The pre civil war south ppt
The South's economy was based almost entirely on agriculture, especially cotton, grown with slave labor. The Deep South states relied heavily on cotton, rice and sugarcane plantations. Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin in 1793 boosted cotton production and the demand for slaves. Most Southern whites were small farmers while a minority owned large plantations with many slaves. The rural poor lived in poverty. African Americans preserved elements of their culture while also experiencing oppression through slave codes. Nat Turner's rebellion in 1831 was an example of slave resistance, though violent revolts were rare. Southern cities developed along waterways and railroads.

Their assistance was likely integral to the degree of success the Spanish achieved.

1) The 13 colonies gained independence from Great Britain through war tactics despite being outnumbered, after heavy British taxation following the French and Indian War led to unrest.

WWI on the American Home Front
The government took several steps to finance World War 1 and manage the economy on the American home front. It issued Liberty Bonds that were sold to the public to fund 1/4 of the war's costs. It also established agencies like the War Industries Board to direct industrial production towards the war effort and manage prices.

The war also changed lives by causing labor shortages that opened opportunities for women and African Americans to enter the workforce.
World_Themes: Manifest Destiny
Manifest Destiny was a 19th century belief that American settlers had a divine right to expand westward across North America. This ideology contributed to U.S. territorial expansion through the Louisiana Purchase, annexation of Texas, and Oregon Territory, which more than doubled the size of the country. It also helped provoke the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848, after which the U.S. acquired vast new lands in the Southwest, including California.

The French and Indian War helped the colonies unite against a common enemy and produced leaders like Washington and Franklin. However, Britain's attempts to tax the colonies to repay war debts without representation led to growing tensions.
The American people
The document provides information on the different groups of people that make up the American population throughout history. It discusses the Native Americans as the original inhabitants, followed by groups like the British, African Americans, and immigrants from various parts of Europe and Asia at different time periods. It also explores concepts like the "melting pot" view of a shared American culture versus the "mosaic" view of maintaining separate cultural identities within the nation.

The american colonies
The Puritans settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts in the 1620s after failing to reform the Church of England, seeking to establish a "city on a hill" as a moral example. While colonies differed, colonial elites saw themselves as British and modeled colonial governance on the British system. However, the term "American" was used pejoratively in Britain to refer to colonists as inferior. This attitude fueled calls for equal treatment and representation, contributing to the American Revolution. In New England, Puritan communities divided land amongst proprietors and all white men had a voice and land, though church membership was limited to the "elect."

Freemen Blacks in Colonial America
African American Freemen came from various backgrounds such as freed slaves, immigrants from the West Indies and Cuba, and those from the Louisiana Purchase. They made up the colonial population in parts of the North and South, enjoying rights similar to other colonists. However, in the late 1700s, white supremacy began limiting their freedoms and preventing them from certain occupations and education. By the 1800s, free black communities achieved some wealth and social involvement, though the majority lived in poverty. Some became prosperous business owners and inventors, contributing to the early African American middle class. Their political involvement and representation varied between the North and South as slavery expanded.
