Hogan's History- American Imperialism [Updated 13 Apr 2015]
The document discusses American imperialism following the Spanish-American War of 1898. Key reasons for American imperialism included acquiring new territory, finding new markets for economic growth, national security concerns, and maintaining national pride. The war resulted in the U.S. gaining control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from Spain in addition to freeing Cuba from Spanish rule, making the U.S. an imperial power for the first time.
Lecture on Industrial america
By 1900, the U.S. had emerged as the world's leading industrial power due to its abundant natural resources, growing labor supply through immigration, capital investments, technological innovations, and business-friendly government policies. Wealthy industrialists and entrepreneurs like Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, and Ford built vast industrial empires in steel, oil, banking, and automobiles through practices like vertical integration and trusts that eliminated competition. New technologies revolutionized areas like transportation, communication, manufacturing, and daily life. However, concerns grew about the power of large trusts and monopolies as well as wealth inequality between the rich industrialists and the working class.
European exploration
This presentation covers Virginia SOL USI,4a, which is European exploration. The student will demonstrate knowledge of European explorations in North America and West Africa by describing the motivations for, obstacles to, and accomplishments of the Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English explorations.
Lewis And Clark
The Lewis and Clark expedition from 1804 to 1806 was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the territory acquired in the Louisiana Purchase and establish trade relations with Native American tribes. Led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the expedition traveled up the Missouri River, over the Continental Divide, and followed the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. Notable members included the Shoshone interpreter Sacagawea and her infant son. The expedition successfully mapped the territory, documented plant and animal discoveries, and established friendly contacts with tribes, accomplishing President Jefferson's goals of exploring and understanding the new western lands.
Reconstruction in the South (US History)
This document discusses the term "carpetbaggers", which referred to Northerners who migrated South after the Civil War. It provides information on their various motives, including seeking power, opportunity, wealth, and educating freed slaves. Carpetbaggers joined with Southern Republicans ("scalawags") and freedmen in the Republican coalition that governed during Reconstruction. However, their rule faced resistance from Southern whites, including the first Ku Klux Klan. The rise of the second KKK in the 1920s was influenced by the film Birth of a Nation, which glorified the first KKK and opposition to Reconstruction. Ultimately, "Redeemer" Democratic governments reasserted control in the South after the Comp
Indian Removal Power Point
After settlers moved into Native American lands following the American Revolution, conflict arose between settlers and the Cherokee and Creek tribes located in Georgia. The Cherokee adapted more to white culture than other tribes, living in houses, farming, and owning slaves. In the 1820s, gold was discovered on Cherokee land, attracting over 10,000 settlers. Georgia then passed laws denying Cherokee rights to their lands. This led to the Cherokee's forced removal to Oklahoma along the "Trail of Tears" in 1838, despite the objections of Cherokee leader John Ross.
Jacksonian Democracy Presentation
Andrew Jackson was the 7th US President known for expanding executive power and populism. Under Jackson, the "spoils system" rewarded political supporters with government jobs. He also faced the Nullification Crisis over high tariffs, threatening force against states trying to nullify federal law. Jackson aggressively pursued the forced removal of Native Americans, like the Trail of Tears, to gain more land. His actions increased presidential authority and aligned the government more with common voters over elites.
Gold Rush Powerpoint
The document summarizes the origins and spread of the California Gold Rush in the late 1840s. It discusses how Lewis and Clark's expedition in 1804-1806 helped promote westward expansion. In 1848, gold was discovered in California, sparking the Gold Rush as thousands traveled there seeking fortune. There were three main routes for prospectors to take - overland across the plains, by ship around South America, or a mixed water and land route through Panama. Each route had advantages and challenges to consider.

The age-of-exploration
The Age of Exploration was driven by improvements in sailing technology and the policy of mercantilism. Europeans began extensively exploring and colonizing other parts of the world. Key explorers included Bartolomeu Dias, who sailed around the Cape of Good Hope; Vasco da Gama, who found the trade route to India by sea; Ferdinand Magellan, whose crew completed the first circumnavigation of the globe; Christopher Columbus, who sought a western route to Asia but found the Americas instead, launching the massive Columbian Exchange of plants, animals, and diseases between the hemispheres; and the establishment of the triangular trade route between Europe, Africa, and the Americas, which centered on the slave trade.
Haitian Revolution
- The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 as a slave rebellion against French colonial rule led by Toussaint L'Ouverture. It proved highly successful, overthrowing the brutal slave system and establishing the first black republic in 1804.
- However, Haiti's victory came at great cost after years of war. The country was left with a devastated agriculture system, no formal economy or education, and deep instability that allowed dictatorial rule.
- While Haiti achieved the remarkable feat of being the first free black nation in the Americas, independence did not solve the challenges of development under such dire conditions from the revolution.
Maya, Aztec, and Inca
The document provides information about three ancient civilizations - the Maya, Aztec, and Inca. It describes the locations and key features of each, including their religious practices, advances in mathematics and architecture, and their eventual declines. The Maya built cities like Chichen Itza in Mexico and Central America and developed hieroglyphic writing and a calendar. The Aztecs established the city of Tenochtitlan in Mexico and had an empire centered around religious practices like human sacrifice. The Inca ruled from Cuzco in the Andes and built elaborate stone structures and roads while practicing rituals like cranial deformation.
Utopian Communities
This document summarizes several 19th century American utopian communities:
New Harmony, Indiana was founded in 1825 by Robert Owen with the goal of communal living and equality, but dissolved in 1827 due to conflict. Brook Farm, Massachusetts was started in 1841 by Transcendentalists seeking truth and cooperation, but collapsed in debt in 1846 after a fire. The Oneida Community in New York practiced complex marriage and eugenics from 1848-1879 before becoming a successful silverware company. The Shakers, founded in the 1700s, believed in simplicity, segregated sexes, and have nearly gone extinct due to their celibacy.
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. Critics argued that this expansion displaced Native Americans and was often justified through racist ideologies.
1920s Lecture 2 Harding And Coolidge
The document provides background information on the presidential elections of 1920 and 1924. It discusses the aftermath of WWI and President Wilson's health issues, as well as the campaigns and policies of Republican candidates Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. Harding promoted a "Return to Normalcy" and pursued pro-business, limited government policies. However, his presidency was plagued by scandals. Coolidge succeeded Harding and restored integrity to the office while also limiting regulations and promoting business interests. He decided not to run for re-election in 1928, surprising the nation.
The 2nd Great Awakening
The Second Great Awakening from the late 1820s to 1830s was a religious revival in the United States that stressed the need to revive churches. It was fueled by other religions like Deism and spread through traveling preachers and large revival meetings that could last for days. Key figures like Charles Finney developed practices still used today, while William Miller founded the Millerites and Joseph Smith founded Mormonism, creating new denominations, as Baptists and Methodists also saw increased membership during this period of religious awakening and social reform.
The Gilded Age, an overview
The Gilded Age saw immense industrial growth fueled by new technologies, abundant resources, and massive immigration. This led to huge fortunes for industrialists but also harsh working conditions and inequality. As cities grew rapidly, political machines consolidated power while corruption and poor living standards plagued urban immigrants and workers. On farms, overproduction caused economic hardship. The post-Civil War South saw some economic development but blacks faced increasing segregation and loss of civil rights under Jim Crow. Responses to these challenges included labor organizing, populism, and differing philosophies within the black community.
Federalists vs. anti federalists
The document outlines the key differences between Federalists and Anti-Federalists during the debate over ratifying the US Constitution. Anti-Federalists opposed ratifying the Constitution as written and argued that the new national government would be too large and distant, could grow into a tyranny, and gave too much power to the central government and executive branch. Federalists supported ratifying the Constitution and countered that a central government with checks and balances could effectively govern the large nation and would not become a tyranny due to the separation of powers between branches of government.
The Mayan Civilization
The Maya people used a written language and a numeral system. They were good at art, building, and math. Their priests studied stars and planets, which helped them make calendars. The Maya civilization was biggest between the years of 420 AD and 900 AD.
Westward Expansion & The Gilded Age
The document discusses westward expansion and the conflicts that arose between white settlers and Native American tribes on the Great Plains. It describes how tribes like the Sioux inhabited and roamed the plains, claiming the land as their hunting grounds. However, the increasing number of white settlers traveling west on the Oregon Trail, the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, the Homestead Act encouraging further settlement, and the discovery of gold and other resources led to more conflicts over land with Native Americans and a series of Indian Wars. The Wounded Knee massacre in 1891 marked one of the final major conflicts as tribes were increasingly confined to reservations.
American Revolution
The document summarizes key events and concepts around the American Revolution, including the taxation of the 13 colonies by Britain to repay war debts, the growing anger of colonists which led to the start of the war, and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th 1776 which declared independence from Britain and established inalienable rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Gold rush presentation 1
The document summarizes the events leading up to and during the California Gold Rush. It discusses how gold was discovered by James Marshall in 1848, sparking a massive migration to California by people from around the world hoping to strike it rich. This influx of people transformed California from a sparsely populated Mexican territory to a boom state and major economic player within just a few years. While some miners did become wealthy, many found only poverty and hardship, with violence sometimes breaking out among competing groups of miners. The Gold Rush cemented California's status and reputation as the "Golden State."

23.4 expansion of the united states
The United States followed a policy of expansionism in the 1800s, adding vast territories like the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the nation's size. While some Americans pushed for reforms like abolishing slavery, the nation was split by the issue of slavery which led to the Civil War. After the war, the US economy boomed as the country industrialized and became a world leader in manufacturing.
Big Business and Labor
1) Several big business leaders like John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and J.P. Morgan dominated American industry in the late 19th century through practices like vertical and horizontal integration which allowed them to gain control over entire industries like steel and oil.
2) The rise of big business and social darwinism philosophy led critics to label these businessmen "robber barons" for their accumulation of wealth and treatment of workers.
3) Labor unions emerged to fight for better wages and working conditions for American workers, organizing major strikes that sometimes turned violent as with the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 and the Homestead Strike.
4) Both business and government applied pressure tactics against unions like yellow-dog contracts
African American/Black History Month Presentation
The document summarizes two important events in African American history - the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln that freed slaves in Confederate states, and the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. It provides historical context for both events, including the struggles that led to them, key people involved, and their lasting impacts in advancing civil rights and equality.
APUSH Lecture Ch. 11
This document provides an overview of slavery and the Old South from the early 1800s through the Civil War era. Some key points:
- By 1860, there were over 4 million slaves in the US, concentrated primarily in the cotton-producing states of the Deep South where they made up around half the population. The slave population had grown dramatically since the initial importation of 20 Africans in the early 1600s.
- The economy of the Old South was deeply dependent on slavery and the cultivation of cotton, known as "King Cotton." The South produced most of the world's cotton supply, which was the United States' most valuable export.
- Slavery shaped every aspect of Southern society, which was
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.
Trail Of Tears
The document summarizes the forced removal of Native American tribes from their eastern lands to territory west of the Mississippi River in the 1830s. It describes the Cherokee and Creek tribes being forced from their homes in Georgia, Alabama, and other states to march west on the Trail of Tears. Thousands died during the long journeys, due to harsh conditions and disease. The Indian Removal Act of 1830, pushed by President Andrew Jackson, allowed the government to remove eastern tribes and seize their lands.
Knights - A Brief History
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.
Figurative language
The document discusses several types of figurative language used in writing including metaphors, similes, alliteration, personification, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, and repetition. Metaphors and similes both involve comparisons between two unlike things using either directly stating they are the same (metaphor) or using like/as (simile). Alliteration uses repeated initial consonant sounds. Personification gives human traits to non-human things. Onomatopoeia imitates natural sounds. Hyperbole exaggerates for emphasis. Repetition repeats words for importance.

The American Fur Company The American Fur Company was a relentle.docx
The American Fur Company was founded in 1808 by German immigrant John Jacob Astor to monopolize the fur trade across vast areas of North America. Operating out of trading posts along the Missouri River and in the Rocky Mountains, Astor's company drove competitors out of business through aggressive tactics. By the 1820s, the American Fur Company dominated the fur trade from the Great Lakes to the Rocky Mountains. However, by the 1830s declining fur populations and changing economic conditions led to the collapse of Astor's monopoly and the decline of the 300-year-old North American fur trade.

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.
Fur Trade
The fur trade was one of the earliest and most important industries in North America, playing a major role in the development of the United States and Canada over more than 300 years. It began as an exchange between indigenous peoples and Europeans in the 1500s, with beaver fur becoming the most valuable due to demand in Europe. The fur trade had significant effects, including indigenous populations becoming dependent on trading posts and European goods while reducing time spent hunting traditional foods, and the introduction of diseases and alcohol contributed to the demoralization of indigenous cultures.

The American Fur Company
The American Fur Company was a relentless monopoly built in the climactic era of the fur trade. It was created in 1808 by John Jacob Astor, a striving German immigrant, in an environment so favorable that over vast North American territories it had more power than the fledgling American government.
In its time, this company shaped the destiny ofa young nation. It made Astor the richest American of his day. Yet by the 1830s its situation had so changed that it and the 300-year-old trade in furs collapsed.
ASTOR ARRIVES IN
A YOUNG NATION
In 1763 Astor was born to a butcher and his wife in the German village of Waldorf. In childhood he met hardship. The family was poor and often hungry, his mother died and a new step-mother was hostile. He spent much time alone but grew into a strong, diligent young man. Finding no joy in his father’s butchering work, at the age of 15 he left the village for London, working four years there to save money for an ocean voyage to the New World. In
1783, at the age of 20, with no education, little money, and speaking poor English, he set sail on a merchant ship. During the long voyage, a fur trader taught him how to appraise and handle skins.
These lessons gave Astor knowledge he needed for an occupation. He would soon show himself an apt student.
At this time, the fur trade on the North American continent was almost 300 years old. It had begun early in the sixteenth century after Spanish and
French explorers made contact with native forest dwellers, and it soon included the British. The Europeans wanted beaver, martin, ermine, .
Minnesota
The first people arrived in Minnesota around 9,000 years ago, with sustained settlements beginning around 1,500 years later. By the time Europeans arrived, the Dakota and Ojibwa tribes inhabited the area. In the late 1600s, French traders were the first Europeans to encounter the Dakota. Minnesota became a US territory in 1849 and a state in 1858, with St. Paul designated as the capital. Minnesota supplied many troops during the Civil War and saw violent conflict during the Dakota War of 1862. The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul grew significantly in the late 19th century due to flour milling and wheat farming. Iron ore mining drove the economy for much of the 20th century, though the industry declined after

Prior to the discovery of gold, much of the West was considered a wasteland & much was part of North MexicoDuring the last decades of the 1800s, the U.S. was segmented into 1) an industrialized society and 2) a frontierThe 1890 census was the first to record that the frontier had been settledAdditionally, by 1890 the US surpassed Great Britain in iron and steel productionSettlement in the West was powered by industry
Mexico was under Spanish domination until 1821.

By the 1860s, agricultural settlement reached the western margins of the tall grass prairies
Ecology-60 million years ago, the Rocky Mountains rose out of the sea and covered western North AmericaWith no outlet, the shallow inland sea dried upA hard pan was leftSediment washed down from the mountains over time to form a loose, featureless surface
Ecology-The climate suffered from cycles of drought because moist winds from the Pacific ocean delivered rain on the western slope of the Sierras Only drought-resistant grasses and plants could survive in this climateThe ecosystem could support certain plants and animals, but had not nurtured very much human settlement
About 100,000 Native American groups lived on the plains in 1850They were very diverseThey have been categorized across six linguistic families and 30 “tribal” groupsMandan, Arikara, Pawnee

One notable group of Plains Native American Indians were the Lakota SiouxThey had strict gender rolesWomen were more subordinate than in other groupsSaw God as a series of powers pervading the universeThe Sun Dance was one form of religious worship for them

The Lakota Sioux were not a self-contained group of peopleThey traded with others, including whitesPelts and buffalo robes were traded for kettles, knives, blankets, & guns, which the Lakota came to rely upon
Again, prior to the 1840s gold rush, land in the west was seen as only worthy of Native American Indian settlement and useIn 1834, congress formally designated the Great Plains as permanent Indian countryThe army constructed border forts from Lake Superior to Fort Worth TexasThey were made of stone because they would be in place “forever”“Mainstream” Americans would theoretically trade with the Native Americans, but not settle the west

New Hampshire: An Industrious State
New Hampshire's early economy was based on the fur trade, with beaver pelts being a major export. Relations with Native Americans were initially cooperative for trade but deteriorated as English settlers demanded more land. Farming was the main occupation for early colonists, but domestic industries like mills, tanning, shoemaking and furniture making supplemented individual farmer's incomes. The mast trade of exporting tall white pine trees was also important but caused tensions under restrictive British policies. American independence enabled New Hampshire to have more control over its economy and local industries.

French in north america
The document summarizes the early fur trade between French colonists and indigenous peoples in North America, as well as the establishment and growth of New France. Initially, natives traded furs for goods like metal tools and beads. This increased their environmental impact and competition between tribes. The French claimed the St. Lawrence Valley for strategic reasons including its northern location and harbor. Warfare between the Iroquois and other tribes led to cycles of violence and prisoner taking. By 1700, the population of New France grew to 15,000, though it remained much smaller than English colonies.

- 3. The French explorer Radisson and Groseilliers reach the south shore of Lake Superior by canoe. They meet the Dakota Indians.
- 4. Explorers and voyageurs meet the Dakota and Ojibwe Indians who have been living in Minnesota for hundreds of years. The explorers and voyageurs trap and trade for furs from the Native Americans.
- 5. The Native Americans brought furs of many kinds to trade, beaver being the most valuable. All other furs and goods were valued in beaver skins. Other furs brought in were fisher, otter, mink, bear, deer, fox, muskrat, badger, raccoon, rabbit and even skunk!
- 6. European traders brought many things the Native Americans desired. Things such as, metal cookware, wool blankets, traps, metal axes, files, knives, silver jewelry, glass beads, cotton calico cloth, flint and steel, muskets, shot and powder. Some of the trade goods caused problems for the Native Americans such as, tobacco, and alcohol.

- 12. The Indians traded furs for such goods as tools and weapons. Beaver fur, which was used in Europe to make felt hats, became the most valuable of these furs. The fur trade prospered until the mid-1800's, when furbearing animals became scarce and silk hats became more popular than felt hats made with beaver.
- 14. The fur trade began because of men’s fashions in Europe. Men were wearing top hats made of beaver fur. These hats cost the average worker 6 months of their wages, so only the rich purchased new beaver top hats.
- 16. There were 3 main sizes of canoes used in the fur trade. The smallest was called the Ojibway canoe. It was 10 to 12 feet long, paddled by 1 or 2 people and used on small lakes and rivers. The most common canoe was the North Canoe. It was 24 to 36 feet long and was used on larger lakes and rivers, had between 6 to 10 paddlers and could handle 3000 lbs. of cargo. The Montreal canoe was used on the Great Lakes. It was 36 to 48 ft long, carried 5000 lbs. of cargo. If empty it could have up to 20 people on board.
- 18. • Beaver pelts were very perishable and need to be treated quickly to prevent decay. • Indian women prepared the pelts in several steps.
- 19. 1: They washed the pelts to remove dirt and blood. 2: They scraped the flesh and fat off the pelts with a bone or metal flesher. 3: Next the women stretched and dried the pelts by tying them on willow hoops.
- 20. Fur trade clerk Michel Curot builds a fur post near the St. Croix River. Minnesota’s fur trade booms.
- 21. By 1840 there were several issues that lead to end of the fur trade. 1.Settlers were moving into Minnesota and forcing out the fur gathering Native Americans. 2.The number of fur bearing animals was going down. 3.There was a change in fashion. Men’s top hats were now being made of silk.
