Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin increased abolitionist protests by vividly depicting the moral evil of slavery, and Lincoln later credited it with starting the Civil War. The 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act established popular sovereignty for deciding if new states allowed slavery, fueling violence as pro- and anti-slavery settlers fought for control, with over 200 deaths. Tensions rose further as the Pottawatomie Massacre and caning of Senator Sumner polarized sections. New political parties emerged divided over slavery and immigration.

Slavery & Secession
Brief presentation about the coming of the Civil War from 1856 - 1860. Including Lincoln-Douglas Debates, Dred Scott, Harpers Ferry, and the Election of 1860.
Protest, Resistance, and Violence
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 established that any new states admitted to the union would enter in pairs, with one being a slave state and one being a free state. It also drew a line at the 36°30' parallel, with slavery being permitted south of this line and prohibited north of it. The Compromise of 1850 introduced the concept of "popular sovereignty," allowing settlers in New Mexico and Utah territories to decide the status of slavery themselves. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required the return of escaped slaves and penalized those who helped fugitive slaves. This further increased tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War.

The american civil war (1)
The American Civil War was fought between 1861 to 1865 and was caused by several factors related to states' rights and the issue of slavery. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 increased tensions between northern and southern states over the issues of slavery and states' rights. This led several southern states to secede from the Union and form the Confederate States of America. The Civil War resulted in over 618,000 deaths and ended with the defeat of the Confederacy and abolition of slavery through the 13th Amendment. Reconstruction followed the war as the country rebuilt and sought to integrate freed slaves through new constitutional amendments.

The passage summarizes the political tensions and violence that emerged in Kansas in the 1850s following the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The act established popular sovereignty in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, dividing the Louisiana Purchase lands between them, and led to abolitionists and pro-slavery groups rushing to Kansas to gain control over whether it would allow slavery. Fraudulent elections and attacks by the rival groups on towns like Lawrence and Pottawatomie resulted in over 200 deaths and made Kansas a battlefield in the national debate over slavery, known as "Bleeding Kansas."
Election of 1860
The 1860 Democratic National Convention saw deep divisions between Northern and Southern Democrats over the issue of slavery in the territories. The party split, failing to nominate a candidate, and paving the way for Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party. Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election, receiving only 40% of the popular vote but a majority in the Electoral College, as the country was now sharply divided along regional lines over the issue of slavery and states' rights.

Irreconsilable period 1
From 1856 to 1860, sectional tensions between the North and South intensified due to several key events and issues:
1) The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 established the principle of "popular sovereignty" but led to violent clashes in "Bleeding Kansas" as both sides fought over whether Kansas would be a slave or free state.
2) The Dred Scott decision in 1857 inflamed tensions by ruling that Congress could not regulate slavery in the territories and that blacks were not citizens.
3) John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859 and the publication of Hinton Helper's book Impending Crisis of the South increased Southern fears of Northern abolitionism.

Key developments included the oil boom in the Midwest and Texas sparked by Edwin Drake's use of steam power to drill for oil. Henry Bessemer's development of the Bessemer Process to remove impurities from iron led to steel becoming critical to the economy and industries like railroads, bridges, and skyscrapers. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and helped develop electric power distribution, while inventions like the typewriter and telephone further advanced industry. The transcontinental railroad connected major cities, which grew significantly, and innovations like George Pullman's sleeper cars and later

Ulysses S. Grant was elected the 18th president in 1868 as the Republican candidate supported by many black voters. During his presidency, the 15th Amendment was passed, guaranteeing voting rights for all citizens regardless of race. After the Civil War, the Republican-led public works programs rebuilt infrastructure across the South while the Southern Homestead Act aimed to provide land for freed slaves but largely offered unsuitable swampland.
Unit 3 notes 3
After the Civil War, former slaves went back to working in the fields through exploitative systems like sharecropping and tenant farming. The Ku Klux Klan emerged as a terrorist organization that used violence to intimidate blacks and Republicans in order to reinstate white supremacy and prevent blacks from voting. As scandals weakened the Republican Party's control, Democrats took back power in Southern states in the late 1870s. This ended the Reconstruction era and allowed Southern Democrats to restrict the rights of blacks through "home rule" policies.
Unit 3 notes 1
The document outlines the key events of Reconstruction from 1865 to 1877. It describes Andrew Johnson's lenient presidential reconstruction plan, which pardoned many Confederates. It sparked conflict with Radical Republicans in Congress who wanted to address the needs of freed slaves and destroy the political power of former slaveholders. Congress attempted to pass the Freedmen's Bureau Act and Civil Rights Acts of 1866 to assist freed slaves, but both were vetoed by Johnson. This led to congressional reconstruction and the drafting of the 14th Amendment guaranteeing citizenship and equal protection under the law. Johnson was eventually impeached by the House but acquitted by the Senate.

Unit 6 notes 3
Political machines organized groups that offered services like jobs, assistance to immigrants, and community improvements in exchange for political support. The machines were led by city bosses who controlled judges, jobs, and politics through networks of local precinct workers and ward bosses. Tammany Hall was the powerful Democratic political machine in New York City led by Boss Tweed in the late 1800s. Though they provided services, political machines were often corrupt, using patronage to reward supporters with government jobs and graft to illegally profit from their influence.

Unit 1 notes 1
This document summarizes key aspects of slavery and abolitionist movements in the United States prior to the Civil War. It outlines that approximately 2.8 million slaves worked on plantations in the South growing cash crops like cotton and tobacco. Abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass advocated ending slavery, with Douglass escaping slavery and becoming a prominent anti-slavery speaker. Nat Turner led a slave rebellion that killed 60 whites in Virginia. Meanwhile, slave owners defended the institution of slavery by outlawing education for slaves and using their political power to prevent southern states from ending slavery.

The document provides poverty guidelines for the 48 contiguous states and Washington D.C. based on family size and annual income. It lists the poverty guideline in dollars for families of 1 to 8 persons.
Middle passage
The document summarizes the triangular trade route between Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands during the transatlantic slave trade. Ships called "slavers" left British ports loaded with goods to trade for enslaved Africans on the coast of West Africa. They then forcibly transported the enslaved Africans, known as the Middle Passage, in inhumane conditions to the Caribbean Islands and Americas. Enslaved labor produced raw materials in the colonies like sugar, tobacco, and cotton that were traded back to Europe for manufactured goods, completing the triangular trade route that greatly enriched European countries through slavery.

Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin aroused strong reactions in both the North and South by vividly portraying the cruelty of slavery. It sold millions of copies and influenced public opinion in both America and Europe. In the 1857 Dred Scott decision, the Supreme Court ruled that slaves were property without rights and Congress could not ban slavery in territories, further straining sectional tensions. The 1860 election saw Republicans nominate Abraham Lincoln while the southern Democrats nominated John Breckinridge after walking out of the Democratic convention, reflecting the deep split over slavery in the nation.
Black history
The document discusses the history of slavery in America from its origins to the Civil Rights Movement. It began with the slave trade bringing Africans to America and Brazil for farm labor due to lack of manpower. Slavery was legal and slaves had to obey their owners. The Civil War was fought from 1861-1865 over slavery, with the North abolishing it and the South wanting to maintain it. Jim Crow laws after the war legally separated and discriminated against blacks. The Civil Rights Movement from the 1950s onward sought equal treatment and an end to discrimination through protests and legal changes. Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird reflected these racial issues and Atticus Finch represented fighting for justice.

- The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Missouri Compromise and allowed settlers in those territories to decide whether to allow slavery, igniting tensions between North and South.
- Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860 as the first Republican candidate, with no support from Southern states. In response, several Southern states seceded and formed the Confederate States of America.
- The CSA was established with Jefferson Davis as President and a constitution that protected slavery. However, rising sectional tensions over the expansion of slavery led to the outbreak of the Civil War between the Union and the Confederacy in 1861.
Causes of the Civil War
The document summarizes many of the key events and issues that contributed to rising tensions between the North and South leading up to the American Civil War. These include the passage of fugitive slave laws, the Dred Scott decision, debates over the expansion of slavery, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, and cultural differences between the largely agricultural slave-holding South and industrial North. The election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed the expansion of slavery but could not end it where it existed, was the final spark that led Southern states to secede and the Civil War to begin with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in 1861.
Crisis of the_1850s_final
The Compromise of 1850 established harsher fugitive slave laws that turned many Northerners against slavery and strengthened the abolitionist movement. Tensions further increased over the Kansas-Nebraska Act and "Bleeding Kansas", the 1856 election of Republican Lincoln, and the Dred Scott decision allowing the expansion of slavery into new territories. By 1860 the nation was polarized, leading Southern states to secede after Lincoln's election but before he took office, forming the Confederate States of America.

Obituary of John Adams
October 30, 1735-July 4, 1826
John Adams, 91 years of age, died on Tuesday, July 4, 1826, from heart failure at his home in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States.
John Adams was born on October 30, 1735, in Braintree (now Quincy), Massachusetts Bay, British America to the late John Adams Sr and Susanna Boylston. Adams was the first child of three children brother to the late Elihu Adams and Peter Adams. John Adam senior was a descendant of Henry Adam, English emigrants to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1638. His farmer was a farmer, town councilman, and the deacon of the congressional church. His mother, Susanna Boylston Adams, was a descendant of a prominent loyal family of Boylston of Brookline in colonial Massachusetts.
At the age of 16, John Adams earned a scholarship to study law at Harvard University. As an enthusiast scholar, John keenly studied the work of prominent scholars such as Plato, Cicero, Thucydides, and Tacitus. Despite his father's desire for John to enter Ministry, John studied law in the office of James Putnam, a prominent city lawyer. John earned his master's degree in 1758 and became admitted to the bar at the age of 23. After completing his studies at Harvard University, John began the habit of writing about events and impressions of statemen like James Otis Jr (1761).
John Adams married the late Abigail Smith on October 25, 1764. Together they had six children, namely Abigail (1765), John Quincy (1767), Susanna (1768), Charles (1770), Thomas Boylston (1772), and Elizabeth (1777). Political interest regularly separated Adams from his family. Drawing inspiration from Otis, Adams chanted his cause of the American colonies. In 1965, John Adams identified himself with patriot cause from official opposition of the 1965 Stamp Act. Adams expository “Canon and Feudal,” a response to the act by British Parliament, was published in Boston Gazette. John alluded that, “Stamp Act taxed people without consent and subjected them to be tried by a jury of peers.” Following heated debates after two months, John denounced Stamp Act publicly in a speech delivered to the council and governor of Massachusetts. Aware of the political quagmire, John refused to be drawn to mob actions and public demonstration by Samuel Adams.
Adams moved to Boston in April 1768 to enhance his political career. In 1770, Adams presented British soldiers in a lawsuit for killing five civilians (Boston Massacre). Moved by the defense for people right, Adam argued that in a fair trial, every person deserves attorney representation. During the trial, Adams blamed the rowdy mob. The jury found two of the eight soldiers guilty and convicted them for manslaughter, while six were acquitted. His defense prowess enhanced his reputation as a generous, courageous, and fair man. In 1774, Adams was elected to the Massachusetts Assembly and was among the five representatives of the colony in Continental Congress ...

Urban problems
Overcrowded and unsanitary housing, inadequate transportation systems, and contaminated water supplies were among the major urban problems faced by growing American cities in the late 19th/early 20th century. Solutions to address these issues included establishing standards for ventilation and plumbing in housing, expanding electric streetcar and subway systems, and implementing water filtration and chlorination. Cities also worked to improve sanitation, reduce crime, and limit fire risks by creating sewer lines and sanitation departments, establishing police forces, and requiring fire-resistant building materials along with sprinkler systems.

The Tet Offensive of 1968 was a surprise attack by the Vietcong on several South Vietnamese cities during the Lunar New Year celebration. Though the US and South Vietnam won militarily, with over 32,000 Vietcong deaths, the offensive shook public support for the war as it showed the Vietcong was not close to defeat as had been portrayed. This caused US news anchor Walter Cronkite and others to lose confidence in the war, and led President Johnson to decide not to seek re-election. Protests against the war escalated amid rising violence, with the assassinations of MLK and RFK. At the chaotic 1968 Democratic Convention, Richard Nixon was elected after promising to restore order and end the Vietnam War.
Unit7 notes3
The Vietnam War led to the reintroduction of the military draft that required men aged 18 to 26 to register. Many men tried to avoid the draft through medical exemptions, university deferments, or other means. African Americans made up a disproportionate number of combat troops despite representing only 10% of the US population. Around 10,000 women also served in Vietnam mostly as nurses. Opposition movements to the war emerged on college campuses led by groups like Students for a Democratic Society who believed the government and corporations had too much control. Protests against the war increased with events like teach-ins and marches drawing thousands. As the war dragged on, divisions grew between those who opposed withdrawing troops and those who felt the US should
Unit7 notes2
General William Westmoreland led US troops in Vietnam and argued that the Army of Vietnam could not defeat the Vietcong without US support. He pursued a war of attrition to exhaust the enemy through casualties. US forces engaged in search and destroy missions that caused civilian resentment. The Vietcong effectively used guerrilla warfare with small, mobile groups and a network of tunnels, while the US relied on strategies like carpet bombing and Agent Orange spraying that failed to defeat the elusive enemy. As the human and financial costs of the war escalated at home, public support for the war declined due to the contrast between government messages and negative news coverage.
Unit7 notes1
The document summarizes key events in the Vietnam War. It details France's colonial rule over Vietnam until the 1940s when Ho Chi Minh led a revolt for independence. The Vietminh defeated France in 1954, dividing Vietnam along the 17th Parallel. Ngo Dinh Diem came to control South Vietnam but canceled elections to reunify. As communism spread, the US increasingly intervened militarily in the 1960s under presidents Kennedy and Johnson to support South Vietnam and contain communism, leading to extensive bombing and ground troop deployment.
Unit5 notes7
The document outlines several major economic and social reforms that took place during the 1960s as part of President Johnson's "Great Society" agenda, including the passage of tax cut and civil rights bills in 1964, the establishment of Medicare, Medicaid and education programs, and several Supreme Court cases that expanded civil rights and criminal justice protections.

This document summarizes key events during John F. Kennedy's presidency, including early difficulties passing legislation, successes like the Peace Corps and increasing the NASA budget, ongoing issues of poverty and civil rights, and Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963.
Unit5 notes5
John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960 over Richard Nixon because people felt the US was losing the Cold War and Kennedy appeared cooler in televised debates. The Bay of Pigs invasion, in which the US backed Cuban exiles to overthrow Fidel Castro, failed and made Kennedy look weak. In 1961, the Soviet Union built the Berlin Wall to stop East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the US discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, brought the world the closest it had been to nuclear war but was resolved through negotiations.
Unit5 notes4
The document discusses several key terms from the 1950s during the Cold War era, including the GI Bill of Rights which provided benefits for veterans, the growth of suburbs as an alternative to overcrowded cities, the Dixiecrats political party formed by Southern Democrats opposed to civil rights, and the 1952 presidential election where Eisenhower defeated Stevenson despite Nixon's controversies. It also mentions the post-war baby boom, Jonas Salk's discovery of the polio vaccine, and the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case that ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
Unit5 notes3
During the Cold War period, fear of communism in the US led President Truman to establish a Federal Employee Loyalty Program and the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate individuals and groups with potential communist ties. The Hollywood 10 were imprisoned for refusing to testify before HUAC, and many others were blacklisted from their careers. Notable spy cases involved Alger Hiss being imprisoned for passing messages to the Soviets and the Rosenbergs being executed for sharing atomic bomb information with the Soviets. Senator Joseph McCarthy further inflamed tensions with unfounded accusations of communist infiltration, though his credibility declined when he bullied army witnesses on television.
Unit5 notes2
The document summarizes key events in China and the Korean War during the Cold War era. In China, the US-backed nationalist government lost a civil war to the communist forces led by Mao Zedong between 1944-1947. Korea was divided at the 38th parallel in 1945 with the Soviet-backed North and US-backed South. The North launched an attack in 1950 that was pushed back by UN forces led by the US. China later joined by fighting for the North, and an armistice was reached in 1953 leaving the peninsula divided along ideological lines.
Unit5 notes1
The Cold War began due to tensions between the US and USSR after WWII. The US was angry with Stalin for breaking promises made at Yalta and keeping the atomic bomb secret. The USSR wanted to spread communism while the US sought to contain it and give countries self-determination. This led to Europe being divided with an "Iron Curtain" between the Western democratic countries and Eastern bloc nations controlled by the Soviet Union. Germany was split into the capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany allied with the USSR.
Unit4 notes4
The document summarizes key events and changes in the United States during and after World War II. It discusses the Yalta Conference where Stalin, Churchill and FDR met to decide the fate of Germany after the war. It also describes the Nuremberg Trials where Nazi leaders were tried for war crimes and the US occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1952 where the US helped reform Japan. Additionally, it outlines changes in the US economy and society during this period such as increased jobs, migration patterns, the GI Bill and racial tensions that erupted in riots.
Unit4 notes3
This document summarizes key events in the US involvement in World War II against Japan in the Pacific theater. It describes major battles such as Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, and Leyte Gulf, where the US halted Japan's expansion and began to take back islands. It also discusses the bloody battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa as the US moved towards invading Japan. Finally, it covers the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which ultimately led Emperor Hirohito to surrender and end the war.
