The document summarizes sectionalism in the United States from 1800-1860, focusing on divisions between the North, South, and West. The North's economy was based on industry and commercial farming, while the South's economy depended on slavery and the cotton industry. Sectional tensions increased over the issues of slavery's expansion into new western territories. Immigration strengthened the North's economy but also led to nativist sentiments against Catholic immigrants. The West experienced rapid expansion and settlement but also the dispossession of Native Americans.
This presentation was made to outline the effects of the Civil war. In an attempt to achieve this I felt the need to have a broad scope of topics. I know this conflicts with my outline critiques, but I felt like this would allow for a more effective powerpoint; instead of fewer topics and more fluffed out ideas.

Professor Mindi Sitterud-McCluskey
Westward Expansion
From the inception of the United States, the western frontier had been imbued with freedom and opportunity in the American mind as well as in the minds of many Europeans. The western frontier seemed to offer what the east coast and Western Europe did not by the mid-1800s: Land. Historically speaking, land signified empowerment. Land represented independence and opportunity, namely the possibility of becoming a truly “free man” through self-management, self-sufficiency, and claiming and benefitting fully from the product of one’s own labor.
Land figured prominently into the high ideals with which the American Revolution and Early Republic were imbued. For, to be a republic- for, by, and of the people, the United States would need to be a nation of truly free people. The United States seemed to have land enough to make this possible.
Empire of Liberty:
Inspired by republican notions of freedom, Thomas Jefferson had looked west and envisioned an “Empire of Liberty,” comprised of independent, self-sufficient, and self-managing small farmers.
Jefferson perceived agriculture as not just conducive to freedom but also uniquely virtuous. By contrast, he viewed the owning, investing, and banking class as corrupt and waged laborers as degraded, dependent and unfree.
Jefferson believed that by securing the western lands, the United States could better secure itself as a free republic and avoid the fate of industrial Britain: Armies of unfree wage-workers, “dark, satanic mills,” and urban slums.
Introduction
Inspired by republican notions of freedom and pushed by members of the working-class struggle and their abolitionist allies, the radical Republican Party of Lincoln passed the Homestead Act even as the Civil War entered its second year on the East Coast.
Homestead Act (1862)
Offered at least 160 acres of free western land to those who filed a claim, lived on the land for at least 5 years, and made improvements.
Open to anyone who had not taken up arms for the Confederacy, including women, blacks, and immigrants who had applied for citizenship
Goal: Rooted in republican notions of freedom, it intended to provide laboring people with land and, by extension, an opportunity to work their way into a condition of real freedom. It would be comparable to Washington DC, today, giving citizens the capital and resources needed to start a small business.
After being stalled by the southern states for years, the Pacific Railway Act also became passed by the Republicans as the war grinded on between the states in the east.
Pacific Railway Act: (1862)
The US government allocated unprecedent funds, grants, bonds and free land for the purpose of contracting with private capitalists to build a Transcontinental Railroad.
Westward Expansion
Transcontinental Railroad
Constructed between 1863-1869
Eastward construction began near San Francisco under the Central P.

Exploring Career Paths in Cybersecurity for Technical CommunicatorsBen Woelk, CISSP, CPTC
Brief overview of career options in cybersecurity for technical communicators. Includes discussion of my career path, certification options, NICE and NIST resources.
2. Sectionalism“The East, the West, the North, and the stormy South all combine to throw the whole ocean into commotion, to toss its billows to the skies, and to disclose it profoundest depths.” Daniel Webster, Marc 7, 1850 Seeds for sectionalism: U.S. was a nation w/a central government and a collection of semiautonomous, self-governing states Sectionalism-loyalty to a particular region.
3. The North Consisted of the Northeast (New England-ME, VT, NH, MA, CT, RI), the Mid-Atlantic (NY, NJ, DE, PA, MD) states and the Old Northwest (OH, IN, MO, IL, WI). Bound together by: Improved transportation High rate of economic growth based on commercial farming and industrial innovation Agriculture Most population-high birth rate and immigration
4. The North & Industry Centered in the textile industry but expanded in 1830 to include everything from farm equipment to clocks and shoes
5.
6. 1840’s & 50’s most states passed laws establishing 10hr daysLimitations on improvements: economic depressions, employers and courts hostile towards unions, abundant and cheap immigrant labor. The North & Organized Labor
7. Urban population grew from 5% in 1800 to 15 % by 1850. Results: Growth in cities, led to slums Crowded housing, poor sanitation, infectious diseases, high rate of crime became characteristic of large working-class neighborhoods. Opportunities drew native Am. from farms and immigrants The North & City Life
8. 250,000 lived in the North in 1860 (1% of the pop.) Represented 50% of all free African Am. No political or economic equality. Immigrants displace African Am. in jobs they held since the time of the Revolution. Denied membership of unions. The North & African Americans
9. Northwest states formed by land ceded to the national gov’t from NY &VA (Northwest ordinance 1787) Early 1800’s, unsettled frontier and relied on Mississippi to transport grain to southern markets By mid-century - tied to other northern states by the Indian Removal Act and building of canals an railroads that helped to establish common markets between the Great Lakes and East coast. Northwest & Agriculture
10. Grain crops-wheat and corn, profitable b/c inventions of steel plow and mechanical reaper Farmers more efficient & need less labor Grain used to feed cattle and hogs, supply distillers and brewers & for sale The Northwest & Agriculture
11. Key transportation towns grew into cities: Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis Served as transfer points; processed grain for shipment to East & distribution point for manufactured goods from the East The Northwest & New Cities
12. The North/Northwest & Immigration From 1830’s-1850’s nearly 4M people came from northern Europe 1820-~8,000 immigrants from Europe - 1832-50,000 yr 1854 -432,000 Most stayed in Boston, NY, & Philly; some went west; few went south b/c limited opportunities. Immigration a result of: Inexpensive & somewhat cheap transportation Famines & revolutions in Europe Reputation of US as a country offering economic opportunities and political freedom Benefit: strengthened US economy - providing cheap labor and increased demand for mass-produced consumer goods.
13. Irish Immigrants 50% of all immigrants came from Ireland Mostly tenant farmers left b/c potato famine Roman Catholic Competed with African Americans for domestic work and unskilled labor jobs Limited opportunities Congregated in northern cities (Boston, Philly, NY) Entered local politics, organized fellow immigrants, joined the Democratic party, i.e.-Tammany Hall1850 secured jobs & influence & by 1880’s controlled Democratic party’s organization
14. 1840-1850: 1 M+ come to U.S. b/c economic hardships & failure of democratic revolutions in own country Most had some money & skills as farmers & artisans Estab. in Old Northwest-farming; were prosperous Political influence limited but active in public life-supporters of public education & opponents of slavery. German Immigrants
15. Nativists- the “anti-immigrationists” Native-born Am.-didn’t like the large number of immigrants b/c job competition & feared they would subvert the majority Anglo culture. Nativists were Protestants that distrusted Roman Catholics (Irish and Germans) Led to rioting and antiforeign societies-Supreme order of the Star-Spangled Banner who nominated candidates for office under the American party or the Know-Nothing party. Slavery issue prevented the anti-foreign movement from taking hold. Sporadic revival of this movement whenever increase in immigration.
16. The South Included states that permitted slavery: VA(& WV), NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, MS, TN, AR, LA, OK & TX (as well as border states like DE, MD, KY, & MO) Agriculture Economy-cotton, tobacco, rice, sugarcane By 1850 small factories produced ~ 15% of nation’s manufactured goods King Cotton: Mechanized textile mills & Cotton Gin. Before 1860 world needed GB’s mills & Am. cotton fiber from SC & GA Planters moved west into AL, MS, LA & TX b/ needed more land to meet demand & the depletion of soil.
17. The South & Slavery aka-the “Peculiar Institution” Were property-bought & sold Early Am. justified as an economic necessity. Bu 19th century historical & religious arguments in support of slavery (Primary source: A Scriptural View) Cotton responsible for increase of slaves from 1M in 1800 to nearly 4M in 1860-natural births 7 thousands smuggled in defiance of 1808 law. 75% slave population in some southern states created strict slave codes on movement & education of slaves
18. Slavery-Economics, Life & Resistance Economics Majority field laborers; craftsmen, house servants, factory workers, construction gangs Sold from Upper South to Deep South of the lower MS Valley to cotton plantations. Value of a slave by 1860 ~$2K Result of investment in slavery: decreased available capital for the south to invest in industry, hence depended on north for manufactured goods. Life Living conditions varied; all denied freedom; families separated; women were sexually exploited. Maintained strong sense of family and religious faith Resistance Slowdowns, sabotage, escape 7 revolt Major uprisings: 1822 Denmark Vesey; 1831-Nat Turner; quickly and violently supressed Results: gave hope, strengthened slaved codes, showed evils of slavery
19. 1860-~250,000 free slaves in south Emancipated during the Am. Rev.; mulatto children freed by white fathers; self-purchase Lived in cities & own property Not equal to whites; could not vote; limited in job opportunities; free status always in danger-kidnapped by slave traders; show legal papers Remained in south to be near families in bondage; south their home; north offered no real opportunities for them. The South & Free African Americans
20. The South & White Society Rigid hierarchy: aristocratic planters-poor whites at the bottom Aristocracy-own at least 100 slaves, farm 1K acres; dominated state legislatures & enact laws favoring large landowner interests. Farmers-most slaveowners had less than 20 slaves & worked several hundred acres, produced most of the cotton crop, worked w/slaves & lived modestly Poor Whites-3/4th of white pop. in south; defend slave system in hopes they could own slaves one day and move up the social scale. Mountain People-lived along the Appalachian & Ozark mountains; disliked the planters & their slaves; loyal to the union Cities-few major cities; New Orleans 5th largest in 1860; Atlanta, Charleston, Chattanooga, & Richmond important southern trading centers but small pop. Compared to N. cities.
21. Southern Thinking Cotton basis of economy, slavery focus of political thought; felt isolated and defensive about slavery as north hostile & GB, FR, & other European nations outlawed it. Code of chivalry-aristocratic planter class-like a feudal society; southern men & personal honor, defense of womanhood, paternalistic treatment of all who were deemed inferior, esp. slaves Education-valued college education; acceptable professions-farming, law, ministry & military. Lower classes not educated past elementary; slaves not educated. Religion – slavery affected church membership; Methodist & Baptist increased while Unitarian declined because against slavery. Catholics & Episcopalians neutral, decline in membership.
22. The West Definitions 1600’s – all lands not along the Atlantic coast 1700’s-lands on the other side of the Appalachian Mts. Mid-1800’s-beyond the MS River to Cali & Oregon Territory Native Americans-increasingly pushed westward; by 1850 majority lived west of MS River; life on the plains-horses allowed tribal groups to follow buffalo, avoid settlers or oppose them. The Frontier-represented the possibility for a fresh start, new opportunities, “greater freedom” for all ethnic groups Mountain Men-followed Lewis & Clark 7 trapped furs, serve as guides & pathfinders for settlers moving west. White Settlers- hard life; women:served many roles to meet needs of frontier life; short life span; environment: cleared forests, exhausted the soil; decimated beaver & buffalo until almost extinct.
