The development of transportation in america from 1790 1860
The document discusses the development of transportation in America from 1790-1860. It covers the establishment of early railroad systems financed by private investors including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The transcontinental railroad was supported by the government and joined the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railways. Other modes of early transportation discussed include the first steam trains, the Pony Express which lasted from 1860-1861, steam engines, steam boats, clipper ships, canal systems like the Erie Canal, horse-drawn omnibuses, turnpikes like the Lancaster Turnpike, and the National Road, the first paved highway.
Transportation Revolution
The document summarizes the Transportation Revolution during the Industrial Revolution. It describes improvements in roads and turnpikes, the construction of canals like the Erie Canal, the development of steamboats by Robert Fulton in 1807, and the rise of railroads starting in the 1820s. These new transportation technologies helped diminish western isolation, lower transportation costs, increase trade and the pace of business.
Transportation Revolution
The transportation revolution began in the early 1800s as new forms of transportation like steamboats, canals, roads, and railroads emerged to allow for the affordable transport of goods. This was spurred by the development of large-scale industry which needed cheaper ways to move goods between regions. The Erie Canal was completed in 1825, connecting New York cities and sparking widespread canal construction. However, railroads soon overtook canals after 1830 due to their greater speed, range, and ability to operate year-round and across more terrain. The transportation revolution led to westward expansion, increased industrialization and urbanization, and created a more connected national market.
Transportation revolution
The document discusses the Transportation Revolution in the United States between 1789-1860, including developments in roads like the National Road, canals like the Erie Canal, and railroads. It summarizes that roads, canals, and railroads helped connect areas of the country, making transportation faster and trade more feasible. This is seen as fueling economic growth and development across the young nation.
Evolution of transportation
The document traces important developments in transportation from 3500 BC to the present. It notes that the wheel was invented around 3500 BC and was fundamental to later inventions like vehicles and clocks. Important early transportation methods included boats, carts, and horses. Major innovations included hot air balloons in 1783, steamboats in 1787, trains in the early 1800s, cars in 1862-1903, motorcycles in 1867, and airplanes in 1903. Space exploration milestones were Sputnik 1 in 1957, the first manned moon mission in 1969, and the first space shuttle in 1981. Cars are now the most widely used transportation globally.
Canals, Roads, Steamboats, R Rs
The document discusses improvements to transportation networks in the United States during the 1800s that helped connect regions and markets. Canals allowed for cheaper and faster transport of goods between the eastern US and Great Lakes states compared to wagons. Robert Fulton's steamship invention in 1807 made river travel faster and more affordable upstream. Railroads, which were not limited by existing rivers, further increased connectivity and settlement of western territories beyond what canals and roads could provide.
Erie Canal
The document discusses the history and background of the Erie Canal, which was built between 1817 and 1825 to connect Lake Erie and the Hudson River. It summarizes that the 363-mile canal took 8 years to complete at a cost of $7,143,000 and over 1,000 workers died building it. The canal reduced shipping costs by 90% and cut travel time in half, allowing Buffalo to rapidly grow as a trade center.

E1 - Panama Canal Risk Analysis
The document provides an in-depth analysis of the risks associated with constructing the Panama Canal between 1904-1914. It discusses the failures of the initial French attempt from 1881-1889, which was plagued by inadequate risk management and resulted in over 20,000 deaths and cost overruns. The Americans learned from these mistakes in their revived project starting in 1904. They implemented extensive risk controls like disease prevention programs and adopting a lock-based canal design. Through proactive risk management like improved worker conditions and new technologies, the American project finished ahead of schedule and under budget, demonstrating the importance of effective risk management for complex infrastructure projects.
Hw#24 sectionalism
Westward expansion increased sectionalism in the United States by deepening economic and social differences between regions. As new lands opened in the West, the North focused on industry and opposed slavery's expansion, while the South wanted to protect its agricultural economy based on plantation slavery. Henry Clay believed sectionalism was harmful to the country by dividing loyalty to regions rather than the nation as a whole.
Unit 6 Panama Canal Great Powerpoint
The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans across the Isthmus of Panama, providing a shortcut for maritime trade. The 50-mile canal cuts through mountainous jungle and includes a series of locks that raise and lower ships as they pass through. After failed attempts by France and Panama, the United States oversaw the canal's completion in 1914, which reduced travel times between the oceans by 8,000 miles but cost many worker lives due to harsh conditions and disease. The canal remains a vital global shipping route today.
History of Transportation Mode
Fixed wheels were invented in 3500 BC, allowing for early wheeled vehicles like carts and chariots. River boats and horse-drawn transportation developed over the following millennia. In the 18th and 19th centuries, major transportation innovations emerged like the steamboat, steam locomotive, automobile, airplane, and technologies that improved travel by land, sea, and air. Transportation management has evolved greatly from early wheeled vehicles to modern modes like jets, rockets, and bullet trains.
The Transport Revolution
Before the Industrial Revolution, transport was slow and limited to roads and seas as roads were in poor condition. The development of factories increased the need for better transport of large volumes of goods. During the Industrial Revolution, canals, turnpikes, railways and steamships were developed to improve transport. Canals allowed a single horse to transport 60 tons of goods compared to only half a ton over roads. One example of a canal in Ireland is the Grand Canal.
History of transportation
Early humans walked and dragged items, developing worn paths that became early roads. The development of the wheel led to wheeled vehicles and the first roads made of packed materials in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC. Romans later built stone-surfaced roads with mortar around 300 BC. Steam power was applied to transportation starting in the late 18th century, leading to road and water vehicles and railroads in the early 19th century. The modern highway system and commercial air travel developed in the mid-20th century.
The Industrial Revolution Presentation
Industrialization began in England first due to several key factors:
1) Agricultural advances increased food production and freed up labor to work in factories.
2) England's colonial expansion and international trade networks accumulated capital for investment.
3) The Enclosure Movement consolidated small land holdings into larger commercial farms.
4) Inventions like the steam engine and cotton gin drove new technologies and industries.
Industrial Revolution Powerpoint
The Industrial Revolution began in England due to natural resources like coal and iron, new technologies like the steam engine, and a growing population. Key inventions like James Watt's improved steam engine and Bessemer's steel production process drove technological advancement and industrialization. The Industrial Revolution transformed societies through urbanization, new methods of production, and shifts in social structures, though it also brought problems like unsafe working conditions and child labor.
Abolitionism
This document summarizes the key people and events in the abolitionist movement in the United States. It mentions early abolitionists like Thomas Clarkson, Granville Sharp, and William Wilberforce. It also discusses the formation of the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade and the abolition of the slave trade in 1807. Later abolitionists mentioned include Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Sojourner Truth, and Gerrit Smith. The document notes how abolitionists used fierce language and images to raise awareness and make ending slavery a priority for white Americans. It discusses the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and how Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin shocked the North and intens
Utopian Communities
This document summarizes several 19th century American utopian communities:
New Harmony, Indiana was founded in 1825 by Robert Owen with the goal of communal living and equality, but dissolved in 1827 due to conflict. Brook Farm, Massachusetts was started in 1841 by Transcendentalists seeking truth and cooperation, but collapsed in debt in 1846 after a fire. The Oneida Community in New York practiced complex marriage and eugenics from 1848-1879 before becoming a successful silverware company. The Shakers, founded in the 1700s, believed in simplicity, segregated sexes, and have nearly gone extinct due to their celibacy.
The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution brought many technological advancements that changed communication, economics, and agriculture in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Inventions like the steam engine, cotton gin, interchangeable parts, steamboat, telegraph, and sewing machine increased productivity and transportation, expanded the economy in new directions, and improved quality of life. These innovations driven by people like James Watt, Eli Whitney, Robert Fulton, Samuel Morse, and Elias Howe were catalysts for wider changes in society during this period of transformation.
The Second Great Awakening
The document discusses the Second Great Awakening religious revival that occurred in the late 1700s and early 1800s in America. It began in southern frontier camp meetings, where preachers would energetically yell and scream sermons to excite audiences. Two famous preachers were Peter Cartwright, known for his bellowing voice and knocking out rowdies, and Charles Finney, a trained lawyer who became a famous evangelist. The revival helped spread new Christian sects like Methodism and Baptism and promoted causes like feminism and abolition of slavery.
The Black Hawk War
The Black Hawk War occurred in the 1830s in Wisconsin and Illinois between Native American tribes led by Black Hawk and the United States. Black Hawk, a Sauk chief, opposed white settlers moving onto Sauk lands in violation of treaties. He led a group now known as the British Band back to their village, clashing with US settlers and troops for months until they were defeated in battle with many casualties. Black Hawk was eventually captured and the war ended with a new peace treaty.
2nd Party System
The document outlines the development of the Second Party System in the United States between 1828-1854, including the decline of the Federalist party and the rise of the Whig and Democratic parties. It describes the Whig party as aristocratic and in favor of the American System and anti-slavery, while the Democratic party appealed more to the common man and included many pro-slavery members who supported states' rights. Key leaders of each party like Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and Andrew Jackson are also mentioned.
Womens Rights and Suffrage
The document summarizes the history of the women's rights movement in the United States. It describes how women initially had no identity or legal rights and were viewed as physically and emotionally weak. It then discusses key figures like Mary Wollstonecraft, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony who advocated for women's rights and organized events like the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 to promote women's suffrage. The document also outlines the formation of organizations like the National Woman Suffrage Association and American Woman Suffrage Association that worked to expand women's rights.
Indian Removal
The American population was growing and there was pressure to remove Native American tribes from their lands to make room for settlers. Andrew Jackson negotiated many treaties to acquire tribal lands. In 1830, President Jackson proposed the Indian Removal Act, which forcibly relocated Eastern tribes to lands west of the Mississippi. Despite legal challenges, Jackson refused to uphold tribal land rights. The removals had devastating impacts, with thousands of Native Americans dying as they were forced from their homelands to make way for American expansion.
Bank War
Henry Clay and Daniel Webster proposed renewing the charter of the Bank of the U.S., but President Jackson faced a dilemma - signing would upset his populist supporters while vetoing risked angering influential bankers, as the decision came just before the 1836 election. Jackson ultimately vetoed the bill, declaring the bank unconstitutional and asserting the president's power over Congress. His veto stemmed from a belief that the bank was too privately controlled and profit-driven rather than serving the public interest.

American System
The document discusses the American System, which included establishing the Second Bank of the United States, imposing protective tariffs, and funding infrastructure projects like canals and roads. It was supported by the Whig Party as a way to promote domestic manufacturing and easier trade but opposed by the Democratic Party as unconstitutional.
Adams-Onis treaty
The document summarizes the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819 between the United States and Spain. It discusses the context around American expansionism following the War of 1812 and Latin American revolutions for independence from Spain. It outlines how Andrew Jackson's invasion of Spanish Florida raised tensions, and how Secretary of State John Quincy Adams' aggressive negotiation led to Spain ceding East Florida and relinquishing claims to Oregon territory in exchange for the US abandoning claims to Texas and paying Spain. The treaty established the US-Mexico border and had lasting effects.
Texas war for independence real
The War for Texas Independence began as Mexican rule over Texas tightened in the 1830s. After the Mexican government abolished slavery and increased tariffs, Texians declared independence from Mexico in 1836. This led to several battles, including the famous stand at the Alamo where Texians were defeated by Santa Anna's Mexican army. However, Sam Houston later defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, allowing Texas to gain independence as the Republic of Texas.
Republican motherhood
This document discusses the Cult of Domesticity, a prevailing social philosophy in the 19th century that defined women's proper roles as pious, pure, submissive, and domestic. It prescribed that women remain in the domestic sphere to care for the home and family, leaving the public/work sphere to men. The document outlines the time period, classes, and regions it affected, as well as the four cardinal virtues women were expected to uphold. It then discusses some influential women of the time period and how the Cult of Domesticity impacted society and women's roles and rights. In conclusion, it notes how views of women's roles have changed over time.
Panic of 1837
The Panic of 1837 occurred during Martin Van Buren's presidency and was caused by heavy borrowing from citizens that was then invested in speculative ventures. This led to a record unemployment rate and the failure of New York banks. Van Buren was blamed for the crisis and the Whig Party took control of Congress in the 1840 election. Recovery efforts included a brief period of improvement from 1838-1839, followed by Van Buren's sub-treasury system and the Tariff of 1842, though it caused splits in the Whig party and was later repealed.
Monroe Doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine established that European powers should not interfere or colonize in the Americas. It was a response to concerns that European powers, through the Holy Alliance, wanted to reestablish control over former Spanish colonies that had gained independence. While not an actual law, the doctrine asserted that further European colonization in the Americas would be viewed as aggression towards the United States. It supported Washington's isolationist policies and established the US as the dominant power in the Americas.
Industrial Revolution
The document discusses key events and innovations of the Industrial Revolution in the United States including Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin, John Deere's steel plow, Cyrus McCormick's mechanical reaper, improvements to transportation infrastructure like canals and railroads, and how these changes affected society through immigration, urbanization, and economic transformations.
The Panic of 1837
The document discusses the financial crisis known as the Panic of 1837 that resulted from speculation and the failure of banks after President Jackson ended the Second National Bank. New banks took advantage initially but then failed along with foreign banks after Jackson's "Specie Circular" requiring payment in gold or silver, exacerbated by crop failures and economic troubles. President Van Buren refused government involvement and his independent treasury plan was repealed, contributing to him losing re-election in 1840.
Texas Independence
The document summarizes key events during the Texas War of Independence from Mexico between 1835 and 1836. It describes how American settlers in Texas ignored Mexican settlement rules, leading to tensions.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
