The document discusses the distinction between free people of color and former slaves after the end of slavery. Free people of color often provided leadership to newly freed slaves due to their advantages in education and experience. In both Haiti and the post-Civil War United States South, leaders of the free black community like Toussaint Louverture and elected officials were often former free men of color. Many educated northern free blacks also moved South after the Civil War to help the freed slaves.

Learn about the economic mysteries in history. Why did the colonists go to war when they were free and prosperous? What were the economic causes and effects of the Declaration of Independence?
The document discusses several key barriers to civil rights for Black Americans up to 1941, including legal impediments, lack of political influence, and the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Legally, the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision upheld racial segregation. Politically, Southern states used measures like poll taxes and literacy tests to prevent most Black Americans from voting. Meanwhile, the resurgent Ku Klux Klan used intimidation and violence to oppress Black communities and deter civil rights efforts.
The document discusses factors that contributed to the growth of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement after 1945. It provides background on key events like the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision outlawing segregation in schools. It also discusses the experiences of Black soldiers in World War II, the role of leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., and the emergence of civil rights organizations. The document contains knowledge points, analysis, and sources to help students understand and write an essay on reasons for the growth of the Civil Rights Movement after 1945.
This document provides an overview of lessons and activities related to teaching economics and history concepts through analyzing the early United States economy and government under the Articles of Confederation and United States Constitution. It includes links to primary sources, videos, and interactive activities about influential figures, problems under the Articles of Confederation, the Constitutional Convention, the Bill of Rights, and how the Constitution's rules and principles have shaped the American economy.
Howard Zinn was a historian and author born in 1922 who wrote A People's History of the United States challenging standard narratives. He participated in WWII bombings that killed civilians. In 2004, he published Voices of a People's History with primary sources. The Zinn Education Project was later launched using A People's History in classrooms. Mendez v. Westminster in 1946 challenged school segregation in California, ruling it unconstitutional and influencing Brown v. Board of Education.
The document discusses various barriers to civil rights for African Americans in the United States up until 1941, including legal impediments like Jim Crow laws, a lack of political influence due to black disenfranchisement, and violent activities by the Ku Klux Klan aimed at intimidating and terrorizing the black community. Legal segregation and the Supreme Court's endorsement of the "separate but equal" doctrine in Plessy v. Ferguson cemented racial discrimination into law. Widespread voter suppression tactics prevented most black Americans from participating in the political process.
The document summarizes key people and events of the American Revolutionary War. It identifies important individuals including King George III of Britain, General Lord Cornwallis, John Adams, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and Benjamin Franklin. Key events discussed are the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, First Continental Congress, Battles of Lexington and Concord, approval of the Declaration of Independence, Battle of Saratoga, surrender at Yorktown, and signing of the Treaty of Paris.
Prior to European arrival, American Indian tribes lived across diverse environments in North America. The document discusses where several tribes lived, including the Inuit in Arctic Alaska and northern Canada, the Kwakiutl along the rainy Pacific Northwest coast, the Lakota on the dry Great Plains grasslands, the Pueblo in desert areas of the Southwest near cliffs and mountains, and the Iroquois in the heavily forested Eastern Woodlands. These tribes still exist today, with members living both in their traditional homelands and other parts of North America.
The document provides information about various topics related to colonial America and early United States history. It begins with descriptions of the Articles of Confederation, the Bill of Rights, the three colonial regions, life as a farmer and artisan in the colonies, key events like Lexington and Concord and the Louisiana Purchase, and the resources and specializations of each region. It then discusses topics like indentured servants, the Declaration of Independence, roles of women, the Boston Massacre, large landowners, and the Treaty of Paris. The document concludes with sections on economic relationships, slaves, social life in New England, checks and balances, and details about the Revolutionary War period.
The document outlines several key weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, including that it provided for a weak national government with no power to tax or regulate commerce. Additionally, it did not establish a common currency or separate executive and judicial branches. Each state also had an equal vote regardless of population size.
The solar system consists of the Sun and eight planets that orbit it in the same direction and plane. The planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The solar system also contains moons, asteroids, comets and other small bodies. Earth stands out as the only planet known to support life, due to the presence of liquid water on its surface and an atmosphere that enables a stable temperature through the greenhouse effect. The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and influences tides on Earth through their gravitational interaction.
The interactions between American Indians and European settlers ranged from cooperation to conflict. The Spanish conquered and enslaved Native Americans while also spreading Christianity and diseases. The French established trading posts and spread their religion. The English established settlements, claimed land, and traded with American Indians, though they also disagreed over land ownership. Both groups influenced each other through shared farming techniques, trade, and crops, but had conflicts due to land disputes, trade competition, differing cultures, epidemics, and language barriers.
Portsmouth Public Schools has over 5,000 students enrolled across 7 schools. The district employs over 700 teachers and staff to educate students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Portsmouth Public Schools aims to provide all students with a high-quality education in a supportive learning environment so they can achieve their full potential.
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."
The 13 colonies were settled for various religious, political, and economic reasons:
1) Jamestown and Roanoke Island were established as economic ventures by the Virginia Company and others seeking profit.
2) Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony were settled by religious separatists from the Church of England (Pilgrims and Puritans) seeking freedom of religion.
3) Pennsylvania was settled by Quakers also seeking religious freedom to practice their faith without interference.
The document provides information about various topics related to United States history through a series of clues and reveals.

The document provides information about key people, events, inventions, and movements of the Westward Expansion Era in the United States between 1801-1865. It describes states of the Confederacy and Union, territories acquired by the US including the Louisiana Purchase and Oregon Territory, and inventions like the cotton gin and steamboat that impacted the period. Important figures mentioned include Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and leaders of the Abolitionist and Suffrage Movements. Key events covered are the Civil War and California Gold Rush.
Harriet Tubman supported the Underground Railroad, which helped enslaved African Americans escape. Reconstruction was the period after the Civil War when Congress passed laws to rebuild the South. John Brown led a raid on Harpers Ferry in an attempt to start a slave rebellion. The differences between the Northern and Southern states over slavery and states' rights led to the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln was president during the Civil War. After Reconstruction, Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in Virginia.
The document provides biographical information about various important historical figures through a "Who Am I?" format. It identifies 24 individuals, including explorers like Christopher Columbus and Ponce de Leon; American Revolution figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin; Civil War generals like Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant; abolitionists like Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass; and presidents like Abraham Lincoln and James Madison.
The document discusses various individuals, inventions, events, and geographic locations from American history, primarily related to westward expansion and territorial growth from the late 18th century to mid-19th century. It mentions pioneers like Daniel Boone who crossed the Appalachian Mountains, the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the size of the US, explorers Lewis and Clark who mapped the new territory, the Oregon Country and Texas, and the idea of manifest destiny driving westward expansion. New technologies like the cotton gin and railroads are also referenced.
The document provides information about the original 13 colonies in British America:
- The New England colonies (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut) were founded by Puritans seeking religious freedom. Massachusetts was the first settlement, founded by John Winthrop.
- The Middle colonies (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware) attracted settlers from various religious groups like Quakers and Germans. Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn as a place for religious freedom.
- The Southern colonies (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia) relied on plantation agriculture and slavery. The cash crop was tobacco in Virginia. Maryland offered refuge for Roman Catholics.
Virginia is divided into five geographic regions. It is bordered by Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, as well as five states. The five regions include the Tidewater region along the coast, the Piedmont region inland, the Blue Ridge Mountains region, the Ridge and Valley region west of the mountains, and the Allegheny Plateau region in the southwest known for coal mining. Each region has its own distinctive characteristics and features such as coastal plains, rolling hills, mountains, valleys, and plateaus.
The document summarizes the three branches of Virginia's state government - the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. It then outlines some of Virginia's major industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, and federal government employment. It provides brief descriptions of Virginia's economy in different regions of the state.
The document summarizes changes in Virginia during the 20th century, including the transition from an agricultural to urban society. As old farming systems became ineffective and crop prices declined, many people moved from rural to urban areas, causing Virginia's cities to grow. Technological advances in transportation supported this urban growth. Virginia initially resisted the Supreme Court's 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education that ended racial segregation in public schools through a policy of "Massive Resistance." However, this resistance ultimately failed and schools were integrated. The document also profiles several famous 20th century Virginians from this time period.
Reconstruction in Virginia faced many economic problems following the Civil War. The economy and infrastructure were in ruins, with destroyed railroads, bridges, plantations and crops. Freed slaves also needed basic necessities. To address these issues, the Freedman's Bureau provided assistance to freed slaves while sharecropping became a common system for freedmen and poor white farmers. However, African Americans saw many of the rights and freedoms gained during Reconstruction taken away after it ended, when Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination.
Nat Turner led a slave rebellion in Virginia in 1831. Harriet Tubman established the Underground Railroad to help escaped slaves. John Brown led an unsuccessful raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859 trying to start a slave rebellion. The North wanted new western states to be free states while the South wanted them to be slave states, contributing to tensions between the regions. The Civil War began after southern states seceded to form the Confederacy in response to Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860. Major battles and events included Bull Run, Monitor vs. Merrimack, Fredericksburg, and the creation of West Virginia. The war ended with Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House in 1865.
The colonial Virginia economy depended on agriculture, especially the profitable cash crop of tobacco. Tobacco cultivation required a large, inexpensive labor force, so Africans were brought as slaves. The Virginia colony became dependent on slave labor for tobacco plantations. English settlers lived primarily in the Tidewater and Piedmont regions, while Germans, Scots-Irish, Africans, and American Indians each settled in different areas. The capital moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg due to health issues, then to Richmond as the population moved westward. People used barter, tobacco, and credit since money was scarce in colonial Virginia.
1) Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.
2) When an atom gains or loses electrons, its overall charge changes. Static electricity occurs when an imbalance of charges builds up in objects.
3) During thunderstorms, positive and negative charges separate in clouds and between clouds and the ground, causing lightning when the charge difference becomes too great.
Scientists study the natural world by making observations, asking questions, and conducting investigations and experiments. They use the scientific method, which involves forming hypotheses and testing them through experiments and research. Scientists work in various fields like earth science, life science and physical science. They share their results and conclusions, which are based on evidence gathered during their investigations.
The document discusses key concepts in physics including motion, forces, energy, and frames of reference. It defines motion as a change in an object's position over time. A frame of reference is used to describe an object's position, and an object's speed is defined as the distance it moves over a certain amount of time. Forces are measured in units and friction creates heat as it slows objects. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion while potential energy is the energy of position.
The document provides information about Virginia's geography, history, and government. It discusses England's reasons for establishing colonies in America, including Jamestown as the first permanent English settlement in 1607. Key topics covered include the regions of Virginia, important rivers and bodies of water, Native American tribes, and the hardships faced by early settlers.
The three major Native American language groups found in Virginia were the Iroquoian, Siouan, and Algonquian languages. The Iroquoian languages were spoken in southwestern and southern Virginia. The Siouan languages were spoken primarily in the Piedmont region. The Algonquian language was spoken mainly in the Tidewater region. The Powhatan people helped the Jamestown settlers survive by providing leadership, teaching survival skills, serving as a liaison through Pocahontas, and showing the settlers how to plant corn and tobacco. However, over time the Native Americans came to view the settlers as invaders taking over their land.
This document discusses Virginia's geography and regions. Virginia has 5 main geographic regions: Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Blue Ridge Mountains, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau. It also notes the states that border Virginia, important water features like the Chesapeake Bay and rivers, and how geography influenced early Virginia settlements.
The document discusses key people, events, inventions, movements, and territories that were important during the period of Westward Expansion and the buildup to the Civil War in the United States. It provides questions to prompt the reader to identify important figures like Eli Whitney, inventions like the cotton gin and steamboat, territories acquired through expansion and war such as Florida and California, and movements like abolition and women's suffrage during this era.
Review sol 1.6 causes and results of the rev warsegrey
The document summarizes key people, events, and causes of the Revolutionary War. It discusses:
1) Key individuals who played important roles in the Revolutionary War such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Lord Cornwallis.
2) Important events like the First Continental Congress, the battles of Lexington and Concord, the approval of the Declaration of Independence, the battles of Saratoga and Yorktown, and the signing of the Treaty of Paris.
3) Causes of colonial dissatisfaction with British rule and England's reasons for taxing the colonies, as well as advantages the colonists had that contributed to their victory like defending their land and support from France.
The document discusses some of the advantages that helped the American colonists win the Revolutionary War against Britain in three sentences or less. The colonists were defending their own land, principles and beliefs. They also received additional support from France during the war. Strong leadership from figures like George Washington also contributed to the colonial victory over the British forces.
This document provides an overview of key people and events of the American Revolutionary War. It lists important individuals such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Lord Cornwallis. It also summarizes key battles and developments, including the Boston Massacre, Battle of Lexington and Concord, approval of the Declaration of Independence, Battle of Saratoga, and surrender at Yorktown. The purpose is to highlight the most significant figures and events that shaped the Revolutionary War period.
As Great Britain sought to tighten its control over the American colonies following the French and Indian War, colonial dissatisfaction grew. Great Britain imposed taxes like the Stamp Act to raise revenue to pay off war debts. Additionally, the Proclamation of 1763 restricted colonial expansion westward. This increased control and taxation without colonial representation in Parliament led many colonists to become resentful of British rule and dissatisfied with their lack of autonomy, sowing the seeds for the American Revolutionary War.
Large landowners in the South relied on indentured servants and slaves to work their land, while farmers worked according to their region's crops and relied on family labor. Artisans worked as craftsmen in towns and plantations. Women worked as caretakers and homemakers within the home and had limited education and no right to vote. Indentured servants agreed to work without pay to pay for their passage to the colonies and would become free after their contract ended, while slaves were captured in Africa and sold as property for life without rights or chance of freedom.
Great Britain established control over the colonies by imposing strict economic regulations on trade and taxing the colonies after the French and Indian War, and maintained political control by enforcing British laws through appointed colonial governors who monitored the legislatures of each colony.
The document provides information on the three colonial regions of New England, the Mid-Atlantic colonies, and the Southern colonies. It describes the key geographic features, economic activities, and social/political structures of each region. The regions specialized in different economic activities and relied on each other through trade to obtain necessary goods, resulting in economic interdependence among the colonies.
