The direct primary is now the principal nominating method in the US, allowing open participation by voters through open or closed primaries. Some candidates also use petitions as a nominating device by gathering voters' signatures to qualify for the ballot.

Presidential selection and nominations
The document discusses the original process for electing the U.S. president established by the framers of the Constitution, how political parties emerged and changed this process, and the modern presidential nomination process. Originally, the framers intended electors to cast two votes for president and the top vote getter would win, with the runner up becoming vice president. However, the rise of political parties in the 1790s revealed flaws, leading to the 12th Amendment being passed in 1804 to have electors distinctly vote for president and vice president. Now, the two major parties hold nominating conventions where delegates choose a presidential candidate based on primary elections and caucuses held by the states.

Abraham lincoln
Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lincoln had a son, Abraham Lincoln, in 1809 in Kentucky. Abraham worked various jobs as a young man and became a lawyer in Illinois. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1846 and advocated for the abolition of slavery. Elected as the first Republican president in 1860, Lincoln led the country during the Civil War and issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, freeing slaves in rebel states. On April 14, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater in Washington D.C., dying the next morning.
Prohibition
The document provides information about key events and aspects of the 1920s in the United States, with a focus on Prohibition. It discusses how the 18th Amendment prohibited the sale and manufacture of alcohol nationwide from 1920 to 1933, which was very unpopular. It also notes that people found ways to circumvent the law by purchasing illegal liquor or making their own alcohol. The monument depicted appears to memorialize resistance to Prohibition, referencing John Barleycorn and dates relevant to the enactment and repeal of Prohibition.
Rise of big business 1860 1900
From 1860-1900, the United States became an economic superpower due to its vast natural resources, booming population from immigration, a pro-business government, and American ingenuity. Innovations like the Bessemer process and widespread use of steel facilitated the construction of skyscrapers and bridges. Industrialists like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and others consolidated their industries vertically and horizontally, forming trusts and monopolies to maximize profits despite facing criticism for harsh treatment of workers. This period of rapid industrialization and economic growth also saw the rise of big cities, labor issues, and concerns over the power of large corporations.
Shays rebellion reading
1) Daniel Shays, a former soldier, struggled financially after the Revolutionary War due to high taxes imposed by the Massachusetts government to pay war debts. He led a rebellion called Shays' Rebellion to protest these taxes.
2) In 1786, Shays and thousands of armed rebels known as "Regulators" marched on courthouses to try and stop debt collections and tax enforcement. They were able to shut down courts but were later defeated by government forces.
3) In January 1787, Shays led over 1,000 rebels in an attack on the federal arsenal in Springfield to seize weapons, but they were repelled by cannon and musket fire, with several rebels killed or wounded. This
Delegates
George Washington will serve as President of the Convention to keep order and direct debate. James Madison will serve as Secretary to take notes. Their duties are outlined. Delegates are assigned roles that represent different states and positions on issues like federal power and slavery. The document outlines beliefs held by each delegate that will guide their participation in the debates.
Articles of confetti
The Articles of Confederation had several severe problems:
- The national government had no ability to tax states, collect revenue, or engage in war. Each state acted independently.
- There was no unified currency, trade was restricted between states, and the judicial system varied between states.
- Congress had one equal vote for each state regardless of population size, and there was no executive branch to enforce laws.
- Amendments required approval of all 13 states, so the Articles were difficult to change. Overall, the Articles created a weak national government and the United States operated more as a confederation of independent states.
Patriot games
The document summarizes key events and people in the American Revolutionary War from 1775-1783, including the battles of Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Trenton and Saratoga, and Valley Forge. It discusses the British shifting their focus to the South in 1778 due to loyalist support. General Nathaniel Greene used hit-and-run tactics against the British in the South. The document also summarizes the decisive American victory at Yorktown in 1781 and the terms of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which granted independence to the United States. It analyzes the impacts of the war on loyalists, slaves, and women's roles.
The hill has_eyes
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775 on Breed's Hill, where 1500 colonial militia had constructed an earthwork fortification overnight. The British, led by General Howe and with 2400 troops, made three assaults on the colonial position. Though the colonists were eventually forced to retreat due to running low on ammunition and lacking experience in hand-to-hand combat, they inflicted heavy casualties on the British troops during their frontal assaults. While the British maintained control of the battlefield, the victory came at such a high cost that it bolstered the confidence of the colonists and showed that colonial militia could stand up to the superior British forces.
Indepence day
The document discusses the events surrounding the signing and adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It summarizes that the Second Continental Congress organized in Philadelphia to debate independence from Britain, with delegates deeply divided on pursuing peace or independence. Thomas Paine's pamphlet "Common Sense" rallied colonists to accept independence. The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776, declaring American sovereignty and notifying the King that the colonies considered themselves independent.
Down in the_valley
During the winter of 1777-78, the British Army was stationed comfortably in Philadelphia while Washington's Continental Army suffered through the harsh winter at Valley Forge. Over 2,000 soldiers died from disease and exposure, but General Von Steuben helped transform the untrained army. Though no battle occurred at Valley Forge, it was considered an American victory because the Continental Army emerged better trained and prepared under Washington's leadership.
Desperate continentals
Washington attacks the Hessians in Trenton, New Jersey on December 26th, 1776 in a surprise victory. He then crosses the Delaware River again and attacks Princeton, New Jersey, winning another battle. These victories boost American morale and support for the colonial cause. Meanwhile, Burgoyne's British forces are stopped at Saratoga, New York in 1777, forcing his entire army to surrender in a major defeat for the British.
Cowpens sand table
The Battle of Cowpens took place in South Carolina in 1778. The slightly undulating battlefield was open with spaced out trees. The American general placed approximately 1,000 militia and Continental soldiers on a crest with the militia in front. Around 150 yards ahead was a thinner militia line as scouts. The British had around 1,100 infantry and cavalry lined up in two lines facing the Americans, with cannons in the center. The Broad River was about 3 inches wide on the map grid, while smaller rivers were 1-2 inches wide. The hills were flat topped with gradual slopes and some rocky areas.
Leaders of the revolution (2)
This document provides a guide to important people, events, and battles of the Revolutionary War. It includes notes on British generals William Howe and Charles Cornwallis, King George III, and the traitor Benedict Arnold. American heroes discussed are Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Nathaniel Greene. Minutemen, the colonial militia who were ready to fight in a minute's notice, are also mentioned. Maps, a timeline, and materials for a Revolutionary War game are included to aid understanding of this pivotal time period.
Rev war timeline and maps
The American Revolution timeline document summarizes important events from 1775 to 1783. It describes early battles such as Lexington and Concord in 1775 where the Revolutionary War began, the Battle of Bunker Hill where Americans surrounded Boston, and Washington's Christmas Day surprise attack on Hessian mercenaries in Trenton, New Jersey in 1776. It also discusses the pivotal American victory at Saratoga in 1777 that convinced France to ally with the rebels, and the eventual siege of Yorktown in 1781 that forced British General Cornwallis to surrender, effectively ending major fighting in the Revolutionary War.
Pest control
The document discusses sovereignty over the American colonies as tensions rose between Great Britain and the colonies. It explains that Britain maintained legal sovereignty but its actual control was weakening as the colonies grew more autonomous. As Britain tried to reassert control through taxes and laws, the colonies began to unite in opposition to taxation without representation. This growing conflict came to a head with events like the Boston Massacre, increasing tensions and pushing the colonies closer to revolution for independence from British rule.
Anger management
The document summarizes Britain's changing policies towards its American colonies from the mid-17th century to the 1770s. It begins with a policy of "salutary neglect", where Britain left the colonies alone as long as they were profitable. However, after the French and Indian War, Britain adopted a more controlling "hands on" approach to try to pay off war debts and manage its lands. This included passing new taxes like the Stamp Act to directly tax the colonies, leading to protests by colonists who argued they were being taxed without representation.
Iced tea
The document summarizes the events leading up to the Boston Tea Party and its aftermath. In response to previous tax acts, the Townshend Acts imposed new taxes on goods and allowed smugglers to be tried without juries in Britain. In response, colonists organized boycotts which led to the repeal of most taxes except the Tea Act. This allowed the British East India Company to sell tea cheaper in the colonies, angering colonial merchants. In protest, the Sons of Liberty disguised as Native Americans dumped crates of tea into Boston harbor. In retaliation, the British passed the Intolerable Acts closing Boston harbor and changing colonial government. This led the colonies to organize the First Continental Congress to petition the king and consider
Growing tensions (1)
The document provides an overview of Chapter 3 from the textbook "America: Pathways to the Present". It covers four main sections: 1) An Empire and Its Colonies, discussing how the English Civil War and mercantilism impacted colonial development. 2) Life in Colonial America, describing colonial society, occupations, education, and women's roles. 3) African Americans in the Colonies, focusing on slavery, the Middle Passage, and laws controlling slaves. 4) Emerging Tensions, covering western expansion, reactions from Native Americans and the French, and religious tensions in the colonies. Assessment questions are included at the end of each section.
Age of empires (1)
Mercantilism was an economic theory where countries sought to accumulate gold and silver by collecting resources from colonies in order to become more powerful. Colonies provided resources to their mother country, which manufactured goods and sold them back to the colonies for a profit. This triangular trade between Europe, Africa, and the Americas involved the exchange of slaves, rum, sugar cane, timber, and guns. Countries that successfully practiced mercantilism through colonial trade became economically strong and developed powerful militaries.
French and Indian War
The document summarizes key events of the French and Indian War in North America between 1754 and 1763. It discusses how the Ohio River Valley was desirable for settlement due to its fertile land and location at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers. The French responded to British settlements in the Ohio River Valley by attacking a militia led by George Washington in 1754, starting the French and Indian War. Ultimately, the British were able to defeat the French through better preparation of troops under William Pitt and capturing the French capital of Quebec City in 1759 after a three month siege. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, giving much of New France to the British.
