The war—in which U.S. forces were consistently victorious—resulted in the United States’ acquisition of more than 500,000 square miles (1,300,000 square km) of Mexican territory extending westward from the Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean.]]> 2021-04-07 16:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolethaniabagai01/9yv8az69q96t64pw/wish/1392300967 nicolethaniabagai01 https://padlet.com/nicolethaniabagai01/9yv8az69q96t64pw/wish/1414833184 The Industrial Revolution began in the 18th century, when agricultural societies became more industrialized and urban.

The movement began around 1790 and gained momentum by 1800; after 1820, membership rose rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregations, whose preachers led the movement. The Second Great Awakening began to decline by 1870. It enrolled millions of new members and led to the formation of new denominations. It has been described as a reaction against skepticism, deism, and rational Christianity, although why those forces became pressing enough at the time to spark revivals is not fully understood.]]> 2021-04-14 16:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolethaniabagai01/9yv8az69q96t64pw/wish/1417321791 nicolethaniabagai01 https://padlet.com/nicolethaniabagai01/9yv8az69q96t64pw/wish/1417337233 This type of reform was an organized attempt to end the  practice of slavery in the United States.

In comparison to the Union, the General rank of the Confederacy was usually significantly superior in training and education. The South also had better cavalry, possibly because of a greater emphasis upon that branch of arms, and possibly because Southerners grew up in a horse culture and a large percentage of them knew how to ride from an early age. Disadvantaged because almost all of the resources for waging war—steel mills and iron mines, important industries, transportation facilities and most naval facilities and ships—were located in the North.
