Made possible by the Louisiana Purchase, the US had almost doubled their territory in just days. Louis and Clark gained even more support from Americans by exploring the land bought by Thomas Jefferson in the Louisiana Purchase. This expedition attracted other Americans to come and settle the rough frontier. The US also began to change politically; in the case of Marbury vs. Madison the idea of a judicial review, the right for the Supreme Court to declare something unconstitutional, was cemented. America's political views were also spread by more harsh means, especially to the Native Americans. They were forced from their lands as settlers came, and were expected to assimilate into a culture that wasn't their own.

Women wanted to be as equal as men. They were expected to do house work and take care of the children all day, everyday. All of their money and property became their husbands once they were married. They could not vote or be apart of a jury. Women did not have very many education opportunities. The women who had jobs only got paid about half the money men did for doing the same job. Women wanted all of this to change.

It began around 1790. Also, it stated that all people, white or black, belong to the same God. This made the number of African Americans to convert to christianity soar. They were allowed to be in the same church as the white people, albeit in separate booths, but both the slave owners and the slaves sang hymns together.]]> 2016-11-22 20:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/700386/7so56ccyie8x/wish/139463895 700386 https://padlet.com/700386/7so56ccyie8x/wish/139465021 A main idea that was caused by Westward Expansion was Manifest Destiny. This was an idea adopted by most Americans that they were expected, by God, to settle the Western frontier so that the United States would span from coast to coast (http://bit.ly/2f8lz1L). They believed they were doing God a service by forcing Native American Tribes out of their homes and making them move elsewhere, because they believed it was what God wanted them to do.

He was the most influential and persuasive revival preacher that ever spoke. His sermons resulted in tears, shivers, wails of terror, and ultimately conversion. ]]> 2016-11-22 20:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/700386/7so56ccyie8x/wish/139465334 700306 https://padlet.com/700386/7so56ccyie8x/wish/139466521 An actual thing/result/concrete idea to emerge from this social issue
Since so many people took a stand to allow women to have the same rights of men, everyone is equal today. Women had the right to vote and the right to receive an education. They were able to work the jobs that only men could before such as professions in law, medicine, clergy and corporate. They realized they did not want to be lower than men and wanted both genders to be equal.

 Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an abolitionists who was very important during this time. She held the Women's right convention (Seneca Falls Convention) in 1848 along with Lucretia Mott. Stanton wrote the Declaration of Sentiments, wanting women to have the right to vote, rights of equality in general. She was aso the first president of National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), a group fighting for women to be apart of the 15th amendment

Jefferson was the president that sent out Lewis and Clark to begin exploring the west. The United States gained valuable knowledge from their expedition. This expedition was begun to explore the land Jefferson had acquired during the Louisiana Purchase. That purchase was what fueled the idea of Manifest Destiny.

They believed that if they did good deeds, they would go to heaven, and that if they did bad deeds, they would go to hell(http://bit.ly/1HYlBww). Many people attended meetings known as revivals. These revivals were meant to convert people, move people, and convince people that being good in life will reward you in death. A revival can last up to 4 or 5 days. Membership to the ways of the protestant movement grew continuously throughout the 1820's.]]> 2016-11-28 05:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/700386/7so56ccyie8x/wish/140085497 705749 https://padlet.com/700386/7so56ccyie8x/wish/140322567 Texas gained independence from Mexico in 1836. In the beginning the United States declined to add Texas into the union, the main reason was because the northerners were politically against the addition of a new slave state. The Mexican government was also encouraging border raids and warning that any attempt to take any of their property or their belongings would cause a war.(http://bit.ly/1qZe90t).

That land now makes up the states of California, Utah and Nevada, as well as smaller parts of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona. The treaty also established the national border of Mexico at the Rio Grande River.

During this time, Polk faced issues in trying to defeat the Mexicans. A boundary argument with Great Britain over Oregon's land and Mexican protest over Texas threatened to fight the nation on two fronts.  Savannah Lenarz]]> 2016-11-28 19:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/700386/7so56ccyie8x/wish/140322742
