This is a key event in the early 19th century because this is when the U.S. gained independence and Great Britain's land. Also, this event led to the civil war because this is when the U.S. was allowed to make their own laws, including laws on slavery.]]> 2022-01-26 16:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2013917587 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2013963354 When the U.S. gained the Northwest Territory, they decided they were going to make 3-5 new states out of this area that would all ban slavery. This is a key event in the early 19th century because this was the first whole territory that slavery was banned in. Also, this event helped lead to the civil war because once the south found out that an entire territory banned slavery, the south thought there should be more slave states.]]> 2022-01-26 16:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2013963354 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2013982474 When the cotton gin was invented, it revolutionized the cotton industry, which caused a huge demand for slave labor in the south. This is a key event in the early 19th century because the cotton gin revolutionized the cotton industry. Also, this event helped lead to the civil war because the cotton gin required a lot of people to operate it so, the slave trade was exploding in popularity again.]]> 2022-01-26 16:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2013982474 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2013999084 In 1803 Thomas Jefferson negotiated the purchase of the Louisiana Territory from the French leader Napoleon, this territory would double the size of the U.S. This is a key event in the early 19th century because with the Louisiana territory doubling the size of the U.S. America would gain a lot of power. This event helped lead to the civil war because congress would have to figure out a way to split the Louisiana territory into free states and slave states without either side getting angry and wanting more land.]]> 2022-01-26 16:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2013999084 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2016253521 Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set off from St. Louis, Missouri with their team, the Corps of Discovery, in hopes to explore the west and find a waterway that goes from the Pacific Ocean to the Mississippi River. This is a key event in the early 19th century because the corps of discovery led the start of westward expansion. This event helped lead to the civil war because with every new state the U.S. gained the question was going to be a free state or a slave state was asked.]]> 2022-01-27 16:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2016253521 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2016300422 In 1808 both the north and the south congressman came together and agreed to abolish the slave trade. The only reason the south agreed to abolish the slave trade is because  they get to immediately make the slave children slaves as well. This is a key event in the early 19th century because this was the end of all slave trade in the U.S. and more people being taken from their homes to become slaves. Also, this helped lead to the civil war because with the slave trade being shut down, the south would want more slave states so, there would be more fugitive slaves.]]> 2022-01-27 16:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2016300422 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2016303444 In 1819 America negotiated to buy the Florida Territory from Spain for $5 million dollars. That land included Florida and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. This is a key event in the early 19th century because with the Florida territory being gained and below the Missouri compromise line, it would soon be a slave state. This event contributed to the start of the civil war because when the Florida territory became a slave state, the north thought the slave state power in congress would increase a lot so, it increased the tension between the north and the south.]]> 2022-01-27 16:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2016303444 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018185728 Congress came to an agreement to allow Missouri to join the union as a slave state, but Maine would be changed to a slavery free state. This is a key event in the early 19th century because with the compromise line being made, no one knew if slave states or free states would have more power. This event helped lead up to the civil war due to the tension continuing to rise between the north and the south. The tension is rising because both the north and south states wanted more power in congress.]]> 2022-01-28 16:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018185728 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018195668 Congress annexed Texas into the union as a slave state. This is a key event in the early 19th century because when Texas was added to the Union, the power of the South states in Congress also increased. This contributed to the start of the Civil War because the tensions rose again between the North and the South due to more power being gained by the south.]]> 2022-01-28 16:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018195668 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018204952 A journalist, John O'Sullivan, came up with the term/phrase Manifest Destiny. This is a key event in the early 19th century because when the term "Manifest Destiny" grew in popularity, more and more people started wanting to move West in hopes of a better life. Also, this helped with the start of the Civil War because every new state that was added to the Union due to people moving West caused the debate if a state would be a slave state or a free state.]]> 2022-01-28 16:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018204952 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018213246 President Polk negotiated with Britain to divide the Oregon country into two parts. This is a key event in the early 19th century because with the U.S. gaining half of the Oregon Territory, nobody knew if the U.S.'s part of the Oregon Country would be free Territory or Slave Territory. This helped the start of the Civil War due to the increase in slave states or free states.]]> 2022-01-28 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018213246 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018219757 The U.S. gains the Mexican Cession after the U.S. won the Mexican American war. This is a key event in the early 19th century because when the U.S. gained the Mexican cession, the U.S.'s territory increased so, every state gained from the cession the question, would this be a free state or a slave state, would be asked. This contributed to the civil war because both the north and the south wanted the states in the Mexican cession, so they could get more power in congress.]]> 2022-01-28 16:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018219757 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018235080 Northern and southern congressmen allow California to be added to the union as a free state, while the other states in the Mexican cession will be decided by popular sovereignty. This is a key event in the early 19th century because the south thought that if California was added to the union as a free state then, more of the Mexican cession would allow slavery. This contributed to the start of the civil war because California being added to the union as a free state made the south want more slave states .]]> 2022-01-28 16:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018235080 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018242897 In order to build a rail-road from New Orleans to California, the U.S. negotiated with Mexico to gain a small piece of land called the Gadsden Territory. This is a key event in the early 19th century because without the purchase of the Gadsden territory, the U.S. wouldn't be able to build the rail-road from New Orleans to California to transport goods and people across the country. This helped contribute to the start of the civil war because even though the Gadsden purchase was used for a rail-road, the states that were made of the territory were all slave states. Due to the Gadsden purchase, becoming slave states, the relationship between the north and the south weakened because now the north wanted equal free states as slave states.]]> 2022-01-28 16:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018242897 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018256919 Both Kansas and Nebraska would decide the issue of slavery by popular sovereignty, which was the cause of bleeding Kansas.

This contributed tot the start of the civil war because with Kansas and Nebraska's slavery decision decided by popular sovereignty. Many people started fighting for their belief about slavery.]]> 2022-01-28 16:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018256919 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018260758 The British cession also known as the treaty of 1818 was a compromise between the United States and Great Britain which resolved most border issues between the U.S. and British North America. This is a key event in the early 19th century because when this territory was gained the question, "would this be a slave state or a free state" was asked again. This event helped lead to the civil war because the British cession ended up being a slave free, so the south wanted more states where slavery was allowed.]]> 2022-01-28 16:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018260758 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018267187 James k. Polk was the eleventh president, who served from 1845-1849, he also negotiated the split of the organ country. This is a key event in the early 19th century because with J.K Polk being elected in negotiating for the Oregon Country, nobody knew if the Oregon Country would be composed of free states or slave states. This also contributed to the start of the Civil War because this also made the tensions between the North and the South rise again over slavery disputes.]]> 2022-01-28 16:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2018267187 krobichaud1 https://padlet.com/krobichaud1/i9dkaff8ebwykt2t/wish/2063107937 On March 4th 1801 Thomas Jefferson was elected President of the United States.
