War. It discusses the Three-Fifths Compromise, the cotton gin's impact on the slave economy, the Missouri Compromise, debates around tariffs and states' rights, the Nullification Crisis, the Nat Turner slave rebellion, and attempts to compromise on the status of slavery in the territories gained from Mexico. These events highlighted disagreements over the expansion of slavery and states' rights that further divided the north and south.
Gette bleeding kansas cpii 2010
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 proposed popular sovereignty to decide the issue of slavery in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, overturning the Missouri Compromise which had mandated they be free states. This led to violent clashes between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers trying to influence the vote, known as "Bleeding Kansas." Tensions escalated with attacks on settlers and the beating of Senator Sumner for his speech criticizing the Act.
Slavery, The "Peculiar Institution"
The document discusses the system of slavery in the Southern United States during the mid-19th century. Slavery varied significantly between states and slave owners, with slaves experiencing a wide range of treatment from cruel to more lenient. While conditions for some slaves were better than free industrial workers or peasants, slavery was an oppressive institution that denied slaves basic rights and subjected them to the threat of sale and family separation. Slaves resisted through various means including sabotage, revolts, and by maintaining their own cultural traditions in the face of the harsh realities of slave life.
Slavery
Slavery has existed for thousands of years and involved absolute control over slaves. It began as early as 8000BC in Egypt and continued in parts of Europe, Africa, and America for centuries. Slaves faced horrific conditions, with minimal food, clothing, and living spaces, and were subjected to brutal punishments. While slavery began to end in some areas in the 1700s-1800s, the practice persisted in parts of Africa into the 1900s and slaves endured unimaginable cruelty until being emancipated.
The jamestown colony
The King of England wanted to establish an American colony to increase England's wealth and power through trade and finding gold and silver. The Virginia Company founded Jamestown in 1607 as an economic venture, hoping to profit from exports of raw materials from the colony to England. The Powhatan people initially helped the settlers by trading food and introducing new crops, but tensions rose as the English settlement continued to grow and the Powhatans saw the colonists as invading their land. The system of government established at Jamestown was modeled after the English system and eventually became the Virginia House of Burgesses, the oldest legislative body in the Americas.
Virginia qu
The first English colony in North America was established in 1606 at Jamestown, Virginia by the London Company. The colony struggled with hardships like attacks from the native Algonquian people and famine during the harsh winters. John Smith provided strong leadership and helped the colony survive during this time. In 1619, the first African slaves arrived in Virginia to work on tobacco plantations, which became a major cash crop. The capital moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg in 1699 due to better defenses and sanitation. Virginia became a royal colony in 1624 and the 10th state to ratify the US Constitution.
Utah studies primary and secondary documents
The documents summarize the struggle between Mormons settlers in Utah and the U.S. government in the 1850s. When the Mormons first arrived in 1847, they established a large territory called Deseret, but this was reduced to Utah Territory by Congress. Tensions increased as the Republican party opposed both polygamy and slavery. In 1857, President Buchanan sent the U.S. Army to install a new territorial governor to assert federal control over the theodemocracy led by Brigham Young up to that point. Young ordered the Mormons to abandon Salt Lake City, but conflict was avoided. The Army was unable to establish a strong presence. While survival was difficult, the Mormons were experienced pioneers
Union vs confederacy
The document summarizes the balance of forces between the Union and Confederacy during the American Civil War. It notes that while the Confederacy was consistently outnumbered in terms of troops, they initially had more skilled officers and a defensive strategy. However, the Confederacy lacked factories and manufacturing capabilities, which became a major weakness as the war dragged on and supply problems increased. The border states that remained loyal to the Union, such as Kentucky and Missouri, were also strategically and economically important. The Union had advantages in established government and financial systems that helped support the war effort over the long term.
Differences Over Slavery
1) The spread of slavery became an issue when Missouri sought to enter the Union as a slave state, which would have given slave states more power than free states.
2) The Missouri Compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, dividing the country along the 36°30' parallel with slavery allowed below and forbidden above.
3) The Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise by organizing the territories of Kansas and Nebraska and allowing settlers there to determine through popular sovereignty if they would allow slavery, resulting in violent conflict between pro- and anti-slavery settlers in "Bleeding Kansas" from 1854-1856.
Unit 3, Lesson 6
This document discusses the key leaders in the struggle for American Indian lands between the late 18th century and late 19th century. It outlines leaders who fought for Native American rights, such as Tecumseh who united tribes to defend their lands, and Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse who led resistance against U.S. seizure of the Black Hills. It also discusses pro-Native leaders like John Ross who defended Cherokee land rights in court. Meanwhile, President Andrew Jackson supported the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that displaced many Native Americans. Overall, the document provides a history of the leadership and events on both sides during the long-running conflict over ownership of Native American territories.
GCSE HISTORY American West Revision
The document provides details about the development of cattle ranching on the Great Plains of North America, including:
- Cattle ranching originated in Texas in the 1820s-1830s and was primarily run by Mexican cowboys.
- The railroad industry was critical to the expansion of cattle ranching, as it allowed cattle to be transported to new markets.
- Key figures like Charles Goodnight helped pioneer cattle trails and drives to expand the industry onto more of the Great Plains.
- By the 1880s, overgrazing and drought led to the decline of open range ranching practices.
Cowboys And Cattlemen
The early cattle trade in Texas grew out of large herds of unbranded longhorn cattle after the region became part of the US in 1845. As the railroad expanded following the Civil War, cattle were driven hundreds of miles north on long trails to railheads, where they could fetch higher prices and be transported east. This drove the establishment of cow towns along the trails. However, by the 1880s the open range cattle industry declined due to overgrazing of lands and severe winters, marking the end of the large-scale cattle drives.
S.889 Power Point Embedded
S.889 proposes solutions to bring law and order to the chaotic dairy industry, including establishing a non-corrupt price discovery process based on national average cost of production data, incentivizing processors to curb imports when there is oversupply, and giving farmers tools to reduce supply and avoid milk price disasters. It would help rebalance profits between farmers and large food companies and provide stability for both domestic supply and demand. The legislation aims to adapt dairy farming to globalization in a sustainable way.

Why Was Law And Order A Problem In
This document discusses law and order problems in the American West, including different types of crimes commonly committed like bank robbery, cattle rustling, and horse stealing. It examines the weaknesses of the official law enforcement forces and debates whether vigilantes were a positive or negative force, listing both the good and bad impacts of their actions. The learning objectives are to understand the crimes, why they were committed, and to assess the effectiveness of vigilantes in establishing law and order in the West.
Law and order has become a big challenge
Law and order issues are a major problem in Pakistan that have challenged the country throughout its history. The laws and constitution contain civil laws and procedures for law enforcement, but implementation has been lacking. Some reforms are needed, such as increasing punishments and removing political intervention in legal matters. Improving the law and order situation could lead to more stable politics and economy in Pakistan.

The document discusses the reasons for and impacts of western expansion and settlement of the Great Plains in the United States during the late 19th century. It describes how the Homestead Acts of 1862 and later acts aimed to encourage migration to the Plains by offering settlers free land if they lived on and improved it for a period of years. The railroad companies also promoted settlement to increase passenger and freight traffic on their newly built transcontinental lines across the Plains. As a result of these policies and promotions, over 2.5 million acres were claimed and millions of settlers moved West, transforming the Plains.
Homesteaders Living On The Plains
The document summarizes some of the challenges faced by homesteaders living on the Great Plains in the late 19th century, including building houses from sod, maintaining health with limited resources, enduring extreme weather, a lack of fuel and water, isolation, and potential conflicts with Native Americans. Homesteaders worked to overcome these difficulties through communal support and by adapting practices from the indigenous peoples.
Law & order
The document discusses different perspectives on law and order policy in the UK, including liberal, authoritarian, Conservative, and Labour approaches. It outlines that historically Conservatives were seen as tougher on crime but since the 1990s both major parties have adopted increasingly authoritarian stances to "out tough" each other. While they agree on tougher policing and criminal justice policies, there are some divisions around balancing punishment with addressing social causes of crime and potential civil liberties infringements.
law and order
This document discusses the issue of law and order in Pakistan. It notes that law and order has been a longstanding challenge for Pakistan, with governments formulating norms but lacking implementation. It highlights specific problems like terrorists being arrested but not sentenced due to lack of evidence, corruption in law enforcement agencies, and a slow prosecution system. Proposed solutions include renewing laws with stricter punishments, increasing wages for police and paramilitary forces, establishing effective policing, and making the judicial system more efficient.
Push pull factors
Push factors that caused people to leave their homes included overcrowding, lack of jobs, and religious repression, while pull factors attracting people to new places included cheap and abundant land, opportunities for riches, freedom of religion, family connections, jobs, adventure, and even finding love. Many people moved west in the 1800s due to the philosophy of Manifest Destiny and promises of a new life, traveling by stagecoach, wagon, horseback or even walking, often lured by incentives from the U.S. government like the Homestead and Pacific Railways Acts.
Migration And Push Pull Factors
- The document discusses migration push and pull factors, with push factors being reasons people leave an area like lack of services or poverty, and pull factors being reasons people move to a new area like higher employment or better services.
- It also addresses population growth issues in LEDCs, noting high birth rates balanced by high death rates in Stage 2 of the demographic transition model. Urbanization is increasing in LEDCs due to migration, high birth rates, and declining death rates.
PUSH AND PULL FACTORS
This document discusses push and pull factors that influence migration. Push factors push people away from an area, such as poverty, famine, war, lack of jobs or opportunities. Pull factors attract people to a new area, like higher income potential, better services, political stability, or religious tolerance. The document provides examples of common push factors like unemployment or crime that might drive emigration from a city or country. Pull factors that might draw immigrants include job opportunities, economic growth, peace, and anti-discrimination laws. In conclusion, underdeveloped countries often experience push factors like economic problems that cause people to relocate to developed nations with pull factors offering greater prospects.

Peasants Revolt Causes & Events
The document discusses reasons for the Peasants' Revolt in 1381 in England. Long-term causes included peasants being bound as villeins and having to work for free on church land. Short-term triggers included the poll tax of 1381, which angered peasants as it taxed them the same as the rich. The final straw was tax collectors mistreating villagers who refused to pay. The document tasks the student with writing a report to King Richard II explaining why the peasants revolted, citing both long-term and short-term reasons in order of importance.

They are prompted to consider how powerful the church was and the extent of its influence, and to analyze a doom painting depicting the afterlife.
Becket
Thomas Becket, who was once friends with King Henry II, became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1161. Tensions grew between them as Becket took his religious duties seriously while Henry wanted to assert more control over the church. This culminated in Becket fleeing England after disagreeing with Henry's Constitutions of Clarendon. Though they reconciled briefly, Becket excommunicated bishops allied with Henry upon his return, angering the king.

Students are tasked with reviewing sources about Haig's expectations and plans for the first day of the battle against what actually occurred, and coming to a conclusion about whether Haig deserves criticism for his generalship during the Somme offensive.
Whowentwest
The document discusses the motives and groups of people who settled the American West in the 1840s. It focuses on explaining the roles of mountain men in pioneering the frontier. Mountain men were early explorers and fur traders who helped open up the West and played an important role in the settlement of the region. Their daily lives were difficult but they blazed trails and traded with Native Americans, influencing the development of the West.
Who Were The Plains Indians
The Plains Indians originally migrated to North America from Asia during the Ice Age. They lived on the edges of the Great Plains, which were inhabited only by buffalo. Three key factors in the 16th-17th centuries caused tribes to move fully onto the Great Plains: the acquisition of horses allowed greater mobility; guns unbalanced power dynamics and caused tribes like the Sioux to flee; and diseases brought by Europeans wiped out many settlements, making the Plains a refuge.
