Hw#3 colonial regions
The document summarizes the social, political, and economic development of the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies based on their geography. It describes that the New England colonies focused on religious freedom and subsistence farming due to their rocky soil and short growing seasons. The Middle colonies served as the "breadbasket" through grain farming and had a diverse society with representative government. The Southern colonies specialized in cash crops like tobacco and cotton grown by slaves on large plantations due to their warm climate and fertile soil.
Hw #11 bill of rights
This document outlines several rights guaranteed to American citizens by the Bill of Rights, including freedom of religion, speech, press and assembly. It also guarantees the right to bear arms, protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, due process, and rights of the accused such as a public and speedy trial. The document notes that other individual rights and state powers are also addressed in the Bill of Rights.
Hw#10
The document outlines the key principles of the US Constitution. It begins by explaining that the Preamble introduces the Constitution and establishes that "We the people" created the US government. It then lists the 6 main principles as separation of powers, checks and balances, popular sovereignty, republicanism, federalism, and supremacy of national laws/judicial review. It provides details about each principle, such as how separation of powers divides the government into three branches and how federalism divides power between the national and state governments. The document aims to explain the foundational rules and beliefs that guide the Constitution.

The American Revolutionary War was won through a combination of strategic military victories by American forces and support from European allies like France. Key battles like Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown weakened the British military position. Meanwhile, the Americans utilized local knowledge and guerilla tactics to offset the strengths of the British army. The entry of France into the war after the American victory at Saratoga turned the tide in favor of the colonists and ultimately led to British recognition of American independence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
Hw#13 adams
John Adam's presidency was defined by tensions with Great Britain and France during the Quasi-War. The British attacked American ships bound for Europe, while France grew angry over Jay's Treaty which favored British trade. Adams sent diplomats to France to negotiate, but the French demanded a bribe, fueling anti-French sentiment. Adams signed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts to deport dangerous aliens and suppress criticism of the government. This increased partisan conflicts between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans over states' rights and federal power.
Hw#18
The War of 1812 was caused by tensions between the United States and Britain over maritime rights and the impressment of American sailors. Britain and France were engaged in the Napoleonic Wars and interfered with American merchant shipping. While President Madison attempted diplomacy, harassment of American shipping and the kidnapping of sailors led pro-war factions to push for a declaration of war in 1812. The war ended in stalemate by the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, but the Battle of New Orleans solidified American national pride after the war.
Hw#21 ppt
The Indian Removal Act of 1830 authorized the president to negotiate treaties to move Native American tribes west of the Mississippi River. This led to the forced removal of the Cherokee nation from their lands in Georgia along the Trail of Tears, where over 4,000 Cherokee died as they were forced to march over 800 miles to Oklahoma at gunpoint. The name "Trail of Tears" comes from the Cherokee translation of the immense suffering they endured during the removal.

Hw#26 abolition movement ppt
The document summarizes key aspects of the abolition movement in the United States, including the conditions slaves faced, Nat Turner's rebellion, and prominent abolitionist leaders and their efforts. It describes the daily hardships of slaves, such as living in poor conditions without rights. It also outlines Turner's rebellion and the increased restrictions placed on slaves afterwards. Finally, it discusses influential abolitionists like Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Harriet Tubman, and their roles in advocating for emancipation through newspapers, speeches, books, and aiding the Underground Railroad.
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.
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.
Hw#24 the california gold rush of 1849
The California Gold Rush began in 1848 when gold was discovered by James Marshall at Sutter's Mill near Sacramento. Word of the discovery quickly spread, with some 80,000 prospectors, called "forty-niners", traveling to California in 1849 hoping to strike it rich. The influx of miners and settlers transformed California, leading to its statehood in 1850. While some miners succeeded in finding gold, others faced harsh conditions and discrimination, especially Chinese immigrants. The Gold Rush spurred major economic and population growth in California and the western United States.
Hw#31 immigration
The document discusses three waves of immigration to the United States: Old immigrants from northern Europe between 1600-1850 who settled on farms in the Midwest; New immigrants from southern and eastern Europe between 1860-1920 who moved to cities in the Northeast and worked in factories and mines; and modern immigrants since 1965 from Latin America and Asia. It notes the reasons for immigration included economic opportunities, religious/political persecution, and the promise of freedoms in the US. New immigrants initially arrived at Ellis Island or Angel Island and faced inspections before entering the country. Their expectations of America contrasted with the difficult living conditions they encountered in urban tenements and sweatshops. The massive immigration during this period resulted in a population shift from rural to urban
1.cold war kennedy
Cold War tensions increased during the 1960s due to escalating conflicts between the US and Soviet Union, such as the Bay of Pigs invasion, Berlin Wall, and Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought the two superpowers closest to nuclear war. President Kennedy worked to contain communism through policies like the Peace Corps but also faced challenges from the USSR, most dangerously when Soviet missiles were placed in Cuba. These events heightened fears of communism and nuclear conflict between the US and Soviet Union during the Cold War.
1.ww2
The document discusses the rise of totalitarian governments in Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Soviet Union in the 1930s-1940s and their aggressive actions which led countries like the UK and France to form an Allied alliance. It also discusses how the US initially pursued isolationism but began providing aid to the UK through Lend-Lease and faced growing threats from Japan in Asia, culminating in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 which caused the US to enter World War 2 by declaring war on Japan.
3.wwii end
The document discusses the Nuremberg trials held after World War II. The Nuremberg trials were a series of 13 trials held in Nuremberg, Germany between 1945 and 1949 to prosecute Nazi war criminals. Key people from the Nazi Party, military, and German industries were charged with crimes against peace and crimes against humanity. The trials established an international court for dealing with genocide and other crimes against humanity.
End of cold war
(1) Iraq invaded and occupied Kuwait in 1990, which led the United States to lead a coalition to force Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait. (2) The Persian Gulf War was a decisive victory that restored Kuwait's sovereignty and boosted American morale and confidence after the Vietnam War. It erased the "Vietnam Syndrome" by demonstrating that the United States military could achieve a swift victory with few casualties.
African americans civil rights movement
While progress has been made, African Americans still face challenges in achieving full equality, justice and equal treatment under the law. More work remains to dismantle systemic racism and ensure all people are treated fairly regardless of race.
Hw#17 voting rights
Voting rights in the US have expanded over time. Originally only white male landowners could vote. African Americans gained the right to vote with the 15th Amendment in 1870, but still faced barriers like literacy tests and poll taxes. The 24th Amendment banned poll taxes in 1964. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 reinforced protections. Women gained the right to vote in 1920 via the 19th Amendment. American Indians became citizens in 1924. The District of Columbia gained voting rights in 1961 under the 23rd Amendment. The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18 in 1971.
Jamestown&Plymouth
Europeans colonized North America for religious, economic, and political reasons: to convert native people to Christianity, acquire wealth for themselves and their home countries, and increase their home countries' power. They settled in various regions, including Spain, Africa, Japan, China, and established colonies. Contact between European settlers and native Americans led to an exchange of ideas, diseases, and conflicts, which sometimes resulted in wars or treaties.
French and indian war
The document provides background information on the French and Indian War (1754-1763), including:
- The key parties in the war were the French, British, and various Native American groups, who fought over land disputes in the Ohio River Valley.
- As a result of their victory, the British gained control of French territory in Canada and much of the North American mainland east of the Mississippi River under the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
- However, the war increased British debt and tensions with Native American tribes. It also united the American colonies in war but created resentment towards subsequent British policies like the Proclamation Line of 1763 restricting westward colonial expansion.
Hw#33 labor unions
Labor unions used collective bargaining and strikes to attempt to improve working conditions for workers. Through collective bargaining, unions would negotiate with employers to reach agreements on issues like wages, hours, and safety conditions. If negotiations failed, unions would call strikes as a tactic to put pressure on employers. However, early strikes were often met with violence from employers, police, and use of federal troops. Over time, unions continued to organize and use strikes to gain bargaining power and protections, such as the Wagner Act which legally protected the right to unionize.
Hw#31
Industrialization and urbanization in the United States had some negative impacts. Industrialization led to poor working conditions in factories and pollution from manufacturing. Urbanization resulted in overcrowded cities with inadequate housing, infrastructure, and public services for the large populations that migrated to urban areas for work in the late 19th century.
Hw#28
The document discusses whether late 19th century American industrialists should be remembered as "robber barons" or "captains of industry". It provides context on trusts, monopolies, and laissez-faire economic policies that allowed businesses like Carnegie Steel, Standard Oil, and J.P. Morgan's companies to consolidate power with little government interference. While some viewed the industrialists' tactics critically and called them robber barons, others maintained they acted as captains of industry by increasing productivity and jobs.
Hw#4 principles of the constitution
The document outlines the six key principles of the US Constitution:
1. Separation of powers which divides government into three branches
2. Checks and balances where each branch limits the power of the others through veto powers and overrides
3. Popular sovereignty whereby the government derives its power from the people
4. Republicanism ensuring government is run by elected representatives of the people
5. Federalism dividing power between national and state governments
6. Supremacy of national laws and judicial review giving the national government authority over states and the Supreme Court power to invalidate laws.
Hw#4 principles of the constitution
The document outlines the six key principles of the US Constitution:
1. Separation of powers which divides the government into three branches.
2. Checks and balances where each branch limits the power of the others through veto powers, judicial oversight, and legislative overrides.
3. Popular sovereignty which establishes that the government's authority comes from the people.
Hw#4 mercantilism
Mercantilism was an economic system where countries aimed to export more than they imported in order to accumulate wealth. Under this system, colonies provided raw materials to their "mother country" since importing goods was discouraged. Great Britain passed laws like the Navigation Acts to enforce mercantilism and benefit themselves. However, they needed more labor from colonies to produce goods like wood and cotton. This led to the growth of the transatlantic slave trade, as slaves provided a source of free labor that could meet the increasing demands of mercantilism.
Washington-DuBois-Garvey
This document discusses different approaches taken by Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Marcus Garvey to address problems faced by African Americans after the Reconstruction era. Washington advocated for vocational training and cooperation between blacks and whites to achieve economic prosperity and social equality. Du Bois argued for consistent advocacy of civil and social rights to ensure equal opportunities and safety. Garvey promoted the creation of black nations in Africa as the only solution due to overcrowding in America threatening African Americans. Students are asked to determine which approach they feel would be most effective.
Reconstruction
This document discusses the Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). The key details are:
- In 1890, Louisiana passed a law requiring "equal but separate accommodations" for black and white races on railway trains.
- In 1892, Homer Plessy, who was of mixed race, refused to move to the segregated car for black passengers and was arrested.
- The case went to the Supreme Court to determine if the law violated the 13th and 14th Amendments.
- The Court ruled against Plessy, establishing the "separate but equal" doctrine that allowed racial segregation if facilities were equal, which effectively upheld Jim Crow laws.
Lincoln's actions ppt
Lincoln tried to preserve the Union during the Civil War in several ways:
1) In his first inaugural address, he pledged there would be no war unless the South started it and that his goal was to preserve the Union and stop the spread of slavery, not necessarily end it.
2) He suspended habeas corpus in 1861 to arrest Confederate sympathizers and prevent rebellion.
3) He issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which freed all slaves in rebelling Confederate states and changed the purpose of the war to one of freeing slaves in addition to preserving the Union.
4) He called for a military draft in 1863 to bolster the Union army.

Slavery compromises
The document summarizes several compromises that were attempted in the United States in the 1800s to address the issue of expanding slavery into new western territories:
- The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to enter the union as a slave state but banned slavery in territories above the 36°30' parallel, except Missouri.
- The Compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state, organized Utah and New Mexico with popular sovereignty, and strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act.
- The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 also organized the territories of Kansas and Nebraska with popular sovereignty, fueling tensions and violence known as "Bleeding Kansas" over the slavery issue.
Sectionalism
The document discusses sectionalism in the United States brought about by the westward expansion and the issue of whether new territories should enter the union as slave or free states. It provides discussion questions and tasks for students, including having them read positions from Calhoun and Webster on the issue and respond with a mock tweet agreeing with one of them.
Homestead & pacific railway acts copy
The United States encouraged settlement of the West through two key laws:
1. The Homestead Act of 1862 gave land to settlers who farmed the land for 5 years, aiming to encourage migration. However, many struggled to meet requirements or afford keeping the lands.
2. The Pacific Railway Act provided land grants and funding to railroad companies to build a transcontinental railroad, linking the East and West coasts and facilitating migration. This increased migration to the Western interior but also brought challenges.
Hw#23 the california gold rush of 1849
The California Gold Rush began in 1848 when gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill by James Marshall. News of the discovery spread quickly, attracting around 80,000 prospectors, known as "forty-niners", to California in 1849 hoping to strike it rich. The Gold Rush transformed California from a sparsely-populated territory into a major economic force, leading to its statehood in 1850. While some prospectors succeeded in finding gold, most failed and boom towns came and went as mining sites were depleted.
Manifest destiny ppt
1) Americans justified westward expansion through the belief in "Manifest Destiny", the idea that it was God's plan for America to control all of North America.
2) They expanded westward through various means such as treaties, purchases of territory like the Louisiana Purchase, and wars with Mexico which resulted in additional land acquisitions.
3) Between 1820 and 1850, 4 million Americans moved west, helping to populate and claim more of the western lands, furthering the cause of Manifest Destiny.
Mexican american war-causes (1)
The United States annexed Texas in 1845, which Mexico still claimed as its territory. This caused a border dispute between the Rio Grande and Nueces Rivers. Tensions escalated after U.S. troops occupied the Rio Grande, which Mexico saw as an invasion. In 1846, shots were fired between U.S. and Mexican soldiers, prompting President Polk to ask Congress to declare war on Mexico.
Indian removal
President Andrew Jackson's signing of the Indian Removal Act and its impact on Native Americans is examined. Students are asked to choose whether they want to hear from President Jackson defending the Act or from Native Americans explaining how it affected them. A political cartoon portrays Jackson and the treatment of indigenous people, and students are prompted to discuss whether the Cherokees were uncivilized and if Jackson should remain on the $20 bill.
Andrew jackson
Andrew Jackson advanced the cause of democracy in some ways but may have also inhibited it in others. He was described as a "common man" president who helped expand suffrage, but he also opposed the National Bank and centralized federal power in the presidency. Overall, the document discusses whether Jackson's presidency advanced or inhibited democracy in the United States.
Voting rights
The document discusses how voting rights in the United States have changed over time.
