This article talks about the crusades which increase religious intolerance among Europeans. New Asian and Middle Eastern Trade routes opened up, increasing desire for gold. European countries were competing for dominance during this time as well. These three factors carried explorers to the new world where they mainly explored for the three Gs. Gold, God, and Glory. The theme shown by this article is America in the World and the historical thinking skill is Contextualization because it shows how America related to European desires and where those desires originally came from.]]> 2021-04-05 15:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383495464 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383496230 Attached is a Heimler's History video titled "Native American Societies BEFORE 1492". From the video I learned that Native peoples were organized into diverse cultures that depended on where they lived. Central America had the Aztecs. The mayan were in the Yucatan Peninsula. The Incas were in Peru. They all had pretty distinct cultures but also shared some similarities. For example, they all used maize as a pretty important source of food. Southwest America had the Pueblo people who stayed in one place and relied on farming. The Great plains had more hunter and gatherer peoples like the Ute people. The Northwest had people who lived in fishing settlements like the Chinook people. Fertile soil in the Mississippi are allowed the people in the area to settle in one place for a long time. These groups had extensive trade networks. The themes seen in this video are Social Structures and Geography and the Environment. The historical thinking skill used in this video is Making Connections  because it makes connections between the different types of people living in the Americas before European contact and the ways that they interacted with the environment similarly and somethings differently.]]> 2021-04-05 15:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383496230 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383496625 Attached is my Unit 1 FRQ Progress Check B Question 1. During this FRQ, I wrote about how the main reasons for European exploration were motivated by gold, god, and glory. They either wanted to get rich from the resources like gold and silver in the Americas, they wanted to spread their religion to the people already living in the Americas, or they wanted to get bragging rights essentially.

This video explains that the Columbian exchange was the trade of food, animal minerals, people, and unknowingly, diseases, from Europe to the Americas and vice versa. It was caused by European desire of goods from the opposite contient. The transfer of diseases was not done intentionally but had very important effects. The spread of diseases led to the fall of many native empires and resulted in many deaths. The money brought to European countries through trade influenced them to keep returning to the Americas and create permanent settlements.

From these notes, i learned about the Spanish Empire in the Americas. The Spanish landed in South America and had a more accepting (but not really) relationship towards the Natives than the English settlers. The Spanish used the encomienda system to use the natives as slaves and often pillaged through existing civilizations. Eventually their empire began to grow as more Spaniards arrived and they began to leech of the land. The use of the encomienda system led to the development of a social ladder with native slaves on the bottom any person born in Spain at the top.

From these notes, I learned about what was going on in Europe during this time period that would influence colonization in the Americas. For example, the Protestant Reformation was going on which had the intention of cleansing the Church and just religion in general to get rid of corruption. Religious persecution was also occurring during this time and many fled to the Americas to escape it. The theme seen in these notes is mainly Migration and Settlement.

One part of the triangle trade is when Merchant ships would carry rum to Africa where it would be traded for enslaved laborer. Then they would go through the middle passage with harsh conditions. They would then be traded for sugarcane in the British west indies and would go back to New England to make the trip over again. Mercantilism systems were based around matining a favorable balance of trade which accounted for the back and forth of the merchant ships making the trans-atlantic voyage. The Navigation Acts were a result of the transatlantic trade and the mercantilist economy. The theme shown by this video is America in the World and Work, Exchange, and Technology. The historical thinking skill used is Developments and Processes because the video explained the historical development of the triangle trade and transatlantic voyages.]]> 2021-04-05 15:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383508349 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383508665 Attached is my Unit 2 FRQ Progress Check B Question 1. During this FRQ, I wrote about how France's main goals in the New World were to spread religion and improve their fur trading business while Britain's main goals were to strip the land of its raw materials and send them to the mother country to boost its economy. This had a drastic effect on the way that the French treated the natives versus the way that the British treated the natives because they both had different goals. The theme shown in this FRQ is Social Structures because I wrote about the social interactions between these groups of people. The historical thinking skill used in this FRQ is Argumentation because I created a historically defensible claim and backed it up with my own evidence.]]> 2021-04-05 15:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383508665 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383509008 Attached is a Heimler's History video titled "SLAVERY in the British Colonies". From this video I learned about how slavery benefited all parts of British colonies, not only the South. Slaves were needed due to increased demand in agricultural goods. New England had less slaves because their farms were generally smaller. The Middle colonies had slaves for agriculture as well, but most worked as household servants. Slaves in the South worked on plantations. The themes seen in this video are Work, Exchange, and Technology and Geography and the Environment because the video also talked about the distribution of slaves depending on the region and the type of land available there.

In these notes, I learned about how the first forms of slavery in the British New World colonies were Indentured Servants who had to work for a set amount of time in return for passage to the New World. These indentured servants are what got the tobacco industry really rolling. When the actual institution of slavery was introduced, slaves rebelled against their cruel masters in different ways. Some chose the  more passive route and worked slower to hurt their master from the inside while others protested by escaping and hurting or killing white slave owners. The theme shown in these notes is American and Regional Culture and the historical thinking skill used in these notes is Development and Processes because I talked about the concept of slave revolts and how enslaved people fought against what was happening.]]> 2021-04-05 15:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383509227 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383509716 Attached is a Heimler's History video titled "Colonia SOCIETY and CULTURE". During this video, I learned that the Enlightenment in Europe traveled over to the Americas through transatlantic voyages. The Enlightenment also gave the colonists the idea of natural rights. The idea of a government of checks and balances also came from Enlightenment thinking. Basically, transatlantic trade make the colonists feel like they had a lot more power than they actually did and made them feel like they had a lot more control in a situation they really had none in. This was all a part of the Great Awakening. The theme seen in this video is American and National Identity. The historical thinking skills used in this video are Developments and Processes and Making Connections because it highlighted the connection between events in Europe and those that happened as a result in the colonies.]]> 2021-04-05 15:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383509716 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383510067 Attached are my Chapter 6 Cornell Notes. From these notes, I learned more about the relationship between Britain and the colonists. The British government's main goals was to keep the colonies under their rule and continue to get raw materials from them while the colonists goals were to expand westward and create powerful community to live in while not being under the control of an iron-fist like ruler. These differences in goals and interests will eventually lead to disagreements between the two which began with petitions and ended with protests. In the notes, I wrote down how after the French and Indian war specifically, Britain reprimanded the colonists when the colonists thought that they should be appreciated for fighting on the behalf of the British. This shows the themes of American and National Identity and America in the World. The historical thinking skill used in these notes is Development and Processes because I talked about the historical concept of the building disagreements and tensions between the British and Colonists.]]> 2021-04-05 15:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383510067 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383510391 Attached is me SPEC Analysis Activity for the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies.

The Declaration of Indepence was one of the very large effects of the French and Indian War. The French and Indian war put Britain in a lot of debt which they decided to pay off by using the colonists tax dollars and blaming them for causing so much loss in money. One thing led to another and the colonists were getting annoyed at Britain trying to tax them so much without proper representation in Parliament. This lead to the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence. This annotated document shows the theme of American and National Identity because it shows the American's feelings towards the King and his policies.

One example of how they did this were the Navigation laws which regulated the mercantilist system and allowed the government to remove any loopholes that the colonists had been using so that Britain benefits more. In addition, taxes were piling up on the colonists with things like the Sugar Act and Stamp Act. The build up of various laws and regulations led to events like the Boston Tea Party where the anger of the colonists just bubbled over and soon led to the Revolution. The themes shown by these notes are American and National Identity, Work, Exchange, and Technology, and Politics and Power. The historical thinking skill used in these notes is Making Connections because I identify the connections between the French and Indian war, the various laws that Britain passed over the colonists, and the American Revolution. ]]> 2021-04-05 15:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383520844 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383521885 Attached is my Period 3 DBQ. This DBQ was about the extent of change in ideas about American Independence. During this assessment, I wrote about how the idea of gaining independence from Britain seemed completely ridiculous to many Americans but as Britain began tightening restrictions and colonists were getting more and more annoyed, the possibility of a full out war became less far fetched. The themes shown in my DBQ are Politics and Power, American Regional Culture, and American and National Identity. The historical thinking skill seen in this assignment is Argumentation.]]> 2021-04-05 15:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383521885 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383523225 Attached is my work for the Revolutionary War Recorded Lesson. The prompt we had to answer asked about what the greatest factor in the war that lead to the American victory. In my thesis for this response, I said that the greatest factor was that the British were not focusing all their strength on fighting against the colonists, they were facing off against European enemies and troubles in their other colonies at the same time. If it were not for Britain's other enemies also acting up at the same time as the Revolutionary War, America would have lost. My response to the Revolutionary War Recorded Lesson shows the theme of America in the World because I talk about how Britain is stretched thin in various parts of the world.

From these notes, I learned that the Revolution movement was a minority movement, a large part of the colonists were neutral to the cause or were loyalists and wanted to stay under British control. The Revolution created a huge divide between the loyalists and patriots which lead to violence on both sides, but especially by the hands of the patriots. Often times, even if a person was neutral in the fight, they would be influenced to support the loyalists after seeing the violent methods of the patriots, or they would be so scared of being targeted by the patriots that they would join their cause. Many loyalists also moved to the northern states and after their side had lost, a significant percent of them moved out of America and into other British owned territory. The themes shown in these notes are American and Regional Culture and Migration and Settlement because I discussed the movement of loyalists to northern parts and the sentiments of certain regions of Americans towards the war both in my explanation and in the notes.]]> 2021-04-05 15:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383523847 22rays https://padlet.com/22rays/imh3yhi6fhers76k/wish/1383525076 Attached is a video from  history.com titled "Global Impact of the America Revolution".

The revolution and the government that was formed after it because it wasn't a monarch like so many of the world's governments were at the time, but rather a republic where people had rights, also unlike many places in the world where revolutions were inspired. The revolution set a sort of social standard and showed that you can be the underdog and show up one of the largest world powers at the time. The theme shown by this video is America in the World because it discusses the worldwide impact of America's actions.

These notes talk about the different forms fo government, which were the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution, and the main ideas behind both. The main outline of the Articles of Confederation is that they gave each state a single vote, amendments needed unanimous ratification, states were left to regulate commerce on their own, and essentially, the federal government had no power. This sort of government was initially formed because people were weary of giving the federal government too much power and have it be a repeat of what happened with Britain. Under the Constitution, the government would have three branches and congress would have two branches of its own where in one, state representation would be equal and in the other, it would be based on population.

I was in charge of completing this assignment for antifederalist papers 18, 44, 70. Paper 18 talks about the importance of taking our time with the constitution and make sure that it is perfect before ratifying it. It also talks about how judging by Britain's past actions, they are not likely to leave America unless they are pushed out using force. Paper 44 talks about how the federalists are spending their time just saying that the antifederalist concerns are ridiculous and have no real basis instead of trying to ease their worries using facts and information. He also points out several time that the federalists had lied about things that are stated in the constitution in order to get more antifederalist support.

One large societal change was that people now had established natural rights outlined in the Constitution. Another way that the Revolution affected society was that the people were now able to vote for the person that would 'rule over them'. A third is that new political parties were formed that were specific to the new republic and its constitution while pre-revolution era, there was pretty much just loyalists and patriots.

From these notes, I learned about the Mexican American War. The war was caused by Americans essentially taking over Texas and becoming a lone-state and Mexico accusing America from stealing Texas away from them. The initial reason that Southern Americans even went into Texas was to spread the institution of slavery and eventually admit Texas as a slave state so that the pro-slavery groups have more power in the government. The effects of the war was even more section tensions as the northerners didn’t want the new territories given to American for winning the war to be admitted as slave states and the southerners wanted more slave states to be added.

These notes talk about some of the effects of people moving out west. One reason that people expanded westward is that the government was practically giving away large amounts of land to people who wanted to move out west and farm on it. Another factor is economic opportunity in the west like the gold rush so some people would move out there to try their luck and getting rich. The results of the settlement of the west is that many people went broke because the land plots that they were given weren't good for farming. Another is that banks gave out too many loans that people weren't able to keep up with.

These notes talk about how urbanization was effected by outside factors. One of these factors was the advancement of technology and the invention of new products. For example, cities were able to spread out into urban developments due to the creation of the electric trolley which allowed residents to live further away from where they worked. Another factor is the problems that arose with city living at people’s standard of living rose. The cites lacked proper garbage disposal so trash just kept piling up.

In this video, he explains how millions of Asian and European immigrants came to America during the Gilded age and settled in urban centers and took jobs in factories under harsh conditions. Americans began to get concerned over the American identity with so many non-Americans around. Nativists hated the immigrants, especially those that weren't protestant. Labor Unions feared the influx of immigrants because they relied on agreeing to work for higher wages but businesses would just take immigrant workers who were willing to get paid less.

From these notes, I learned about how the worker’s rights movement grew and how they advocated for these rights. Once industrialization began spreading across the country, Labor Union began to form in order to protect workers rights against big businesses and industries who only cared about making money, even if it was at the expense of human decency. For example farmers formed the Farmer’s Alliance and black farmers formed their own called the Colored Farmers’ National Alliance. There were also several strikes and protests that went on like the Pullman Strike of 1984.

In this assignment, my group members and I defined terms related to industrialization and then wrote what that term's relationship with Industrial growth, or essentially how it affected America. For example the idea of Laissez-faire economics was brought up and this changed society because now the government wasn't controlling every aspect of the economy, but was rather letting businesses run loose. In addition, different industrial processes like the Bessemer process were defined and explained. The bessemer process was important to society because America was now able to produce steel faster and at a less cost. This allowed for steel to becoming a more common building material, especially in things like skyscrapers which were now able to be build higher.

From these notes I learned about the various international affairs that America was involved in during this period like the Filipino rebellion and Open door Policy in China. There were many Americans who thought that it was unnecessary for America to keep getting so involved in foreign events that don’t concern us. Others, on the other hand felt that America needed to be involved in foreign affairs, especially those in Latin America.

These notes discuss the progressive movement and what kinds of reforms they wanted along with what kinds of people supported or were a part of the movement. The main goals of the progressive reform movement were to use state power to control trusts and improve the common person's life. These goals were accomplished in many ways, onne being through muckrakers, or journalists that wrote articles exposing corruption. The results of the movement included several things like more anti-trust legislation and more labor unions and labor laws to protect the common person.

From this video I learned about Henry Ford who created the assembly line. It drove the prices of automobiles because it was so efficient and the assembly line made its way to other industries as well. Automobiles became very common in America once they became cheaper and this lead to migration outwards, away from cities because people could travel across large distances in short amounts of time. The advertising industry grew. New communications technology like the radio and cinema helped the spread of mass culture across the country. These forms of communication also helped highlight regional differences like race and ethnicity. This led to events like the Harlem Renaissance.

According to the video, as migration from cities to suburbias occured, new opportunities were opened up for women and immigrants. Women in urban centers were given the opportunity to enter the work force but they got payed less than men for the same jobs. Some women starts cutting their hair short and smoking to combat social norms of the times. Nativism spiked as more immigrants entered the country from Europe and Asia. Southern blacks also began settling north for better economic opportunity which sparked the Harlem Renaissance which added more literature and Jazz music to American culture.

From these notes, I learned about the different causes of the Great Depression. One of the large and probably most well known causes of the depression was the Stock Market Crash which hurt a lot of people. Another cause was overproduction by farms and factories. Due to the introduction of the assembly line and new farming technologies, farms and factories were able to produce more products than ever before, however, the problem was that there weren't enough consumers to keep the economy balanced during the levels of high production. A third factor is the overexpansion of wages. The theme seen in these notes is work, exchange, and technology.

From these notes, I learned about how the Great Depression came to an end as the war picked up America's economy. Factories began producing goods that were essential to the war and now didn't have to fear overproduction because they were necessary products. The government was also given the ability to take over industries that were on strike which allowed for even more efficient production. More immigrants came into america as well, especially from mexico, because they were needed to run farms and factories while the draft took many workers away.
