The most proper, popular material makes it in; along with any major facts too commonly known to ignore. Anything else is liable to fall to the wayside without enough support from historians or academia. There is always room for the improvement of materials taught; so said, it would seem there is much more to know about Thomas Paine than is...show more content...Paine is nothing if not the son of both perseverance and necessity. His financial woes are the stuff on which young loan sharks are weaned. He grew up the soon of a poor corset maker, and knew only poverty most of his life. His employment track is littered with miss starts in many fields, including stints as a teacher, a seaman, a tobacco shop owner and at various times a excise man. None of these were to be successful positions for Paine, giving him the start of a grudge towards England and its economy. After surviving one wife and separating from another, Paine was near his perceived end. Yet on the recommendation of a new acquaintance from America he decided to head west to the colonies, in hope of escaping the misery he d endured in England. With nothing to his name but letters of recommendation (from the American whom he d met in London), he arrived in Philadelphia, America in 1774. This American happened to be none

Westward expansion after the civil war
1. After the original California Gold Rush, gold was discovered in other western states and territories like Colorado, spurring mining booms. Mining became a large industry and mining companies started to form instead of individual miners working alone.
2. The successful mining towns that sprang up were called "boom towns" but many became deserted "ghost towns" once the gold or silver played out. Railroad transportation was important for the mining industry and the government encouraged railroad expansion by giving land grants.
3. The transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869 where the Union Pacific and Central Pacific tracks met at Promontory Summit in Utah. Its completion was celebrated by California governor Leland Stanford driving a golden spike.
Westward expansion after the civil war
Westward expansion transformed America after the Civil War through mining, railroads, cattle ranching, and homesteading. The transcontinental railroad connected the country, while mining for gold and other metals led to boomtowns. Cattle drives and cowboys supported the beef industry. The Homestead Act encouraged settlement of the Great Plains, though conflicts arose with Native Americans over land. Native Americans faced difficulties on reservations and conflicts like the Battle of Little Bighorn and Wounded Knee massacre.

The Missouri Compromise was replaced by popular sovereignty under the Kansas-Nebraska Act, fueling conflict in Kansas between pro- and anti-slavery settlers. The Supreme Court's ruling in Dred Scott denied citizenship to African Americans and found that Congress could not regulate slavery. Lincoln and Douglas debated these issues during their 1858 Senate campaign, further dividing the nation along sectional lines.
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.

It describes how midwestern cities grew along rivers and canals, with cities like Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Louisville becoming important centers of industry and trade. Many Irish immigrants came to the U.S. due to the potato famine, and were often forced to remain in the cities where they first arrived. German immigrants primarily came for economic and religious freedom, and settled throughout the Midwest where they had an easier time relocating. Nativist sentiment led some Protestants to mistreat Catholic immigrants and the anti-immigrant Know Nothing party was established with goals including reducing immigration.
