Barack Obama named his former presidential campaign rival, Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State. While rivals may be truthful, they remain opponents. The first English colony of Roanoke in present-day North Carolina is known as the "lost colony" because when more settlers arrived, all of the original colonists had vanished without a trace. Jamestown was a successful colony that made money growing tobacco and importing slaves.

Seneca falls
The document summarizes key facts about the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, where women's rights activists including Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Martha Wright met to discuss women's rights and issued the Declaration of Sentiments modeled after the Declaration of Independence. The convention was the first women's rights convention to be held in the United States and helped launch the women's suffrage movement.
McPherson
- The annexation of Texas and conquest of Mexican territory during the Mexican-American War expanded U.S. territory but intensified debates over expanding slavery.
- The discovery of gold in California in 1848 triggered a mass migration and population boom, leading settlers there to propose a state constitution banning slavery in order to avoid competition over labor.
- Southern politicians protested California becoming a free state, as it threatened the balance of power between free and slave states in the Senate. The issue of slavery in the western territories remained controversial.

Bubble bubble toil and trouble
1) Real estate bubbles occur regularly about every 20 years when excess liquidity and speculation drives up property values beyond what rental income can support.
2) Bubbles are difficult to identify as they occur but show signs like supply growing faster than demand, capital values rising much more than income, and speculation and "crowd think" driving the market.
3) Once bubbles burst, the aftermath can be painful as property values, incomes, and demand fall sharply which then takes over a decade to recover from. Human nature and short memories mean bubbles continue recurring.
William Mc Kinley
William McKinley served as the 25th President of the United States from 1897 to 1901. Some of the key events of his presidency included the Spanish-American War in 1898, which resulted in the U.S. acquiring territories like the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The Treaty of Paris ended the war and Spain ceded control of these territories to the U.S. This expansion of U.S. territory led to debates around imperialism and America's role in the world. McKinley was assassinated in 1901, becoming the third American president to be assassinated within 36 years.
America becomes an imperial power 2016
Farmers in the late 1800s faced economic hardships like falling prices and increased farm foreclosures. They organized groups like the Grange and Farmers' Alliance to address these issues and fight high railroad rates. This led to the growth of the Populist movement which advocated for policies like increased money supply and federal loans to help farmers. The Panic of 1893 exacerbated the farm crisis and strengthened calls for bimetallism over the gold standard. This divided the country between gold bugs and silverites and was a key issue in William Jennings Bryan's 1896 presidential campaign which advocated for silver. While Bryan lost, the Populist movement brought attention to farmers' problems and began a period of agricultural reform.

America revison aqa GCSE History.
The document discusses America's choice of isolationism after World War 1 and its economic, social, and political consequences. Economically, the war caused unemployment as soldiers returned home jobless. Socially, soldiers told stories of horror from the war and radical groups blamed immigrants for problems, leading to tensions. Politically, Woodrow Wilson wanted more international involvement while Warren Harding supported isolationism and was elected on that platform. Isolationism then brought protective trade policies that hurt other nations' ability to sell goods in America and increased social divisions.
Populism
This document summarizes the Populist movement of the late 19th century, which advocated for struggling farmers in response to economic hardships they faced. Farmers were burdened by debt from mechanization, specialized crop farming, and natural disasters. The Populist Party and Grange cooperative movement supported policies to help farmers, including bimetallism to increase the money supply through silver coins. William Jennings Bryan campaigned for president in 1896 on a platform of "Free Silver" but lost, contributing to the decline of the Populist movement. The Wizard of Oz novel and characters symbolized Populist ideas and figures through allegory.
Wells abolition powerpoint final copy
The document summarizes the key events and issues that divided the United States over the issue of slavery in the 1800s leading up to the Civil War. It discusses how the invention of the cotton gin increased demand for slaves in the South. It also outlines several compromises and acts that further divided the North and South on the topics of expansion of slavery and the return of fugitive slaves. Key events discussed include the Missouri Compromise of 1820, Nat Turner's slave rebellion of 1831, the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, and John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859.
Empire and Expansion
The document discusses America's expansion overseas in the late 19th century following the closing of the western frontier. It explores the forces pushing for overseas expansion, including commercial interests in new markets and raw materials, strategic military interests, and beliefs in cultural superiority. The Spanish-American War of 1898 resulted in the U.S. acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. This raised debates around U.S. imperialism and whether territorial expansion abroad violated principles of self-government and democracy.
Ida b. wells and the memphis lynchings
This document discusses Ida B. Wells Barnett and the 1892 Memphis lynchings that she investigated and worked to publicize. It describes how three African American men who owned a successful grocery store were lynched after fighting back against a mob that attacked their store. Wells Barnett realized the lynchings were meant to intimidate African Americans, not punish crimes. She urged blacks to leave the South for their safety and worked with the NAACP to expose the practice of lynching across the country for decades to come. The document provides historical context about Wells Barnett and lynchings in Memphis up through the civil rights era.
Tulsa riot
1) Wess Young, now 94, fled with his family during the 1921 Tulsa race riot when he was 4 years old. The riot destroyed Tulsa's thriving black community of Greenwood, known as the "Negro Wall Street", leaving up to 300 dead and over 8,000 homeless according to an official state report.
2) Efforts over the past decade have brought greater awareness to the Tulsa race riot through educational initiatives and memorials. However, survivors' attempts to secure compensation through the legislature and courts have been unsuccessful.
3) As the number of surviving witnesses of the riot dwindles, advocates continue pushing for recognition, but acknowledge momentum may be lost once no living survivors remain to testify
Tulsa riot
The document discusses who should pay compensation for past suffering - everyone or just those who caused it. It provides context about the 1921 Tulsa race riot where a violent conflict erupted between white and black residents in Tulsa, Oklahoma, destroying the prosperous black neighborhood of Greenwood and leaving hundreds dead. The riot began with the arrest of a black man accused of assaulting a white woman, and escalated with whites attacking and burning Greenwood, arresting black residents, and inflicting suffering on the black community with no reparations since provided for victims or their descendants.

The document discusses slavery in the United States around the time of the Constitution. It summarizes that while the Constitution allowed slavery, it is seen as a document that establishes freedom. It then examines the impact of the 3/5 compromise and the cotton gin on slavery. The 3/5 compromise gave slaveholding states more representation. The cotton gin dramatically increased cotton production and slavery expanded significantly in the South as a result.

Bannecker
Banneker's grandmother Molly Welsh was an English indentured servant who married one of her freed slaves in violation of Maryland law. At age 22, Banneker constructed an almost entirely wooden clock based on his own designs and calculations, which was unusual given he had only seen two timepieces before. In 1788 he nearly accurately predicted a solar eclipse and in 1791 assisted in surveying Washington D.C., proving Jefferson's views on racial inferiority wrong according to newspapers. In 1792 he published an almanac including his own calculated ephemeris and challenging Jefferson. On the day of his death in 1806, his house and all its contents, including his clock, burned down.

Bannecker
Banneker's grandmother Molly Welsh was an English indentured servant who married one of her freed slaves in violation of Maryland law. At age 22, Banneker constructed an almost entirely wooden clock based on his own designs and calculations, which was unusual given he had only seen two timepieces before. In 1788 he nearly accurately predicted a solar eclipse and in 1791 assisted in surveying Washington D.C., proving Jefferson's views on racial inferiority wrong according to newspapers. In 1792 he published an almanac including his own calculated ephemeris and challenging Jefferson. On the day of his death in 1806, his house and all its contents, including his clock, burned down.

Florida graveyard
Six graves containing the remains of slaves were discovered at the Kingsley Plantation in Jacksonville, Florida. The graves contained the bodies of a man around age 40, a woman over age 60, and three children. Square nails, buttons, and skeletal measurements indicated the remains were of Africans from the 19th century. Descendents cannot be identified due to lack of documentation. Johnetta Cole, director of the National Museum of African Art, is a descendant of the Kingsley family and was emotional upon the discovery. Anna Madgigine Jai, Zephaniah Kingsley's wife, helped manage the plantation after being freed as a slave purchased in Senegal.
