Also out west their were very little resources available to all. ]]> 2016-11-09 01:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136277462 Why was transportation—particularly the canals and the railroads—so important in the early stages of industrialization? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136278429 Before the big boom of industrialization most of the trade going on was only through the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. With industrialization, it let the US trade all over. With the National Road trading along the east and west was way easier. The Erie Canal also linked the Great Lakes to New York which then lead to European trade routes. With this the Northeast became the center of commerce in the United States. With the railroads it gave direct to and from transportation to major cities all through the United States.]]> 2016-11-09 01:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136278429 Which technological innovation was most important for early-nineteenth-century economic development? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136283593 The cotton gin because it was the first machine that helped pioneers to efficiently spin cotton. It allowed all around America to economically thrive even more from cotton. In the South it created a higher demand for slavery because of how fast it was being produced. Which also meant more land was being used as farms to grow the cotton. ]]> 2016-11-09 02:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136283593 What effects did the movement from a subsistence to a market economy have on American society, including farmers, laborers, and women? What were the advantages and disadvantages of the change? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136283906 Farmers were able to plant more crops which meant the areas around those farms were able to grow bigger and bigger because they were able to provide for more. With the dramatic increase in inventions like the cotton gin meant more businesses were able to flourish and more jobs were able to be created. For women this gave them the rights they never had before, which was making and being independent with their own income. ]]> 2016-11-09 02:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136283906 What caused the market and transportation revolutions of the nineteenth century? As you read this chapter, how many different reasons for the development of these changes can you identify? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136521791 To the British the Americas were known as the underdogs so we were determined as a nation to gain their respect so that was one of the main causes of the industrial revolution. The market revolution was caused by an increase in inventions like the cotton gin that made everyday life easier for the common man. The transportation revolution began with Americans wanting to explore west and a need for goods to be transported all around our growing country using things like roads and canals. ]]> 2016-11-09 18:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136521791 In this chapter, the authors maintain that “clearly the early factory system did not shower its benefits evenly on all.” What relevant historical evidence can you find in this chapter or the previous ones that supports, modifies, or refutes this assertion? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136525271 This is true because at the point of time this was stated the slaves were limited to what they could do in society. Same goes for women during this time. During this time the only ones who benefited from this system were the wealthy white men. ]]> 2016-11-09 18:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136525271 As you read this chapter, can you combine the information from the primary source excerpts, tables, figures, maps, and text to create a persuasive understanding of westward migration and demographic changes in the United States from 1790 to 1860? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136527029 The main reason for the westward expansion was to find resources to give back to the eastern states. Also moving out west gave those who were in debit a chance for a new start with economic freedom with taxes being lower out west. But this they would come to know as not all rainbows and butterflies because many of those who tried to accomplish the great migration died from illnesses and diseases. ]]> 2016-11-09 18:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136527029 Where in the "cult of domesticity" and the rise of the child-centered family signs of an improvement or a restriction in women's status and condition oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136596453 The cult of domesticity was a restriction in women's status and condition because women were not getting the same economic treatment as the same male workers. During this time women could not vote, could not own land (only white males), and they also were only allowed to be educated in their homes. ]]> 2016-11-09 23:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136596453 Was the "new family" a progressive reflection of American democratic ideals, or a restriction on them?  oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136597776 This was a progressive reflection of democratic ideals because families were becoming smaller so the parents could focus more on each child individually. This means a higher focus on education, this concept also taught children to be more independent and make decisions based on morals. This ideal restricted women by making them feel weak and forcing them into a house based job. ]]> 2016-11-09 23:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136597776 Why did America produce so many reform and utopian movements? What did they contribute to American culture? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136598836 Americans did this to create a better way of life and to fix society. The primary movement was the transcendentalist movement that questioned gender roles and protected America from moron ideals. Other reforms dealt with Prohibition and prison and asylums. These reforms made America more diverse and brought stronger ideas of the idea of freedom. ]]> 2016-11-09 23:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136598836 How does the Second Great Awakening of the nineteenth century compare to the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century? As you read this chapter and review the information about the Great Awakening in Chapter 5, how many relevant similarities and differences between these two events can you generate? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136599256 It converted a lot of people to Christianity and also encouraged evangelicalism ideals into everyday life. Examples of this are prison reforms, and women's movements, as well as abolishing slavery. The second great awakening feminized religion. This meant women were more involved with bringing their families to church.  ]]> 2016-11-09 23:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136599256 After you have read “Contending Voices: The Role of Women”, can you analyze both excerpts’ intended audience, purpose, and point of view? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136599480 In excerpt one the audience was white men. And the purpose was to make women's right sound unreasonable and to insure white man supremacy. The point of view was from a white male that believes its sad that women believe they deserve rights. In except two the audience was women's rights activists and those who will vote for them. The purpose was to show that it was time for change and women have a right to say this and the point of view was from a basic feminist. ]]> 2016-11-09 23:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136599480 In this chapter, the authors reference a British critic in 1820 who said, “In the four quarters of the globe who reads an American book, or goes to an American play, or looks at an American picture or statue?” Yet, they also trace the development of uniquely American forms of art, architecture, and literature in the nineteenth century. As you read this chapter, can you explain the continuities and changes in American art, architecture, and literature from 1790 to 1860? oakliev https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136600043 Architecture from this time was not original it was copied from the old world, this includes Greek styles and Palladian styles. Examples of this today would be UVA and Monticello. Art changed after the war of 1812 where landscapes were more popular now rather than portraits. Literature went from being practical to romanticism. ]]> 2016-11-09 23:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/oakliev/8gqvt2rudv4i/wish/136600043
