The Mexican-American War lasted from 1846 to 1848 and was fought between the United States and Mexico over the annexation of Texas and Mexico's northern lands by the U.S. The war started when Mexican troops attacked U.S. soldiers stationed in the disputed border region along the Rio Grande in 1846, and resulted in U.S. victories that expanded its territory significantly. Through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, Mexico ceded over 500,000 square miles of territory, including parts of modern day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming, deepening tensions between slave and free states.
Manifest Destiny and the Mexican American Warreghistory
Manifest Destiny was the belief that American settlers were destined to expand across North America. This motivated the U.S. to annex Texas and go to war with Mexico to acquire California and New Mexico. The Mexican-American War ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, where Mexico ceded California and New Mexico to the U.S. in exchange for $15 million. This allowed Manifest Destiny to be fulfilled and the U.S. to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean.
During the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848, the United States fought Mexico and gained control over vast new territories in the Southwest. There were over 60 battles during the war, with 10 key battles proving decisive for the American victory, including Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterrey, Buena Vista, Veracruz, Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Churubusco, and Chapultepec. Through strategic military victories led by commanders like Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott, the U.S. acquired new states like Texas and established control over California and New Mexico.
1) The document describes the territorial expansion of the United States under President Polk, including the annexation of Texas, Oregon Treaty that set the border with Canada, and war with Mexico that resulted in the acquisition of California and much of the Southwest.
2) The Mexican-American War broke out after Mexico refused to sell additional territory and tensions escalated over the border between Texas and Mexico. U.S. victories in the war forced Mexico to cede the disputed territory.
3) President Polk substantially increased the size of the United States, though it intensified sectional divisions between pro-expansion Northern and Southern interests over the expansion of slavery.
The Mexican-American War lasted from 1846 to 1848 and was fought between the United States and Mexico over the disputed territory of Texas. Inspired by the concept of Manifest Destiny, U.S. President James Polk sought to expand U.S. territory and authorized military action after Mexico refused to sell California and New Mexico. Key battles included Palo Alto, the first major battle of the war. The war ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, where Mexico ceded California, Utah, and parts of other western states to the U.S. Casualties totaled over 1,700 Americans killed and 25,000 estimated Mexican deaths.
The document provides a summary of key events and developments in America and other parts of the world from the 19th century. It discusses how the United States gained independence from Britain and established its own government through the Declaration of Independence. It also discusses westward expansion in America, the Louisiana Purchase, the fur trade, Texas independence from Mexico, major battles of the Civil War including Bull Run, Shiloh, and Antietam, and the Emancipation Proclamation issued by Lincoln after the Battle of Antietam.
The Mexican-American War began as the United States increasingly embraced the idea of Manifest Destiny and sought to expand its territory westward. President James K. Polk provoked Mexico into war by sending troops into disputed land along the Texas border. The U.S. then rapidly gained victories over Mexico, conquering northern Mexico. In 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war, forcing Mexico to cede much of the modern-day American Southwest and California to the United States.
The document discusses the concept of Manifest Destiny and America's westward expansion between 1810-1860. Key events included the increase of nationalism, further western settlement, the Oregon dispute resolved in 1846, the Mexican War adding new territories to the US from 1846-1848, and the California Gold Rush beginning in 1849 which drew thousands of prospectors west. Overall this period saw the partial realization of Manifest Destiny and American control extending across the North American continent, though it also exacerbated tensions around the issue of slavery in the new territories.

Spain sought to strengthen its control over North America by promoting Catholicism and prohibiting American settlement in Texas. However, Americans increasingly outnumbered Mexicans in Texas in the early 1830s. In 1835, Americans ignored new Mexican laws banning slavery and further immigration. This led to the Texas War for Independence, culminating in the famous stand at the Alamo in 1836 where William Travis, Davy Crockett, James Bowie and others fought to the death against Santa Anna's forces. Texas eventually declared independence after Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, leading to Texas joining the United States as a state in 1845.

Mexican War and Compromise of 1850 (US History)Tom Richey
The Monroe Doctrine and concept of Manifest Destiny affected US relations with foreign powers by justifying American expansion westward. The US played a role in the Texan Revolution by annexing Texas after it declared independence from Mexico. This contributed to the Mexican War, where the US occupied Mexico City and gained territorial concessions through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, including the Mexican Cession that became the American Southwest. The Gadsden Purchase further expanded the southern border in 1853.
HIS 2213 LU13: Was the U.S. Mexican War an Act of American Imperialism?historyteacher38668
This document provides an overview of the U.S.-Mexican War and the concept of Manifest Destiny that contributed to American expansionism and territorial gains in the 1840s. It discusses factors that led to war such as disputes over Texas, President Polk's push for expansion, and racial ideologies. The war resulted in Mexico ceding over half its territory in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The document examines debates over slavery in the new lands and domestic opposition to the war as an act of American imperialism.
The Mexican-American War occurred between 1846 and 1848 and was caused by American overpopulation of Mexican lands and Mexico's failure to uphold contracts with the United States. President James K. Polk wanted the war to justify taking Mexican lands to fulfill Manifest Destiny and prevent European colonization. The war doubled the size of the United States and resulted in the Mexican Cession, giving the U.S. new lands and Mexicans American citizenship, but also reignited domestic issues over slavery and caused turmoil in Mexico.
The document provides an overview of events and topics covered in a history lesson, including:
1) A timeline of key events from 1775-1778 in the American Revolutionary War such as the Declaration of Independence and the Battles of Trenton and Saratoga.

The document discusses the Spanish-American War of 1898. It describes how Cuba, a Spanish colony, was a source of wealth for Spain due to its sugarcane plantations. In 1868, Cuban rebels declared independence and began fighting against Spanish rule, but their revolution failed. The rebels then fled to the United States to plan another revolution. Jose Marti, a Cuban poet and exiled revolutionary leader, raised money and weapons in New York to prepare for an invasion of Cuba. In 1895, as the Cuban economy struggled due to new U.S. tariffs, Marti and his followers launched a new rebellion and declared Cuba's independence, setting up the Republic of Cuba.
Manifest Destiny, Monroe Doctrine, and Mexican War (USHC 2.2)Tom Richey
The document discusses how the Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny influenced U.S. foreign relations and expansion in the 1800s. It describes how the Monroe Doctrine aimed to limit European colonization in the Americas and how Manifest Destiny promoted westward expansion as divinely ordained. It then gives details on how these ideas contributed to U.S. involvement in the Texas Revolution and Mexican War, resulting in territorial acquisitions that increased tensions over slavery and expanded the nation from coast to coast.
The Cuban Revolution overthrew the authoritarian regime of Fulgencio Batista in 1959 and established a communist government led by Fidel Castro. Long-term causes of the revolution included socioeconomic inequalities between the wealthy elite and poor majority, anti-American sentiment due to US influence over Cuba's economy, and political corruption under Batista. Fidel Castro and his 26th of July Movement engaged in guerilla warfare against Batista's forces from their base in the Sierra Maestra mountains. They gained popular support and eventually overthrew Batista on January 1, 1959, leading to Castro establishing a new communist government aligned with the Soviet Union.
The Cuban Revolution from 1953 to 1959 overthrew the US-backed Batista regime and established a communist government led by Fidel Castro. Castro led a guerrilla uprising against Batista from the Sierra Maestra mountains. By 1958, Batista had lost support and fled Cuba on New Year's Day 1959. Castro then took control of the new Cuban government and began nationalizing foreign-owned businesses, straining relations with the US. This led to a US trade embargo and Cuba aligning with the Soviet Union, escalating tensions during the Cold War.
King George III responded to colonial appeals by having British forces attack colonial settlements. The document provides a timeline of key events in the American Revolutionary War, including the Declaration of Independence in 1776, battles such as Trenton and Saratoga, and notes that some states abolished slavery while Native American tribes aided the British by attacking colonial settlements.
The document summarizes key events and developments during the American Civil War from 1861-1865. It discusses Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 without any southern electoral votes, leading several southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America. The Civil War began with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina in April 1861. The document outlines the military, economic, diplomatic, and technological aspects of the war, including the Union's shift to emancipation and enlistment of black soldiers after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. It also describes the human toll of the war through disease, hunger and inadequate supplies faced by both armies.
The document discusses several topics related to 19th century Americas:
1) The quest for wealth brought immigrants to the Americas, increasing diversity. Independence from Europe was a major theme, achieved through war for the US and fears of encroachment for Canada.
2) Latin America gained independence from Spain and Portugal but then experienced political turbulence as new leaders lacked experience in self-governance.
3) The Little Ice Age from 1300s-1850s caused global famine and death through cold temperatures and failed crops. Immigrants brought cultural traditions like beer to America.

Lecture 11 part i- american expansion west - mexican territories & westLACCD
The document summarizes American expansion and settlement of the western territories between 1840-1869. It discusses how Manifest Destiny and the war with Mexico led to the annexation of Texas and acquisition of the western half of Mexico, including California. The gold rush then spurred massive migration to California, including Chinese immigrants. Western settlement posed opportunities but also limitations based on race, as Native Americans, African Americans, Chinese, and women faced restrictions. The Mormons also migrated west seeking religious freedom and established Salt Lake City.
1.

2. It discusses the founding of colonies by various European powers and the introduction of slavery, as well as religious movements like the Great Awakening that helped shape American identity.
3. By the 1700s colonial populations had grown significantly, and the lower houses of colonial assemblies had gained power at the expense of royal authority, setting the stage for the American Revolution.
Manifest Destiny was the belief in the 1800s that the United States was destined to expand across North America to the Pacific Ocean. From 1803 to 1853, the U.S. more than doubled in size through various territorial acquisitions like the Louisiana Purchase, annexation of Texas, and war with Mexico, gaining control of land stretching from coast to coast. This westward expansion was driven by both the desire to spread democracy and economic opportunities like the California Gold Rush of 1849.

The document summarizes key events in America's turn to overseas expansion in the late 19th century. It describes growing American ambition and belief in cultural superiority that fed expansionism. The US acquired Alaska from Russia in 1867 and began asserting influence in Latin America through the Blaine policy. Tensions with European powers increased through incidents in the 1880s-1890s. The US annexed Hawaii in 1898 after a rebellion. The US also became embroiled in Cuba's rebellion against Spain and responded to the sinking of the USS Maine by declaring war on Spain in 1898. The US victory in the Spanish-American War resulted in the acquisition of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from Spain. This touched off debates over US imperialism
This document provides an overview of America's emergence as an imperial power in the late 19th century. It discusses factors that led to the Spanish-American War in 1898 such as the Cuban war for independence and yellow journalism. The war resulted in the U.S. acquiring colonies like the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico, marking the first time America established an overseas empire.
The document provides a detailed overview of American westward expansion between the early 1800s and 1850s. It describes how the Oregon Territory was claimed by several nations, how American fur trappers and missionaries began settling the region in the 1820s-1840s, and how the concept of Manifest Destiny and Oregon Fever led to a mass migration of settlers along the Oregon Trail. It also discusses the American acquisition of Texas and war with Mexico, which resulted in the Mexican Cession of California and New Mexico to the US. The conclusion summarizes the impacts of the California Gold Rush and statehood for California and Utah.

The document summarizes United States expansionism and imperialism in the late 1800s following the closing of the western frontier. It discusses the Spanish-American War and America's acquisition of territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines as a result. America emerged from the war as a new imperial power with overseas possessions and influence. The building of the Panama Canal further extended American economic and military power abroad in this period.
The document summarizes key events in the Spanish-American War and U.S. expansion in the late 1800s. It discusses factors that led the U.S. to desire expanding its territory, including new economic markets and not wanting to be left behind. Events like the sinking of the USS Maine and yellow journalism helped propel the U.S. into war with Spain in 1898. As a result of defeating Spain, the U.S. gained control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines and emerged as an imperial power with territories around the world.
Manifest Destiny described the belief that American settlers were destined to expand across North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. This belief helped drive U.S. territorial expansion in the 1840s-1850s through the annexation of Texas, Oregon Treaty, and Mexican-American War. The acquisition of new lands intensified debates over the expansion of slavery and reshaped the political landscape around the issue of states' rights in the new western territories.
The document lists questions from a textbook about important people, places, events, and concepts in American history. These include the first president, the three branches of government, the Boston Tea Party, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, freedoms in the First Amendment, presidents, and more. It also includes sample pages from the textbook covering topics like the Revolutionary War, civil rights, the Great Depression, Oregon Territory, and states acquired by the US.
Eleven southern states seceded from the Union after Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860, forming the Confederate States of America. This led to the American Civil War between the Union and Confederacy from 1861 to 1865. During this time, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which abolished slavery. After the Union defeated the Confederacy, the U.S. purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867.
This document provides an overview of American women's shifting boundaries from the 1840s to the 1860s, covering expansion, reform movements, and the Civil War era. It discusses how American expansion displaced Native American women and impoverished them, while some white women found new opportunities on the frontier and in the Gold Rush. It also summarizes several major reform movements of the antebellum period led by women to expand their sphere and address issues like slavery, health, and women's rights. Finally, it outlines women's involvement on both sides of the conflict during the Civil War and their role in bringing about emancipation.
Good Feelings, Jacksonian Democracy, and Manifest DestinyDave Phillips
During the Era of Good Feelings from 1817-1825, Americans had reason to feel optimistic. The period was defined by territorial expansion through treaties like the Adams-Onis Treaty and the Monroe Doctrine. Additionally, the national economy grew through internal improvements championed by Henry Clay. However, sectional tensions arose over tariffs and the expansion of slavery that would later plunge the nation into civil war.
The document discusses two prominent abolitionists from the 19th century, William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass, who worked to end slavery through different means. It also provides historical context about territorial expansion in the 1840s, the Mexican-American War under President James K. Polk, and the acquisition of territory from Mexico through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
This document provides information on key trends and events in America between 1810-1860, including the rise of new intellectual and religious movements, social reforms, and the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. It discusses the concept of "Manifest Destiny" and expansionist attitudes during this period. Specific events covered include the Oregon Dispute, the Mexican-American War, the California Gold Rush, and the growth of the nation's territory through acquisition and settlement. Political developments such as the emergence of the second party system and the Free Soil Party are also summarized.
The document discusses the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. It describes how a decade-long drought combined with poor farming practices, including overgrazing and plowing of too much land, left the topsoil vulnerable to being blown away by high winds. This led to massive dust storms that caused millions of tons of topsoil to blow eastward, devastating crops and forcing many farmers to abandon their homes and migrate west in search of work. The Dust Bowl affected the Great Plains states and was both an ecological and human disaster.
The document discusses different investment options in the 1920s including savings accounts, the stock market, and keeping cash in a mattress. It notes that there were 513 millionaires in America in 1929 but only 20 by 1932. The stock market offered the chance for large profits but also great risk, especially when buying stocks "on margin" using loans. Many Americans invested in the booming stock market during this time using credit. However, when the market crashed in 1929, people who had bought stocks on margin lost everything and were left deeply in debt. The unchecked use of credit to speculate on rising stock prices was a major factor that contributed to the severity of the Great Depression.

The document describes the strong U.S. economy of the 1920s. It states that between 1922-1928, GNP rose 40% and unemployment was around 5%. The stock market also performed well, with the value of stocks traded quadrupling over nine years. People believed the prosperity could continue indefinitely and that everyone could get rich in the stock market. However, farmers fell further behind during this time period. The document then provides information about the units that will be covered on the final exam for U.S. History.
American veterans of World War I returned home to promises of bonuses but faced hard times during the Great Depression as the bonuses were not to be paid until 1945. Thousands of desperate veterans traveled to Washington D.C. to demand early payment, setting up camps. When Congress rejected early payment, President Hoover ordered the camps cleared. General MacArthur led cavalry to destroy the camps, and clashes left several dead and hundreds wounded, undermining support for Hoover months before the 1932 election.

The document provides information about the causes and impact of the Great Depression in the United States between 1929-1940. It discusses several key factors that led to the Depression, including depressed farms and industry, unequal wealth distribution, tight monetary policy, and declining foreign trade. The stock market crash of 1929 is described as having widespread and catastrophic effects, greatly damaging the economy. The human impacts of the widespread unemployment are also summarized, such as the formation of shanty towns known as "Hoovervilles" and many men abandoning their families to travel as "hoboes". The document concludes by noting the emotional toll of the Depression on Americans through feelings of failure, shame, despair, and anger.

Early scientists proposed ideas about biological and geological evolution and change before Darwin. Some key figures included Linnaeus who developed a taxonomy system, Buffon who proposed that species shared common ancestors, and Lamarck who believed that environmental changes could lead to adaptations through use and disuse of structures. The prevailing theory of geological change was uniformitarianism, which held that current geological forces shaped the earth over long periods of time.
1) The Treaty of Versailles established the terms of peace after World War 1. It required Germany to accept responsibility for starting the war and pay extensive reparations. It also redrew borders in Europe and created new countries like Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.
2) The "Big Four" nations of France, Britain, Italy, and the United States shaped the final agreement, though Germany and Russia were excluded from negotiations.
3) In the U.S., the Senate rejected ratifying the Treaty of Versailles due to opposition from Republicans who wanted to focus on domestic issues rather than commit to international agreements like the League of Nations. The U.S. ultimately did not join the League of Nations.
The document discusses the 1912 US presidential election between Republican incumbent William Taft, former president Theodore Roosevelt running as a third party candidate for the Progressive "Bull Moose" Party, and Democrat Woodrow Wilson. The Republican party split due to tensions between Taft and Roosevelt allowed Wilson to win the election. His victory was aided by the divided Republican vote between Taft and Roosevelt. The Socialist party candidate Eugene Debs received their highest level of support to date in this election as well.
The document provides background information on the Progressive Era in the early 20th century in the United States. It describes the period as one of significant social and political reform, driven by reformers seeking to address problems that arose from rapid industrialization and urbanization, such as poor working conditions. Specific issues discussed include child labor, unsafe factories, long work hours with low pay. Events like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that killed 146 workers are cited as catalysts for the reform movement to impose new laws and regulations protecting worker safety. The document suggests that while reform addressed some problems of the time, the need for reform is ongoing.
Here are one sentence explanations of each amendment:
16th Amendment - The federal government was allowed to collect income taxes directly from individuals.
17th Amendment - Senators would now be elected by popular vote instead of by state legislatures.
18th Amendment - The production, transport, and sale of alcoholic beverages was banned nationwide.
19th Amendment - Women gained the right to vote with the ratification of this amendment.
The 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was a progressive amendment. Progressives believed that all citizens, not just wealthy men, should have a voice in the political process and their government. By giving women the right to vote, nearly half the population was enfranchised and able to

Overall, it sets the context for understanding the rationale and need for reforms during the Progressive Era.
Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest U.S. President in 1901 at age 42 after the assassination of William McKinley. As President, Roosevelt pursued progressive reforms and established himself as a trustbuster by taking on large corporations like Northern Securities Company in antitrust cases. He was a conservationist and established 150 million acres of national forests during his presidency. Roosevelt also oversaw the construction of the Panama Canal and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese War. Though eligible, Roosevelt chose not to run for a third term in 1908, instead backing his friend William Howard Taft as the Republican candidate.
Cellular respiration involves three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis breaks down glucose in the cytoplasm and produces a small amount of ATP. The Krebs cycle further breaks down the products of glycolysis in the mitochondrial matrix and transfers energy. Finally, the electron transport chain uses this energy to produce a large amount of ATP through an electron transport process that requires oxygen. The overall process converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP through these three main stages occurring within the mitochondria.
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts within plant cells and captures energy from sunlight to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water. The process has two parts - the light-dependent reactions in the thylakoids that absorb light energy using chlorophyll and transfer it to make ATP and NADPH, and the light-independent reactions in the stroma that use ATP and NADPH to produce sugars and release oxygen as a byproduct. Overall, the chemical equation represents photosynthesis combining carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen using energy from sunlight.
All cells need chemical energy, which is primarily carried by ATP. ATP transfers energy from food molecules like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins during breakdown through the addition or removal of phosphate groups. Organisms produce ATP through breaking down carbon-based molecules, with carbohydrates yielding the most ATP per molecule broken down and fats yielding the most total energy stored. Some organisms obtain energy through chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis by using chemical energy instead of light to build carbon molecules.
Cells use active transport to move substances against their concentration gradient by using transport protein pumps powered by ATP. A cell also uses endocytosis and exocytosis to transport large materials or amounts of material in vesicles, with endocytosis importing materials into the cell and exocytosis exporting materials out of the cell. Both active transport and the movement of materials in vesicles require energy from the cell.
