Brief presentation about the coming of the Civil War from 1856 - 1860. Including Lincoln-Douglas Debates, Dred Scott, Harpers Ferry, and the Election of 1860.Thirteen Day Siege of the Alamo
Thirteen Day Siege of the AlamoAlexander Elementary
油
The 13-day siege of the Alamo began on February 23, 1836 when Santa Anna's army arrived in San Antonio and initiated bombardment of the fort. Over the next 12 days, the outnumbered Texian garrison endured constant bombardment as more Mexican troops arrived. Despite calls for help, no relief arrived. On the final day, March 6th, Santa Anna launched multiple assaults starting at dawn, ultimately overrunning the fort by 6:30 AM. All Texian defenders, including William Travis, James Bowie, and Davy Crockett, were killed in the final battle, marking a major defeat for Texian forces in the Texas Revolution.The Articles Of Confederation
The Articles Of ConfederationBryan Toth

The document discusses the Articles of Confederation and the problems that arose under that first form of government for the United States. It describes the limited powers granted to the national government and the states' dominance over certain matters. Key issues that weakened the Articles included the inability to tax, lack of control over economic matters, and foreign relations problems due to the nation's lack of unity. The Northwest Ordinance established a process for admitting new states and was one of the Articles' greatest achievements.Texas Revolution

The document summarizes key events leading up to the Texas Revolution, including the Fredonian Rebellion, Mexico's Law of April 6, 1830 which banned immigration from the U.S. and outlawed slavery, and the arrest of Stephen F. Austin. It then discusses important battles like the Battle of Gonzales, the Alamo, Goliad Massacre, and the Battle of San Jacinto. Finally, it covers the establishment of Texas independence through the Convention of 1836 and the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence.Texas independence

The document summarizes Texas independence and annexation by the United States. It describes how American settlers began migrating to Mexican land in the southwest US in 1821. By 1830 there were 7,000 Americans in Texas, alarming Mexico which tried to restrict further immigration. This led to American-Texan revolts and the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, after which Texas declared independence as the Republic of Texas. Texas was annexed by the United States in 1845, angering Mexico.Emancipation Proclamation

The document summarizes Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863. It notes that Lincoln initially did not believe he had the power as President to abolish slavery but issued the proclamation after the Battle of Antietam to weaken the Confederacy by freeing slaves in rebel states. The proclamation freed slaves only in states that had seceded from the Union but did not apply to border states. It allowed African Americans to serve in the Union army and marked a shift in the war's focus to ending slavery, though it had limitations in scope and enforcement.Hogan's History- Manifest Destiny

The document summarizes key events during Andrew Jackson's presidency and the rise of Jacksonian democracy. It describes how Jackson appealed to common workers and farmers in his campaigns. His supporters saw him as representing the interests of average citizens over the wealthy elite. As president, Jackson fired many government officials and replaced them with political allies, establishing the spoils system. He also signed the Indian Removal Act, leading to the forced relocation of Native Americans and the tragic Trail of Tears. Sectional divisions between North and South grew over tariffs and states' rights during Jackson's two terms.The alamo pp

The document summarizes the Texas Revolution from 1835 to 1836, including key battles and figures. It describes the 13 day siege of the Alamo by Santa Anna's army of 2400 Mexican troops against 260 Texian defenders led by Davey Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William Travis. Despite sending multiple calls for reinforcements, the Texians were ultimately overrun and killed, with only small losses for the Mexican army. Their defeat became a rallying cry for the Texian army, who later defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto.Mexican american war-causes (1)

The United States annexed Texas in 1845, which Mexico still claimed as its territory. This caused a border dispute between the Rio Grande and Nueces Rivers. Tensions escalated after U.S. troops occupied the Rio Grande, which Mexico saw as an invasion. In 1846, shots were fired between U.S. and Mexican soldiers, prompting President Polk to ask Congress to declare war on Mexico.The Jackson Era

The political system changed under President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) as he expanded democracy. Jackson opposed the national bank and vetoed its recharter, believing it helped elites. He also increased direct election of government officials and gave jobs to his supporters, establishing the spoils system. However, these changes increased sectional tensions between North and South over states' rights and the tariff that threatened the Union.The Oregon Trail

The Oregon Trail began in 1834 when missionaries traveled west to the Oregon territory, starting a route that would be used by many settlers in subsequent years. The journey along the 2,000 mile trail from St. Louis, Missouri to the Willamette Valley in Oregon took 4-6 months, with travelers facing many hardships along the way. The trail provided a path to a new life for settlers braving the long journey in covered wagons pulled by oxen.The presidency of john adams

The XYZ Affair involved failed negotiations between the U.S. and France, where French diplomats demanded a bribe and loan before negotiating. This angered the American public against France. In response, President Adams avoided war but increased military spending. He also signed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts, allowing deportation of immigrants and imprisonment of government critics. Republicans like Jefferson and Madison opposed these laws as unconstitutional, laying the foundation for states' rights debates.Colonial america

The document discusses the colonial economy under the mercantile system where Britain created colonies as a source of raw materials and market for finished goods. It allowed the colonies to rule themselves through salutary neglect. The Mayflower Compact established self-government for the pilgrims and the House of Burgesses was the first representative government established in Virginia in 1619. People came to the colonies for religious freedom, economic opportunity, and to escape political persecution in Europe.Manifest Destiny

Manifest Destiny described the belief that American settlers were destined to expand across North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. This belief helped drive U.S. territorial expansion in the 1840s-1850s through the annexation of Texas, Oregon Treaty, and Mexican-American War. The acquisition of new lands intensified debates over the expansion of slavery and reshaped the political landscape around the issue of states' rights in the new western territories.Martin Van Buren (1782-1862)

Martin Van Buren had a long political career, serving as governor of New York, secretary of state, vice president, and president from 1837-1841. As president, he took office during a financial crisis known as the Panic of 1837. He established an independent treasury system and avoided war with Canada over a border dispute. Van Buren opposed the admission of Texas to the Union as a slave state, which increased sectional tensions. Though he lost reelection in 1840, Van Buren remained active in Democratic politics later in his life.The alamo

The Alamo was originally built as a Spanish mission called San Antonio de Valero in 1744. It was later used as a military fortress and hospital before becoming the site of a famous 1836 battle during the Texas Revolution. On March 6th, Mexican forces led by Santa Anna launched a siege that ended after 13 days with the deaths of nearly all of the Alamo's 189-250 defenders. Though the Texans lost the battle, the phrase "Remember the Alamo" became a rallying cry fueling Texas independence. It is now a popular historic site visited by over 4 million people each year.Causes of the American Revolution

The document summarizes several acts passed by the British Parliament between 1763 and 1774 that taxed and restricted the American colonies, angering colonists and leading to increased unrest and organization of protests. It describes the Proclamation of 1763 that drew a boundary line to restrict westward expansion, the Sugar Act of 1764 that taxed imports without colonial representation. Further acts like the Stamp Act of 1765 and Townshend Acts of 1767 imposed additional taxes, while the Quartering Acts of 1765 required colonists to house British soldiers. Acts like the Intolerable Acts of 1774 punished the Boston Tea Party, increasing colonial unity in opposition to British policies.Texas revolution

The Texas Revolution began as tensions rose between American settlers in Texas and the Mexican government. There were around 30,000 settlers in Texas by 1830, most of whom had come from the United States. The Mexican government outlawed slavery and closed Texas to further American immigration, angering the Texan settlers. In 1836, after the iconic battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto, Texas declared independence from Mexico and became the Republic of Texas, with Sam Houston as its first president.The Early Republic

As the first President of the United States, George Washington faced many challenges in establishing the new government. He assembled the first Cabinet and helped create the federal court system. Alexander Hamilton proposed an ambitious economic plan that included paying off national debt, establishing the Bank of the United States, and implementing protective tariffs. Political divisions emerged in the 1790s with the formation of the Federalist Party led by Hamilton and the Democratic-Republican Party led by Thomas Jefferson, who disagreed on interpreting the Constitution and economic policies.Federalists vs. anti federalists

The document outlines the key differences between Federalists and Anti-Federalists during the debate over ratifying the US Constitution. Anti-Federalists opposed ratifying the Constitution as written and argued that the new national government would be too large and distant, could grow into a tyranny, and gave too much power to the central government and executive branch. Federalists supported ratifying the Constitution and countered that a central government with checks and balances could effectively govern the large nation and would not become a tyranny due to the separation of powers between branches of government.Causes of the civil war ppt

The Civil War was caused by several key factors that divided the North and South:
1. Sectionalism led to the country being divided along regional lines, with the North and South developing distinct economies and political interests.
2. The issue of slavery deeply divided the regions, as the South depended on it for its economy while the North opposed its expansion.
3. Other contributing causes included states' rights, as Southerners supported a state's autonomy over federal law, and tariffs, which Southerners felt unfairly taxed their exports.
4. Tensions came to a head after Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, which prompted Southern states to secede and form the Confederacy.Muckrakers

Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel The Jungle exposed unsanitary and dangerous conditions in Chicago meatpacking plants through detailed descriptions. Sinclair described meat being shoveled from dirty floors and piled on tables without washing, traveling between rooms in rotten carts and gathering dirt, splinters, and floor filth along the way. When concerns were raised about health risks, managers claimed the meat would later be cooked, eliminating dangers. A contemporary government report also found meat being shoveled into barrels from dirty floors and tables of cooked meat scraps mixed with inedible and contaminated items. Both accounts revealed the filthy and unsafe practices in early 20th century meat production.Antebellum reform

The document summarizes several antebellum reform movements that emerged from the Second Great Awakening in the United States, including abolition, women's rights, temperance, prison and asylum reform, and education reform. It traces the growth of these movements from their religious revivalist roots in the early 1800s to the social reforms they advocated for by mid-century. Key figures and organizations discussed include William Lloyd Garrison and the American Anti-Slavery Society, Dorothea Dix and her work on prison and asylum reform, and Emma Willard who established schools for women's education.Westward Expansion
Westward ExpansionJennifer Bermudez

Westward expansion occurred as thousands of pioneers moved west for opportunities like mining for gold during the California Gold Rush, free land offered by the Homestead Act, adventure, and escaping undesirable situations. Pioneers faced many dangers on their journeys in covered wagons like lack of resources, harsh weather, and conflicts with Native Americans and other settlers. Life was difficult for settlers on the prairie as they built homes in isolated areas with little protection or infrastructure. While the pioneer spirit drove many west, the expansion had negative impacts as well through displacement of Native Americans.Ethnic And Racial Groups In The Us

The document discusses racial and ethnic groups in the United States, including African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. It notes that minority groups have faced various forms of discrimination and difficulties gaining acceptance and equality in US society. While progress has been made since the civil rights movement, many minority groups still face socioeconomic disadvantages and underrepresentation compared to white Americans.Missouri Compromise

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 balanced the number of free and slave states by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. It also prohibited slavery in territories north of the 36属30' parallel, excluding Missouri. This compromise temporarily resolved the issue of the expansion of slavery but increased sectional tensions and ultimately failed to prevent the Civil War.John Brown

John Brown led a raid on a federal armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia in 1859 hoping to start a slave revolt. He was captured along with 21 men, including 5 black men, and was later hanged for his actions. The raid gained significant attention as it showed the divide between abolitionists in the North and pro-slavery advocates in the South. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act and Dred Scott decision inflamed tensions by renewing hopes of expanding slavery and ruling that blacks could not be citizens, pushing Brown and others to take action. His raid was seen as a catalyst for the eventual Civil War as it demonstrated the North was willing to use force and increased political tensions between free and slave states.The alamo

The Alamo was an abandoned Spanish mission in San Antonio, Texas that became the site of a famous battle for Texas independence in 1836. Around 180-200 Texan defenders led by William Travis and including Davy Crockett held off over 2,000 Mexican soldiers led by General Santa Anna for almost two weeks before being overrun and killed on March 6th. The battle cry of "Remember the Alamo!" helped motivate the Texan forces to later defeat Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, securing Texas' independence from Mexico.

Spain sought to strengthen its control over North America by promoting Catholicism and prohibiting American settlement in Texas. However, Americans increasingly outnumbered Mexicans in Texas in the early 1830s. In 1835, Americans ignored new Mexican laws banning slavery and further immigration. This led to the Texas War for Independence, culminating in the famous stand at the Alamo in 1836 where William Travis, Davy Crockett, James Bowie and others fought to the death against Santa Anna's forces. Texas eventually declared independence after Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, leading to Texas joining the United States as a state in 1845.Civil war road to secession

San Antonio was experiencing rapid population and economic growth in the decades before the Civil War. The city became the headquarters of the Trans-Mississippi Department of the U.S. Army in 1845. Forts were also built west of San Antonio to protect settlers. Immigration increased the population, especially from Germany. The city was home to a diverse mix of ethnicities including Americans, Germans, Mexicans, and others. San Antonio emerged as an important economic and military center in Texas during this period of expansion and development.History of los angeles

About Alamo
- 3. About Alamo The Alamo is one of the most visited historic sites in the United States. The Alamo is a the location of a key battle in the Texas Revolution against Mexico. The Alamo is now a museum, managed by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, and dedicated to the memory of the missionaries that lived and worked in the Alamo, and the men that died in the Battle of the Alamo.

- 5. History of Alamo Built in 1718, the Alamo is a 4.2-acre complex made up of the Shrine, the Long Barracks, house exhibits, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library (open to researchers only) The Alamo History: The Alamo mission, originally known as Mission San Antonio de Valero after Saint Antonio, has been designated as an official state shrine in honor of the Texans that died in the Battle of the Alamo. The Battle: The Battle of the Alamo (Feb 23 - Mar 6, 1836) is the most famous battle of the Texas revolutionaries war against Mexico. In this battle the Texan revolutionarys were outnumbered and cornered in the Alamo mission by the Mexican army led by President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Two attempts to siege the Alamo failed before the Texans were finally overtaken on the third attack. Alamo historians agree that between 182 and 257 Texans were killed in this battle and between 400 and 600 Mexicans were killed. Although the Texans lost the battle, it was remembered throughout the rest of the war and gave life to the cause of Texas Independence and was the reason for a phrase that is remembered still today,"Remember the Alamo!"
- 7. When was the Alamo built? The Alamo was built in the early 1700's simultaneously with the colonial village of Williamsburg, Va., the more commonly regarded symbol of our nation's beginnings. The Alamo was built as a chapel after 1744, it is all that remains of the mission of San Antonio de Valero, which was founded in 1718 by Franciscans and later converted into a fortress.
- 8. WHEN WAS ALAMO BUILT?
- 9. Style of Architecture and engravings of Alamo The spanish style that it most represents is called the mud辿jar and neo-mud辿jar styles. This in combo with indigeneous styles (due to the different types of material used for building -to accomodate the climate, building materials and functionality of the structure) made what we can witness in the facade of the Alamo and other like structures such as the mission of san carlos borromeo de carmelo in California. The wonder of the structure is that it reminds Texans of the state's Hispanic heritage. "When you go to the Alamo you can still feel what it was like to be a pioneer almost 300 years ago," Speck said. "It's not just a building. It's a lifestyle.

- 12. Inscriptions of Alamo The Alamo Shrine is an inscription that reminds visitors of the sacredness of what they are experiencing. The inscription reads, 'Be Silent Friend Here Heroes Died To Blaze a Trail For Other Men'. Inside the shrine is a list of the names of those who died in the battle.
- 13. Inscriptions of Alamo The Chapel also contains a bronze plaque with the inscription, 'In honor of those Alamo heroes whose names history did not record'. Carved into the limestone wall and through Spanish mission period plaster was the inscription 1802. The location of this inscription is above the main doorway and in the upper right hand corner of the window above the door.
