The Civil War resulted in significant political, economic, and social changes. Politically, it increased the power of the federal government and no state has attempted to secede since. Economically, the North's industry boomed while the South's economy was devastated by the loss of slavery and destruction of infrastructure. An enormous human and economic toll was taken, with over 600,000 casualties and both sides amassing over $3 billion in war debts. The war also ended slavery through the 13th amendment and impacted individuals like Clara Barton, John Wilkes Booth, and the challenges of Reconstruction.

Unit 2 notes 2
The document summarizes key events and developments during the American Civil War. It discusses the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves in Confederate states and allowed African Americans to join the Union army. It also describes how the Confederacy and Union implemented conscription and dealt with dissenters. The economies of the North and South were affected differently, with the Union economy strengthening due to factories supplying the war effort while the Confederacy struggled with shortages and a weakened economy due to the loss of resources to the war and Union blockade of ports.
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 2
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 1 notes 2
The document outlines the key differences between the North and South in the United States prior to the Civil War. The North was more urban, industrial, and had railroads, factories, immigrants, and no slavery, while the South was more rural, agricultural, relied on cotton, had little industry and railroads, few immigrants, and legal slavery. It then discusses the Compromise of 1850 which admitted California as a free state but also strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act, causing tensions over the issue of slavery in new western territories to increase.
Civil War Project21609(2)
The document discusses the key causes of the American Civil War, including differing views on states' rights, slavery in new western territories, and economic divisions between the industrial North and agricultural South. The North wanted to limit the spread of slavery and impose high tariffs to protect its growing industries, while the South sought to expand slavery into new territories and opposed tariffs that hurt Southern exports. These tensions escalated after Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, leading Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.
9a issues divided the nation
The document summarizes some of the key issues that divided the North and South in the lead up to the Civil War. There were cultural, economic, and constitutional differences between the primarily urban industrial North and the agricultural plantation South. Slavery was one of the main issues and was opposed in the North but integral to the Southern economy. The North and South also disagreed over tariffs, states' rights, and the power of the federal government versus state governments.
6a sources of colonial dissatisfaction
Great Britain took steps to increase control over the American colonies, including imposing taxes like the Stamp Act to fund the French and Indian War and passing the Proclamation of 1763 restricting western expansion. This led to growing colonial dissatisfaction, as the colonists had no representation in Parliament, resented colonial governors and restrictions, and opposed new taxes. The lack of representation in Parliament taxing the colonies was likely the most important source of dissatisfaction, as it violated the longstanding principle of "no taxation without representation."
Lesson 2 Turmoil over Taxation Power Point
This document provides an overview of the period from 1745-1775 in the American colonies. It describes growing tensions between colonists and Native Americans, as well as Britain's attempts to impose new taxes on the colonies through acts like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. The colonists strongly protested these taxes through boycotts and petitions. Key figures like Samuel Adams and John Adams emerged as leaders of the colonial resistance. These tensions came to a head in events like the Boston Massacre in 1770.

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 3
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.
Unit 5 notes 2
This document discusses the rise of big business in the late 19th century United States. It describes how industrialists like Andrew Carnegie in steel and John D. Rockefeller in oil amassed huge fortunes by integrating their companies both vertically and horizontally to dominate their industries. Their success contributed to the ideas of social Darwinism and that government should not regulate business, though some viewed these businessmen critically as "robber barons." It also outlines the formation of labor unions to advocate for workers' rights and better pay and conditions in response to big business.
Unit 6 notes 2
This document summarizes urbanization and urban problems in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded housing, increased crime, and problems with infrastructure like sanitation, water, and fire safety. New technologies allowed for mass migration from farms to cities. Social reformers worked to address these issues through policies, organizations like settlement houses, and drawing attention to problems through photographs of urban poverty.
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.
911 timeline
Over several decades, from the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis to attacks in the 2010s, the United States has experienced numerous terrorist attacks and incidents of violence. These include the bombing of the US embassy and marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983, the Pan Am 103 bombing in 1988, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and the September 11th, 2001 hijacking of four airplanes and attacks on the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon that killed nearly 3,000 people. Subsequent attacks include the 2012 Benghazi consulate attack in Libya and hostage executions by ISIS in the mid-2010s.
Current event example
Angel Nieves pled guilty to third-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 to 60 years in prison for killing Rafael Del Valle during an attempted robbery at a mini market in North Philadelphia in 2012. Nieves and another man attempted to rob the store but were confronted by the owner, who pulled a gun. Del Valle, an employee, then chased after one of the robbers but was shot by Nieves from behind. Nieves' accomplice's trial is still ongoing.
Unit 1 notes 4
The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Civil War. It discusses the Dred Scott decision which ruled that slaves were property and not citizens. It also describes John Brown's failed slave revolt at Harper's Ferry where he seized an arsenal and took hostages. Finally, it outlines Abraham Lincoln's election as President in 1860 with no southern electoral votes, leading several southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America with Jefferson Davis as President.
Unit 7 notes 1
The Progressive Era was a period of political and social activism aimed at correcting problems resulting from industrialization and urbanization in America. Progressives sought to return power to the people by promoting social welfare, morality, economic reform, and efficiency in business. They also worked to clean up government through goals like ending child labor, limiting working hours, and changing elections through initiatives, referendums, recalls, and having Senators elected by popular vote rather than state governments.

HIST
The Economic Impact of Civil War
Richmond, VA, 1865.
I The Effects of the War
· Civil War’s economic impact has been a point of much debate. Historians have traditionally seen the war as a major economic “watershed,” which served as a “take-off point” for America’s final transformation from an agricultural to an industrial nation. Later, a new group of historians argued that Civil War actually slowed down the economic growth and America’s transformation.
· So, again: one group says Civil War created a surge in economic growth and industrialization, while the other group says the opposite, arguing that Civil War interrupted long term economic trends and actually impeded industrialization.
· So, who is right? Let’s study both schools of thought, starting with the people who argued for Civil War’s economic boost-effect:
1. Beard-Hacker thesis
· Historians Charles and Mary Beard, in their Rise of American Civilization (1927), called Civil War “the Second American Revolution,” a “social war” which rearranged “classes and...the accumulation and distribution of wealth.” It was “a social cataclysm in which the capitalists, laborers, and farmers of the North and West drove from power in the national government the planting aristocracy of the South.”
· According to the Beards, war marked the dividing line between agricultural and industrial eras in American history. In essence, Civil War was the struggle of classes and economic systems; it was a sectional dispute only by the “accidents of climate, soil, and geography.”
· The Beards were later supported and supplemented by Louis Hacker, who in his book Triumph of American Capitalism (1940), said that Civil War gave the industrial-capitalist class “the instrumentalities of political power,” which the capitalists used to pass legislation, which enabled “the triumph of American capitalism.”
· Proof for Beard-Hacker include largely the war’s short-term and direct effects, such as:
a) Demand for war materials, such as guns other weapons, uniforms, saddles, wagons, et cetera.
b) The need to mechanize grows, as factories have hard time finding man power (draft), while the demand for war materials simultaneously grows substantially.
c) The war triggers a need to use labor force more efficiently: women, free African Americans and immigrants move into the mines, fields, and factories.
d) Income gets redistributed into the hands of rising capitalist class. During the war, U.S. suffered from substantial inflation (70 percent between 1860-1864), as the government largely funded the war with deficit spending and printing more money. This transferred income from workers to those who could raise prices rapidly: entrepreneurs, capitalists, manufacturers, etc. This gives them a larger slice of the pie and helped to finance the postwar economic expansion. Many of the later industrial giants (Andrew Carnegie, Philip Armour, Clement Studebaker, John D. Rockefeller, etc.) partook in the industrial a ...
Labor and economy
1. The growth of large corporations in the late 19th century led to declining wages and increasing profits, causing the formation of national labor unions like the AFL to advocate for workers' rights.
2. The Panic of 1893 caused widespread unemployment and economic depression, fueling the Populist movement which called for government regulation of railroads and banks.
3. World War II pulled the US out of the Great Depression by stimulating industrial production but the postwar economic boom also led to rising inflation that was exacerbated by the oil crises of the 1970s.
United States History Ch.17 Section 1 Notes
1. After WWII, the US economy boomed due to increased demand for consumer goods, the GI Bill helping veterans find work and education, and a postwar baby boom increasing the population.
2. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower presided over this period of economic growth, though Truman faced challenges from inflation and labor unrest.
3. Eisenhower continued the prosperous economy and initiated programs for infrastructure and education, making his presidency very stable.
Sc disagreements post revolutionary war 8 3.1
The document discusses tensions between South Carolina's Lowcountry and Upcountry regions after the Revolutionary War. The Lowcountry depended on slave labor and large plantations while the Upcountry mostly had small family farms. Both regions struggled economically after the war. Moving the capital to Columbia in the center of the state helped ease tensions but the Lowcountry still dominated the legislature until the cotton gin allowed the Upcountry to also use slave labor and gain political representation.

Topic Outline
This document outlines the key topics and subtopics covered in an AP US History course. It is divided into 22 major sections that span from the discovery and settlement of North America to the Progressive Era. Each section includes several subsections that delve deeper into the historical events, figures, social and economic developments, and political changes that define that period of American history.
Progreessive Era Chapter07
The document summarizes key events in the early 19th century United States that led to increasing regional economic and political differences between the North and South. The North industrialized and relied on manufacturing and trade while the South developed a plantation economy dependent on cotton and slavery. Andrew Jackson expanded democracy but also advanced the forced removal of Native Americans. Debates over states' rights and national banking increased tensions between advocates of federal power and states' rights.
Progreessive Era Chapter07
The document summarizes key events in the early 19th century United States that led to increasing regional economic and political differences between the North and South. The North industrialized and moved away from slavery, developing different economies based on manufacturing, trade and family farms. Meanwhile, the South's economy became primarily based on large plantations and the cotton industry, which strengthened its dependence on the institution of slavery. These growing economic divisions between the regions eventually manifested as political tensions around states' rights and the balance of power between the federal government and states.
US Histroy I Chap
The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 was a turning point in the American Revolutionary War. On October 17, British General John Burgoyne surrendered to American General Horatio Gates, following Burgoyne's defeat at the second Battle of Saratoga in New York. This encouraged France to ally with the Americans, which was crucial to the colonial victory over the British.
Estados Unidos
The document discusses the construction and expansion of the United States in the 19th century. It describes how the U.S. grew through purchases of land from France, Spain, and Russia as well as annexation of Texas and territories acquired from Mexico after the Mexican-American War. Westward expansion was further enabled by large numbers of European immigrants and high birth rates, growing the population from under 4 million in 1790 to over 132 million in 1940. However, this also led to the conflict over slavery between northern and southern states, resulting in the Civil War from 1861-1865, which was ultimately won by the north. The war was devastating, resulting in over half a million deaths and widespread destruction.

The Early Republic
As the first President of the United States, George Washington faced many challenges in establishing the new government. He assembled the first Cabinet and helped create the federal court system. Alexander Hamilton proposed an ambitious economic plan that included paying off national debt, establishing the Bank of the United States, and implementing protective tariffs. Political divisions emerged in the 1790s with the formation of the Federalist Party led by Hamilton and the Democratic-Republican Party led by Thomas Jefferson, who disagreed on interpreting the Constitution and economic policies.
How the america's changed
1) The document discusses several important themes in 19th century America, including westward expansion, the American Civil War, slavery, immigration, and conflicts with Native American tribes.
2) It also covers events and themes during the Little Ice Age period in Europe such as famine, unpredictable weather, and changes in diet.
3) The document then discusses frontiers in America, including the Louisiana Purchase, independence of Haiti, exploration of the western frontier, and violence and revolution in South America.
Chapter 19 section 1
The post-WWII US economy experienced strong growth fueled by increased consumer demand, the GI Bill, and federal spending on defense and infrastructure. The GI Bill provided education and unemployment benefits for veterans, contributing to a boom in higher education and home construction. A postwar baby boom also increased the population. President Truman faced challenges like inflation, labor unrest, and civil rights issues. His Fair Deal proposals were mostly rejected. President Eisenhower continued economic growth through infrastructure spending while moderating political tensions. The 1950s saw rising prosperity across the US.
Chapter 19 section 1- underlined areas on Chapter 19 Test
The document summarizes the economic transformation of the United States after World War II. It discusses how the GI Bill helped veterans get education, jobs, and housing, fueling economic growth. A postwar baby boom and high demand for consumer goods led to widespread prosperity. Federal spending on defense and foreign demand for U.S. goods under the Marshall Plan also boosted the economy. Under Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, the U.S. experienced significant economic growth and rising living standards, though Truman faced challenges like inflation and labor unrest.
Chapter 19 section Post War America
The document summarizes the economic transformation of the United States after World War II. It discusses how the GI Bill helped veterans get education, jobs, and housing, fueling economic growth. The postwar baby boom and increased demand for consumer goods led to sustained prosperity. Federal spending on defense and foreign demand for U.S. goods from the Marshall Plan also boosted the economy. Under Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, the U.S. experienced significant economic expansion and growth, becoming the richest country in the world, though some challenges around inflation, labor issues, and civil rights remained.
Latin America II
After 1840, Britain established free trade with Latin America, importing goods and providing credit, transportation, and marketing support. This increased economic activity allowed Latin America to pay off debts from its independence era. However, strong centralized governments took longer to form than expected. Liberal policies like free markets and reduced Church power had mixed results, strengthening some nations while civil wars erupted in others. Financial ties to Europe enabled infrastructure development but living standards in rural areas declined as European immigrants dominated certain jobs.
Latin America in the Nineteenth Century.docx
After winning independence from Spain and Portugal, the new Latin American states struggled to achieve stability and progress, facing immense obstacles. Large estates dominated the economy using primitive methods and exploiting labor, while the aristocracy's influence increased. From 1820 to 1870, most countries experienced alternating dictatorships and revolutions, symbolized by strongmen leaders. After 1870, increased foreign investment modernized industries and trade, though Britain and later the U.S. gained control over resources and the region became dependent on outside powers.
The 1950s Economy
After WWII, the US economy transitioned from a wartime to a peacetime economy through programs like the GI Bill and increased consumer demand. This led to steady economic growth and prosperity in the 1950s under Presidents Truman and Eisenhower. The US experienced a postwar baby boom and growth in suburban areas. While inflation was a challenge initially, technological advances and defense spending contributed to increased productivity and a doubling of GDP between 1945-1960, making the US the richest country.
3.4 the great d_statistics_website
The Great Depression was a time of immense social and economic upheaval in Canada during the 1930s. It led to high unemployment rates, poverty, and despair as the economy contracted significantly. The stock market crash of 1929 and rising protectionism exacerbated Canada's economic woes, as the country relied heavily on exporting goods. The Depression spurred demands for government intervention and was the impetus for establishing social programs and institutions still in use today.

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 document summarizes key events of the Vietnam War, including Nixon's Vietnamization policy of withdrawing US troops while increasing bombing, the unpopularity of the war due to massacres like My Lai and protests against the invasion of Cambodia, the leaking of the Pentagon Papers, the last US troops leaving Vietnam in 1973 and Saigon falling to North Vietnam in 1975, and the war's legacy including over 58,000 US troops killed and a loss of faith in the government.
Unit7 notes4
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.
Unit5 notes6
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.
