Describe King Phillips War, the establishment of town meetings and development of a
legislature. Explain how the end of Anglo-French imperial competition as seen in the
French and Indian War and the 1763 Treaty of Paris laid the groundwork for the
American Revolution.
The House of Burgess was the first representative body in colonial America. It closely
resembled the parliament and began a strong tradition of representative government.
Despite this having been the first representative body in America the first ever signed
agreement to a form of government was agreed upon before by people who hadnt even
yet reached land. The Mayflower Compact was a contract in which people riding the
Mayflower ship agreed to a certain form of government and to obey specific laws. The
first continental congress took place in 1774 and was attended by twelve out of thirteen
colonies. The representatives had met to plan what would be done if Britain didn't alter its
actions regarding the way it was treating the colonies. The Proclamation of 1763 stated
that British settlers couldn't live west of the Appalachians and if they already had they
must move.

In 1609 the Virginia Company founded Jamestown, the first permanent English
settlement in America. Colonist had a difficult time settling down in this new land. It
wasn't until John Roffe introduced tobacco as a cash crop that life in the colonies seemed
to improve. As the production of tobacco increased the need for labor increased leading
to the beginning of slavery in 1619. The slaves that first arrived had originally been
indentured servants. Slavery soon became popular in the colonies leading to the
development of the middle passage and the triangular slave trade. As Jamestown began to
flourish King James revoked the charter and made it a royal colony. Taxes soon increased
leading to events such as Bacons Rebellion. Britains salutary neglect of New England
ended when Britain tried to impose harsh and unlawful acts and taxes such as the
Quartering Act. It was during this time that the colonies had laid the foundation for
Americas economical success.

Americans, religious tensions that led to colonies such as Rhode Island, Salem Witch
Trials. Explain the significance of the Great Awakening. Identify Benjamin Franklin as a
symbol of social mobility and individualism. Explain the importance of Thomas Paines
Common Sense to the movement for independence.
During the colonization of America many emigrated here to flee religious persecution
such as the Pilgrims/Separatists had. They set up there own colonies in which they didn't
tolerate those of different religions, which lead to disputes between them and others.
These disputes lead to Quakers fleeing to Rhode Island to escape the cruelty they faced
when near Puritans. Many religious movements took place during this time like the Great
Awakening, in which people thought they were becoming too worldly and attempted to
change that. Native Americans were also facing hardships as they were being pushed
farther away from their homelands. Wars broke out between the colonist and Native
Americans one in which Powhatans daughter Pocahontas was captured and later wed to
John Roffe. The Native Americans relationship with the colonists remained rocky for a
long time afterward as they continued to take their land. In the midst of all of this settlers
were trying to figure out there place in terms of freedom. Thomas Paines, Common
Sense lead many people to believe they should free themselves from British rule. A large
division was created between the settlers, as some believed they should free themselves
and others thought they should remain loyal to their mother country.

Standards: Explain Yorktown, the role of Lord Cornwallis and the Treaty of Paris 1783.
Explain how weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation and Daniel Shays Rebellion led
to a call for a stronger central government. Evaluate the major arguments of the antiFederalists and Federalists during the debate on ratification of the Constitution as put forth
in The Federalists Papers concerning form of government, factions, checks and balances,
and the power of the executive, including the roles of Alexander Hamilton and James
Madison. Explain the key features of the Constitution, specifically the Great Compromise,
separation of powers, limited government, and the issue of slavery. Analyze how the Bill
of Rights serves as a protector of individual and states rights. Explain the importance of
the Presidencies of George Washington and John Adams; include the Whiskey Rebellion,
non-intervention in Europe, and the development of political parties (Alexander Hamilton)
The Articles of Confederation is considered the first constitution of the U.S, it went into
effect in 1781 and was approved by all thirteen colonies. The Articles had created a weak
national government, which had been done on purpose because settlers feared a strong
central government after what theyd gone through with the parliament. The Articles were
deemed to have too many weaknesses as it showed with Shays rebellion, that a stronger
central government was needed. A convention was soon held in Philadelphia to amend the
Articles of Confederation and instead the Constitution was made. The Constitution was
made with three key compromises: The Great Compromise, The Three Fifths
Compromise, and The Commerce Compromise. The Great Compromise combined the
Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan creating the legislature with two houses, one thats
based on population and another that allowed two senators per state. The Constitution
banned slave trade for the next twenty years as a compromise and only three fifths of
slaves would be counted for representation and taxation purposes. In order to insure not
one branch had to much power, the power was evenly divided among the three branches.
The Bill of Rights had been added as a precaution to reassure the people their rights would
not be infringed upon and lists the rights we have. The Constitution also included articles
that outlined the foundation of our government.

exploration by Lewis and Clark. Explain major reasons for the War of 1812 and the wars
significance on the development of a national identity.
Standards: The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 specified how land in the Northwest could
become states and the different laws that would be enforced. Slavery was banned in this
territory making it a safe haven for slaves. Large masses of people migrated towards this
area during this time period and were quiet taken with the idea they could live in a land
not previously colonized and yet not be subservient to an established government. Only
three to five states could petition for statehood in the Northeast Territory. In order to be
allowed to admit for statehood around sixty thousand people must occupy the territory.
Public education was highly encouraged in this part of the country as were practicing civil
liberties. Just like this territory becoming accustomed to becoming part of the U.S,
Thomas Jefferson was conflicted on whether or not to purchase land from the French. In
the end he adopted a loose interpretation of the Constitution and deemed it acceptable. The
Louisiana Territory was purchased in 1803 for fifteen million dollars and nearly doubled
the size of the U.S. The land had not previously been explored and mapped which lead to
Jefferson commissioning Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to do so. The two left in
May of 1804 and returned two years later after many had believed them to be dead
because of their long absence.

Explain the Northwest Ordinances importance in the westward migration of Americans,
on slavery, public education, and the addition of new states.
The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson and contains ideas
taken from philosophers John Locke and Montesquieu. John Lockes philosophies
included ideas such as the Social Contract Theory, the consent of the governed, Life
Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, some of which an clearly be seen in Jeffersons
writings. The Declaration of independence lead to the American revolution in which
America recognized itself as its own country independent from Britain causing a war to
break out between the two nations. Marquis de Lafayette helped the US by providing a
military expertise, which in turn forced France to recognize Americas independence.
Frances recognition leads to other European countries realizing what was taking place and
helping America in its war. The British suffered large drawbacks after Spain entered the
war in 1779. Many battles took place during this revolution one of the best-known being
Valley Forge in which many soldiers suffered due to the harsh conditions they faced in the
mid-winter. The crossing of Delaware to surprise and defeat thousands of enemy in what
came to be known as the Battle of Trenton was also seen as a large victory. America ended
up winning its war against Britain leaving the U.S to celebrate its newfound freedom.

Compromise of 1850 arose out of territorial expansion and population growth.
James Monroe wrote the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. The Doctrine was a way of telling
European countries they could no longer interfere with America or attempt to colonize it.
James Monroe was prompted to write it after having heard rumors of a European country
wanting interfere and further colonize America. Shortly after the Monroe Doctrine was
written the Election of 1824 took place in which John Quincy Adams won. In the next
elections in 1828 Andrew Jackson won. Jackson led the Jacksonian Democracy, a political
movement that argued better rights for the common man and disliked aristocracy. Under
Jacksonian Democracy men who didnt own property were allowed to vote. Also under his
rule the Force Bill had been created which allowed Jackson to force South Carolina to
obey the law and pay protective tariffs. The protective tariffs had been a controversial
issue in which the North liked the tariff and the South didnt. South Carolina had opposed
the tariff and threatened to secede from the Union, this became known as the Nullification
Crisis. John C. Calhoun had spread the idea of sectionalism in the U.S by threating to
secede; he was the first person to ever lead his state, South Carolina, to do so. In 1835 the
Texas Revolution occurred leading to the annexation of Texas, which in turn lead to the
Mexican American War. Once the war had ended the U.S had gained new land in which
the Wilmot Proviso specified that slavery wouldnt be tolerated in the lands theyd
recently acquired.

The construction of the Erie Canal took around seven years and
provided a more effiecient way to transport goods. The Erie Canal runs
from Albany, NY to Buffalo . It created a large growth in New Yorks
population and helped the economy immensly. The economy in the
north was also spurred on by Eli Whitneys develpoment of
interchangable parts. Interchangable Parts allowed for muskets and
later on other products, to be easily repaired if broken. Before this
invention each musket was one of a kind and difficult to fix or replace
but with Whitneys invention it made it much easy especially in times of
war. It became easy to employ unskilled workers an produce a large
number of muskets or other products.The economy shifted a bit when
more and more people beagan to move westwards. As more people
began to travel out westwards the concept of manifest destiny began to
slowy emerge.

Standards: Explain how slavery became a significant issue in American politics; include
the slave rebellion of Nat Turner and the Rise of Abolitionism (William Lloyd Garrison,
Frederick Douglass, and the Grimke sisters). Describe the westward growth of the United
States including the emerging concept of Manifest Destiny. Describe reform movements,
specifically temperance, abolitionism, and public school. Explain womens efforts to gain
the suffrage, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Seneca Falls convention.
Slavery was a very conterversial issue during this time period where many people, more
so in the North, believed it to be unconstitutional and wrong, whereas southners saw it as a
right. Getting rid of slavery would have messed up the economy in the south seeing as a
large majority of the manual labor done in plantations were at the hands of slaves. Letting
go of such a large workforce wasnt something plantatain owners wanted. The conditions
under which slaves suffered at times led them to revolt, one of the most famouse
rebellions being Nat Tutners rebellion. Nat Turner and a few of his followers attacked and
murdered there owners family and gathered arms and followers. They killed around sixty
whites. This lead to a riegn of terror among the whites and the murder of many innocent
blacks. Many still fought for the just cause of freeing the slaves such as William Lloyd
Garrison, Fredrick Douglass, and the Grimke Sisters. During this time period women were
also fighting for their rights. The Seneca Falls Convention took place in 1848 and was lead
by Elizebeth Staton who read her Declaration of Sentimeants and Grievences. Twelve
resolutions were also passed, one that faced major ridicule and caused some to withdraw
there support: the right to vote. This marked the start of womens suffrage movment in
America and since then Seneca conventions were hels regularly.

presidential election of 1876 and the subsequent Compromise of 1877 marked the end of
Reconstruction.

Lincoln tried his best to preserve the union as long as could but the differences between
the northern states and the southern states were extensive and tensions had risen
significantly. The southern states didnt want to give up slavery; it would mean there
agricultural economy wouldnt bring them as much profit without slaves. In his
Gettysburg Address Lincoln mentioned the US Declaration of Independence and how it
believed all men were created equally. He pointed out that not only were they fighting for
the union but also for equality and justice and that those who died fighting died fighting a
noble cause. Lincoln died in 1865 and soon after his death Andrew Johnson was elected
president. He served three years before he was impeached with the US House of
Representatives voting 11 Articles of impeachment against him. Johnson hadnt set up an
acceptable Reconstruction Program for the south and had been protecting members of his
cabinet that were considered to be more on the radical side.

31. The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order given by Lincoln to free all
the slaves in the rebel states. The slaves in the Union werent freed but freed slaves
from the south were allowed to enter the union army. The Emancipation Proclamation
led to the thirteenth amendment being made. Many programs were set up to help freed
slaves adjust like the Freedmens Bureau and land had been promised too; forty acres
and a mule. The government failed to deliver the forty acres and a mule due to the
intervention of President Johnson who ordered the land to be returned to its previous
owners. The south didnt have as many railroads as the north and was considered to be
slightly less populated. The trains made it easier for goods to be traded helping the
economy overall. The west became more populated and farmers were finding it easier
to sell their produce. Those that traveled via trains were helping the railroads earn
money.

55. The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed states to vote on whether on not they would allow
slavery through popular sovereignty. Many anti-slavery and pro-slavery supporters
rushed into Kansas to vote. Violence erupted in the state, which lead to what became
known as Bleeding Kansas. This incident can be used as an example of failure of
popular sovereignty. The tensions between the north and south would later become
stronger when the Dred Scott case ruled that any black whether free or enslaved
couldnt claim us citizenship and were there forth unable to petition the courts for
freedom. Fortunately the thirteenth amendment abolished slavery freeing the slaves in
1865. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments also gave rights and insured equality
between the two races. Despite how far theyd managed to come there were still some
drawbacks like the Black Codes that were enforced and other forms of resistance to
equality like the Ku Klux Klan. Yet despite everything that had occurred they managed
to persevere through the challenges they faced.

95. The Jim Crow laws were laws that restricted the African American in the south
through segregation. These laws plus the discrimination made it difficult for them to
assimilate themselves in a white society. The ruling of Plessey vs. Ferguson ruled that
segregation was permissible so long as it was separate but equal. Despite all the
negative things occurring with segregation, foundations like NAACP helped people
out. The NAACP stands for the national association for the advancement of colored
people, they strive to ensure equality and eliminate racial hatred. During this time
many movements and reforms were occurring in order to get rid of corrupt
government and businesses, like the AFL. The American Federation of Labor, which
fought for immediate goals and better working conditions. There were many different
programs set up with the intention to improve various different things ranging from
living conditions to civil liberties. With all of the reforms taking place the government
also offered a way to help through initiative. Initiative allows voters to petition for the

The railroads caused a tremendous difference in society; it
helped in trading goods and allowed people to travel a farther distance in a shorter
amount of time. Items like steel, grains, and other goods were traded by trains and
helped the economy. Railroads helped move people out farther west and thus helped
further the development of it. They also sold low costing parcels of western land for
farming which encouraged people to move and settle land there. The Transcontinental
Railroad was completed in 1869 and linked the east and west of the U.S. The trains
meet at Promontory Point Utah and took about seven years to build with a large
majority of the labor being done by the Chinese. Around this time a lot of work done
in the US was either industrial or agricultural. Thomas Edisons invention of a light
bulb helped increase the number of hours worked in a day within factories. Edisons
inventions had a large impact in America, motion pictures had become a norm in

Ellis Island was the station in which immigrants would arrive and
would be processed. Typically the Europeans that had been migrating here came from
Northern and Western Europe but a new wave of immigrants were coming from
Eastern and Southern Europe. The new immigrants were typically poor and were
leaving their countries due to political instability. These new immigrants didnt blend
into American society as previous immigrants had instead they created communities
that imitated their own cultures. Due to there poverty they couldnt afford to buy more
land and worked with unskilled labor. In Pullman factory during the rough economic
times violence broke out when many workers were either laid off or had there wages
lowered. The employees who had previously worked there began attacking the new
ones, as theyd enter for work. In the end the President forced the army to intervene
and stop the protest leading people to believe the government would always side with
the big business. That was found to be untrue when people read about the inside of
meatpacking industries in Upton Sinclairs book The Jungle. The book detailed the
horrors of working in a meatpacking factory meant and what the meat went through.
The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 was passed as congress was pressured to pass laws
regulating it even if it didnt benefit the businesses.

196. America gained Guam, Puerto Rico and The Philippines in the Spanish- American
War. The war began when President McKinley was put under pressure to do something
after their ship docked in Cuba had supposedly been blown up by the Spaniards there,
killing over two hundred people. McKinley requested a declaration of war from
congress and it was soon granted. Even before the official declaration of war was
made a fleet was already being sent to the Philippines, a country known to have been
under Spanish rule for over 300 years. Meanwhile the Spaniards and the Americans
were fighting in Cube. The war ended with America winning and having also gained
land. In the First World War however America attempted to remain neutral but
eventually entered the war. The Germans submarines began to violate rights leading
the US to join the war. The wars ended with no victory but did bring peace. After the
war President Wilson Proposed The Fourteen Points that were meant to help keep the
US out of the war and create a League of Nations.

diplomacy, had freedom of the seas, free trade, and the League of Nations. The
fourteen points were a series of points that proposed world peace. The League of
Nations was created at the Paris Peace Conference it was created to help solve disputes
between countries in order to prevent more wars. Thomas Roosevelt added an addition
on to the Monroe Doctrine called the Roosevelt Corollary. The Roosevelt Corollary
allowed the US to interfere with other countries affairs when it deemed necessary. The
building of the Panama Canal couldnt have been done without the Roosevelt
Corollary because the US had to intervene with other countries before being able to
build the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal helped to greatly reduce the amount of
time it took to trade goods and benefitted the US economy.

62.
63. The Great Migration was the mass movement of African Americans to northern states.
Many had moved because of the jobs availability and because they wouldnt face as
much discrimination. The Espionage Act was an act the government put into effect
during World War One. It stated that anyone who engaged in disloyal activities could
be fined up to one thousand dollars or get up to twenty years in prison. The Red Scare
was the rise in fear that communists were plotting a revolution in the U.S. The Red
Scare lead to the US being wary of immigrants and some restrictions were put up. The
Palmer Raids can be taken as an example of the distrust of foreigners. The Palmer
Raids refers to the raids carried out in the homes of suspected radicals who were later
arrested, in most cases for no crime other than the fact that theyd not been born in the
U.S.

passage of the Social Security Act as a part of the second New Deal. Identify the
political challenges to Roosevelts domestic and international leadership; include the
role of Huey Long, the court packing bill, and the Neutrality Act.
90. The Wagner Act allowed workers to began or join labor unions to bargain collectively
with employers. It also established a National Labor Relations Board to ensure
enforcement of its provisions. During the rise of industrial unionism many labor
unions were put together to ensure the rights of the workers. The Social Security Act
ensured that elders and the unemployed would be benefited. The court-packing bill
was Roosevelts idea to add more justices to the US Supreme Court. By doing so he
could get more votes in his favor on New Deal rulings. The Neutrality Act of 1939 was
an amended version of the original Neutrality Act passed by congress through the
pressure Roosevelt put on them to have it amended. It allowed England and France to
buy arms from the U.S so long as they were paid up front. The Neutrality Act of
1939 was the first military assistance the U.S gave the Allied countries.

125. Henry Ford was the creator of the Model T, one of the best selling cars in the
1900s. He also came up with the assembly line, which lead to mass production. He
made cars affordable for the common people and doubled the wages of his workers.
Ford was the first one to give his employees Saturday and Sunday off and reduced
their number of work hours. Radios in America made a new kind of mass music and
allowed the general people to hear their Presidents voice, which was a first. Roosevelt
liked to have what were called Fireside Chats with the public. The Radio allowed for
politics and election results to be heard by everyone. The overproduction and under
consumption of products were some of the leading factors in the Great Depression.
The Tennessee Valley Authority Helped to spread electricity to the south. The TVA

along with ragtime. The increase in sales of radios was in part, credited towards him.
The song he wrote gave Tin Pan Alley its crowning achievement. The Tin Pan Alley
was an alley on East Fourteenth Street near Third in New York and later became
known as the birthplace for American Popular Music. It brought together many styles
of music. The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement that took place in Harlem
in the 1920s. Many black painters, writer, poets, sculptors, and playwrights began to
create there own works imitating there own culture. Eleanor Roosevelt became the
First lady in 1933. She was the first, First Lady to hold a press conference and traveled
extensively around the country and always reported her findings to the President.

considered the day of infamy. The internment of people refers to the confinement of
people without trial and was done to the Germans, Italians and Japanese. The Battle of
Mid-way occurred when the Japanese planned to attack US ships and the US
intercepted their codes leading to the US winning the Battle. D-Day is also referred to
as Operation Overlord and is when the US and the British pushed the Germans out of
France. The lend lease program allowed the U.S to lend arms to any country thats
defense was vital to its security which thus allowed the U.S to lend arms to the
countries during the war. While the men fought during the war women took over jobs

100. Los Alamos was the sight of the first atomic bomb testing in the United States. The
making of the bomb was kept secret and went by the codename Project Manhattan. In
order for a bomb to be developed in the U.S they make sure they were capable of not
letting it get in the wrong hands, so very select people knew it was being created. All
scientist and those involved were forced to keep any news regarding the project to
themselves. The U.S containment policy was made to prevent communism from
spreading in America. Many feared the spread of communism in the U.S. While the
troops were fighting overseas it was difficult to send supplies because of how far they
were. The Korean War took place from 1950 to 1953. This war took place with
American and U.N forces trying and stop the Communist aggression against South
Korea

States gave around thirteen million dollars to Europe to help rebuild its economy after
WWII. The goals of the Marshall Plan were too rebuild the devastated regions, remove
trade barriers, make Europe prosperous again and prevent the spread of communism.
The Truman Doctrine was an American foreign policy to stop Soviets Imperialism
during the Cold War and offered support to nations threatened by the Soviets. The
Truman Doctrine led to the formation of NATO, which is still in effect today. The new
communist regime in China helped the rise of senator Joseph McCarthy, McCarthy
fueled the fear that communism was spreading in the U.S. McCarthys role in this
became what was later known as McCarthyism. Communism occurring in China
showed that it was indeed spreading. The Korean War was fought to try and stop

171. The Bay of Pigs was the plan to overthrow Castro, the CIA had come up with the
plan and Kennedy was pressured to go along with it. The plan failed. Shortly after the
Bay of Pigs large missiles pointed towards the U.S were discovered in Cuba. Kennedy
demands the removal of the missiles and there is a naval quarantine on Cuba. The U.S
also retaliates by aiming missiles in Turkey towards Russia and soon afterwards
Russia agrees to remove the missiles so long as the U.S removes theres. The war
against Vietnam lasted for a long time and resulted in many useless deaths. The TET
offence was when the Vietnamese had surprised the U.S with attacks when theyd least
be expecting them, on a Vietnamese holiday. This offence made Americans lose the
idea the war would be over soon. America was divided on Vietnam and the war and
soon Nixon promised peace with honor and an end to the war.

27.
28. The baby boom was a large increase in birthrates beginning in 1945 that lasted
until 1962. The new and larger families created by this fueled the move to
suburbia. The creation of Levittowns then soon began. They were considered
the first suburban neighborhood. Levittowns were perfect for the post war
family that wanted to escape urban life. Soon Levittowns became a symbol of
post World War Two flight to suburbia taken by millions. It was during this
century that TVs were invented. Due to the TV many families often had
similar appliances and clothes because of the advertisements seen on TV. The
TV also affected politics like it had during the first televised debates between
Kennedy and Nixon. The televised debates caused more people to vote in favor
of Kennedy leading him to win the presidential election of 1960. Some had
considered Nixon to be too tied to the past, in which he served under
Eisenhower.

Jackie Robinson was a baseball player famous for being the first black to play
on a major league and for his skill at the game. His allowance onto a major
league team showed one of the ways African Americans were slowly being
accepted regardless of race. Martin Luther King Letter from Birmingham was a
letter MLK sent while inside a prison in Birmingham. This letter showed
people the importance of patience especially while in a difficult position. His I
Have A Dream speech showed people the slow rate at which blacks were
gaining rights and what the lack of rights resulted in. The National

111. President Nixon managed to create a better relationship with China and
even the Soviet Union. He managed to talk about trade between the two
nations on his trip to China. He helped support Chinas admission into the
United Nation. Nixons foreign policy success made him quiet popular among
the people, which lead him to win against George McGovern. Despite his
popularity among the people Nixon made some bad mistakes leading up to the
Watergate scandal. The Watergate Scandal was a large political scandal that
leads to the resignation of Nixon. Gerald Ford becomes the next president of
the United States. Ford was well liked and was said t come to presidency under
the worst of circumstance. Ford pardoned Nixon in 1974 and its said that since

plan for any goals he wished to accomplish.

30. The 2000 Presidential Election took place between George W. Bush and Al Gore,
Clintons vice president. Any excitement for either candidate was relatively low. Al
Gore often appeared very stoical and his speeches never held much emotion. Bush
also had his faults in that in earlier interviews of him he seemed to know little of
the critical issues one would expect political candidates to know. Bush winning the
election may seem strange seeing as Al Gore received more votes but a recount
was begun and then stopped, and Floridas Legislature voted giving Bush exactly
one more vote than needed. While the presidential election received a lot of
attention so did other issues during this time period. The Supreme Court decision
in Roe vs. Wade made abortion legal. It was a very controversial issue and is still
receives mixes opinion.

that the U.S would prevail and that bin Laden would be brought to justice. The U.S
soon began a military assault on Afghanistan in November of 2001. It was believed

Homeland Security which would try to organize all of Americas other intelligence
gathering organizations.
