APUSH Review Project by Paras Takkar https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l en-us 2022-04-23 18:12:43 UTC 2025-05-21 05:53:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f600.png Objective 1: Explain the context for European encounters in the Americas from 1491 to 1607. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187499506 I attached an article from Fiveable to explain this objective. This article explains how Native Americans first come into the Americas through the Bering Land Bridge, which connected Eurasia and North America approximately 20,000 years ago. The Natives adapted to their environments, settling into different tribes, and developing various agricultural techniques that suited their environment. For example, the Cahokia tribe, developed a society of 20,000 people that rose high above the Mississippi River. Despite these advances by Native Tribes, they were unprepared for the weaponry and diseases brought by European explorers and settlers. Since there were significant declines in the Native populations due to diseases, European settlers turned to African slaves to meet the labor needs of this new world. The clash of Natives, Europeans, and Africans produced a new cultural society in the Americas. The theme of migration and settlement is evident in this section because the Natives are an example of a group that migrated into the U.S. and adapted to their different environments. The Europeans migrated into the U.S. and transformed the environment through spreading diseases and deforestation. The historical thinking skill of contextualization is also apparent because this section provides context regarding how the Natives developed their society and how the Europeans changed it. ]]> 2022-05-17 12:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187499506 Objective 2: Explain how and why various native populations in the period before European contact interacted with the natural environment in North America. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187623716 For this objective, I attached my chapter 1 cornell notes. In this set of notes, I learned about how different tribes in America developed differently according to their environment. For instance, the Anasazi Tribe were people who settled in the South-west, which was a very dry climate. Hence, they planted corn because this was the most beneficial crop to them. Also, the Iroquois Tribe lived in a 4 season climate in the Northeastern woodlands. Therefore, they developed three-sister farming techniques, growing a multitude of crops at once. The theme of Geography and the Environment is related to this section because the native tribes developed their respective societies according to the environment and geography of their regions. The historical skill of comparison (skill 5: Making Connections) is evident here because we are comparing how the different societies developed with respect to their environment, such as the Anasazi and Iroquois. ]]> 2022-05-17 13:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187623716 Objective 3: Explain the causes of exploration and conquest of the New World by various European nations. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187660405 I attached an article from khanacademy to explain this objective. The main motives for exploration and conquest of the New World was the desire for gold, god, and glory. Europeans had been trading with Asia along the silk road, but Muslim middleman collected taxes as goods changed hands. Hence, sailors wanted to find a route to the exotic and wealthy Spice Islands in modern-day Indonesia, whose location was kept secret by Muslim rulers. Also, competition between the Portuguese and the Spanish motivated both nations to colonize quickly and aggressively. The competition between the two nations continued and drew more and more Europeans to the New World. The theme of Work, Exchange, and Technology can be applied here because the desire for new economic markets inspired Europeans desire for exploration. Also, new technology like better ships allowed for these voyages to occur. Finally, most of these explorations were state supported, hence explaining the role of government in this. The development and processes historical skill can be shown here because the causes of European exploration in the new world can be attributed to the processes of new technology and the concepts of gold, glory, and god. ]]> 2022-05-17 13:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187660405 Objective 4: Explain causes of the Columbian Exchange and its effect on Europe and the Americas during the period after 1492. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187689990 I attached this article to explain this objective. The article describes how the main causes of the columbian exchange were the three G's: Gold, glory, and god. Also, technology played a role because technological advances like the magnetic compass and caravel ships made exploration and the columbian exchange possible. The effects of the Columbian exchange were that Europe grew stronger with goods like potatoes, tomatoes, and corn being introduced into Europe and increasing the quality of life and average lifespan. On the other hand,  millions of natives in the Americas died, and Europeans forced millions more into brutal slavery. The theme of America and the World is evident because America clearly changed due to the Columbian exchange with many Natives dying from European diseases. The historical skill of Claims and Evidence in Sources can be applied here because the author provides evidence of crops that were introduced to Europe, like potatoes, tomatoes, and corn. Also, the article mentions that diseases like measles and smallpox caused were introduced into America and caused many deaths. ]]> 2022-05-17 14:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187689990 Objective 5: Explain how the growth of the Spanish Empire in North America shaped the development of social and economic structures over time. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187713487 I attached this article from khanacademy for this objective. This article explains how the Spanish developed the encomienda system, a labor system in which the Spanish crown authorized Spaniards, known as encomenderos, to enslave native people to farm and mine in the Americas. Also, a caste system was developed in which class status is determined at birth. The Spanish had mixed-race children in the Americas with enslaved Africans and Native Americans. Status was determined by how Spanish one was, so those with little to no Spanish blood were in the lowest class. The theme of social structures is evident because the spanish caste system marginalized and oppressed pure natives and encouraged more mixed births between Spanish man and Native women. The historical skill of sourcing and situation can be applied here because the author's purpose behind writing this article is to provide unbiased information on the Spanish empire and how they developed and changed society in the Americas. ]]> 2022-05-17 14:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187713487 Objective 6: Explain how and why European and Native American perspectives of others developed and changed in the period. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187722551 For this objective, I attached an article from facing history. This article describes how the natives and European had different worldviews and hence had contrasting and opposing views of each other.  The Native populations generally shared land and goods, had less defined gender roles, and spiritual religions. On the other hand,  European populations had private land ownership and a desire to build individual wealth, more defined gender roles, and Christian religion. Over time, each group started to adopt elements of the other's culture. The natives started to use guns and horses to hunt buffalo. The European farmed crops like tobacco, corn, and potatoes. Also, there was a debate on European colonization, with thinkers like Bartolome de Las Casas believing that the treatment of the Natives was immoral and un-Christian. The theme of American and National Identity is evident because an identity in the Americas was developed from European ideas of private land ownership and individual rights. The historical thinking skill of  Argumentation can be applied here because the author makes the argument that there was major conflict and hostility between the European and Natives at first. The author uses the Pueblo Revolt as evidence, describing how the Natives resisted European encroachment.

This video explains how transatlantic voyages resulted in the destruction of Native Americas, the growth of Europe and created new societal groups. In terms of economic changes, the slave trade was developed and new trade markets were created. The spreading of Christianity occurred in the New World with native american religion and culture declining. The theme of politics and power is evident because European power over America and Africa increased and they effectively became the most powerful group in the Americas. Also, the theme of American and Regional Culture can be seen because the growth of European populations in the Americans resulted in new cultural ideas in the America with European ideals being more individualistic and monetary based. The historical thinking skill of causation (Skill 5: Making Connections) can be applied here because as a result of European's transatlantic voyages into the New World, there was major political, economic, and cultural changes in the world. ]]> 2022-05-17 15:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187815281 Objective 1: Explain the context for the colonization from 1607 to 1754 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187853478 I attached the chapter 2 notes for this objective. This set of notes explained how events like the Protestant Reformation led to European colonization because Luther challenged the catholic church and while some countries adopted versions of Protestantism, France and Spain remained catholic and Protestants were persecuted, leading to them wanting to form their own societies in the new land in the west. The theme of Migration and Settlement is evident here because Europeans moved into the new land in the Americas looking for religious freedom and new opportunities. The historical skill of development and processes is present here because the historical development that led to colonization was events like the Protestant Reformation.  ]]> 2022-05-17 15:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2187853478 Objective 2: Explain how and why various European colonies developed and expanded from 1607 to 1754. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219460066 I attached an article from worldhistory.org for this objective. This article compares how the French, Dutch, and British developed their societies. The French primarily had colonies in Canada and the Great Lakes. They focused on trade with the natives more than than conquest and generally fostered good relations with them. The Dutch primary colony was New York City. They had mixed relations with Natives as they traded with them and also had wars. The British developed colonies on the Atlantic Coast and West Indies and sought freedoms. They mainly had conflicts with the Natives over the fight for land. The theme of American and Regional Culture is evident because the French, Dutch, British each had different areas with the Americas and different interactions with the Natives that led to different regional cultures developing. The historical thinking skill of comparison (Skill 5: Making Connections) can be applied here because the French, Dutch, and British colonies each developed differently. ]]> 2022-06-13 12:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219460066 Objective 3: Explain how and why environmental and other factors shaped the development and expansion of various British colonies that developed and expanded from 1607 to 1754 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472059 I attached the same article from worldhistory.org for this objective. This article explains how colonies adjusted to their environments in order to be profitable and successful. For example, the Chesapeake colony focused on tobacco due to good soil and a long growing season. The middle colonies focused on cereal crops due to good soil and a market being there to feed the other colonies. The theme of Geography and the Environment is present here because as shown in the examples, the colonies took advantage of their environments to be successful. The historical thinking skill of contextualization can be applied here because the context for the colonies being successful was the environmental factors which enabled them to grow certain crops.]]> 2022-06-13 12:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472059 Objective 4: Explain the causes and effects of transatlantic trade over time 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472275 I attached an article from KhanAcademy for this objective. This article talks about how one of the main causes of transatlantic trade was the need for labor as indentured servants were angry and rebelling as shown through Bacon's rebellion. One of the effects of this was the slave trade developing with Africans being forced to come over to the Americans to work on plantations. The slave trade became one of the largest industries in the Americas and provided cheap and stable work supply. The theme of Work, Exchange, and Technology is present here as the transatlantic trade become a form of economic exchange between the Americas and Africa and Europe and globalized the world. The historical thinking skill of argumentation can be applied here because the article argues that the need for labor was one of the main causes for the transatlantic trade and backs this point up citing Bacon's rebellion to explain the distrust in indentured servants. ]]> 2022-06-13 12:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472275 Objective 5: Explain how and why interactions between various European nations and American Indians changed over time 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472514 I attached the chapter 3 cornell notes for this set of notes. This set of notes explains how King Philip's war demonstrates how the natives and English had lots of conflicts. However, the natives resist in the Pueblo Revolt won them some accommodations from Spanish. Also, trade increased later on between the natives and European nations leading to each group adopting elements of each other's culture. For example, the Natives used guns to hunt buffalo in the Great Plains. The theme of Politics and Power is evident here because the Natives power decreased as a result of European colonization and this largely persisted in society. The historical thinking skill of continuity and change (Skill 5: Making Connections) can be applied here because while at first interactions were more violent between Indians and European nations, they gradually growed a little more peaceful. ]]> 2022-06-13 12:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472514 Objective 6: Explain the causes and effects of slavery in the various British colonial regions 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472766 I attached an article from KhanAcademy for this objective. This article explains how one of the main causes for slavery was the failure of indentured servitude and the environment as well as racism. The effects of slavery was economic growth of the slavery because the slaves essentially provided free labor and strict racial codes, such as the Barbados Slave Code which labeled African Americans as property. The theme of Social Structures can be applied here because a social hierarchy developed in the British colonies with Africans being placed on the bottom along with Natives. The historical thinking skill of Claims and Evidence in sources can be applied here because the article cites events such as Bacon's Rebellion to explain how indentured servitude was not trusted, which led to slavery developing. ]]> 2022-06-13 12:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472766 Objective 7: Explain how enslaved peoples responded to slavery 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472894 I attached the same Khan Academy article from Objective 6 for this objective. This article cites events like the Stono Rebellion of 1739 to explain overt resistance to slavery. Secretly, slaves ranaway, would work slow, and steal in order to protest slavery. Finally, a unique African American culture developed with Africans introducing their music into the Americas and adopting Christianity. The theme of American and Regional Culture can be applied here because Africans introduced elements of their own culture into America forming a new African American culture. The historical thinking skill of sourcing and situation can be applied here because the intended audience of this article is clearly students as the information is displayed in a concise and digestable way. This removes some of the more gruesome parts of the resistance to slavery. ]]> 2022-06-13 12:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219472894 Objective 8: Explain how and why the movement of a variety of people and ideas across the Atlantic contributed to the development of American culture over time 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219473055 I attached the chapter 5 cornell notes for this objective. This set of notes explain how a unique, diverse American culture developed from a variety of perspectives. For example, religion varied in the early colonies, but shaped the American experience and identity. In Rhode Island, there was separation of church and state and a lot of religious freedom. However, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Puritans wanted to purify Anglicanism and were extremely religious. The theme of American and National Identity is evident because a unique diverse American culture developed based on varying perspectives but similar values. The historical thinking skill of Contextualization can be applied here because the migration of different religious groups into the Americas led to a diverse American culture forming in terms of religion.

This set of notes explains how the colonists and British leaders sometimes had altering views. In terms of economic interests, the colonists wanted the policy of salutary neglect to continue while the British wanted more strict regulatory policies, known as the Navigation Acts. Also, the colonists wanted self-rule while the British obviously wanted to keep as much control as possible. These differing views caused their relationship with Britain to change and a lot of tension to develop. The theme of America and the World can be applied here because the colonists viewed themselves as more of a independent nation whereas to the British the colonists were simply part of their empire. The historical thinking skill of development and process is evident because a set of laws such as the Navigation Acts led to tension growing between the colonists and the British. ]]> 2022-06-13 12:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219473183 Objective 10: Compare the effects of the development of colonial society in the various regions of North America 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219473354 I attached this article from gmu.edu for this objective. This article explains how the different colonial regions were similar in that there was conflict with Natives and self-rule in the New England, Middle, and Chesapeake areas. In terms of religion, the First Great Awakening unified the colonies and many people in the New England, Middle, and South were involved in atlantic world trade but some people were subsistence farmers while others were cash crop farmers. The theme of American and Regional culture can be applied here because colonial regions developed differently according to their environment but had a lot of similarities in terms of conflicts with natives and self-rule. The historical thinking skill of comparison can be applied here because the colonial societies developed differently according to their environment. ]]> 2022-06-13 12:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219473354 Objective 16: Explain how the American independence movement affected society from 1754 to 1800 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219617272 I attached this article from lumen learning again to answer this objective. This article explains how in terms of society, the independence movement led to slavery ending in North, continuing in South. Also, enlightenment beliefs developed with calls for democracy and a government for the people. In terms of foreign affairs, the American independence movement inspired the French Revolution and resulted in the continual destruction of Native American culture. The theme of American and National Identity as America become somewhat united, inspired by values of democracy and rights of the people. The historical skills of causation can be applied here because the American independence movement caused the French revolution as well as conflicts with the French such as the XYZ affair and the further destruction of Native American culture with the British no longer somewhat protecting them. ]]> 2022-06-13 14:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219617272 Objective 15: Explain the continuities and changes in regional attitudes about slavery as it expanded from 1754 to 1800 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219618014 I attached this article from ushistory,org for this objective. This article explains how northern states were gradually emancipating slaves in the years after the American Revolution. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 banned slavery in the Old Northwest. However, the Southern states expanded slavery into the Southwest as the region gradually transitioned from tobacco to cotton. The theme of America and Regional Culture is evident as the North had developed anti-slavery beliefs slowly but in the South slavery was still rampant and crucial to the economy and one of the customs over there. The historical skill of Claims and Evidence in Sources can be applied here as the author mentions that the North was becoming anti-slavery and uses the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 as evidence for his belief. ]]> 2022-06-13 14:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219618014 Objective 14: Explain how and why migration and immigration to and within North America caused competition and conflict over time 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219618199 I attached this article from boundless regarding migration in America during the American Revolution. This article explains how movement west causes tensions between Native Americans and American colonists. The US was expanding into the Trans-Appalachian West, which also angered other European powers like the French, which led to the French and Indian war. The theme of migration and settlement is evident because migration into the West within North America caused a lot of problems with natives and european powers for the British and the colonists. The historical thinking skill of development and processes because the historical process of westward process led to greater conflict between Natives and the Conflicts as well as the French and Colonists, leading to the French and Indian War.]]> 2022-06-13 14:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219618199 Objective 13: Explain the continuities and changes in American culture from 1754 to 1800 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219618489 I attached this article from sutori for this objective. This article explains how new forms of national culture developed in the United States alongside continued regional variations. Ideas about national identity increasingly found expression in works of art, literature, and architecture. The theme of American and Regional culture because more defined distinct regional cultures developed and had contrasting beliefs on issues like taxation and states rights. The historical skill of continuity and change can be applied here because division is something that was a continuity in American culture although there was a rise in national identity something new.

This article explains how the idea of taxes and more strict governmental control developed with Hamilton's Financial Plan. At the same time, Jefferson and his supporters supported anti-tax, anti-tariff, and anti-bank laws with strong-state governments. Washington's Farewell address advocated for neutrality and the opposition of political parties, although it was clear a sense of division was forming. The theme of Politics and Power is evident here with growing division developing in the new republic. The historical skill of contextualization because this growing division in the new republic make despite calls of Washington for unity and no political parties.

This article explains how conflicts with Native Americans persisted during this time period and there were many French trade disruptions and the XYZ affair which almost resulted in war with France. The theme of America in the World is evident because America was involved in affairs despite George Washington's neutrality policy, primarily with France. The historical skill of development and processes can be applied here because the conflict with France had developed and resulted in the XYZ affair.]]> 2022-06-13 14:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219618899 Objective 10: Explain the continuities and changes in the structure and functions of the government with the ratification of the Constitution 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219619111 I attached the chapter 10 cornell notes for this objective. This set of notes explains how the ratification of the constitution led to a somewhat similar government forming with 3 branches, checks and balances and federalism. However, there was power given to the executive branch with the ability to tax and regulate trade. The theme of Politics and Power can be applied here because the political beliefs of America had slowly changed somewhat with the failures of AOC highlighting the need for at least a decently strong federal government. The historical thinking skill of continuity and change can be applied here because there was continuities with the constitution and AOC in that a system of checks and balances was in place but the executive branch of government was much stronger now. ]]> 2022-06-13 14:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219619111 Objective 9: Explain the differing ideological positions on the structure and function of the federal government 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219619285 I attached the chapter 10 cornell notes for this objective. This set of notes explains how the constitutional convention of 1787 had people from all over with many different views on the function of the federal government. Also, there was a debate over the ratification of the constitution between the Federalists, who were more more strict governmental control vs Anti-Federalists, who were more in favor of the AOC. A compromise was reached with the Bill of Rights. A theme that is evident is American and Regional Culture as there was different governmental views in different regions of America with the North being more in favor of the Federalists while the rural South and Midwest were more so anti-federalists. The historical skill of argumentation can be applied here because both sides had made arguments at the constitutional convention with compromises ultimately being made.]]> 2022-06-13 14:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219619285 Objective 8: Explain how different forms of government developed and changed as a result of the Revolutionary Period 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219619574 I attached the chapter 9 cornell notes for this objective again. This set of notes explains how the Articles of Confederation were passed as a result of the Revolutionary period, resulted in a weak alliance of states, fearful of a new powerful government replacing Britain. Also, state constitutions had checks and balances and set the model for the three branches of government. The theme of America and National Identity because it became a part of America's identity to check the government's power and preserve democracy. The historical skill of contextualization can be applied here because the articles of confederation were passed after the victory, with enlightenment ideals being very strong in America. ]]> 2022-06-13 14:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219619574 Objective 7: Describe the global impact of the American Revolution 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219619830 I attached the chapter 9 cornell notes for this objective. This set of notes explained how the American Revolution inspired future independence movements in France, such as the French Revolution, in Haiti, and Latin America with Simon Bolivar leading the way. A theme that can be applied here is Work, Exchange and Technology because the ideas of the American revolution were exchanged and spread across the globe, inspiring revolutions. The historical skill of causation can be applied here because the American revolution inspired the other revolutions across the globe.]]> 2022-06-13 14:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219619830 Objective 6: Explain the various ways the American Revolution affected society 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219620079 I attached an article from lumen learning to answer this objective. This article explains how the American affected society in that it resulted in increased participation in politics and governance, the legal institutionalization of religious toleration, and the growth and diffusion of the population. The theme of Social Structures can be applied here because the American revolution resulted in the common man rising up the social ranks and having more of a voice now in government than before. The historical skill of sourcing and situation because this source's purpose is to educate people and not really make a claim, hence the language is neutral and factual.]]> 2022-06-13 14:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219620079 Objective 5: Explain how various factors contributed to the American victory in the Revolution 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219620344 I attached this article from digitalhistory.edu to answer this objective. This article argues that America was able to win the revolution due to the help of French and because of guerilla war tactics from the colonists. A theme that is evident is geography and the environment because America's geographical knowledge of their terrain gave them an advantage and allowed them to win the war. The historical skill of claims and evidence in sources can be applied here because the author backs up the point about help from French stating evidence that America was losing the war before the French came along and got involved directly. ]]> 2022-06-13 14:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219620344 Objective 4: Explain how and why colonial attitudes about government and the individual changed in the years leading up to the American Revolution 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219620554 I attached this article from harvard.edu to answer this objective. This article talks about how the Enlightenment philosophies were a big reason for shift in colonial attitudes about government and the individual with colonists believing in Jock Locke and theory of a social contract with the govt as well as the common sense pamphlet by Thomas Paine. The theme of American and Regional Culture could be applied here because there was a shift in cultural beliefs as to the power of the individual vs government. The historical skill of Development and Processes is evident because the Enlightenment is the historical development which led to colonial attitudes shifting toward power of the people over government.]]> 2022-06-13 14:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219620554 Objective 3: Explain how British colonial policies regarding North America led to the Revolutionary War 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219620877 I attached the chapter 7 cornell notes for this objective. This set of notes explains Britain's policies that led to the revolutionary war. For instance, Britain passed the sugar act, the stamp act, and the townshend acts. These acts caused a lot of resentment amongst the colonists because they were forced to pay more taxes and had less freedoms. The theme of Politics and Power is evident because the British parliament used their political power to enforce laws that restricted the freedoms of the colonists. The historical thinking skill of continuity and change can be applied here because this new policy of the British was a change from the old era of salutary neglect.]]> 2022-06-13 14:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219620877 Objective 2: Explain the causes and effects of the Seven Years’ War (the French and Indian War) 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219621280 I attached the French and Indian War DBQ Practice for this objective. While doing the DBQ practice, I learned about how  the main cause for this war was the British/French conflict over western lands. Some of the effects were the end of salutary neglect with the British not believing in the colonists ability to defend the land for themselves. Also, the proclamation of 1763 was passed. The theme of America in the World can be applied here because the French and Indian war delegitimized the colonists independent power with the British strictly enforcing their rule over the colonies after the war. The historical thinking skill of argumentation is evident because for this assignment, we had to make an argument as to how the French and Indian war effected relations between the British and the American colonies. I argued that the French and Indian War led to more direct rule being imposed by the British on its American colonies, such as increasing taxes on the colonists. This caused the colonists' ideology to shift from toleration to resentment towards the British.

This set of notes goes over how the era of salutary neglect led to the colonists feeling as though they were independent and led to a national identity developing with their being political and religious differences in the colonies. The theme of American and National Identity is evident because a national identity developed as a result of the period of salutary neglect. The historical thinking skill of contextualization can be applied here because salutary neglect was an important period in American History which influenced the desire for independence. ]]> 2022-06-13 14:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2219621849 Objective 14: Explain the extent to which politics, economics, and foreign policy promoted the development of American identity from 1800 to 1848. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677220 I attached this article from Smarthistory for this objective. In terms of foreign policy, a American identity as developed through asserted power globally through the monroe doctrine and the indian removal act as well as the War of 1812. Economically speaking, a sectional but more interconnected economy developed between the South and North. In politics, the Jacksonian era led to the common white man having more power, an important part of this period's identity. The theme of American and National Identity is evident here because a unique American identify developed in this time based on power, the ordinary men and an interconnected and trade based economy. The historical skill of argumentation can be applied here because the monroe doctrine, cotton and fabric trade between the South and North, and the Jacksonian era provide evidence for this aspects of America's identity that developed during this period. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677220 Objective 13: Explain how geographic and environmental factors shaped the development of the South from 1800 to 1848. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677380 I attached the chapter 17 cornell notes for this assignment. This set of notes explain that the South had great land for farming, specifically growing crops like tobacco and cotton. Hence, slavery was used to provide free labor on these massive plantations that were dominated by huge planters. The South was known as the cotton king because of their huge exports of cotton to the North. The theme of geography and the environment is evident because due to the hot and dry climate and good terrain for farming, slavery was used to provide labor on these big plantations. The historical skill of development and processes because the historical concept of slavery in the South can be attributed to their terrain which supported farming as opposed to the North, which had land and conditions not as good for farming.]]> 2022-06-16 04:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677380 Objective 12: Explain the continuities and changes in the experience of African Americans from 1800 to 1848. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677519 I attached the chapter 16 cornell notes for this objective as well. This set of notes explains how in terms of continuities, African Americans were still enslaved in south, discriminated against in the North, virtually had no right, and couldn't vote. In terms of changes, there was emancipation in the North, the abolition movement was spreading thanks to books like Uncle Tom's Cabin and former slaves were showing resistance. The theme of Social Structures is evident here because slaves continued to remain on the bottom of the social hierarchy although the abolition movement was attempting to free them and move them slightly above. The historical skill of comparison can be applied here because despite some more support, African Americans still had no rights and were enslaved in the South while seeing limited freedoms in the North. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677519 Objective 11: Explain how and why various reform movements developed and expanded from 1800 to 1848. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677661 I attached the chapter 16 cornell notes for this objective. This set of notes explain how the abolition movement expanded during this time with the second great awakening demonstrating to people that slavery was morally wrong. The women's suffrage movement also developed, with women beginning to fight for the right to vote. Orphanages, asylums and workhouses for poor were created with helping wanting to help those in need because of the second great awakening. The theme of America and Regional Culture is evident here because a cultural shift caused the second great awakening, which led to many reform movements. The historical skill of development and processes can be applied here because the historical development of the second great awakening caused people to look at the moral wrongs in society, hence the rise in the abolition movement and creation of orphanages and workhouses for poor. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677661 Objective 10: Explain the causes of the Second Great Awakening. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677808 I attached the chapter 14 cornell notes for this objective as well. This set of notes explains how the causes of the Second Great Awakening included the churches being seen as insufficient, the market revolution transforming people's lives, resulting in coming back to religion and the fighting for the common man and religious rights. Also, women were feeling rejected and useless and hence, were given use through the Second Great Awakening. The theme of America and Regional Culture can be applied here because a cultural shift occurred in America with their being a religious revival due to the churches not doing enough for people and the need for reform in society with the rising gap between the social classes. The historical skill of contextualization is evident because the Second Great Awakening occurred in the midst of the desire for reform in society.]]> 2022-06-16 04:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677808 Objective 9: Explain how and why a new national culture developed from 1800 to 1848. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677958 I attached the chapter 15 cornell notes for this objective. This set of notes explain that a national culture developed in America primarily due to a rise in education, transcendentalism and the emergence of american art based around nature and liberation. Also, men began to work in the outside world, while women do the domestic work in the house. The theme of American and National Identity is evident here because an identity based on education, men working and women handling the house, and patriotism was developing. The historical skill of argumentation can be applied here because the textbook states that there was a rise in the importance of education and backs this up by stating how the american dictionary by daniel webster was developed during this time. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222677958 Objective 8: Explain the causes and effects of continuing policy debates about the role of the federal government from 1800 to 1848. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678169 I attached the chapter 14 cornell notes for this objective. This set of notes explain how the causes of policy debates about the federal government was the rising tariffs and Henry's clay proposal for federal internal improvements. Also, american settlers pushing west, leading to the natives being unhappy and attacking back played a part in the passing of the Indian Removal Act. The national bank was vetoed by Jackson, which leads to an economic depression. The theme of Politics and Power is evident because Jackson used his power to pass things like the Indian Removal Act, which despite a lot of debate and discouragement from the Supreme Court, went through anyway. The historical skill of causation can be applied here because the Whigs Party formation was primarily because of contrasting viewpoints and debates with Jackson and his supporters over the rule of the federal government. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678169 Objective 7: Explain the causes and effects of the expansion of participatory democracy from 1800 to 1848. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678312 I attached the chapter 13 cornell notes for this assignment. This set of notes explains how how the removal of the land requirement for voting and the jacksonian era led to an expansion of participatory democracy with more ordinary white men being able to vote. The effects of this was the spoils system amd popular campaigning to the ordinary people as well as a new party system consisting of the republicans vs whigs. The theme of social structures is evident because the common man was rising up the ranks of the social ladder and having a voice in voting now primarily thanks to the jacksonian era. The historical skill of causation can be applied here because a cause of Andrew Jackson presidency and popularity was that the ordinary man felt represented and now had more of a voice thanks to his policy to remove the land requirement for voting. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678312 Objective 6: Explain how and why innovation in technology, agriculture, and commerce affected various segments of American society over time. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678448 I attached the same article from apprend.io for this objective as well. The article explains how these innovations led to poor working conditions for many ordinary Americans, particularly immigrants and a growing gap between the wealthy and the poor. The irish were immigrating to America because of a potato famine and finding work in terrible factories in the North. The germans were immigrating in search of political freedom. In general, the growth of factories led to a decrease in subsistence farming. The theme of Migration and Settlement can be applied here because the rise in innovations in these categories led to more of a need for labor in factories which was supplied by irish and german immigrants. The historical skill of argumentation can be applied here because the author argues that irish and german immigrants were migrating to fulfill the need for labor and backs this up citing the reasons they were leaving their respective countries. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678448 Objective 5: Explain the causes and effects of the innovations in technology, agriculture, and commerce over time. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678602 I attached this article from apprend.io for this objective. This article explains some of the causes for the rise in innovations was the inventions of the cotton gin, textile mill, interchangeable parts as well as better transportation systems and the expansion of slavery and immigrants. The effects was that there was growing sectionalism between the north and south but a more interconnected economy in that cotton was transported to the north and fabric to the south. The theme of work, exchange, and technology can be applied here because goods were exchanged between the north and south due to better transportation which led to a better and more interconnected economy. The historical skill of claims and evidence in sources can be applied here because the source provides evidence as to how interactions between the north and south increases, demonstrating a more interconnected economy.

]]> 2022-06-16 04:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678602 Objective 4: Explain how and why American foreign policy developed and expanded over time. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678734 I attached the chapter 12 cornell notes for this assignment. This set of notes explains how the while America originally started out being isolationist, America slowly being invested into foreign affairs, such as the War of 1812, the Louisiana purchase, and the monroe doctrine essentially declaring that anyone who tried to meddle into Latin American affairs would be faced with American aggression. The theme of America in the World is evident because America began to think of itself as more powerful in the world, as displayed through the Monroe Doctrine. The historical skill of development and processes because as American patriotism increased, America started to become more confident in it's world standing, hence getting involved in foreign affairs. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678734 Objective 3: Explain how different regional interests affected debates about the role of the federal government in the early republic. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678910 I attached this article from Khan Academy for this objective. This article explains how different regional interests led to the South and Midwest wanted a rather limited role of the federal government while the North wanted a stronger federal government. For example, because the South wanted more slave states, they wanted new states to decide whether they would be slave or free through voting without interference or dictation from the federal government. A temporary solution between the slavery problem was the Missouri Compromise, which essentially made Missouri a slave state and entered Maine as a free state. The theme of American and Regional culture is evident here because the South and north differ in terms of their believes on topics such as slavery and hence differ on their opinion on the role of the federal government. The historical skill of sourcing and situation can be applied here because khan academy is an educational source that is providing factual information without really making an argument. Hence, we know that the information is factual and reliable. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222678910 Objective 2: Explain the causes and effects of policy debates in the early republic. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222679027 I attached the chapter 11 notes for this objective as well. This set of notes explains how some of the causes of policy debates were jefferson and madison reduce taxing and tariffs but expanding federal power in the long run through the embargo act and louisiana purchase. In terms of the debate over the power of the Supreme Court, a weak Scotus and john marshall being appointed as chief justice ultimately led to the SCOTUS having more power and the federal government also expanding their power through cases like Gibbons v. Ogden. The theme of Politics and Power is evident because Jefferson and Madison had some contracting actions during their administration which caused policy debates. The historical skill of causation can be applied here because Jefferson and Madison's policies or lack of policies as it pertains to the Supreme Court giving the federal government and federalists more power led to many policy debates.]]> 2022-06-16 04:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222679027 Objective 1: Explain the context in which the republic developed from 1800 to 1848. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222679146 I attached the chapter 11 notes for this objective. This set of notes explain how political parties had emerged with differing ideologies with the primary conflict being over strong vs weak national governments. Eventually, the federalist party weakens until it dissolves. The constitution in general didn't solve all problems, such as slavery. Instead, it merely brushed past them. Finally, the population of America was increasing and changing. The theme of American and National Identity can be applied here because there was a rise in patriotism during this time with America eager to make their own culture and distance themselves from Europe. The historical thinking skill of contextualization can be applied here because the desire to distance from Europe came about from the context of America's conflict with Europe in the past and the spread of enlightenment beliefs. ]]> 2022-06-16 04:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2222679146 Objective 13: Compare the relative significance of the effects of the Civil War on American values. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001166 One of the most significant repercussions of the Civil War on America was that it unified the country and helped Americans identify with their federal government rather than their state governments. The inability of the South to secede increased the federal government's strength, and sentiments about the federal government shifted indefinitely. Other developments include the extension of rights, which resulted in a shift in American national identity to embrace African Americans to some extent. The theme of American and National Identity is evident because the civil war created a unified country and helped create an American identity centered around patriotism. The historical skill of comparison can be applied because values before and after in America changed resulting in a more unified country. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001166 Objective 12: Explain how and why Reconstruction resulted in continuity and change in regional and national understandings of what it meant to be American. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001435 Plantation owners in the South continued to hold the bulk of the land in the region even after Reconstruction. Former slaves aspired to acquire property, but were unable to do so because to the South's exploitative and soil-intensive sharecropping system, which limited land access for both blacks and impoverished whites. Segregation, violence, Supreme Court rulings, and local political practices all weakened African American liberty over time, but the 14th and 15th amendments laid the groundwork for civil rights court decisions in the twentieth century. The theme of Politics and Power is evident because radical republicans helped pass bills through congress which increased rights for African Americans. The historical skill of continuity and change can be applied because in the South especially African Americans continued to be viewed as subordinate and not worthy of rights whereas in the North they received more rights and were somewhat deemed important members in society. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001435 Objective 11: Explain the effects of government policy during Reconstruction on society from 1865 to 1877. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001565 Reconstruction changed state-federal relations and spurred debates regarding new definitions of citizenship, particularly in regard to African Americans', women's, and other minorities' rights. The 13th Amendment ended slavery, while the 14th and 15th Amendments guaranteed African Americans citizenship, equal protection under the law, and voting rights. The Constitution's 14th and 15th amendments both strengthened and divided the women's rights movement. Attempts by radical and moderate Republicans to reform racial relations in the defeated South and change the power balance between Congress and the president yielded some short-term victories. As a consequence of Reconstruction, former slaves were granted political and other leadership responsibilities, however it eventually failed owing to both vigorous Southern resistance and the North's waning determination. The theme of Social Structure is evident because the Reconstruction era helped rise African Americans status in society. The historical skill of continuity and change can be applied because African Americans continued to lack land ownership but had more rights, such as voting now. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:10:10 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001565 Objective 10: Explain how Lincoln’s leadership during the Civil War impacted American ideals over the course of the war. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001685 Lincoln and most Union supporters started the Civil War to keep the Union together, but his decision to issue the Emancipation Proclamation transformed the conflict's emphasis and prevented the Confederacy from receiving full diplomatic backing from European nations. Many African Americans left southern plantations and joined the Union Army, helping to bring down the Confederacy. In speeches like the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln strove to reunify the country by depicting the battle against slavery as a fulfillment of America's essential democratic beliefs. The theme of American and National Identity because Lincoln kept the values of patriotism and the idea of a union together. The historical skill of argumentation is evident because the author argues that Lincoln helped keep the country together and cites speeches like the Gettysburg Address to defend his position.]]> 2022-06-16 12:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001685 Objective 9: Explain the various factors that contributed to the Union victory in the Civil War. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001799 During the American Civil War, the Union held a significant material and personnel edge over the South. The South, which mostly focused on agriculture, was unable to create as many weapons to arm its troops. In comparison to the North, their losses were also considerably more difficult to replace due to their smaller population. Furthermore, the US was able to blockade Southern ports and suffocate their export-oriented economy by cutting them off from the sea. The theme of Social Structures is evident because Black Americans helped the Union win the civil war despite them being on the bottom of the social hierarchy. The historical skill of Development and Processes can be applied because the historical development of America winning the civil war was that the union remained together.]]> 2022-06-16 12:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001799 Objective 8: Describe the effects of Lincoln’s election. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001884 The South regarded peace and compromise as hopeless after Lincoln's election, and began to plan to separate. By the time Lincoln was sworn in, secession had already begun, and war was looming. Although many of the Upper South did not want to separate, the outbreak of violence and Lincoln's deployment of federal troops forced them to do so. The theme of American and National Identity is evident because the idea of a national identity was not looking very good after Lincoln's election with South Carolina and eventually other states seceding from the union. The historical skill of causation is evident because Lincoln's election led to the fall of the union]]> 2022-06-16 12:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001884 Objective 7: Explain the political causes of the Civil War. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001983 There were several causes for the Civil War, all of which were linked to slavery. Both the North and the South were supported by rebellions, protests, fake news, propaganda, and other means. On both sides of the country, individuals were extremely diverse, yet they were equally enthusiastic about their beliefs. They weren't failing in their attempts to get their message out to their fellow citizens. The fundamental issue at hand was slavery's morality, and more importantly, its legality. The North continued to claim that slavery was harmful to society because of the abuse of African-Americans and the inequitable conditions in which they had to live. The theme of Politics and Power can be applied here because politicians in the North started to realize it would be favorable to be anti-slavery, which is part of the reason this belief grew. The historical skill of contextualization can be applied here because the second great awakening was a development in the early 1800s which made people feel as though slavery was a moral wrong, which was one of the causes of the civil war.

]]> 2022-06-16 12:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223001983 Objective 6: Explain how regional differences related to slavery caused tension in the years leading up to the Civil War. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002091 Many individuals in the country were alive throughout the British abuse of former colonial peoples, and they were still harmed by the effects of how powerful foreign powers exploited them just because they were weak. After winning the Revolutionary War, Americans were ecstatic with themselves and their achievements in defeating one of the world's most formidable armies. They were passionate about Americanism (nationalism) and resentful of European immigration. The theme of Work, Exchange, and Technology is evident because the South had used slaves as a system of labor but Northerners started to oppose this morally, leading to regional differences. The historical skill of sourcing and situation can be applied here because this source's purpose was to inform and educate about the regional differences in the South vs North as khan academy is an educational source. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002091 Objective 5: Explain the effects of immigration from various parts of the world on American culture from 1844 to 1877. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002473 Millions of Europeans and Chinese laborers arrived in the United States, transforming the culture of many of the country's destinations. The largest groups of immigrants, the Irish and Germans, were frequently Catholics in a Protestant country, worked for low wages, and lived in ethnic bubbles. They were influential on the political scene and affected politics in cities through political machinery. Chinese immigrants arrived in large numbers on the west coast. They were used as cheap labor, but owing to their color and culture, they were harshly discriminated against. New nativist movements, such as the Know Nothing Party, arose as a result of the severe reaction to immigration. These movements advocated for immigration limitations and acted as a check on immigrants' political influence. The theme of American and National Identity is evident because immigrants started to become apart of America's identity and an important value of the country. The historical skill of claims and evidences in sources can be applied here because the author claims that Chinese immigrants started coming to America and provides evidence citing how they played a important part in the construction of railroads. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002473 Objective 4: Explain the similarities and differences in how regional attitudes affected federal policy in the period after the Mexican–American War. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002549 Different regions responded differently to the Mexican-American war. The South was the most enthusiastic supporter of the war, seeing it as a chance to increase the number of slave states and their Senate dominance. Meanwhile, the North saw little need to attack a neighbor for huge swathes of mostly desert, and was at best uninterested in the conflict. Following the war, a huge discussion about how the states should be split and whether or not to legalize slavery erupted, once again dividing the country along North-South lines. The theme of American and Regional culture is evident with the debate over slavery making it so that the federal government was trying to compromise with both sides. The historical skill of Argumentation can be applied here because in the video, the narrator argues that federal bills like the California Compromise attempted to appease both sides and cites evidence from the bill explaining what was in it for both the North and South.]]> 2022-06-16 12:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002549 Objective 3: Explain the causes and effects of the Mexican–American War. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002634 Manifest Destiny was mainly to blame for the Mexican-American conflict. The United States felt that Mexico's thinly inhabited areas should be incorporated into the United States and colonized by freedom-loving Americans. James Polk, who was elected in 1844, promoted the concept that America should expand democracy as much as feasible. His election symbolized the United States' manifest destiny, and he worked tirelessly to extend the country westward. Mexico's rejection of peaceful American overtures to buy California, on the other hand, heightened tensions and finally led to war. The theme of America in the World is evident because America sought to expand through ideals in the manifest destiny and demonstrate their power over their neighbors like Mexico. The historical skill of causation can be applied here because due to a desire to expand, the U.S. entered Mexican areas like California and went to war, where they ultimately won a lot of land.]]> 2022-06-16 12:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002634 Objective 2: Explain the causes and effects of westward expansion from 1844 to 1877. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002721 Following the Louisiana acquisition, the United States gained access to enormous swathes of territory that were uninhabited (save for Indians) and which it sought to claim. The War of 1812 bolstered nationalism in the United States, leading many to feel that the west was theirs to seize, and that it was only proper for America to acquire the area in order to civilize and disseminate their values. Manifest Destiny sparked disputes with America's neighbors, as well as domestic discussions as the country grappled with the resurgent slavery problem. New states became embroiled in conflicts over whether they should be free or slave states, escalating tensions. The theme of migration and settlement is evident because American settlers continued to expand westward in desire for more land. The historical skill of development and processes can be applied here because the historical development of the migration westward was inspired by beliefs like the Manifest Destiny.]]> 2022-06-16 12:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002721 Objective 1: Explain the context in which sectional conflict emerged from 1844 to 1877. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002832 The westward expansion of the United States necessitated the creation of additional slave and free states. The SGA had already built the framework for the abolitionist movement, and many in the North were opposed to slavery's extension westward. As a result, there were several discussions about whether the new states should legalize slavery. Many pro-slavery Southerners feared that if the South did not maintain a balance of slave and free states, the North would attempt to impose abolition on them. The theme of American and Regional Culture is evident because the Southerners wanted to keep a balance of slave and free states while the North opposed the expansion of slavery westward. The historical skill of contextualization can be applied here because the desire to have more slave states vs. less led to events such as the Kansas Nebraska Act. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223002832 Objective 12: Explain the extent to which industrialization brought change from 1865 to 1898. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004213 The industrial revolution of the 1800s ushered in a period of significant change across the United States. The lifestyles of the working class, which made up the bulk of the American population, were drastically altered as a result of industrialization. In an ever-changing environment, many Americans battled to maintain their occupations, especially during the Civil War and the reconstruction era. Despite the fact that there were more employment prospects, the lives of the American working class were nevertheless poorer than they had been previously. The Americans had to work in extremely harsh conditions and were only paid a pittance for their efforts. The theme of Work, Exchange, and Technology is evident because the rise in technology brought the rise in technology, which brought changes and some continuities in society with poor people being poor poorer than ever before. The historical thinking skill of contextualization is evident because industrialization occured in the midst of technological advances. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004213 Objective 11: Explain the similarities and differences between the political parties during the Gilded Age. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004315 The Gilded Age in America was a period of industrial innovation, and while it allowed America to be rebuilt on a strong economic foundation, it also had bad features that created tensions between the two parties. The Republican Party was pleased with the growth of metropolitan areas in the north. They were ecstatic about the increase in job opportunities for Americans. The Democratic Party was still reeling from the loss of slavery that the thirteenth amendment brought with it. The theme of politics and power is evident with the republican party and democratic party being largely similar in terms of economic views but the dems were trying to inspire anti-slavery sentiment. The historical thinking skill of comparison can be applied here because the political parties largely remained the same during this time period except the Republicans pursued Reconstruction ideals less. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004315 Objective 10: Explain continuities and changes in the role of the government in the U.S. economy. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004413 After President Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson was the primary portion of the federal government's Executive Branch.  Being a democratic president so soon after the Civil War had a huge impact on the country's identity. After the secession back into the Union, the ex-confederate states would finally achieve what they yearned for: adequate government representation. The Confederate States of America would be acknowledged for the first time. Andrew Johnson was on the verge of being fired. The theme of America and National Identity is evident because it become a part of the values in the country to have limited government interference. The historical skill of development and processes can be applied here because the historical development of laissez-faire government rule led to the U.S. economy being less regulated and more unequal.]]> 2022-06-16 12:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004413 Objective 9: Explain how different reform movements responded to the rise of industrial capitalism in the Gilded Age. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004566 The Americans were preparing to march for reform in the labor union. In the plant, the workers were subjected to appalling working conditions. They were forced to work in horrible, hot, sticky, and hazardous conditions, and they were surrounded by a variety of toxins. In the appalling circumstances that tens of thousands of Americans were forced to work in, it was very simple to become ill. The major business owners were being unjust by allowing the abuse of these people to continue for so long. The theme of America and Regional Culture because America began to protest and form labor unions for more rights. The historical skill of contextualization can be applied here because reform movements developed due to the Gilded Age widening the wage gap as a result of limited government interference. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004566 Objective 8: Explain the causes of increased economic opportunity and its effects on society. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004652 For Americans, the Gilded Age had both beneficial and terrible consequences. The negative social implications were generally thought to exceed the good social advantages. The Gilded Age brought economic prosperity to the country, but not to its citizens. In the Gilded Age, the typical working man was still destitute and striving to make ends meet. During the Gilded Age, working-class living conditions were deplorable. The theme of American and National Identity is evident because the land of opportunity became part of the national identity with the idea of the american dream becoming popular. The historical skill of causation because the rise in technology led to causes of increased economic opportunity but workers remained power and exploited. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004652 Objective 7: Explain the various responses to immigration in the period over time. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004791 As the Gilded Age advanced, Americans had diverse views to the influx of European immigrants into the country. Americans regarded Europeans as extra hands in factories, and they would be beneficial to the workforce since they would work for a low wage and be an effective component of manufacturing employment. Another set of Americans viewed this as a negative since it resulted in a significant increase in American nationalism and racism. The theme of America in the World is evident because Americans viewed themselves as better than immigrants from the rest of the world and nativism grew with people believing that immigrants were taking their jobs. The historical skill of development and processes can be applied because the development of the belief of nativism grew with the rise in immigration. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004791 Objective 6: Explain how cultural and economic factors affected migration patterns over time. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004900 America was the epicenter of new work prospects, particularly in the nation's northern big cities. This drew Europeans to America in quest of a better life or a better career. Others came for other reasons, such as religious freedom or fleeing the government, but the fact that they would almost certainly be able to find work was a big incentive for them to do so. As the Americans learned how economically strong they were, American nationalism prevailed again, and Europeans were occasionally subjected to racial intolerance. The theme of Migration and Settlement is evident because immigrants came to America for a better life and the gilded age created the belief that America is a land of opportunity. The historical skill of sourcing and situation is evident because this video is from khanacademy, an educational source whose purpose is to inform and spread information. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223004900 Objective 5: Explain the socioeconomic continuities and changes associated with the growth of industrial capitalism from 1865 to 1898. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005105 The affluent owners of enormous businesses who recruited thousands of Americans in factories continued to become richer and richer following the Industrial Revolution, yet the Americans never felt financially secure after performing exponential amounts of labor for long hours every day. The Americans' sense of economic instability never completely went away, which made life tough for many families who lived in frequently deplorable conditions. The theme of social structures because the poor continued to be poor with the growth of industrial capitalism if not more poor and the wealth gap increased. The historical skill of claims and evidences from sources can be applied because the claim being made is that life didn't get much better for the poor and the author cites the average salary of a factory worker to support his argument. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005105 Objective 4: Explain the effects of technological advances in the development of the United States over time. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005220 The Industrial Revolution provided America with technological and other innovations that improved their lives for decades to come. America exploded with inventors who saw the problems that Americans faced on a daily basis and chose to make a difference by bringing about change that would improve the lives of Americans. New steam engines, motorized machinery, the first telephone, typewriters, cotton gins, and more are just a few of the technical developments. These innovations not only made life simpler for the average American, but they also created thousands of new employment possibilities. The theme of Politics and Power is evident because due to technological advances, industrialists became more power in terms of politics and with more wealth, had more power in society. The historical skill of argumentation is evident because in this article, the author argues that technological advances resulted in certain industrialists getting rich and cites examples like Andrew Carnegie to support his argument.

]]> 2022-06-16 12:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005220 Objective 3: Explain how various factors contributed to continuity and change in the “New South” from 1877 to 1898. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005320 Slavery was abolished in the United States thanks to the 13th amendment. The monopolizing plantation owners could no longer regard African Americans as slaves, but rather as full human beings, which was a huge victory for the abolitionist cause. African Americans now had legitimate work options and were protected by the United States Constitution. For the inhabitants of the South, this was a significant economic and cultural shift. Their economy was only able to thrive because they were able to take advantage of the free labor that slavery provided. Plantation owners were the wealthiest people in the nation. The theme of American and Regional Culture is evident because there was a change in the regional culture in the South with African Americans now having political positions but the beliefs of local southerners largely remained the same. Hence, the historical skill of continuity and change can be applied because while there was much change in terms of African American rights, the beliefs remained the same in Southern culture.]]> 2022-06-16 12:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005320 Objective 2: Explain the causes and effects of the settlement of the West from 1877 to 1898. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005457 The process of westward expansion and settlement was complicated by the fact that there were various competing viewpoints in Congress regarding how settlements should have been distributed. The utilization of the railroad system to transfer developed commodities and products from the North to the ever-changing West aided Westward colonization tremendously. The items and more were not affected by the train's route because they were delivered straight and effectively. The inhabitants of the West most likely came from the north, with some coming from the south, but it was widely agreed that their territories should be free states, with their African American counterparts living in peace with them. The theme of Migration and Settlement is evident because due to the rise of the railroad system more people settled West on inhabited land. The historical skill of causation can be applied here because the construction of railroads where the primary cause of migration to the west because people could actually go west now.]]> 2022-06-16 12:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005457 Objective 1: Explain the historical context for the rise of industrial capitalism in the United States. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005554 Capitalistic ideas were fueled by the industrial revolution. The biggest event following reconstruction was the industrial revolution. Slavery and agriculture came to be seen as less than ideal ways to produce money in the North, and were even frowned upon. Inventors recognized the problems that Americans faced and attempted to solve them in a variety of ways, thus they focused their efforts on the mechanical revolution. Small typewriters to large-scale cotton mills were manufactured, and the economic culture of America was forever transformed. The port of the north was one of the busiest for imports and exports. They established worldwide commercial links and a stable economic foundation. The theme of Work, Exchange, and Technology is evident because the rise in inventions and new labor forces in immigrants led to the rise of industrial capitalism. The historical skill of Contextualization can be applied here because the rise in immigration and new innovations were important factors that happened in the late 1800s which led to the rise of industrial capitalism. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223005554 Objective 15: Compare the relative significance of the major events of the first half of the 20th century in shaping American identity. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006486 Pearl Harbor was an important event that influenced American identity. The surprise attack on an American naval base in Hawaii by Japan was known as Pearl Harbor. Not only did this strike precipitate the United States' entry into World War II. The American people had developed a new phobia of all Japanese, which quickly evolved into a terror of Koreans, Chinese, and Filipinos in the nation. They felt that all of the Asian Americans weren't trustworthy, and that they were in reality spies sent to provide American secrets to the Japanese in order to gain an edge in the war.]]> 2022-06-16 12:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006486 Objective 14: Explain the consequences of U.S. involvement in World War II. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006562 The United States' participation in World War II provided societal advantages to the country's women. Many males were serving in the military, either as overseas troops or as military help. This resulted in the loss of critical occupations such as factory work, clothing production, and the packaging of first-aid or food products. This increased the visibility of women in the workplace, which had never been seen previously. Women were not only introduced to new prospects, but they were also valued in their current positions. The ladies were introduced to more than being stay-at-home mothers, and the Americans were introduced to a new industry.]]> 2022-06-16 12:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006562 Objective 13: Explain the causes and effects of the victory of the United States and its allies over the Axis Powers. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006668 The Axis forces were defeated in World War II. The Axis forces were a powerful union with a stronghold over nations across Europe. They did, however, overlook the ocean's powers, particularly when they are exploited. They employed powerful boats and placed determined officers in command of the naval system, directing strikes on the Axis Powers' inferior naval forces. Imperialism and land grabs were more important to the Axis nations. The axis powers had a crippled ecpomony after the war.]]> 2022-06-16 12:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006668 Objective 12: Explain how and why U.S. participation in World War II transformed American society. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006755 Americans were once again proud to support their country, and they encouraged one another to join the fight. In addition, the American society had changed because it was more inclusive of both genders in the workplace.

The ladies were inspired by the fact that they were having such a significant effect on America's prosperity.]]> 2022-06-16 12:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006755 Objective 11: Explain how the Great Depression and the New Deal impacted American political, social, and economic life over time. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006828 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed "The New Deal," a post-Great Depression recovery plan. He sought to utilize the New Deal to safeguard the citizens of the United States and compensate them for part of their losses. The American people were trying to make ends meet, but FDR's new strategy aided them and earned him popularity. The New Deal was a scheme to have Americans insured for their losses, so that if banks collapsed, they would be safeguarded and would not have to bank run again since their money would not be jeopardized.]]> 2022-06-16 12:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006828 Objective 10: Explain the causes of the Great Depression and its effects on the economy. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223006913 The Great Depression was a period in American history when the economy collapsed, leaving citizens in ruins. People who had previously had steady occupations were now unemployed and begging for food. The American people's lives were turned upside down, and they had to adjust to having less than they had before. The stock market crash of 1929 was the catalyst for this upheaval. Tariffs also contributed to the fall, and commerce (both locally and internationally) swiftly declined. People could no longer afford to buy necessities due to severe inflation, which caused the prices of ordinary commodities to soar dramatically. To keep alive, some people starved, chilled, or resorted to theft.

It was a watershed moment in the American entertainment business! The emergence of jazz was one of the most fascinating aspects of the Roaring Twenties. Because there were popular Black singers who were praised for their Jazz, the Jazz genre of music was crucial for African Americans to share their stories. The notorious flappers rose to prominence. The Americans invented dances to Jazz 
music that they performed at social events. Jazz music was unique for African Americans since it was liked by both black and white people.]]> 2022-06-16 12:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223007055 Objective 8: Explain the causes and effects of the innovations in communication and technology in the United States over time. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223007239 This artifact taks about the invention and wide use of the telephone. This fits the theme wxt because of its tech advancements. World War I provided the impetus for Americans to develop new technological breakthroughs. They wanted to have cutting-edge technology so that the competition would be astonished when America arrived with new assault techniques. The first airplane for air strikes and faster communication for travel to Europe, telegrams for communication, and motorized weaponry for quick and efficient assaulting were among technical developments that led to the victory of the Americans in the First World War. These developments were found to be successful, and they continued to work on them.

This artifact talks about the numbers and statistics of migration patterns and how that connects to the objective.
The term "great migration" refers to the movement of thousands of African-Americans from the South to the North during World War I. The Black American population was mostly concentrated in the South since it was where most of the enslavement occurred and it was the only location they had ever known in the country. Because the North was where the abolitionist movement originated, Black Americans learned about the improved treatment of African-Americans there. Many African Americans moved merely to get away from having to work on farm lands because they didn't know how to do anything else.]]> 2022-06-16 12:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223007424 Objective 6: Explain the causes and consequences of U.S. involvement in World War I. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223007525 This artifact talks about the effects america had once they entered the war, They suffered a lot of social protest.
The continual German incitement was one of the factors that led to American engagement in WWI. Germany continued to irritate America, and at some time, the United States could no longer avoid participating in the war. Germany would send U-Boats and submarines to attack American ships and blow them up at random! For a long time, this infuriated the Americans, who tried to refrain from retaliating. After one particularly violent strike, the Americans declared war and donned their game faces. ]]> 2022-06-16 12:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223007525 Objective 5: Compare attitudes toward the use of natural resources from 1890 to 1945. 22takkarp https://padlet.com/22takkarp/g2gng6epyeyk3d2l/wish/2223007757 This artifact shows how the united states implemented the use of its vast natural resources for funding. This gave vasts amount of money to the states. Between 1890 and 1945, America had a new perspective on how to use natural resources. More precisely, throughout the progressive era, the majority of Americans supported conservationism. They realized how inefficiently the land they used to mine was being used, and they saw how they might make the space more efficient. After seeing an effective solution to this problem, I decided to take action. The Americans recognized how they could make better use of their natural resources and, as a result, waste less.

The progressive movement's main purpose was to build a nation with higher moral standards. The Americans desired to remain more truthful, kind, moral, and thoughtful. In the progressive movement, they were more religiously inclined, and they wished for people to be as sinless as possible. They desired to have the strongest possible relationship with God.

For instance it gaiend the territories of puerto rico and the philipines.

The Spanish-American War had a major impact in both America and the rest of the world. America emerged victorious from the war and triumphantly as a world power. As a result of its victory, America was able to reclaim some regions from the Spanish conquistadors and return them to a democratic state. Guam, the Philippines, and land in Latin America were all won by the Americans (islands). These territories allowed America to have territory on several continents, which not only made them feared by other countries, but also made them powerful in terms of trade because they had internal ports for imports and exports.

The similarities between the late 1800s and the Reconstruction era in terms of the nation's legitimate place in the globe were striking. After separation and the successful acquisition of new lands, the nation watched as it rebuilt itself (like Alaska being a gold mine)..

The US government waged a Cold War with the authoritarian Soviet Union to stop the spread of Communist military power and ideological influence, establish a global market economy, and build an international security system. Due to Cold War politics, public debates developed about the power of the federal government and the strategies for pursuing international and national goals while preserving civil liberties.

In the Suez Crisis of 1956, Nasser of Egypt nationalized the Suez canal and in exchange, Britain and France attacked Egypt. The US helped end conflict because they feared USSR involvement.

Because of the additional options that the country possessed, several national reforms caused a change in immigration. The country had a fresh inflow of individuals who wanted to go to university and gain a higher education so that they may have a better chance of making a better life for themselves.

Another significant feature of this war that influenced the acceptability of Black Americans into the most American of occupations, the military, was its impact on the admission of African-Americans into the military. This was a post-Civil War conflict.

This mindset was ultimately harmful to people of color because they were kept apart from the facilities and opportunities available to the rest of the country. Because they were seen as less valuable and inferior to white people, preserving and appreciating their culture was a challenging undertaking. They were able to retain their legacy by using the arts as an outlet; many authored poetry and performed songs about their past and current challenges in the jazz and rap genres.

These acts were passed because America had learnt from its mistakes during the First and Second World Wars and intended to make adjustments so that things would be better in the future. NATO is one of the most powerful Cold War initiatives that is still in place today and has been credited for keeping the country out of a current World War.NATO is an abbreviation for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is a quasi-alliance of various European and North American nations that maintains peace until one of them is attacked. If one of NATO's members is attacked, only the other NATO members can aid with relief; otherwise, the nation must keep out of the conflict to avoid a catastrophic war.
