market revolution\ferment of culture and reform by https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3 {1824 – 1860} - American Pageant: Chapters 14 & 15 en-us 2019-11-25 14:02:10 UTC 2025-11-14 17:50:38 UTC hello@padlet.com How does the image of the frontier compared with the reality of pioneer life as described in the chapter? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416152287 Life was rough for most pioneer families. The families were poorly fed, ill-clad, and housed in hastily erected shanties. Also, they were ill-informed and were perpetual victims of disease, depression, and premature death. Women felt lonely and men got violent with each other for entertainment. The pioneer life was defiantly not an army of muscular axmen triumphantly carving civilization out of the western woods. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416152287 Why was transportation—particularly the canals and railroads—so important in the early stages of industrialization? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156037 The transportation revolution (stressing canals and railroads) was super important to our economy. It changed the way we did everything. Producers market changed and farmers could now do business with other countries because it was easier and faster to transports goods. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156037 Which technological innovation was most important for early-nineteenth-century economic development? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156111 Before the cotton gin, slavery was dying out. Yet, once the cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney it changed everything. The cotton gin made it easier to separate cotton from its seeds and therefore demand more slave labor to pick it in the south since the demand for it in the factories in the north was increasing. It also pushed back the emancipation of slaves. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156111 What effects did the movement from a subsistence to a market economy have on American society, including farmers, laborers, and women? What were the advantages and disadvantages of the change? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156186 We needed textiles, that's where farmers came in. But we had new technology to help them. In the north and mid west, we started transforming into a individual worker for individual wages economy. Women worked in the textile mills. The economy was more competitive, cheaper, and quicker; but the working conditions of the factories were horrible. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156186 What caused the market and transportation revolutions of the nineteenth century? As you read this chapter, how many different reasons for the development of these changes can you identify? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156408 There are three main reasons for the market and transportation revolutions: rapid improvements in transportation and communication, the production of goods for a cash market, and the use of inventions and innovations to produce goods for a mass market. ]]> 2019-11-25 14:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156408 In this chapter, the authors maintain that “clearly the early factory system did not shower its benefits evenly on all.” What relevant historical evidence can you find in this chapter or the previous ones that supports, modifies, or refutes this assertion? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156511 The working conditions at the factory system were poor and unsafe. They families, and later women, had to work long hours for little wages. Plus, it was easy for them to get fired because their work was low-skilled.]]> 2019-11-25 14:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156511 As you read this chapter, can you combine the information from the primary source excerpts, tables, figures, maps, and text to create a persuasive understanding of westward migration and demographic changes in the United States from 1790 to 1860? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156564 There was an increased population and more people began to move westward. Immigrants had a lot to do with the population boom (they settled mostly in the north as land was too expensive for them to buy). Cities grew and America became more diverse in all regards (social class, religion, and heritage).]]> 2019-11-25 14:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416156564 Were the “cult of domesticity” and the rise of the child-centered family signs of an improvement or a restriction in women’s status and condition? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233050 It was a sign of improvement in women's status and condition because women had a huge role in raising children (make them independent thinkers) and they were starting to stand up for causes. ]]> 2019-11-25 16:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233050 Was the “new family” a progressive reflection of American democratic ideals, or a restriction on them? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233278 The "new family" was a progressive reflection of American democratic ideals because women were better able to raise the children and teach them to make decisions based on moral standards. They could shape the children better. ]]> 2019-11-25 16:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233278 Why did America produce so many reform and utopian movements? What did they contribute to American culture? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233431 America produced so many reform and utopian movements because Americans wanted to create a better way of life for themselves and their children. The many reforms and utopian movements contributed a more diverse, calmer, and understanding America than before. ]]> 2019-11-25 16:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233431 How does the Second Great Awakening of the nineteenth century compared to the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century? As you read this chapter and review the information about the Great Awakening in Chapter 5, how many relevant similarities and differences between these two events can you generate? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233597 The first and second Great Awakenings relied on emotion, they both saw increases in women membership in churches, and new sects were developed. With that being said, the second Great Awakening inspired reform movements (the first GA did not) and the Second Great Awakening focuses more on individual (believed individuals could achieve salvation through own efforts). ]]> 2019-11-25 16:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233597 After you have read “Contending Voices: The Role of Women”, can you analyze both excerpts’ intended audience, purpose, and point of view? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233695 The first excerpt was written by a writer for a newspaper in Albany, New York. The article is titled Women out of their latitude and it mocks the Seneca Falls Convention. The other excerpt is from a reform-minded newspaper and it replied to the other newspaper by saying how it's time that women and men be treated as equals. ]]> 2019-11-25 16:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233695 In this chapter, the authors reference a British critic in 1820 who said, “In the four quarters of the globe who reads an American book, or goes to an American play, or looks at an American picture or statue?” Yet, they also trace the development of uniquely American forms of art, architecture, and literature in the nineteenth century. As you read this chapter, can you explain the continuities and changes in American art, architecture, and literature from 1790 to 1860? brooklyneviolet https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233818 Three art forms that rose to the top during the industrial revolution were: romanticism, realism, and impressionism. Also, authors were writing more controversial pieces. ]]> 2019-11-25 16:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklyneviolet/lwhr3x4qd4j3/wish/416233818
