The document examines the reasons for the growth of railroads in the US, the problems in building them, and their overall impact. It discusses how the Pacific Railways Act of 1862 established companies to link the east and west coasts, which were completed in 1869. Building the railroads presented financial and logistical challenges like acquiring funds, navigating difficult terrain, and dealing with native groups. The railroads created jobs, spurred related industries, opened new markets, and allowed for faster travel and settlement of the west, though they also displaced native lands and hunting grounds.

Social Welfare 1919 39
After World War 1, the British government sought to improve public health and social welfare. A Ministry of Health was established in 1919 to better coordinate these efforts across departments. New laws like the 1919 Housing and Town Planning Act and 1920 Unemployment Insurance Act aimed to provide housing and insurance for workers. However, problems emerged from having both public and private organizations involved without coordination, leading to uneven treatment of the poor and rich across Britain.

It identifies potential partners like local businesses, schools, and nursing homes who could provide funding, resources, or expertise. Technologies like computers, cameras, and video conferencing equipment would be used. The project aims to address connecting people of different ages, building caring relationships, and enhancing well-being through collaborative multimedia activities.
The Homesteaders
The document discusses the three main reasons why homesteaders moved to settle on the Great Plains in the late 19th century. The first reason was government acts, like the Homestead Act of 1862, which offered settlers free land in exchange for farming it for five years. The second reason was the aftermath of the Civil War, as ex-soldiers from both sides sought a fresh start. The third reason was the development of transcontinental railroads, which made travel to and commerce on the Plains easier while also selling land adjacent to the rail lines.
18.1 Miners, Ranchers and Railroads
As more people moved west, mining, ranching, and railroads began transforming the West in the late 1800s. Mining booms like the 1859 Comstock Lode discovery in Nevada led to new towns springing up overnight. Cattle ranching also became popular, though it ended with the introduction of barbed wire fencing. Growing populations in the West increased the need for better communication and transportation, leading to the development of the Pony Express and telegraph systems. The Transcontinental Railroad was ultimately built between 1866-1869 to connect the eastern and western United States, spurring further economic growth.
5.2 the development of the american railroads
The development of the transcontinental railroad in the United States was driven by the concept of Manifest Destiny and the desire to connect the eastern and western parts of the country. The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 granted funding and land subsidies to the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads to build the line. These companies engaged in a race to complete as much track as possible, employing various workers including ex-soldiers, immigrants, and using new technologies like dynamite. The Last Spike was driven in 1869 in Promontory, Utah connecting the continental United States by rail for the first time. The railroad transformed the country by facilitating transportation and settlement of the West.

The Transcontinental Railroad connected the eastern and western United States by rail in the 1860s, overcoming significant challenges. The Central Pacific Railroad worked east from Sacramento, facing difficulties in obtaining supplies and traversing the Sierra Nevada mountains, while recruiting Chinese immigrant laborers. Meanwhile, the Union Pacific worked west from Omaha, encountering Native American resistance. On May 10, 1869 the two lines were joined at Promontory Point, Utah. This breakthrough transportation network spurred western settlement and trade, fueling national economic growth and transforming the United States into a global power.
Power Point Industrialization
The document summarizes the industrialization period of the Second Industrial Revolution from 1860-1920. It describes how inventions led to the growth of big businesses and factories in major cities in the Northern U.S. Immigrants and business leaders drove industrial growth, while workers organized unions to fight for better conditions. New transportation technologies like railroads, subways, and electric streetcars helped enable the expansion of cities during this period of rapid industrialization and urbanization.
Transcontential railroad
The document discusses the construction of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States in the 1860s. It summarizes the various proposals over the decades to build such a railroad, the debate over potential routes, the Pacific Railroad Acts that incentivized and funded the construction by the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads, the main immigrant worker groups of Irish and Chinese who built it, and the impacts on trade, travel, Native Americans, and the connectedness of the country. Completion in 1869 united the eastern and western United States by rail and transformed the nation.
Laws that Made it Easier to "Go West"
The document discusses why people went west in the late 19th century, noting that newspapers encouraged moving west to take advantage of new opportunities on the Great Plains following the Civil War. The government passed two acts in 1862, the Morrill Land-Grant Act and the Homestead Act, which gave states land to establish agricultural colleges and settlers ownership of 160 acres respectively if they lived on and farmed the land for several years. Improved transportation, including the 1862 Pacific Railway Act and the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869, made traveling west much easier.

- The growth of the western population and railroads had major impacts on Native Americans. The buffalo were hunted to near extinction, destroying the Indians' way of life. Notable events included the Sand Creek and Wounded Knee massacres.
- The transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, connecting the Union Pacific and Central Pacific lines. Chinese laborers worked on the Central Pacific portion while Irish immigrants and veterans worked on the Union Pacific.
- The railroads and inventions like the telephone had widespread effects, stimulating industries like steel and the organization of large corporations known as trusts. Figures like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan amassed huge fortunes and monopolies in oil, steel, and banking respectively.
Westward Expansion
The document discusses the transcontinental railroad in the United States. It describes how the Pony Express and telegraph led to the need for a railroad connecting the east and west coasts. The Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 provided funding for the Union Pacific Railroad to build west from Omaha, Nebraska and the Central Pacific Railroad to build east from Sacramento, California. Immigrant workers, including many Chinese immigrants, provided much of the labor needed to complete the railroad. The two lines met at Promontory Point, Utah in 1869 where the final spike was driven, uniting the country by rail.
Final reasons for westward expansion
The document discusses several key reasons for Westward expansion in the United States between 1880-1900. It describes opportunities for free land ownership through the Homestead Act of 1862, which allowed anyone to claim 160 acres if they lived on and improved the land. Technological advances like the Transcontinental Railroad, completed in 1869, made travel to the West much faster. The possibility of striking it rich in gold or silver mines also drew many prospectors and miners westward to places experiencing gold rushes like California, Colorado and Nevada. Freed slaves and former slaves also migrated west seeking a new beginning and escape from racial oppression and violence in the southern states.
The Railroads
The document discusses the building of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States in the 1860s by the Central Pacific Railroad Company and Union Pacific Railroad Company. It describes how the railroad reduced travel time from east to west from 6 months to a maximum of 8 days, enabled cheap land sales that benefited homesteaders and ranchers, and contributed to the destruction of Native American populations and development of the cattle industry through transportation of goods and resources.
Business History Session 3
The Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869, connecting the Union Pacific Railroad from the east to the Central Pacific Railroad from the west. This unprecedented engineering feat joined the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by rail for the first time. While the railroad was built for national defense and to unite the country, it also made a handful of men immensely wealthy, including Leland Stanford, Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker of the Central Pacific, and Thomas Durant of the Union Pacific. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad transformed the United States by enabling rapid population growth in the West, spurring additional rail construction, and symbolizing the vast opportunities available in the newly opened western territories.
9.1-9.2SS Economic Regions.pptx
The document discusses the economic regions of the United States and how patterns of human activity helped create them. It identifies four main regions: the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. The Northeast developed as a financial center focused on shipping and trade. The South's economy was historically based in agriculture and slave labor. The Midwest grew due to railroads and agricultural production. The West expanded with railroads, cattle ranching, mining, and more recently high tech industries.

King John Weakest Link
1. The document discusses King John of England who ruled from 1199-1216 and debates whether he was a good, bad, or unlucky king. It presents a role-playing activity where students make decisions as King John and evaluate the consequences.
2. Students are asked to consider evidence that shows whether King John was good, bad, and/or unlucky based on his decisions as king. They then have to place him on the "Wheel of Fortune" and assess if he was the "weakest link".
3. King John faced many problems with rebellious barons and losing land in France. His decisions were often foolish and made his problems and unpopularity worse.
How Did William Control England
William faced several challenges in controlling England after the Battle of Hastings. He dealt with rebellions in different parts of the country and established castles like motte and bailey fortresses for defense. He also implemented the feudal system where the king was at the top and granted land to barons and knights who then provided military service. William further solidified his control through the Domesday Book, a record of land ownership across England.
1066 3 Men
The document discusses the succession crisis in England following the death of King Edward the Confessor in 1066, when there was no clear heir to the throne. There were three main contenders: Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex; William, Duke of Normandy; and Harald Hardraada, King of Norway. It provides arguments from each of the three men about why they should be king, including family ties, promises made, and military strength. Students are tasked with analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each contender's claim, and deciding which one they think had the best claim to the English throne.
Feudalsystem]
The document discusses the Feudal System in medieval England and the Battle of Hastings in 1066. It asks questions about how the Feudal System worked, who fought at Hastings for the English crown, what trick William used to defeat Harold, and one problem William faced as new King of England as well as one solution he used.

The document summarizes the key events of the Battle of Hastings in 1066, where William the Conqueror defeated King Harold II of England. It describes the armies of William and Harold and the early stages of battle, including Harold's formation of a Saxon shield wall. It then explains William's cunning plan to feign retreat and surround Harold's men. After weakening the shield wall with archers, William launched another charge and Harold's brothers were killed. Harold was then fatally wounded by an arrow, and with his death the remaining Saxons fled, leading to William's victory.
Medieval Village
The document discusses an archaeological site at Wharram Percy in Yorkshire, England that provided insights into medieval English villages. In the 1940s, an aircraft taking aerial photographs of the area spotted outlines of the long-lost village of Wharram Percy that were invisible from the ground. Archaeological excavations since then have uncovered the remains of the manor house, streets, houses, church, mill and mill pond through identifying building foundations and other structural remnants visible below the ground. The discovery demonstrated how aerial photography could reveal historical features obscured by vegetation and time.

After winning the Battle of Hastings, William still faced problems securing control over England. He faced rebellions in several northern areas that supported Harold. He established a system of castles and used feudalism to run the country. William conducted the Domesday Book to tax the land and assert his control. Overall, William's most effective tactic was establishing a network of castles across England to assert military dominance over the territory.
Wheel Of Fortune
This document discusses the problems faced by medieval kings and evaluating which kings were the weakest. It aims to identify problems medieval kings faced, explain how successfully or unsuccessfully kings solved those problems, and determine which king or kings were least able to deal with their challenges.
Becketbookletcover
Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170. Four knights loyal to King Henry II entered the cathedral and killed Becket with swords after hearing the King say that he wanted rid of his troublesome Archbishop. The murder shocked Europe and led to Becket's canonization as a saint in 1173, making Canterbury Cathedral an important site of pilgrimage in the late medieval period.
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.
The Power Of The Christian Church
The document discusses the power and importance of the Christian church during the Middle Ages. It aims to identify reasons for the church's importance, explain why the church played a major role in people's lives, and assess the significance of religion in medieval society. Students are tasked with mapping ways the church was powerful, selecting the top three reasons, and explaining their choices. 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. Four knights heard Henry say he wished to be "rid of this troublesome priest" and murdered Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1164. Historians have debated whether Becket or Henry was ultimately responsible.
Lesplanblackdeath
This lesson plan aims to teach students about the Black Death pandemic in medieval Europe through various interactive activities. Students will first contextualize peasants' lives in the summer of 1348 when the plague arrived in England. They will then watch a video on the Black Death and identify key facts. Working in pairs or groups, students will map the spread of the plague and label symptoms. They will create a play or newspaper reporting on medieval beliefs, cures, and the devastation of the Black Death. To conclude, students will peer assess each other's work and prioritize why the plague was so devastating through group discussion. The next lesson will cover the Peasants' Revolt.
Englandscotwalesire
English attempts to take over the British Isles met with mixed success between the 11th and 15th centuries. Key dates where England was either successful or unsuccessful in asserting control over Wales, Scotland, and Ireland included 1072, 1100, 1282, 1314, and 1500. Students are tasked with labeling a map to indicate areas of English success and lack of success during this period, creating newsflash summaries of important battles and their outcomes, and scoring England's success against each country out of 10 while justifying their ratings.
What Were The Middle Ages Like
The document provides guidance for students on analyzing primary and secondary sources to understand life in the Middle Ages. It introduces the concept of primary and secondary sources and examples of each. Students are instructed to carefully read sources from their textbook and consider who created each source, when, where, what it shows, and why to help understand and write about what life was like in the Middle Ages. Higher level evaluations require explaining viewpoints and supporting conclusions with evidence from the sources.
Does Haig Deserve The Title ‘Butcher Of
This document discusses whether Field Marshal Douglas Haig deserves the title "Butcher of the Somme" for his leadership during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. There are two interpretations presented - one that criticizes Haig for heavy British casualties during large-scale infantry attacks with little success, and an alternative view that Haig developed effective new battlefield tactics that reduced casualties over time. 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.
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.
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.
