Through numerous negotiations and wars, they gained more land. This is a key event in the early 19th century because this is the start of America forming. ]]> 2022-01-26 16:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2013908707 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2013939648 President Thomas Jefferson wanted to buy the Louisiana Purchase from France because of New Orleans' great produce.  Objects of the negotiation were to obtain the territory on the left bank of Mississippi and eastward of that but then, France completely left Louisiana to focus on their own Europe. Jefferson thought that this was unconstitutional because this land doubled the size of the US. This is a key event of the early 19th century because soon people would start to believe in Manifest Destiny and move westward.

He hired Lewis and Clark to explore the land. They were to research the climate, the natural resources, the natives of the land, weather conditions, establish trade with the Native Americans, and have the French and the British and the Spanish know that the land is the U.S. They were to follow the Missouri river to discover these vast new lands. They also gave peace medals to the Native Americans to ensure that they have trust and good will. This is key event because once this area was explored, people would be moving

Andrew Jackson drove the Native Americans out of this land. This was an important event regarding the early 19th century because once this land was admitted to the union, it would become a slave state.]]> 2022-01-26 16:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2013984764 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2016253604 When the Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the US, the land was divided into territories and as the population grew, it could become states. When Alabama and Illinois accepted to be in the union, Alabama would be a slave state and Illinois a free state. Missouri took months to be in the union because the south would then lose its power to vote and to block any anti-slavery bills. Most of Missouri is already in the Northern area where slavery is banned and if Missouri did enter the union, Northerns thought that it could spread throughout the whole entire Louisiana Purchase. The Southerners thought that Congress has no right to prevent slave owners from keeping slaves in a state. Northern people were thought to be trying to end slavery. Then, Henry Clay made a compromise. Missouri would be admitted to the union as a slave state but Maine a free state and a line would be drawn across the purchase to limit slavery above the line. This is event was leading to the Civil War because the North and South have completely different opinions on slavery and the line was just a "band-aid".]]> 2022-01-27 16:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2016253604 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2016301055 When America was fighting a war with Mexico, Mexico lost and lost a ton of land. America now owns this territory and settlers brought slaves here because Texas was now a slave state. This is a key event that will lead to the Civil War because now that there are more slave states, it'll start causing even more tensions between the North side and the South side.]]> 2022-01-27 16:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2016301055 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2018253620 While debate about the Missouri Compromise stopped for a bit, the nation was still bickering about slavery. People who wanted to end slavery sent numerous anti-slavery petitions to congress but they just ignored them. A man named Nat Turner made a slave rebellion but then more than 50 white people were killed. Fears of further violence led to stricter slave laws. Meanwhile, enslaved people continued to protect their rights by running and some generous Northerners were able to help them escape. After America fought a war with Mexico and won, the US needed to decide if they would allow slavery in that area or not. The North thought the Mexican Cession should be a free territory or the new territory should be decided by popular sovereignty. The South believed that all of the Mexican Cession should be open to slavery or the Missouri Compromise line should be extended all the way to the Pacific coast. The final compromise was that the North would have California added to the union but as a free state and the slave trade in Washington DC would end (slavery itself did not). For the South, the Fugitive Act was passed. This act made it easier for slave owners to find and take back slaves who've escaped. The Mexican Cession was divided into two territories, New Mexico and Utah would be decided if it was free or not by popular soverginty. This event leads to the Civil War because congress still hasn't resolved the confilct of slavery between the North and South and this caused violence. ]]> 2022-01-28 16:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2018253620 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2018259425 Before the war with Mexico and the United States, a boundary was set between Mexico and the United States to prevent people from coming here. When Mexico refused to move, this was what made the war happen. This was a key event because once the US won, the territory would be part of the Westward Expansion territory.]]> 2022-01-28 16:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2018259425 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2018260299 When the United States needed to buy land to be able to build railroads in the south, they negotiated with Mexico to get the Gadsden Purchase. This territory provided a western route. This is a key event of the 19th century because the US are advanced enough to start building railroads.]]> 2022-01-28 16:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2018260299 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2018261269 The US and a portion of another country agreed to share this territory. The United States took the Southern part and the Northern part was given to the other country. This is a key event because it'll be part of the Westward Expansion land. ]]> 2022-01-28 16:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2018261269 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2021660036 North of the Louisiana Purchase, some land was now known as the official Indian Territory ever since it became part of the US. But, in 1854, Senator Douglas proposed to divide the territory into two, Kansas and Nebraska. Both would decide the issue of slavery through popular sovereignty. Douglas wanted to open the territory to build railroads and to have them pass through the land. Then Kansas became a state and was a breeding ground for political violence. Settlers came to the land to either oppose slavery or to encourage it. People were so violent because of the slavery issue, Kansas was now known as "Bleeding Kansas" This drove the Civil War because now that people are being extremely violent, this is causing the Civil war to happen. ]]> 2022-01-31 16:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2021660036 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2021678776 Nat Turner (mentioned in an earlier event) formed a rebellion to try and end the slave. Unfortunately, since he was an enslaved man, he and more than 50 men died trying to fix the issue.

People wanted to move here because of the rise in population, two economic depressions, and religious motivations. By the time that Texas became a state, the idea of the US has to expand west all the way to the coast of the Pacific Ocean had taken people from different regions, classes, and politics. Manifest Destiny resulted the war with Mexico, brutal mistreatments of Native Americans, Hispanics and European people. It also caused the big debate of slavery that led to the Civil War.]]> 2022-01-31 16:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2021708357 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2021718967 In 1805, Lewis and Clark had explored all of the Louisiana Purchase and told President Thomas Jefferson that people can now settle here.

Because he was from the North, he opposed the idea of slavery and since the southerners did not like this at all, they did not want a president who will make laws that would affect them. This is a key event that led to the Civil War because now that they have a president who has different beliefs in slavery that people don't like, it's just gonna cause so much more problems.]]> 2022-02-01 03:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2022575642 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2022582934 In 1794, the Cotton Gin was invented in the south to make it easier to get the cotton out of the shell and to get the fibers. This made it extremely crucial to keep slavery in the south because they needed the work to be done, it's a great investment, and they needed the slaves to do it. The Slave Trade couldn't be abolished due to this. This is a key event of the early 19th century because this invention will make it so that the south has more reasons to keep slavery.]]> 2022-02-01 03:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2022582934 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2022590026 Due to the Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Act was passed. This act would ensure that enslaved people who have escaped from their owners would be brought back to their "home". This was a key event that led to the Civil War because the south are holding on tight to slavery and is doing everything they can to keep it but the north thinks that this is very wrong and should be stopped.  ]]> 2022-02-01 03:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2022590026 RaelynnKaiser https://padlet.com/RaelynnKaiser/otypnwlwacdbv9ky/wish/2022593985 In 1856, Senator Preston Brooks gets so fed up with the issue of slavery and how people aren't doing anything to fix it that he beats up Charles Sumner on the US Senate floor. He did this all with just his wooden cane and then the next day, he brought another cane with "Hit Him Again" engraved on the cane.

They're more referred to them as "persons" and "people" because they wanted to set an example on the country.
