The document discusses the settlement of the American West following the Civil War. It summarizes that the growth of railroads accelerated western migration, carrying settlers who were mostly ranchers, farmers, and miners. Key figures in railroad expansion included Leland Stanford and Cornelius Vanderbilt. The Transcontinental Railroad, completed in 1869, connected the eastern and western United States and further improved travel westward. The Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged settlement of the Great Plains by offering free land. Four factors drew settlers to the central plains: the Homestead Act, fertile land, the steel plow, and flat terrain. However, this displaced Native Americans, leading to conflicts and wars as settlers took over indigenous lands.Slavery and abolition

The Progressive Movement occurred between 1890-1920 in response to social, economic, political, and environmental problems caused by the rapid industrialization of American cities. Progressives aimed to address issues like poverty, poor working conditions, and the unchecked power of large corporations. They worked to raise awareness of these issues and achieve reforms through journalists, activists, politicians and others.

During the Gilded Age in the late 1800s, the United States government pursued policies of laissez-faire capitalism and low regulation of businesses. This allowed large industries to grow rapidly and inventors like Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell to develop new technologies like the light bulb and telephone. Industrialists like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller amassed great fortunes in steel and oil, though some viewed them as "robber barons". The period saw both rapid economic growth as well as inequality, as many workers struggled and some philosophers cited "social Darwinism" to justify the success of the wealthy.Slavery And Abolition Power Point

Slavery began in America in 1619 and spread throughout the colonies, where African slaves helped build the nation's economic foundations. By the 18th century, millions of slaves had been imported from Africa. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 cemented the importance of slavery to the Southern economy. Most slaves lived on plantations and were subject to oppressive laws that prohibited education and tightly controlled their lives. The abolitionist movement gained strength in the 1830s-1860s, led by activists like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Beecher Stowe. The American Civil War erupted over slavery and states' rights, ultimately leading to emancipation through Lincoln's 1863 proclamation and the 13th Amendment in 1865.

The slave trade was banned in 1808, but the enslaved black population still grew to 4 million by 1860 through reproduction. By then, there were around 250,000 freed blacks mostly in the upper South. Freed blacks faced restrictions on where they could work and live. Abolitionists like Theodore Dwight Weld, William Lloyd Garrison, and David Walker published works condemning slavery and calling for emancipation, while the American Colonization Society unsuccessfully tried to transport blacks to Africa.
