TX History Ch 19.1
The document summarizes Presidential Reconstruction after the Civil War in Texas. It describes how the Freedmen's Bureau was established to help former slaves, but it was ineffective in Texas with few agents. President Johnson laid out a plan for readmitting Confederate states, but it allowed former secessionists to regain power and not protect the rights of African Americans. As a result, the Texas legislature passed Black Codes that restricted freedoms.
TX History Ch 19.3
During the administration of Governor Edmund J. Davis, a Republican, Texas underwent Reconstruction from 1869-1873. Davis established a state police force to curb violence by the KKK against African Americans and created the state's first public school system. The Republican legislature also improved transportation infrastructure and raised taxes to fund these initiatives. However, opposition grew from Democrats and white Southerners, who derided the new laws and government. In 1873, Davis lost re-election to Richard Coke as Democrats regained control of the legislature, bringing Reconstruction in Texas to an end.

TX History Ch 15.1
The document discusses the annexation of Texas to the United States between 1836-1845. It describes how Texans approved annexation in 1836 after gaining independence from Mexico. The US was divided on the issue regionally over the expansion of slavery. Several presidents and politicians supported annexation while others opposed it. James K. Polk, a supporter of annexation and manifest destiny, was elected president in 1844 on a platform of annexing Texas. The Texas annexation resolution was finally passed in 1845, making Texas the 28th state.
TX History Ch 14.2
Texas faced ongoing conflicts with Mexico during this period. Mexico contested Texas' claim that the Rio Grande was its southern border. In 1841, Lamar sent 320 Texans on the Santa Fe Expedition to expand Texas' control, but they were captured by Mexican forces and imprisoned. In 1842, Mexican general Rafael Vasquez attacked several Texas towns in what became known as the Archives War. Later that year, 300 rebellious Texas troops invaded Mexico on the ill-fated Mier Expedition, where 100 Mexicans and 30 Texans were killed in battle and the Texan survivors were executed or imprisoned by Santa Anna's order.

TX History Ch 16.1
Tensions rose between the United States and Mexico in the 1840s following the annexation of Texas by the US. The US claimed the border of Texas was the Rio Grande river, while Mexico claimed it was the Nueces river further north. In 1846, Mexican forces attacked US troops along the Rio Grande, which President Polk used to convince Congress to declare war, seeking to expand US territory. Under the leadership of generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott, US forces defeated Mexican armies and captured key cities like Mexico City. The Mexican War ended in 1848 with the US gaining control of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.
Manifest destiny
Manifest Destiny was the belief in the 1800s that the United States was destined to expand across North America to the Pacific Ocean. From 1803 to 1853, the U.S. more than doubled in size through various territorial acquisitions like the Louisiana Purchase, annexation of Texas, and war with Mexico, gaining control of land stretching from coast to coast. This westward expansion was driven by both the desire to spread democracy and economic opportunities like the California Gold Rush of 1849.
TX History Ch 10.4
Mexico tightened control over Texas by sending more troops and customs collectors. This upset Texans, who were already unhappy with previous increases in troops. Tensions further increased when taxes began being collected again at Anahuac, and a Texan named Andrew Briscoe was arrested there. William Travis then led an attack on Anahuac, disturbing some Texans. The Mexican general Martin Perfecto de Cos ordered Travis' arrest and more troop increases in Texas. In response, William Wharton called for a convention to discuss the issues, and Texans debated whether to respond with war or peace. Stephen Austin, who had previously urged patience with Mexico, now believed war was inevitable due to Santa Anna's crackdowns.

Finally, it discusses debts and land issues, noting Texas took on a large debt at annexation and gave up land to reduce it while also using land to attract settlers.
TX History Ch 14.1
The document discusses Texas establishing diplomatic relations with other nations after gaining independence from Mexico in 1836. It notes that Texas wanted recognition from Mexico the most to help with issues like immigration, trade, and loans. While the US initially had doubts about Texas due to its small population and debt, it was the first to recognize Texas in 1837. Texas then sent diplomats to Europe and gained recognition from France, Britain, Belgium, and the Netherlands later that year, though Mexico still refused to recognize Texas' independence.

US History Ch 18.4
John Brown led a raid on the federal arsenal in Harper's Ferry in 1859 hoping to arm slaves and start an uprising. He was captured, convicted of treason, and hanged. His actions increased tensions between northern abolitionists and southern slaveholders. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president, despite not being on the ballot in many southern states. As southern states increasingly feared the potential end of slavery, seven states seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, with Jefferson Davis as its president.
TX History Ch 10.3
Texans held two conventions in 1832 and 1833 to discuss grievances and reforms regarding Mexican policies. The Convention of 1832 sought to allow more U.S. immigration, separate Texas from Coahuila, end customs duties, and establish land for public schools. It sent resolutions to Mexico City but saw no results. The Convention of 1833 drafted a proposed state constitution for Texas and sent Stephen F. Austin to negotiate, but he was arrested in Mexico in 1833 and imprisoned for a year.

Tensions rose between Texans and the Mexican government as Santa Anna became president and abolished the 1824 constitution. At Gonzales, Texans refused to hand over a cannon to Mexican officials, raising their flag with the words "Come and Take It". They later defeated Mexican forces at Goliad. The Texans then marched on San Antonio led by Stephen F. Austin and laid siege to the city, but were forced to withdraw after being attacked. They later captured San Antonio on December 9th after Benjamin Milam led 300 rebels in an assault on the city.
TX History Ch 10.1
The Fredonian Rebellion of 1826 occurred when Haden Edwards' empresario contract to settle 800 families near Nacogdoches was cancelled by the Mexican government. In response, Haden's brother Benjamin Edwards declared part of East Texas to be an independent Republic called the Fredonian Republic. However, the rebellion was short-lived as Stephen F. Austin led a militia and Mexican army to confront the Fredonians, who then fled. The rebellion worried the Mexican government and prompted an investigation by General Manuel de Mier y Teran, who warned that growing American influence in Texas could threaten Mexican control of the region.
TX History Ch 6.4
War broke out between France and Spain in Europe in 1719. This affected their colonies in North America as French soldiers from Louisiana attacked and raided the Spanish mission of San Miguel de Linares. In response, the Spanish temporarily abandoned the East Texas region. However, in 1721 the Viceroy ordered the Marques de San Miguel de Aguyayo to reoccupy the missions. Aguayo negotiated an agreement with the French commander to separate control of French Louisiana and Spanish Texas. He expanded Spanish settlements by establishing Los Adaes as the capital and building the mission and presidio of La Bahia near Matagorda Bay.
TX History Ch 12.2
Sam Houston was elected the first president of the Republic of Texas in 1835. His goals were to maintain peace with American Indian tribes, keep Mexico at bay, and seek annexation by the United States. He reduced the size of the unrestful Texas army and relied on the Texas Rangers for frontier defense. Houston also negotiated treaties with American Indian tribes to maintain peace and assigned land to tribes, but many Texans still viewed the tribes as obstacles.
Causes of the civil war ppt
The Civil War was caused by several key factors that divided the North and South:
1. Sectionalism led to the country being divided along regional lines, with the North and South developing distinct economies and political interests.
2. The issue of slavery deeply divided the regions, as the South depended on it for its economy while the North opposed its expansion.
3. Other contributing causes included states' rights, as Southerners supported a state's autonomy over federal law, and tariffs, which Southerners felt unfairly taxed their exports.
4. Tensions came to a head after Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, which prompted Southern states to secede and form the Confederacy.

TX History Ch 14.3
Anson Jones was elected president of the Republic of Texas in 1844. As president, he inherited economic problems and debt from previous administrations. He continued the policy of reduced government spending. The most serious issue facing his administration was whether Texas should pursue annexation by the United States. Most Texans approved of annexation after independence, though the US did not initially offer it. By 1845, few Texans were interested in negotiating with Mexico for recognition and there was debate among Texans on the issue of annexation.
The Battle of Chancellorsville
The Battle of Chancellorsville took place from April 30th to May 6th, 1863 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia near Fredericksburg. Confederate General Robert E. Lee commanded approximately 60,000 troops defending the area against Union General Joseph Hooker's 130,000-man Army of the Potomac.

The summaries compares the advantages and strategies of the North and South as the war began.
TX History Ch 22.1
The document discusses the growth of railroads in Texas in the late 19th century. Railroads helped accelerate Texas' economic development by providing a more reliable and cheaper way to ship goods compared to rivers and roads. To encourage railroad expansion, the state enacted land grant laws that gave railroad companies land to sell in order to finance new track construction. This led to over 30 million acres of public land and 6,000 miles of new track being laid between 1876-1889, connecting more cities and regions across Texas.
US History Ch 13.4
Technological advances in the early to mid-1800s revolutionized communication and transportation. Samuel Morse combined existing technologies to invent the telegraph, allowing messages to be sent quickly over wires. The first transcontinental telegraph line was completed in 1861. In farming, John Deere invented the steel-bladed plow and Cyrus McCormick designed an efficient mechanical reaper. In the home, Elias Howe invented the sewing machine, later improved by Isaac Singer, making clothing production more efficient.
TX History Ch 23.3
The oil boom of the late 19th/early 20th century led to the rapid growth of boomtowns as thousands of people moved to new oil fields. This dramatically increased the populations of places like Beaumont and Sour Lake. The automobile industry grew successful using gasoline from oil in internal combustion engines. Petrochemical industries also emerged producing rubber, plastics, and carbon black from oil. Texas passed laws regulating the oil industry and collecting taxes on oil to support education. The permanent university fund was established using land designated for education, supported by oil royalties and philanthropy which continues to benefit the University of Texas and Texas A&M systems.

It outlines the Reconstruction Acts of 1867 that divided the South into districts and required new state constitutions. It also discusses the Freedmen's Bureau assisting freed black Americans and the passage of the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and equal rights. Resistance from Southern whites led to the rise of organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and attacks on Republicans. Reconstruction efforts eventually lost support in the North and ended in 1877 with the Compromise that withdrew federal troops from the South.

The document summarizes Reconstruction and the New South after the Civil War. It describes the huge problems facing the South after the war ended, including widespread ruin and refugees needing food, shelter, and work. It then outlines Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction, the passage of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, the rise of Radical Republican control pushing black suffrage and civil rights, the end of Reconstruction leading to the loss of black voting rights and rise of Jim Crow, and the eventual economic recovery of the South in later decades.
Reconstruction
Reconstruction (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and restore Southern states to the Union. It involved several plans and acts by Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress to repair infrastructure, establish the Freedmen's Bureau to aid former slaves, and define citizenship and voting rights through amendments to the Constitution. However, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877 after the Compromise effectively ended Congressional Reconstruction and left black southerners vulnerable to violence and intimidation through organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and oppressive policies like black codes and sharecropping.
Ch 12
Reconstruction sought to answer two questions - what would replace slavery and what would freedom mean for ex-slaves. There were obstacles to real freedom for African Americans like Black Codes and the Ku Klux Klan. Two types of Reconstruction occurred - Presidential Reconstruction under Johnson focused on quick reunification while Congressional Reconstruction under Radical Republicans established rights for freedmen and new governments in the South.

Reconstruction was the period after the Civil War where the terms under which the Confederate states would rejoin the Union had to be determined. Lincoln favored a moderate reconciliation plan, while Radical Republicans wanted to revolutionize the South and guarantee rights for African Americans. They disagreed on the harshness of Reconstruction plans like the Wade-Davis Bill. The Freedmen's Bureau was established to provide aid to freed slaves and refugees, helping them find work and establishing schools. However, Southern states passed Black Codes limiting the rights of African Americans.
Tx history-ch-19.2
Congressional Reconstruction began after problems arose with Presidential Reconstruction under Andrew Johnson. Radical Republicans gained control of Congress and passed laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and Reconstruction Acts to establish military control over the South and guarantee rights for African Americans. This marked the beginning of Congressional Reconstruction, where the South was divided into military districts and required to write new constitutions protecting rights and allowing African American suffrage to rejoin the Union. Texas was placed under the Fifth Military District led by General Sheridan and a Republican party formed dominated by Unionists, African Americans, and Mexican Americans that took control of the 1869 constitutional convention and government.

Congressional Reconstruction began after problems arose with Presidential Reconstruction under Andrew Johnson. Radical Republicans gained control of Congress and passed laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and Reconstruction Acts to establish military control over the South and guarantee rights for African Americans. This led to Republican Party growth in Texas, and the 1869 state constitution extended rights like voting and equal protection to African Americans. Texas was eventually restored to the Union under a Republican governor.
Reconstruction
Reconstruction was the period after the Civil War where the federal government sought to repair the South and restore southern states to the Union. It involved plans for black rights, economic recovery, and political reconstruction. However, the withdrawal of federal troops led southern states to enact Jim Crow laws and use intimidation to deny black citizens their civil rights, effectively ending the goals of Reconstruction.
Standard 10
Presidential Reconstruction aimed to quickly readmit southern states to the Union with lenient terms, but it failed to protect the rights of freed slaves. Radical Republican Reconstruction required southern states to rewrite constitutions guaranteeing black rights and ratify the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. However, the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction, removing federal troops and protection for freed slaves as the South imposed Jim Crow laws and disenfranchised most black voters.
The Critical Period 1781-1789
The document discusses several key aspects of early American history following the Revolutionary War. It outlines the impact of the revolution in increasing equality and expanding voting rights, though women's rights did not progress. It also describes the weak national government under the Articles of Confederation and various problems that arose. Several compromises and new governing documents, like the Northwest Ordinance and US Constitution, were devised to address these issues and establish a stronger federal republic.

It concludes with the 1884 election of Grover Cleveland and scandals surrounding the candidates.
Native americans
The document provides a detailed overview of the history of government policies toward Native Americans from the late 1700s to present day. It discusses how policies have ranged from recognizing tribes as independent nations to forcibly removing them from their lands and terminating federal recognition, to more recent policies aimed at restoring sovereignty and self-determination.

TX History Ch 23.2
The document summarizes the growth of the oil industry in Texas in the early 1900s. Wildcatters, or independent explorers, searched for new oil fields through risky drilling ventures. Many went bankrupt but key discoveries were made, including the large East Texas oil field in the 1930s. As the industry grew, companies integrated vertically by controlling each step of production, and horizontally by acquiring other businesses in the oil sector. Natural gas was also discovered but initially had little value since transport and distribution infrastructure did not yet exist.
TX History Ch 23.1
The document summarizes the birth of the oil industry in Texas. It details early attempts at drilling for oil in the 1860s and successful strikes in the 1880s and 1890s. On January 10, 1901, a major strike occurred at Spindletop Hill near Beaumont, Texas, where the Lucas Gusher erupted and shot 70,000 barrels of oil per day for 9 days, launching the modern oil industry. However, increased production from Spindletop caused oil prices to plummet, leading to an economic boom and bust around the new oil fields.
TX History Ch 21.4
The document discusses the closing of the open range in the American West. It describes how barbed wire, invented by Joseph Glidden in the 1870s, made large-scale fencing inexpensive and easy, allowing farmers and ranchers to fence off their land. This led to the disappearance of the open range cattle kingdom as lands became enclosed by fences. It also caused conflicts known as range wars between small landowners and large cattle outfits over issues like blocked roads and fenced water sources. By the 1880s, many states had passed laws against fence cutting and regulating fencing rights in an attempt to resolve range disputes. Overgrazing, expanded farming and ranching, railroads, and other factors also contributed to the end of
TX History Ch 21.3
The document discusses the history of ranching in South Texas and the Panhandle region. It describes important ranches like the King Ranch, located in Kennedy County, which at its largest encompassed over 1 million acres. It also discusses pioneers of ranching in the Panhandle such as John Adair and Charles Goodnight who established the huge JA Ranch. The document also notes the role of African American trail drivers like Bose Ikard and how the cowboy lifestyle was popularized through dime novels.
TX History Ch 21.1
Early cattle ranching in Texas began with Spanish settlers in the 1500s who established ranches in Mexico and moved cattle northward into the Rio Grande and San Antonio River Valleys. Spanish ranchers used brands to identify cattle ownership and drove cattle to market in New Orleans and to supply Spanish outposts, facing problems of rustling, low demand, and limited access to markets. Texas longhorns thrived on native grasses, weathered hot and cold temperatures, could eat prickly pear, and were resistant to Texas Fever, with their large horns providing protection.
TX History Ch 20.2
The document summarizes events surrounding the Salt Creek Raid in 1871, in which Kiowa and Comanche tribes attacked a wagon train near Salt Creek, killing 7 men. In response, General Sherman had three tribal leaders arrested. Though one was killed resisting arrest, the others were convicted of murder but later had their death sentences commuted to life in prison by the governor. The Salt Creek Raid convinced the war department that Indians needed to be forced onto reservations, leading to increased raids by Colonel Mackenzie on the Comanche and other tribes to force their surrender and movement to reservations.
TX History Ch 20.4
The document discusses the end of the Indian Wars in Texas in the late 1800s. It describes the Apache leader Victorio who raided across the Rio Grande after being forced to move to a reservation in New Mexico. The U.S. Army chased Victorio for two years with regiments including African American "Buffalo Soldier" troops. Victorio's raids stopped when he died in 1880 after Mexican troops became involved in the conflict. It also discusses the difficulties Indians faced on reservations, including being forced to farm with little experience or adequate land and having religious practices banned.
TX History Ch 20.1
During the 1860s, American Indian raids increased as soldiers were occupied in the Civil War. This pushed the frontier line in Texas further east at times. In 1865, the Treaty of Little Arkansas was negotiated but the promised reservation was never created. The Treaty of Medicine Lodge in 1867 required Plains Indians to move to a reservation in Indian Territory in exchange for supplies, but some Indians refused to accept reservation life. The Peace Policy of 1869 aimed to prevent war by appointing Quakers as Indian agents, but reservation life was difficult due to poor soil and insufficient supplies from the government.
US History 18.1
The document summarizes key events around the expansion of slavery and passage of the Compromise of 1850. It discusses the debates over whether new territories gained from Mexico would allow slavery. The Compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state while establishing popular sovereignty in Utah and New Mexico. It also included a stronger Fugitive Slave Act, which faced opposition from abolitionists and led to incidents like the failed rescue of Anthony Burns.
US History 18.2
The document summarizes events in Kansas Territory in the 1850s surrounding the issue of slavery. It discusses the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed popular sovereignty to determine slavery in the territories and repealed the Missouri Compromise banning slavery north of 36°30'. This led northern abolitionists and southern pro-slavery groups to rush into Kansas to influence elections, resulting in violence known as "Bleeding Kansas" between the factions. Key events included the Sack of Lawrence and Pottawatomie Massacre by John Brown, and the beating of Senator Charles Sumner by Congressman Preston Brooks in response to a speech criticizing slavery.
US History 18.3
The document summarizes key political divisions and events in the 1850s leading up to the Civil War. It discusses the formation of the Republican Party in opposition to the expansion of slavery. It outlines the impact of the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Dred Scott decision, which ruled that African Americans could not be citizens and Congress could not regulate slavery in federal territories. The debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas on the issues of slavery and territorial expansion are also summarized.
US History Ch 15.5
The document summarizes the women's rights movement in the 19th century United States. It discusses key figures like Sojourner Truth, Sarah Grimke, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott who advocated for women's rights and equality. It also outlines important events like the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, which was organized by Stanton and Mott and launched the organized women's rights movement in the US.
US History Ch 15.4
The document summarizes key aspects of the abolitionist movement in the United States, including the establishment of organizations that opposed slavery and advocated for emancipation like the American Colonization Society and American Anti-Slavery Society. It discusses important abolitionist figures such as William Lloyd Garrison, the Grimke sisters, and Frederick Douglass who spread the message against slavery through publications, speeches, and activism. The Underground Railroad network helped slaves escape to the North, led by conductors like Harriet Tubman. However, the movement faced opposition from those who felt abolition threatened the Southern economy or racial hierarchy.
US History Ch 15.2
Between 1840-1860, over 4 million immigrants settled in the US, mostly Irish and German fleeing economic hardship and famine. They arrived poor and took low-skilled jobs. Nativists opposed immigration, fearing job losses. The Know-Nothing Party wanted to exclude Catholics and foreigners from office. As industry grew, cities attracted more immigrants to fill jobs, straining infrastructure and leading to overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions.
