The Colony of Virginia was founded by John Smith to provide religious freedom and economic opportunities. It offered settlers the chance to escape religious persecution in England and the ability to get rich through agriculture. Virginia had a constitutional monarchy government and a hot, humid climate suited for the colony's lucrative cash crops of tobacco, wheat, and corn which formed the base of its economy.

Battles Of Lexington And Concord
The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War. On Paul Revere's famous ride, he warned the Patriots that the British were coming to seize military supplies stored in Concord. When the British arrived, the first shots were fired in Lexington, though it's unclear who fired first. Though the British were able to seize some supplies in Concord, they gained little of significance due to warnings and the Patriots' preparations.
THE FIRST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS
The First Continental Congress met in Philadelphia from September 5 to October 26, 1774. Delegates from 12 of the 13 colonies attended except Georgia. They were united in showing a combined authority to Great Britain. The Congress drafted a statement of grievances against 13 Acts of Parliament passed since 1763 that violated colonial rights based on natural law and English principles. They voted to boycott British goods and trade and endorsed the Suffolk Resolves prepared in Massachusetts that called for arming militias against the British, foreshadowing the coming war in the spring.
Compromise Of 1850
The Compromise of 1850 was a series of five bills that addressed the issues around the spread of slavery to new territories added to the United States. The bills allowed California to join as a free state, established popular sovereignty in Utah and New Mexico to decide their status, adjusted the borders between Texas and New Mexico, abolished the slave trade in Washington D.C., and passed a stricter Fugitive Slave Act. The compromise was meant to balance northern free and southern slave interests to keep the country united.
Geography Of Virginia
This document discusses the geography and regions of Virginia. It identifies the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay as bodies of water that border Virginia. Virginia borders North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Maryland. The document then describes Virginia's five regions - the Tidewater, Piedmont, Blue Ridge Mountains, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau regions - and provides one or two key details about the geography of each region.
Mexican-American War
The Mexican-American War occurred between 1846 and 1848 and was caused by American overpopulation of Mexican lands and Mexico's failure to uphold contracts with the United States. President James K. Polk wanted the war to justify taking Mexican lands to fulfill Manifest Destiny and prevent European colonization. The war doubled the size of the United States and resulted in the Mexican Cession, giving the U.S. new lands and Mexicans American citizenship, but also reignited domestic issues over slavery and caused turmoil in Mexico.
James madison slide show
James Madison was born in 1751 in Virginia and was known as the Father of the Constitution. He helped write the Constitution to replace the weak Articles of Confederation. Madison later served as the 4th President of the United States from 1809 to 1817.
The 2nd continental congress
The 2nd Continental Congress met in May 1775 in Philadelphia to govern the colonies and deal with Great Britain, as the colonies needed leadership after clashes began. It established the Continental Army under George Washington to better train colonial soldiers against the British, and took on roles like running the postal service and printing money. While some delegates still hoped to remain with Britain, others like John Adams pushed for independence, though an Olive Branch Petition to peacefully resolve taxes instead provoked more conflict.
McCulloch v. Maryland
The Supreme Court first settled a dispute between a national and state law in 1819 in the McCulloch v. Maryland case. The case concerned a tax placed by Maryland on the Baltimore branch of the Second Bank of the United States. The cashier of the branch, James McCulloch, refused to pay the tax. When the state courts ruled against McCulloch, he appealed to the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Marshall wrote the decision, holding that Congress had the power to incorporate the national bank under the Necessary and Proper Clause. Marshall also established that states cannot impede or control federal law. Therefore, the Court denied Maryland's power to tax the national bank.

Prelude to the Revolutionary War
The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was a conflict between Britain and France over colonial territories in North America. As a result of their victory, Britain gained control of French territories east of the Mississippi River through the Treaty of Paris in 1763. In an attempt to manage tensions with Native Americans, Britain then issued the Proclamation of 1763 which prohibited colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. However, the costs of the war led Britain to pass new taxes on the American colonies through acts like the Stamp Act of 1765, sparking colonial protests and resentment at "taxation without representation", key events that contributed to the American Revolution.

The Articles Of Confederation
The document summarizes the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States from 1781-1787. It established a weak national government with most power held by the individual states. Though it allowed for the orderly governance and westward expansion during and after the Revolutionary War, its weaknesses were exposed by events like Shay's Rebellion, leading to calls to reform the national government structure.
Creating the constitution
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established procedures for governing new western territories acquired by the United States under the Treaty of Paris in 1783. It provided for territorial governors and outlawed slavery in the territories. The Articles of Confederation failed because it did not allow the federal government to collect taxes, issue currency, or act effectively, making it weak. Americans were concerned about Shays' Rebellion as it showed Congress could not defend the country and they feared the new nation was falling apart.
The Civil War
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. In response, South Carolina seceded from the Union in December 1860 and formed the Confederate States of America in February 1861. The Civil War began in April 1861 when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Over the next four years, there were many major battles between Union and Confederate forces across rivers, coastlines, and states as the Union tried to regain control and split the Confederacy through its Anaconda Plan blockade. Key battles and events shifted momentum between the North and South until General Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House in April 1865, effectively ending the Civil War.

He was captured along with 21 men, including 5 black men, and was later hanged for his actions. The raid gained significant attention as it showed the divide between abolitionists in the North and pro-slavery advocates in the South. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act and Dred Scott decision inflamed tensions by renewing hopes of expanding slavery and ruling that blacks could not be citizens, pushing Brown and others to take action. His raid was seen as a catalyst for the eventual Civil War as it demonstrated the North was willing to use force and increased political tensions between free and slave states.

The document is a first person account written by Jonathan Covarrubias explaining his decision to migrate from England to the middle colonies in 1720. He was orphaned and struggling to survive with little opportunity in England. After much consideration of the politics, religions, economies, and stories from other migrants, he decided the middle colonies offered the best opportunity. The middle colonies had diverse settlers and religions were tolerated. He planned to start as an indentured servant and work his way up to owning a farm and business.

The passage discusses how Lady Macbeth affected the Jacobean era in England. Lady Macbeth embodied traits that King James I feared in women, such as independence, aggression, and threatening the natural social order. Her powerful ambition and manipulation of Macbeth echoed real women that King James had persecuted. Lady Macbeth's dominance and ruthlessness without using magic paralleled how some women in Shakespeare's time were executed simply for being accused of witchcraft, not for actually engaging in harmful practices. Her character played on King James' fears of powerful, ambitious women who could achieve their goals without men.
Nazarene fundbrochure
The document is about the Nazarene Fund, an initiative of Mercury One dedicated to evacuating vulnerable Christians from Iraq and Syria to safer countries. Between now and December 2015, the goal is to raise $10 million to save over 400 families from ISIS-controlled regions. For $25,000, one family of 5 can be evacuated and supported for one year. The document provides statistics on Christians displaced from Syria and appeals for donations of $37.32 to help fund the evacuation of hundreds of Christians at risk of execution or sex slavery if they do not convert to Islam.
Annihilation of Agatu
Over 500 people were murdered and over 10,000 internally displaced in attacks in Agatu, Nigeria. The attacks are blamed on Fulani nomadic herdsmen whose grazing routes have expanded further south amid environmental changes. The victims are the Agatu people, predominantly Christian farmers occupying over 100 villages along the Benue River. As farmers and herdsmen compete for land, ethnic and communal conflicts have increased since independence. The document calls for an independent investigation, humanitarian aid, prosecution of attackers, and for the Nigerian government to protect citizens and find a solution to the ongoing conflicts.
Annihilation of agatu
Over 500 people were murdered and over 10,000 displaced in attacks in Agatu by Fulani herdsmen. The Agatu people are predominantly Christian farmers who have inhabited the area for generations, while the Fulani have lived as nomadic herders for over 1,500 years. Increased desertification is causing the Fulani's grazing routes to move further south, exacerbating conflicts with farmers over land. A petition calls for an end to attacks and justice for the Agatu people, noting that under Nigeria's constitution all citizens have the right to live freely throughout the country. Ongoing conflicts between farmers and herders over land will continue to be a challenge for Nigeria to manage peacefully.
Chapter 4 section 2 2013
Colonial families had different structures depending on whether they lived on farms or in cities. On farms, extended families worked together and everyone had responsibilities. In cities, it was easier to live alone as a single person in a boarding house or as a servant. Men had authority over the household and women were expected to marry for economic and religious reasons rather than love, taking on domestic duties. Children also had household responsibilities from a young age. Colonial society was stratified, with social class determined mainly by land ownership. The upper class included wealthy landowners while the middle class comprised farmers and artisans. Indentured servants contracted their labor temporarily in exchange for passage to America.

The document summarizes life in the American colonies, including differences between the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. In the New England colonies, nearly all residents were Puritans who believed in strict religious rules.
