The document discusses the market revolution and manifest destiny in the mid-1800s United States. It describes how the growth of factories, mills, and transportation infrastructure like canals and railroads led to a market revolution where goods were produced for wider commercial markets rather than local self-sufficiency. It also discusses how the concept of manifest destiny and westward expansion led many Americans to believe it was their destiny to settle from coast to coast, which resulted in treaties with Native Americans and the establishment of trails like the Santa Fe and Oregon trails to facilitate westward migration.

The Market Revolution
By the 1850s, the market revolution had transformed the United States into a highly productive industrial nation. Innovations in transportation like canals, railroads, and steamships expanded markets and allowed for widespread trade. As markets grew, manufacturing expanded and many workers left rural farms for urban factory jobs. While economic growth benefited entrepreneurs, workers often faced poor conditions, low pay, and discrimination. They began organizing unions to demand better treatment, though met resistance from employers and courts.
The Market Revolution
The document summarizes key developments in American society in the early 19th century, including:
1) The growth of the market economy and industrialization starting with Eli Whitney's cotton gin and the establishment of textile mills in Lowell, Massachusetts.
2) Advances in transportation including turnpikes, canals like the Erie Canal, steamboats, and the beginning of the railroad system.
3) Improvements in communication such as the telegraph that began connecting the country.
4) Increasing urbanization as the population became less rural and more concentrated in cities.
Hw#27 industrialization
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain and spread to the United States in the early 19th century, fueled by available investment capital. Factories and mills proliferated in northern US states, which had natural resources like iron and coal and access to rivers for transportation. The US Civil War further accelerated industrialization as both sides needed weapons and supplies. After the war, the transcontinental railroad and waves of immigration connected markets and provided workers, driving continued economic growth and establishing America as a major industrial power.

Henry Hudson was the first to recognize the potential of the harbor while exploring for a passage to China in 1609. The first Dutch colonists arrived in 1624 to establish a permanent settlement and capitalize on the harbor for business. The colony was owned and operated by the powerful Dutch West India Company. In 1825, the Erie Canal opened, proving pivotal to New York's growth by connecting its harbor to the Midwest and spurring western expansion and development.

New york and urbanization
1) In the early 19th century, New York City had a population of less than 170,000 people and was a small, orderly rural community. However, with the construction of the Erie Canal and influx of immigrants, especially Irish fleeing the potato famine, New York grew rapidly to over 1 million residents by the 1850s and became a large, industrialized city.
2) The influx of poor Irish immigrants led to overcrowded slums with disease and poor living conditions, especially in neighborhoods like Five Points. This led to social tensions and the infamous 1863 Draft Riots.
3) By the late 19th century, New York had consolidated with surrounding cities and counties to form the five boroughs of New
Henry clay's american system
Henry Clay proposed the American System, which aimed to promote economic development across all sections of the United States. The American System included protective tariffs to encourage domestic manufacturing, a national bank to stabilize the currency, and federal funding for internal improvements like roads, canals, and railroads to facilitate transportation and commerce. While the American System helped modernize the nation's infrastructure and economy, it also exacerbated sectional tensions between the industrial North and agricultural South by benefiting some regions more than others.
Chapter 19 section 2 Post-war America
After WWII, many Americans migrated to the newly built suburbs and Sunbelt states. The rise of the suburbs was fueled by the demand for housing and availability of low-interest home loans for veterans. The construction of the interstate highway system and rise of car ownership facilitated suburban expansion. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy transitioned from manufacturing to service-based, more women joined the workforce, and franchise businesses and multinational corporations grew. Higher education also expanded across the country during this period of social and economic transformation in 1950s America.

1. New York City began as New Amsterdam, founded by the Dutch in 1624 as a trading post for furs. It was later captured by the English and renamed New York.
2. In the early 20th century, New York saw tremendous growth and became a global economic center, but the Great Depression devastated the city, with 1/3 of residents losing their jobs.
3. Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and Robert Moses worked to rebuild the city through new parks, schools and infrastructure, though their policies exacerbated racial tensions and inequality.
American urbanization and new york city
The document summarizes the history and development of New York City from its origins as a Dutch trading post called New Amsterdam in the 1600s. It discusses how New York grew into a major city and economic center under British rule after 1700. In the 1800s, figures like Alexander Hamilton, John Astor, Dewitt Clinton, and Theodore Roosevelt helped develop New York's economy and infrastructure, expanding the city through the acquisition of surrounding areas. The document also briefly outlines the growth of Chicago in the late 1800s, fueled by industry and the development of skyscrapers.
Life at turn of century
By the turn of the 20th century, four out of ten Americans lived in cities where skyscrapers and electric rail systems were emerging to accommodate rapid urbanization. Racial discrimination was also widespread and legalized through Jim Crow laws and Plessy v. Ferguson, while new technologies like airplanes, movies, and mass media began connecting and entertaining the nation.
Unit 5.4 political reform
The old British electoral system was unfair, with only 400,000 of a population of 16 million able to vote in 1832. Rotten boroughs allowed landowners to choose MPs despite few or no residents. The Great Reform Act of 1832 expanded suffrage to more wealthy men and abolished rotten boroughs. However, the Chartist movement demanded further reforms, including universal male suffrage. Full male suffrage was achieved in 1884, while women obtained suffrage in the early 20th century due to activists like Emmeline Pankhurst.
The Roaring Twenties
The Roaring Twenties was a decade of economic prosperity and mass production in the United States following World War I. New industries like automobiles and radios grew rapidly due to affordable mass production. However, the passage of Prohibition led to the rise of bootleggers and speakeasies, and many Americans took on debt they could not repay, foreshadowing the Great Depression. Politically, the era was dominated by Republican presidents Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. Socially, lifestyles became more urban and focused on leisure, though traditional rural values still held sway for many Americans.
Colonial Documents
This document summarizes several important colonial documents that influenced the development of self-government in the American colonies:
The First Virginia Charter granted the Virginia Company authority to govern its own colony, setting a precedent where the king delegated power to others. The Mayflower Compact established the first governing agreement and basis for law in the Plymouth colony. The Charter of the Massachusetts Bay Colony allowed Puritans to control the colony by bringing the charter with them from England. The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut established the first written constitution and the idea that governmental authority comes from the consent of the people, not outside powers like the king. Finally, the Maryland Toleration Act protected freedom of religion by allowing Catholics to practice without persecution.

New industries like automobiles and radios grew rapidly due to innovations in mass production, while prohibition led to the rise of bootleggers and speakeasies. Socially, the era saw both traditional and modern values as lifestyles like that of the "flappers" challenged social norms, though most women still faced restrictions. Politically, the nation was led by three successive Republican presidents between 1920-1930 amidst social tensions over civil liberties from the Red Scare and rise of the Ku Klux Klan.
Unit 1 notes 2
The document outlines the key differences between the North and South in the United States prior to the Civil War. The North was more urban, industrial, and had railroads, factories, immigrants, and no slavery, while the South was more rural, agricultural, relied on cotton, had little industry and railroads, few immigrants, and legal slavery. It then discusses the Compromise of 1850 which admitted California as a free state but also strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act, causing tensions over the issue of slavery in new western territories to increase.
Chapter7immigrantsandurbanization
The document discusses immigration and urbanization in late 19th and early 20th century America. Millions of immigrants arrived from Europe and Asia during this period seeking opportunity but faced difficult journeys and had to pass inspections at places like Ellis Island. Most immigrants settled in cities where they faced overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and the rise of political machines that helped new arrivals in exchange for votes. Reformers worked to improve conditions for immigrants through organizations like settlement homes.
Washington final ppt
Washington D.C. is the capital city of the United States located between Maryland and Virginia. It was established in 1790 and named after George Washington. The city has a total area of 68.3 square miles with a population of over 600,000. As the seat of the U.S. federal government, many of the city's most prominent buildings and monuments are located along the National Mall, including the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. The city uses a grid street system laid out by Pierre L'Enfant in the 18th century.
Urbanization & New York City by Miguel Cardena
New York City has experienced significant changes throughout history. The Great Depression in the 1930s halted construction and many lost their homes and lived on the streets. In the 1930s, there were also race riots after a teenage boy was beaten for shoplifting, resulting in 3 deaths and hundreds injured and $2 million in damages. Robert Moses transformed New York City in the mid-20th century by building bridges, tunnels, roadways, and changing shorelines which remains controversial. Immigration influenced many American cities as ethnicities migrated to specific locations and women often worked for low wages as housewives and mothers.
Final ct power point
Connecticut was one of the original 13 colonies and became a state on January 9, 1788. It was first inhabited by Native American tribes and later settled by colonists from Massachusetts seeking religious freedom. The colony grew as more settlers purchased land from the Native Americans and established permanent settlements along the Connecticut River. Religion played a major role in colonial Connecticut society, with the Puritan faith initially being the only legal religion. The economy relied on agriculture, fishing, and industries like shipbuilding and fur trading.
Qing Dynasty China 19th Century
China faced increasing foreign domination and internal instability in the 19th century. The Opium Wars forced China to open ports to foreign trade and cede Hong Kong to Britain. Western powers imposed unequal treaties on China and established spheres of influence. The Taiping and Boxer Rebellions weakened the Qing dynasty. Reform efforts like the Self-Strengthening Movement and Hundred Days of Reform achieved only limited success. This instability led to the establishment of the Republic of China in 1911 under Sun Yixian, ending over 2000 years of imperial rule. However, the new republic still faced immense challenges, including foreign encroachment and domestic unrest.

The document is a study guide for a test covering early South Carolina history from the colonial period. It lists 43 multiple choice or short answer questions about topics like the Proprietary and Royal governments of South Carolina, the development of rice and indigo agriculture, slavery and the slave trade, and slave rebellions like the Stono Rebellion. It asks about ethnic groups like the Scots-Irish settlers of the backcountry and enslaved Africans, as well as political movements like the Regulator Movement.
Chapter 9 - American History
The document summarizes the Market Revolution and westward expansion in the United States between 1800-1850. It describes how new technologies like the steamboat, telegraph, and railroads facilitated the growth of markets and specialization of agriculture. This encouraged more settlement westward under the ideology of Manifest Destiny. Tensions arose as settlers pushed into Native American lands and later into Texas, which was still part of Mexico, leading to the war between the U.S. and Mexico and the acquisition of western territories by the U.S.
Chapter 9 group presentation
The chief goal of American expansionists in the 1800s was to spread "American ideals" and values by expanding U.S. territory across North America, driven by the belief of Manifest Destiny that God intended the U.S. to control the entire continent. Expansionists first emerged after the American Revolution and pushed for acquiring Oregon Country and other lands. Key events furthering expansion included the election of James K. Polk on a platform of acquiring Oregon and settling the border with Britain.

THE IMPENDING CRISIS
· LOOKING WESTWARD
· EXPANSION AND WAR
· THE SECTIONAL DEBATE
· THE CRISES OF THE 1850s
LOOKING AHEAD
1. How did the annexation of western territories intensify the conflict over slavery and lead to deeper divisions between the North and the South?
2. What compromises attempted to resolve the conflicts over the expansion of slavery into new territories? To what degree were these compromises successful? Why did they eventually fail to resolve the differences between the North and the South?
3. What were the major arguments for and against slavery and its expansion into new territories?
UNTIL THE 1840s, POLITICAL TENSIONS between the North and the South remained relatively contained and, other than African American writers and clerics, few predicted that sectional tensions could ever lead the country into a civil war.
But midcentury brought a rash of explosive issues that politicians struggled—and ultimately failed—to resolve peacefully. In the North the abolitionist movement picked up steam and inspired legions of supporters, the most aggressive of whom sought to fight slavery with the sword as well as the pen. The South birthed a generation of militant pro-slavery spokesmen who brooked no compromise over a state’s right to embrace slavery and the society based on it. From the West emerged raging controversies over the political fate of the territories and whether they would enter the Union as either slave or free states. Partisans recruited sympathizers from across the nation and even took up arms to win their point.LOOKING WESTWARD
More than a million square miles of new territory came under the control of the United States during the 1840s. By the end of the decade, the nation possessed all the territory of the present-day United States except Alaska, Hawaii, and a few relatively small areas acquired later through border adjustments. Many factors accounted for this great new wave of expansion, but one of the most important was an ideology known as Manifest Destiny.

Manifest Destiny reflected both the growing pride that characterized American nationalism in the mid-nineteenth century and the idealistic vision of social perfection that fueled so much of the reform energy of the time. It rested on the idea that America was destined—by God and by history—to expand its boundaries over a vast area.
By the 1840s, publicized by the rise of inexpensive newspapers dubbed “penny press,” the idea of Manifest Destiny had spread throughout the nation. Some advocates of Manifest Destiny envisioned a vast new “empire of liberty” that would include Canada, Mexico, Caribbean and Pacific islands, and ultimately (for the most ardent believers) much of the rest of the world. Countering such bombast were politicians such as Henry Clay and others, who warned that territorial expansion would reopen the painful controversy over slavery. Their voices, however, could not compete with the enthusiasm over expansion in the 18 ...
Ch11 13study guide-answers
The document provides study guide questions about several topics in American history including the fur trade, Mormon migration, the Texas Revolution, westward expansion, the Industrial Revolution, cotton gin, slavery, and telegraph. It asks about key people, events, innovations, economic factors, and social aspects related to these historical periods and issues.
Westward expansion(1)
Westward expansion in the United States between 1790-1850 was driven by the availability of fertile land in Oregon, the suitability of Texas for ranching and cotton farming, and the belief in Manifest Destiny. This led to key events like the annexation of Texas, the Oregon Treaty dividing Oregon with Britain, gains from the Mexican-American War, and the Gadsden Purchase. Gold discoveries in California also stimulated westward migration.
13manifest destiny
- The document discusses the Oregon Country in the early 1800s, which included modern-day Oregon, Washington, Idaho, parts of Montana and Wyoming. It was claimed by the United States, Great Britain, Spain, and Russia.
- Americans began migrating west to the Oregon Country in large numbers in the 1840s due to reports of fertile land and poor economic conditions back east. They traveled along routes like the Oregon Trail using covered wagons called "prairie schooners."
- The idea of "Manifest Destiny," that the US was destined to stretch from coast to coast, fueled American desires to control the Oregon Country and motivated politicians like James K. Polk during the 1844 presidential election.
Sectionalism
The Jacksonian Era saw an expansion of voting rights to include more white male citizens. This increased the power of the common man. Views of women and African Americans were that they were inferior. Women were expected to focus on domestic duties while politics were for men. Many whites believed African Americans were incapable of reasoning or education. Caricatures reinforced racial stereotypes. Sectionalism between the North and South increased over issues like the national bank and tariffs. The North industrialized while the South's economy was based on cotton and slavery spread with the cultivation of cotton.

First, Native Americans originally migrated to North America across the Bering Land Bridge millions of years ago. Europeans then began arriving in the late 1500s from Britain, France, and Spain to settle along the Atlantic coast and in the southern and southwestern US and northern areas for land, minerals, and freedom. The 13 British colonies gained independence from Britain through the Revolutionary War between 1775-1783, forming the United States. Other British colonies in Canada became the self-governing Dominion of Canada in 1867. Both countries expanded westward in the 1800s, transformed by industrialization powered by waterfalls and coal, and the growth of cotton agriculture and railroads.
A new nation
The document summarizes key events in the westward expansion of the United States in the early to mid-19th century. It discusses the rapid population growth in the new nation between 1780-1830, the rise of Manifest Destiny and belief in American exceptionalism. It also describes the Oregon Treaty of 1818, settlement of the Oregon Territory by Mountain Men, and the thousands of pioneers who made the overland journey along the Oregon Trail between 1840-1860. The document outlines the Mexican Cession following the Mexican-American War and Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, as well as the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 which completed US control of the western territories.
Territorial expansion
The document discusses American expansion and settlement in the trans-Mississippi West between 1815-1848. It describes how Spanish and Mexican control of the region gave way to American annexation of Texas and conquest of territory in the Mexican-American War. The ideology of Manifest Destiny and the Oregon dispute with Britain also contributed to U.S. territorial growth. Settlers moved West for economic opportunities like fur trading, land speculation, and the California Gold Rush. Their arrival introduced conflicts with Native peoples over resources and cultural differences.
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.
Ch 13 A House Divided
Manifest Destiny promoted American expansion across North America from the 1840s-1850s. It was the idea that the US was destined to expand from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This contributed to the annexation of Texas, Oregon Territory, and Mexican Cession after the Mexican-American War. Westward migration then increased, including the California Gold Rush. Tensions rose as new territories could become slave or free states. The Compromise of 1850 temporarily postponed the issue but the Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise, further dividing the nation. The Republican Party emerged opposing the expansion of slavery. John Brown's raid and the Dred Scott decision heightened tensions until Lincoln's election in 1860 led the Deep South to

Events that led_to_the_american_civil_war
The document summarizes key events that led to the American Civil War:
1. Economic and political tensions grew between the industrial North and agricultural South. The North opposed slavery's expansion while the South defended it.
2. The Mexican-American War and subsequent territorial acquisitions exacerbated tensions over the balance of slave and free states.
3. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, and Dred Scott decision further polarized the nation on the issue of slavery in the territories.
4. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president as the first Republican, prompting Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.

Westward Expansion in America
Westside expansion has always been the talk of the United States of America. The expansion began along the Eastern Coast and continued until to the Pacific despite it going through bounds and leaps. This was described by Theodore as a great leap towards the west (Quay and Sara 257). Even before the colonized states in America had not won independence in the Revolutionary war against Britain, settlers had already begun migrating towards the west into the states that are today known by the name Tennessee and Kentucky; they also moved to the Deep Southern part and parts of the valley known as Ohio. The expansion of the Westside was greatly influenced by the Louisiana Purchase which took place in the year 1803. The 1812 war caused the securing of the boundaries of the United States and defeated Old Northwest tribes. The removal act of Indians which took place in 1830 caused the forcefully moving of all Indians to the what are now known as the states of Oklahoma and Arkansas on a journey which was named the Trail of Tears (Quay and Sara 257). The term “Manifest Destiny” a belief that American institutions and Americans are superior and therefore, Americans had the obligations of spreading these institutions with the aim of helping people get freed from the European Colonization, was in 1945 coined by a journalist known by the name John O’Sullivan.
Expansion towards the west side was greatly assisted by the finishing of the Transcontinental Railroad in the year 1869b and the Homestead Act passage which took place in 1862 (Quay and Sara 257). This act was responsible for giving a 160-acre land to someone who would file a claim, build a home on the land for five years and in turn make improvements on the land. The Gre ...
6.2 an era of growth and disunion 1825-1877
The document discusses how technological advancements like the cotton gin, railroads, and telegraphs impacted the American economy and culture in the 1800s. It led to expanded markets, specialization in agriculture, and a market revolution as people began buying and selling goods rather than producing them themselves. These changes accelerated economic growth and depended on private investment and entrepreneurship in a growing capitalist system.
Ch17 Notes
Manifest Destiny assumed that God had granted all land between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to the United States. Thousands settled in Texas in the 1840s and traveled west on the dangerous Oregon Trail. Settlers displaced Native Americans who had lived on the Great Plains for centuries. James K. Polk was elected in 1844 on a pro-expansion platform and sought to acquire California and Texas from Mexico. When Mexico refused to sell California, tensions rose and Polk provoked war by sending troops to the Rio Grande, allowing him to acquire these territories in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.
How the Americas Change: The Long 19th Century
The document discusses several topics related to the history of the Americas in the 19th century:
1) Chinese immigrants migrated to the US in the mid-19th century to mine for gold, leading to mass migration and economic growth. Slavery ended after the Civil War.
2) Canada repelled US incursions during the War of 1812, giving Canadians a sense of national pride. John A. Macdonald helped unite British North America and expand Canada's infrastructure.
3) Latin America experienced instability, conflict, and lack of representation throughout the 19th century. The Mexican Revolution addressed peasants' and workers' concerns.

Encounters of the "Fourth Kind"
This document discusses the phenomenon of alien abductions, providing examples of reported abduction cases and experiences. It outlines common characteristics of described abductions, including human subjects being taken aboard crafts and examined by short, large-headed creatures.
