US History Ch. 6 Section 2 Notes
Westward expansion had severe impacts on Native Americans. Increased conflicts with settlers led to violence as Native Americans and settlers viewed the land differently. The government forced Native Americans onto reservations to clear land for settlers, but disease, loss of buffalo herds, and broken treaties further undermined Native American cultures and ways of life. Attempts at resistance, like the Battle of Little Bighorn and Wounded Knee massacre, were ultimately crushed. Facing loss of their lands and traditions, the government aimed to assimilate Native Americans through the Dawes Act allotting private land and encouraging adoption of American customs.
The Civil War Begins
Brief Presentation about the opening and first battles of the Civil War. Followed by a little Common Core Practice. Accompanies section 11.1.
US History Chapter 12
1) Between 1790-1825, manufacturing grew in economic importance in the US and Americans began moving west across the Appalachians after Louisiana territory was explored, believing westward expansion was their "manifest destiny."
2) In the 1820s, President Monroe established the Monroe Doctrine, declaring US dominance in the Americas, as Americans pushed for more land and asserted nationalism.
3) In the 1840s, Britain and the US disputed ownership of the Oregon Territory until agreeing in 1846 on the 49th parallel border, while Americans also pushed Mexico out of Texas and the southwest through war and annexation of new lands.
Slavery & Secession
Brief presentation about the coming of the Civil War from 1856 - 1860. Including Lincoln-Douglas Debates, Dred Scott, Harpers Ferry, and the Election of 1860.
Protest, Resistance, and Violence
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 established that any new states admitted to the union would enter in pairs, with one being a slave state and one being a free state. It also drew a line at the 36°30' parallel, with slavery being permitted south of this line and prohibited north of it. The Compromise of 1850 introduced the concept of "popular sovereignty," allowing settlers in New Mexico and Utah territories to decide the status of slavery themselves. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required the return of escaped slaves and penalized those who helped fugitive slaves. This further increased tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War.
The North Takes Charge
Brief presentation on the end of the Civil War and major battles involved. For use with the Americans, Section 11.4.
Chapter 10 & 11

Chapter 12 powerpoint
America struggled with fears of communism after World War 1. The Red Scare and Palmer Raids targeted left-wing groups. Immigrants like Sacco and Vanzetti faced nativist sentiment. The Ku Klux Klan grew and advocated for limiting immigration with quotas. Labor unrest included major strikes in 1919. President Harding sought a return to "normalcy" but his administration was plagued by corruption scandals like Teapot Dome, and he died in office in 1923.
1920s presidential leadership notes
Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke in 1919 that weakened him. His wife unofficially took over presidential duties until Wilson's death in 1924. Warren Harding won the 1920 election promising normalcy after World War I and Wilson's support for the failed League of Nations. Harding had some successes but many of his appointees engaged in corruption, damaging his reputation. Calvin Coolidge finished Harding's term and won election in 1924, but his laissez-faire policies failed to prevent economic problems that led to the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover was president from 1929-1933, but the stock market crash occurred 8 months into his term and his preference for individualism over government assistance exacerbated the Depression.
Americans struggle with postwar issues
After World War I, Americans struggled with economic issues as soldiers faced unemployment and the economy slowed without wartime production. There was also social unrest as nativism and isolationism grew, fueled by fear of communism during the Red Scare and Palmer Raids. Immigrant workers like Sacco and Vanzetti faced discrimination, and quotas were established to limit immigration. Labor unrest increased as well, with major strikes in Boston and the steel industry, though unions ultimately failed to gain widespread appeal.
Chinese exc act
This document provides an overview of U.S. immigration policy from 1790 to the present. It discusses how stereotypes and fears influenced the development of exclusionary policies over time, from the Alien and Sedition Acts to the National Origins System and Bracero Program. While immigration was initially encouraged, the gold rush and increased immigration from Ireland and China led to nativist opposition. The document traces the implementation of the quota system in the 1920s, shifts in immigration demographics after 1965, and current debates around illegal immigration and proposed reforms.
Chinese Exclusion Act
The document summarizes key details about Chinese immigration and exclusion in America between the 1800s-present. It begins by outlining 5 essential questions about the timeline of Chinese immigration, what led to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, how Chinese immigrants were treated in the US, and if exclusion continues today. The document then provides short answers to each question, noting that Chinese immigrants first arrived in the 1800s for work, but faced discrimination and the 1882 Exclusion Act banning most Chinese immigration due to racism. It describes the poor treatment of Chinese in America and lingering effects of exclusion policies, though discrimination has decreased from its peak in the late 1800s.
Causes Of The Civil War
The document outlines several key events that increased sectional tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War:
1) The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 increased the demand for slave labor in the South.
2) The Mexican Cession of 1848 and Compromise of 1850 over whether to allow slavery in the new territories further divided the North and South.
3) Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852 portrayed the harsh realities of slavery and inflamed tensions by making slavery a moral issue.
4) The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 and Dred Scott decision of 1857 eliminated previous compromises on slavery, pushing the sections to a breaking point.

1920s transition america notes
After World War I, America saw many transitions as it moved from a rural, agricultural society to a more urban, industrial one. There was a shift from isolationism to internationalism, as well as a transition from a cash economy to one fueled by consumer credit. Socially and culturally, the country struggled with clashes between rural, traditional conservatives and urban, liberal reformers over issues like prohibition, women's changing roles, and new social norms. While some embraced modern flappers and new opportunities, others reacted by trying to preserve older values and restrict immigration and dissent. Overall, the postwar period was one of significant change and conflict as America adjusted to its new place in the world.
Causes of the Civil War power point worksheet
The document summarizes the key events and issues that led to the outbreak of the Civil War. It discusses the sectional divide between the North and South over slavery and states' rights issues, including the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Dred Scott decision, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Southern states beginning to secede in 1860-1861, and Lincoln's response calling for the preservation of the Union in his inaugural address.
Cause-Event-Effect
The document discusses several events from the early 1800s that increased tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery and led the nation toward civil war. Key events included the invention of the cotton gin which increased demand for slavery, debates over expanding slavery into new territories, the Dred Scott decision that upheld slavery, and Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 which caused several Southern states to secede from the Union. These sectional divisions and clashes over the issue of slavery grew increasingly bitter, ultimately leading to the outbreak of the Civil War with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in 1861.
Bleeding Kansas
Lecture/Presentation on the underground railroad, the Compromise of 1850, and the violence and bloodshed which erupted in the Kansas territory.
Civil War Catalysts
There were several events leading up to the Civil War that increased tensions over the issue of slavery:
1) The Missouri Compromise of 1820 attempted to regulate slavery in the Louisiana Purchase territories by prohibiting it north of the 36°30' parallel, but could not resolve the status of slavery in future territories.
2) The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 established the principle of "popular sovereignty" for determining slavery in the territories but led to violent clashes between pro- and anti-slavery settlers in "Bleeding Kansas."
3) John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, though a failure, polarized the nation and increased sectional tensions by portraying Brown as a mart

Chinese exclusion act 2
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first law implemented in the United States that restricted immigration based on race. It prohibited all Chinese laborers from entering the country for ten years under the premise of responding to anti-Chinese sentiment. The act was later extended by the Geary Act of 1892 and became permanent law by the 1904 extension. It was not repealed until 1943 and severely restricted the immigration and rights of Chinese people in America for over 60 years.
Causes of the civil war power point
The Civil War began due to longstanding tensions between the Northern and Southern states over the issues of slavery and states' rights. The Northern states relied on industry and opposed the expansion of slavery, while the Southern states relied on agriculture and the institution of slavery. Several attempts were made to reach compromises on the issues through political measures like the Compromise of 1850, but tensions continued to rise due to events like the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Kansas-Nebraska Act leading to violence in Kansas, and the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President as the first Republican candidate, and in response several Southern states seceded to form the Confederate States of America.
Coming of the Civil War Foldable
The document discusses several key events leading up to the American Civil War:
1) The Three-Fifths Compromise allowed Southern states to count slaves as three-fifths of a person for congressional representation, increasing their political power.
2) The Missouri Compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, but failed to settle the issue of slavery in the territories.
3) The Dred Scott decision found the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional and that blacks could not be citizens, validating slavery across the U.S.
Causes of the Civil War
The Civil War had many contributing causes over several decades relating to the issues of states' rights and slavery. Key events included the Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowing slavery in some new western territories, the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act as part of the Compromise of 1850 requiring Northern states to return escaped slaves, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which repealed the Missouri Compromise and led to violent conflicts over whether new states would allow slavery. Tensions continued to rise and finally erupted into war following South Carolina's secession from the Union after Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 and the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861.

Performance Poetry in the USA
Performance poetry has its roots in oral traditions but gained new life in the 20th century. The Beat poets popularized recording poetry performances, while the Nuyorican Poets Cafe created a space for live audiences. Poetry slams were founded in the 1980s as competitive live poetry events, helping make poetry more accessible. Slam poetry often focuses on personal identity and current issues, using rhythmic language and occasional music. Notable performance poets have included Gil Scott-Heron, whose proto-rap influenced hip hop, and Kevin Coval, who describes hip hop poetica as continuing ancestral narratives.
Native american literature
Native American literature encompasses oral and written works from many different Native American tribes and cultures. Oral traditions were an important part of passing down cultural knowledge through storytelling and songs. In recent times, more Native American authors have emerged writing novels, poetry, and essays that explore Native American identities and experiences.

Native american poetry
This document summarizes key aspects of Native American poetry and literature. It introduces influential Native American poets like Joy Harjo, Louise Erdrich, and Sherman Alexie. It discusses how Native American identity is complex and depends more on one's views than heritage. The context for Native American literature includes oral traditions of storytelling as well as early Native American writers. Sherman Alexie shares how finding the poem "Elegy for the Forgotten Oldsmobile" inspired him to become a poet and write openly about his Native American identity and experience.
Stereotypes and alternative lifestyles
This document discusses gender stereotypes presented in media and their effects. It describes common stereotypes of women as the supermom, sex kitten, body conscious, or fashion diva and of men as the joker, jock, big shot, or strong silent type. It notes stereotypes can also exist in toys, music, movies and other forms. The document outlines effects of stereotypes like discrimination, influencing self-perception, and lack of self-esteem. It prompts reflection on 1 Peter 2:17 and respect relating to stereotypes. Alternative lifestyles like goths, vampires, emos, and hippies are also discussed along with their media portrayal.
Alternative Lifestyles
Vegans do not consume any animal products and avoid using products tested on animals or containing animal ingredients, while vegetarians do not eat meat but may consume dairy and eggs. Going vegan or vegetarian benefits animals by reducing exploitation and inhumane treatment in the meat industry, benefits the planet by lowering greenhouse gas emissions compared to meat production, and benefits personal health by lowering risks of obesity, heart disease, and cancer. While taste preferences may make the transition difficult, many delicious meat-free recipes and alternatives exist, so researching and trying a plant-based diet can make both animals and the earth happier and healthier.
Native american indian code of ethics
The Code of Ethics of the American Indians can be summarized as follows:
1) Rise early to pray alone and often to the Great Spirit. Maintain tolerance for those who are lost and pray for their guidance.
2) Determine your own path alone through self-search; others can walk with you but not determine it for you.
3) Treat all guests with honor, respect their privacy, and do not take what is not yours from people, nature, or cultures.

Native Americans powerpoint
Native Americans lived in different environments across North America and developed distinct ways of life. In the East, they were fishermen and farmers and had early contact with European settlers. On the Great Plains, tribes like the Sioux hunted bison and had conflicts with pioneers in the 1800s. In the Pacific Northwest, coastal tribes relied on fishing and lived in longhouses, and the Inuit in the Arctic adapted to survive the harsh climate through activities like ice fishing. Southwestern tribes built homes and pots from clay and made jewelry. Most tribes shared beliefs about respecting nature, elders, and having a code of ethics to govern their relationships and interactions.

The fight for slavery in california
The document summarizes the fight over slavery in California in the mid-19th century. When California was acquired from Mexico in 1848 after the Mexican-American War, there was debate over whether it would enter the union as a slave state or free state. Miners flocking to California during the Gold Rush of 1849 favored excluding slavery. However, pro-slavery politicians in the South argued banning slavery in California was unconstitutional. This led to political clashes, including a 1859 duel where a pro-slavery politician killed an anti-slavery senator. California ultimately entered as a free state in 1850, aided by the population of settlers against slavery, though tensions continued between pro and anti-slavery factions for years.

The 1920s saw significant economic, social, and political changes in the United States. Economically, the country prospered after WWI as Europeans paid back loans and Germany paid reparations, while Henry Ford's assembly line made cars more affordable. Socially, new technologies like radios and movies became popular, and women gained more freedom as flappers. However, not all groups shared equally in prosperity, and the decade also saw a rise in nativism as expressed by the KKK's resurgence and passage of national origin quotas severely restricting immigration.

Hist 141 california a history
The document summarizes California's development from the late 19th century through the 20th century. It discusses how the state built infrastructure like irrigation systems, dams and aqueducts to support growth. It also covers the expansion of cities and industries, the growth of universities, and increasing diversity of the population. Labor issues are also discussed, like strikes in San Francisco in the early 1900s and among agricultural workers in the 1930s that led to new unions and reforms. Racial tensions are highlighted as well, with discussions of riots in Watts and LA along with immigration reforms.
Part 2 California and the Civil War
California played a pivotal role in events leading up to the Civil War. When gold was discovered, immigrants flooded to California and its miners wanted it to be a free state to avoid competing with slave labor. However, southern politicians tried to introduce slavery, with one proposal to split California into northern and southern regions and allow slavery in the south. This failed due to republican opposition. Tensions continued as southern politicians tried to expand slavery into new territories and filibuster attempts were made, tipping the balance of power toward the north and those favoring the confederacy.
California starr
Chapter 9 discusses California during WWII, when the US established itself as an Asia-Pacific power and Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Japanese immigrants were prohibited and later interned in camps. California servicemen fought in the war while social changes upended the roles of ethnic groups. After the war, California faced population and housing shortages. Chapter 13 discusses California politics shifting left in the 1960s with dissent and social movements like the Beats and hippies challenging values. Arnold Schwarzenegger was later elected to govern financially troubled, immigrant California.
California final
California has extremely diverse geography and climates due to tectonic plate collisions, ranging from the highest mountains to lowest elevations in the US. It also has high biodiversity, once home to the largest trees and variety of plant and animal life. The many native tribes that lived in California for over 25 generations exploited this diversity and had few conflicts due to ample resources. California also has highly diverse populations due to many immigration waves, and has struggled with resulting racial tensions manifested in events like the Watts riots and Proposition 187. The state was shaped by various social movements as well as natural and man-made disasters.

1) The Red Scare of 1919-1920 led Attorney General Palmer to conduct widespread raids on radicals led by J. Edgar Hoover. Over 250 people were arrested and deported.
2) In 1920, Italian immigrants Sacco and Vanzetti were accused of murder and robbery. Despite little evidence, they were convicted and executed in 1927 amid anti-immigrant sentiment.
3) Prohibition began in 1920 due to pressure from rural Protestant groups but failed due to widespread opposition and the rise of organized crime groups supplying illegal alcohol.
1920s
The 1920s were a period of conflict in the United States. Xenophobia against immigrants was widespread after World War 1 as returning soldiers struggled with competition for jobs. The Red Scare led to raids against communists and prejudice against many immigrant groups. Prohibition went into effect in 1919 due to pressure from temperance groups, but led to increased crime and corruption as underground alcohol markets emerged. Women gained the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920. The 1920s also saw economic growth under pro-business administrations.

The Immigrant stories: The Chinese immigrants to America
Three waves of migration marked Chinese immigration into the US. They migrated between the periods of 1849-1882, 1882-1965, and 1965 to the present. Each of these waves had its own propelling reason. [What were the specific reasons? You can identify these reasons and later elaborate on them. Maybe break down the various reasons for each of these periods of migration.] Chinese people were poor economically and during their period of migration, they were marked as being desperate to participate in any odd jobs including mining and building railways (Lee 150). The Chinese people migrated into China in steam ships and entered at San Francisco’s harbor which significantly was the first China town to be established in the US. The first immigrants from China were motivated to move to the US to improve their economic status, get exposure and have earned extra money through odd jobs that they would then send to their families in China.
The first wave of migration was that of the 1848 “Golden Mountain” legacy. During this period it was heard that gold had been discovered in the golden mountains of California. Naturally many other people came in to bag the benefits that they could reap (Najia 100). The Chinese people were no exception. The Chinese male immigrants also significantly contributed to the construction of the great western railway. The other prime motivation for their migration between the period of 1882 – 1965 was the civil war and the consequent drought which made sustaining their livelihood in China an almost impossibility. During this period some laws were made to prohibit the migration of Chinese into the US. They included the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 which restricted the entry of the Chinese people into the US, and the law required that any offenders of Chinese origin were to be imprisoned or deported back to their country Furthermore American citizenship was denied to those Chinese who were already living in the US. Presently Chinese immigrants come in the form of adoptees. These are orphans [All of them? Give me a statistical breakdown.] that get adopted by American families. It is estimated that the Americans have adopted more than fifty-five thousand children from 1991 and issued six thousand five hundred visas to the new breed of Chinese immigrants.
Challenges faced by the Chinese during their immigration periods
The 1871 Massacre
According to Johnson (585), the 1871 Chinese massacre was the largest attack and massacre in the history of the United States against any group of immigrants. It was the torturing and killing of people of the Chinese descent. Before this incident, there had been an abduction of a Chinese woman. This triggered the Chinese to retaliate and thereby killing a Native American. In a payback attempt, the people at the rail road came together to fight against the Chinese imm ...

Indian conquistadors
The document discusses how the Spanish conquest of the Americas was aided by native peoples in several ways:
1) The Spaniards' native allies greatly outnumbered the Spanish forces, sometimes by 5 to 1, and they accompanied the Spaniards on expeditions to help conquer other areas.
2) In addition to native warriors, the Conquistadors also relied on native guides, cooks, translators, and porters to help with conquering due to the lack of beasts of burden.
3) Cortez employed a conquest strategy of using each newly conquered city as a base to launch attacks on the next area, intimidating local peoples to maintain control with the help of native allies.
Longbow
The longbow was a key part of the powerful English military from the late 13th to 15th centuries, helping decide many battles, but it had drawbacks. It required extensive training time that people no longer had as harvesting took priority, and the wood needed was sometimes scarce. The introduction of firearms like the arquebus and advances in plate armor made longbowmen less effective, while the musket was easier to use and could penetrate armor, contributing to the decline of the longbow in England.
Starr
The document summarizes several chapters from the book "California" by Kevin Starr. It discusses the economic depression in California in the 1890s and the rise of labor unions and strikes in the early 20th century, including the General Strike of 1901 and the violent dock strike in San Diego led by the Industrial Workers of the World. It also describes increasing cultural diversity in California and discrimination against ethnic groups, as well as political tensions around issues of immigration and benefits for undocumented immigrants.

China is becoming increasingly powerful in the Asia-Pacific region and exerting greater economic and political influence over its neighbors. It manages regional issues pragmatically and does things only as needed. Countries like Japan, Korea, Australia and Singapore are gaining economic benefits through partnerships with China, though Singapore maintains some independence of influence. Malaysia has developed strong neutral ties that benefit it economically, while internal divisions have hurt stability in Indonesia. Burma is seeing growing Chinese immigration and investment, Thailand balances relationships well for benefits, and Vietnam risks becoming dependent on China after opening its borders.

Víctor Jara was a Chilean singer and songwriter who played a key role in establishing the New Chilean Song movement under Salvador Allende's government. However, during the 1973 Chilean coup, he was arrested, tortured and shot to death, becoming a symbol of the struggle for human rights in Latin America. Violeta Parra was also an activist in the movement and revived Peñas, centers for political and artistic expression that were banned after the 1973 coup. The Nueva canción movement led to a revival of folk music blended with rock elements in Latin America, especially Chile, but was halted when the new regime took power in 1973 following the coup.
