The document summarizes the consequences of the French and Indian War in the Ohio River Valley region. It discusses how British replaced French rule after the war, but Native Americans did not recognize the land transfers. Pontiac, an Ottawa chief, led attacks on British forts to drive out settlers and return to traditional ways of life. Though the attacks captured several forts, the British ultimately held Fort Detroit. The Proclamation of 1763 banned British settlement west of the Appalachians to avoid further conflict but increased tensions between colonists and Britain.

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.
5d colonial relationships
Great Britain established political and economic control over the colonies following their victory in the French and Indian War, during which they claimed land formerly held by France in North America. To maintain this control, Great Britain imposed strict trade regulations on the colonies, taxed them to repay debts from the war, and appointed colonial governors to enforce British laws and monitor the legislatures. However, this increasing control contributed to growing tensions between Britain and its colonies.
Unit 4 notes 2
The document summarizes key events of the American West in the late 19th century. It discusses the assimilation of Native Americans through the Dawes Act, the near extinction of buffalo by fur traders, and the Wounded Knee massacre that ended the Indian wars. It also outlines how the transcontinental railroad and Homestead Act encouraged settlers to move west to farm the Great Plains, and mentions the hardships settlers faced including droughts, blizzards, and attacks while the frontier closed in the 1890s.
Jamestown and New England
The document provides information about the early English settlement of Jamestown in Virginia in 1607. It states that the original settlers were English adventurers, soldiers, and indentured servants. The leaders included John Smith, John Rolfe, and William Berkeley. The colony was originally established as a charter colony by the Virginia Company but later became a royal colony. It nearly failed due to disease, lack of farming by settlers who were more interested in gold, and attacks by the local Powhatan people. The colony was eventually saved by the leadership of John Smith who forced settlers to work, and the introduction of tobacco as a cash crop.
Indian Relations & Bacon’s Rebellion
Brief Presentation summarizing a few key conflicts between the colonists and Native Americans as well as Nathaniel Bacon's attempt to overthrow the government of Virginia
Unit 4, Lesson 6: Slavery
Slavery began in the American colonies in the early 1500s as the Portuguese began bringing African slaves to the Americas. By 1700, slavery had grown significantly in the southern colonies, where the agricultural economy relied heavily on slave labor. To maintain control over the growing slave population, colonial governments passed slave codes that severely restricted slaves' rights and movement. Throughout this period, slaves resisted their condition through acts like slow work, escape attempts, and occasional rebellions like the large Stono Rebellion in South Carolina in 1739. By the end of the American Civil War in 1865, slavery was abolished across the United States.
British North America 1763-1787
After Britain defeated France in the Seven Years' War, the Treaty of Paris in 1763 transferred control of New France to Britain. This led to tensions between the British, French Canadians, Native Americans, and the 13 American colonies. Pontiac's Rebellion and the Proclamation of 1763 drew a boundary line between Native and colonial lands, further straining relations. These tensions contributed to the American Revolution, during which Britain attempted to keep Quebec loyal through the Quebec Act of 1774. The war resulted in American independence but also established British North America as a separate entity, with many Loyalists migrating there after the war.
Pontiac's Rebellion and Proclamation of 1763
Pontiac's Rebellion was sparked by Chief Pontiac's response to the oppressive policies of British General Amherst towards Native American tribes. Pontiac united many tribes and began attacking British forts in 1763, capturing a total of 8 forts. The rebellion was ended in 1764 under new British leadership, though tensions remained high, as shown by the Paxton Boys attacks on Native Americans and the British Proclamation of 1763 restricting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.

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."
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 5-The Path to Revolution
This document provides a timeline of key events leading up to the American Revolution from both British and American perspectives between 1735-1776. It summarizes key actions taken by the British parliament that angered the colonists, such as new taxes and laws restricting colonial trade. It also outlines the colonial responses, including non-violent protests like boycotts and petitions, as well as significant events like the Boston Tea Party and battles at Lexington and Concord that marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The document establishes the growing tension between the colonies desiring more freedom and self-governance, and the British enforcing tighter control, ultimately leading the colonies to declare independence.
Unit 3, Lesson 3
The document summarizes several major conflicts between European settlers and Native Americans in North America between 1610-1763. It describes the Powhatan Wars between English colonists and the Powhatan Confederacy in Virginia over land. It also discusses the Pequot War where English and allied tribes massacred hundreds of Pequot people. King Philip's War resulted in the death of the Wampanoag chief Metacom and the loss of lives on both sides. The French and Indian War shifted power in North America to the British through the defeat of the French.
8.1 Fighting for Control
The French and Indian War began in 1754 due to conflicting territorial claims between France, England, and Spain in North America. France wanted control of the Mississippi River and sent troops to push out the British from the Ohio River Valley, which England viewed as an act of war. Though the British colonies sent delegates to decide how to handle the war, they did not take united action as a country. As the war expanded to Europe, Britain began winning battles in the Americas. The 1763 Treaty of Paris ended the war, forcing France to cede lands east of the Mississippi to Britain and Spain. However, tensions rose again as colonists ignored the Proclamation of 1763 banning white settlement west of the Appalachians, and
The French and Indian War
The document provides background on the French and Indian War between Britain and France over land in North America. It describes how Native American tribes had to choose whether to ally with the British or French. The British strategy was to invade Canada and take Quebec, while the French sought to defend Quebec and encourage Indian attacks on American colonists. The war resulted in British victory and control of most French territory in North America per the Treaty of Paris in 1763.

Unit 2 Post Test essay review
The document summarizes key events and groups in the lead up to the American Revolution:
1) The Proclamation of 1763 restricted colonial settlement beyond the Appalachian Mountains to avoid further conflict with Native Americans living in those areas.
2) As rebellion grew against British rule, the colonies divided between Patriots who supported independence and Loyalists who remained loyal to England.
3) The Boston Massacre, in which British soldiers fired into a crowd killing colonists, was seen differently by the colonists and England - the colonists viewed it as murder while England argued the soldiers acted in self defense against a mob.
Taming the Heartland
The Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862-1865 chartered the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads to build the transcontinental railroad. The railroads received loans of $16,000-$48,000 per mile of track laid and 10 square miles of land for each mile built. The railroad was completed in 1869, connecting the eastern and western United States by rail and enabling the transport of cattle from Texas to markets in the central plains. Ranchers began fencing in their land with barbed wire and raising more docile breeds of cattle as long cattle drives became impractical. Farming technologies like steel plows, mechanical reapers, and grain drills helped make farming the prairie lands viable.
Notes 8 2.4
The document summarizes the different groups involved in the American Revolutionary War in South Carolina and their perspectives. It notes that while some colonists supported independence from Britain, known as Patriots, others remained loyal to the King, called Loyalists. This led to civil war in South Carolina between Patriots and Loyalists. It also discusses the roles of women, African Americans, and Native Americans during the conflict.
The war effects on sc 8 4.6
The Civil War had widespread impacts across social classes in South Carolina. For plantation owners, many served in the Confederate army while others were exempt, but their wealth depended on slaves who were now freed. The lower classes disproportionately served and died in the war. Women were left to run plantations during hard times with shortages. Emancipated slaves gained freedom by joining the Union army, though still faced discrimination. Children assisted on farms and some young boys enlisted, leaving many fatherless after the war.
Give Me Liberty
The document summarizes the key events that led to the American Revolution, including Britain imposing taxes on the colonies to pay for wars without colonial representation, colonists being forbidden from settling west of the Appalachians, and acts like the Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Intolerable Acts that angered colonists and restricted colonial autonomy. Growing tensions over taxation and control culminated in the Boston Tea Party, prompting Britain to pass the Intolerable Acts, further unifying the colonies toward revolution.
Imperial crisis and resistance to great britian
The document summarizes several key events that increased tensions between the American colonies and Britain in the late 18th century leading up to the American Revolution. It discusses the Proclamation Line of 1763, the Paxton Boys attacks on Native Americans, colonial reactions to new taxes like the Stamp Act, the Boston Massacre, and concludes with a overview of the Intolerable Acts passed by Britain in response to the Boston Tea Party.
Maryland Homestead
This document describes a 14-acre rural property for sale in Washington County, Maryland near the Antietam and Gettysburg battlefields. The property includes a German stone house built in 1775 and a stone cottage built around 1809 located along Beaver Creek, which contains several fish species and can be viewed from a one-lane bridge.
Loyalists Vs. Patriots
Two groups emerged during the American Revolution - Patriots who supported independence from Britain, and Loyalists who supported continued allegiance to the King. Loyalists tended to be older, wealthier merchants and landowners, as well as members of the Church of England. They made up around 15-20% of the white population. After the war, many Loyalists fled the colonies. Patriots came from a variety of backgrounds but were generally well-educated and wealthy, as well as ordinary farmers and workers who disliked British taxation policies. They argued the colonies were not represented in Parliament and Britain could not tax or legislate for them without representation.
Presentation2
Daniel Boone was born in Pennsylvania in 1734 and spent his youth hunting. During the French and Indian War, he served with the British and became a hunter. In 1773, Boone established the first British colony in Kentucky by packing up his family and blazing the Wilderness Road. He went on to create the settlements of Boonesborough and Harrodsburg in 1775. During the American Revolution, many settlers left Kentucky or moved into fortified towns due to allying Indians. Boone was later captured by Shawnee Indians in 1778 but escaped back to Boonesborough. He died on September 26, 1820.
Loyalists vs. Patriots
The American Revolution was also a civil war, as colonists were divided between those who supported remaining under British rule as Loyalists or Tories, and those who favored independence as Patriots or Rebels. Key figures like Patrick Henry and Joseph Galloway advocated passionately for their opposing views on this divisive issue. Ultimately, the colonies declared independence from Britain in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence, but the conflict was not fully resolved until the Revolutionary War ended.
Unit 3, Lesson 6
This document discusses the key leaders in the struggle for American Indian lands between the late 18th century and late 19th century. It outlines leaders who fought for Native American rights, such as Tecumseh who united tribes to defend their lands, and Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse who led resistance against U.S. seizure of the Black Hills. It also discusses pro-Native leaders like John Ross who defended Cherokee land rights in court. Meanwhile, President Andrew Jackson supported the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that displaced many Native Americans. Overall, the document provides a history of the leadership and events on both sides during the long-running conflict over ownership of Native American territories.
Settling the west
After the Civil War, settlers moved West seeking opportunities in mining, farming, and ranching, though life was difficult and the landscape harsh. Railroads accelerated westward migration and the transport of cattle during this period. As settlers increasingly moved onto lands inhabited by Native Americans, many tribes lost their homelands and way of life, culminating in broken treaties, forced relocations to reservations, and ultimately armed conflicts such as the Battle of Little Bighorn and Wounded Knee Massacre.
The american revolution
The American Revolution took place in the late 18th century as the 13 American colonies sought to break free from unjust British laws and heavy taxes imposed after the French and Indian War. Tensions rose throughout the 1760s and 1770s as acts like the Stamp Act, Quartering Act, and taxation on tea angered colonists. Key events like the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, and battles of Lexington and Concord marked the start of armed conflict between American militias and British troops. Finally, the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, establishing the United States as a new independent nation.

This led to unrest in the colonies, as the British government sought greater control over the colonies and their trade. Events like the Boston Tea Party and acts like the Stamp Act exacerbated tensions between Britain and its American colonies.
The French and Indian War
The document discusses the origins and key events of the French and Indian War between the French and English in North America from the 1750s to the 1760s. It began as tensions rose between the French and English over territorial expansion in the Ohio Valley. One of the early battles was led by a young George Washington against the French at Fort Necessity. The war then escalated and involved the governments of France and Britain directly. Britain eventually gained control over much of North America after capturing Quebec in 1759. This shifted the balance of power but also increased tensions between the British and American colonists over control of the newly acquired western lands.
The fFench and Indian War
The document provides background information on the French and Indian War between France and Britain for control over North America. It discusses:
1) How the French and British recruited Native American allies by adopting different strategies - the French integrated with tribes while the British destroyed Native American lands.
2) The military strategies employed by each side, with the British aiming to take Quebec and the French defending Quebec and attacking colonial settlements.
3) Key events and outcomes of the war, including the British eventually claiming victory after several losses and gaining French territories in North America per the 1763 Treaty of Paris, reshaping the colonial landscape.
Road to revolution
The Currency Act of 1764 prohibited the American colonies from issuing paper currency and effectively took control of the colonial currency system by banning any new bills or reissuing of existing currency. This caused monetary problems for the colonies by restricting their money supply. The colonies protested strongly against this act as it exacerbated their trade deficit with Britain and shortage of hard capital.

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.
The french and indian war
The French and Indian War was a conflict between France and Britain in North America from 1754 to 1763. Most Native American tribes fought alongside the French. While the French initially had success, the tide turned when William Pitt became Britain's Prime Minister and increased funding. British forces then captured Quebec and Montreal. The 1763 Treaty of Paris ended the war, ceding Canada and territories east of the Mississippi to Britain. However, Native Americans were unhappy with the treaty and Pontiac's War broke out against British settlers. King George then issued the Proclamation of 1763 to curb westward expansion and ease tensions.
Standard 3
The main causes of the American Revolution included growing tensions between the British colonies and Britain after the French and Indian War. This was exacerbated by Britain imposing new taxes on the colonies through acts like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts to pay off war debts. Colonists strongly protested these taxes, leading to events like the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party. In response, Britain passed the Intolerable Acts, further angering colonists and pushing them towards declaring independence from Britain.
Sections 1 & 2: The Road to Independence
The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Revolution, including the French and Indian War, tensions that arose between Britain and its American colonies, and British policies that angered the colonists, such as new taxes. The French and Indian War weakened colonial loyalty to Britain and left the colonists feeling Britain did not respect them. This led Britain to impose taxes on the colonies through acts like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. Colonists protested, leading to the Intolerable Acts targeting Massachusetts in response to the Boston Tea Party. Overall, the document outlines the growing conflicts between Britain and its American colonies in the late 18th century that ultimately led to the Revolutionary War.
The french and_indian_war
The French and Indian War began as a series of conflicts between England, France, and Spain from 1689 to 1754 over territorial claims in North America. England and France both claimed the Ohio River Valley, leading George Washington to fire on French soldiers in 1754, sparking open war. The British captured the key French forts of Duquesne and Montreal by 1760, gaining control of most of North America east of the Mississippi River but also accumulating massive war debts. To help pay these debts and maintain control, Parliament began taxing the American colonies through acts like the Sugar Act, Quartering Act, and Stamp Act in 1764-1765, fueling colonial opposition and resentment.
Paper 9 - Brian A. Holcombe
Pontiac addressed native brothers, stating the importance of defending their homeland in the Ohio Valley against the English, who had replaced the French as proprietors of North America and shown little care for Indians. Refugees had gathered in the Ohio Valley after being removed from their homes by British colonists. Prophets like Neolin promoted an Indian Great Awakening and rejection of dependence on English goods, helping to unite separate nations against the British threat. They fought to preserve their beliefs and homeland, though the military result was ultimately unsuccessful.
Part 1 Revolutionary War
George Washington was sent by the governor of Virginia to deliver an important letter to the French military leader in the Ohio River Valley in 1753. The letter ordered the French to leave the region, but Washington returned with the reply that the French would not give up the land without a fight. Tensions increased between the French, Native Americans, and British as they all claimed interests in the fertile Ohio River Valley and fought for control over the lucrative fur trade.

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.
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 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.

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

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.

It also discusses the Battle of Palo Duro Canyon in September 1874, where Colonel Ranald Mackenzie launched a surprise attack against Comanche villages, killing three Comanche and destroying their supplies, villages, and 1400 horses. The Battle of Palo Duro Canyon was a decisive victory that forced the Plains Indians to accept life on reservations.
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 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.
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.

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.
