The document outlines key events leading up to the American Revolution from 1765 to 1773, including the passage of the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, the Stamp Act Congress, the Boston Massacre, and the Boston Tea Party. Samuel Adams began protesting the Stamp Act in 1765. The Townshend Act was repealed in 1767 and British warships arrived in Boston Harbor in 1768. The Boston Massacre occurred in 1770 when British soldiers fired into a crowd, killing five colonists. Committees of Correspondence wrote about the Tea Act in 1773 and the Boston Tea Party took place that same year when colonists dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor.Time Line Project by Annie Tribone

The document summarizes information about Sim坦n Bol鱈var's home in Santa Marta, Colombia, known as La Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. It describes how the house was built in 1800 and became Bol鱈var's home from 1820 until his death in 1830. While living there, Bol鱈var worked with advisers and friends to draft messages and proposals. The house hosted parties to celebrate military victories and attract interest in the new republic. It now operates as a museum containing documents, weapons, and other items that belonged to Bol鱈var.Karina

Horse racing originated in Central Asia over 4,500 years ago when nomadic tribes first domesticated horses. It died out in early America but was revived in the 1920s as track operators lobbied legislators, arguing it could generate substantial profits for states. A key figure was Colonel Matt J. Winn, who ended an anti-gambling movement in Kentucky, paving the way for states like Kentucky and Maryland to legalize horse racing and gambling in 1906 and 1920 respectively. More states followed suit during the Depression to gain revenue, such as California receiving $3 million.R2r3

The Proclamation of 1763 prohibited colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains in an attempt to placate Native American groups after the French and Indian War. This angered the colonists. Subsequent acts like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts imposed new taxes on the colonies to repay war debts without colonial consent, fueling further discontent. In response, colonists organized boycotts and protests like the Boston Tea Party. In 1774, the Intolerable Acts closed Boston harbor and imposed martial law, leading the colonies to work together through the First Continental Congress to petition the king for relief from these measures. This growing unrest culminated in the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775Southern Colonies

The Southern Colonies developed as the demand for workers grew to clear land, construct homes and buildings, plant crops, and tend fields. Indentured servants and prisoners were shipped to the colonies to help fill this demand and earn their freedom. Maryland was founded by Cecilius Calvert to establish a safe place for Catholics. It was named for the English Queen and tobacco became a major crop, though farmers were also required to grow corn and raise livestock. Baltimore later became Maryland's largest city and port.Colonial communication

油
Colonial communication methods included newspapers that became popular in the mid-1700s, with the first successful one being the Boston News-Letter. Benjamin Franklin was both a postmaster and newspaper printer who later became joint Postmaster General. Inns served as places to stay as well as early post offices and clubs. Town criers would share news by ringing bells or drums, while watchmen served the same role at night. Broadsides provided information and were posted on buildings before newspapers became more prevalent in 1704.Prominent Orange County, New York Estates will Cross The Block at EstateOfMin...

This document summarizes key groups and events related to the settlement of the American West between 1850-1900. It describes the miners who migrated west during the gold rush and discusses the expansion of the railroad. Native Americans faced declining buffalo populations, conflicts with settlers over land, and forced relocation to reservations. Cowboys worked on ranches during the rise of the cattle industry. Pioneer farmers settled the plains with support from homestead acts but faced challenges of the environment. The document outlines tensions between competing groups and the establishment of policies that shaped the development of the Western frontier.Scotland and-england

The document discusses relations between England and Scotland in the early 16th century. Scotland's economy and society were weaker and more lawless than England's at the time. A peace treaty was signed with Henry VII, but the Battle of Flodden in 1513 increased disagreements between Scottish nobles. Later, Henry VIII sent his army to Scotland to make them accept his authority, and a marriage agreement was proposed in 1543 but rejected by the Scottish parliament, leading to punishment by English soldiers.1 historical background

George III became King of Great Britain in 1760 during the Seven Years' War and saw the loss of the American colonies in the War of Independence. He took the throne at age 22 but had limited abilities and was poorly suited for the demands of being king, believed to suffer from a hereditary disease causing long periods of insanity. A series of acts passed by the British parliament imposed heavy taxes on the American colonies and sought to gain more control over them, fueling growing tensions that led to the American Revolution and independence.Founding fathers

1) Paul Revere was a silversmith and patriot in Boston known for his midnight ride warning of the approaching British Army before the battles of Lexington and Concord.
2) As tensions rose between the colonies and Britain in the 1770s, Revere joined organizations like the Sons of Liberty and served on committees in Boston to oppose new British taxes.
3) When British General Thomas Gage began seizing arms from nearby towns in 1774, Revere helped warn the communities and move the supplies before the British arrived.Slavery

The document discusses the triangular slave trade that occurred between Europe, Africa, and the Americas in the 18th century. It describes how Great Britain financially benefited from transporting slaves from Africa to work on plantations in the Americas, and how the goods produced on those plantations were then sold in Europe. It also explains how some religious groups and activists like Thomas Clarkson began advocating against the slave trade in the late 1700s, establishing the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade in 1787 to lobby the British government. Their efforts eventually led to the British government banning the slave trade in 1807.Unit 6.2 the peasants revolt

The Peasants Revolt of 1381 was a major uprising across England sparked by a poll tax and social tensions following the Black Death. The Black Death had killed millions and caused a labor shortage, which led to demands for higher wages from peasants. When the poll tax was imposed, Wat Tyler emerged to lead thousands of peasants in marching on London, where they destroyed the Savoy Palace and killed the Archbishop of Canterbury. King Richard II agreed to meet with Tyler but Tyler was killed in the negotiations, after which the king hanged 200 rebel leaders to put down the revolt.Declaration of independence

The Ku Klux Klan was formed in 1866 in Pulaski, Tennessee as a secret organization that aimed to prevent Black people from voting and gaining equal rights after the Civil War. The KKK used tactics like violence and intimidation against newly freed slaves and Republicans. At its peak in the 1920s, the KKK had millions of members and targeted other groups like Jews, Catholics and immigrants in addition to Black people and Republicans. Over time federal laws were passed to curb the KKK's activities and many members were prosecuted for crimes, though offshoots still exist today espousing white supremacist ideals.Presentation1

The document outlines the timeline of key events in the Chinese Exclusion Act from 1848 to 1943. It began with many Chinese immigrants going to California during the Gold Rush in 1848. Chinese laborers were then hired to build the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860s, but were left unemployed once completed in 1869. Anti-Chinese sentiment grew, culminating in the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act that banned Chinese immigration for 10 years, and was further extended by subsequent acts into the early 20th century. Some immigration restrictions for Asians were lifted in 1943.Presentation2

The document discusses reasons for the Peasants' Revolt in 1381 in England. Long-term causes included peasants being bound as villeins and having to work for free on church land. Short-term triggers included the poll tax of 1381, which angered peasants as it taxed them the same as the rich. The final straw was tax collectors mistreating villagers who refused to pay. The document tasks the student with writing a report to King Richard II explaining why the peasants revolted, citing both long-term and short-term reasons in order of importance.Events Leading To The American Revolutionary War

The history of baseball began in 1846 with the first recorded baseball game between the New York Nine and New York Knickerbockers. Baseball turned professional in the late 1800s with the creation of leagues and rules standardization. Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947 when he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers, integrating African Americans into the MLB. The late 1900s and 2000s saw changes to the game through the introduction of the designated hitter, expansion to the West Coast, and controversy around the use of performance enhancing drugs.Old Timers Games final 2016

This document summarizes the evolution of Old Timers' Games in baseball from the 19th century to 1947. It discusses how the earliest games in the 1860s-1880s served to raise funds for individual players or causes, but later were used by clubs and the Hall of Fame to promote the sport and sell tickets. While few in number initially, Old Timers' Games became a way to celebrate baseball history and bring communities together in a "secular baseball communion." The document examines some of the earliest purported Old Timers' Games and provides context about the infrequent nature of such exhibitions compared to regular season games in the same time period.Negro baseball league 3 final presentation

Evan's agenda includes subjects like math, social studies, science, reading, and writing. It also includes an interest project on the Negro Baseball League. Some of the key points about the Negro Baseball League include:
- It was formed in the 1800s after black players were excluded from the major leagues due to racism.
- Teams included the Homestead Grays, Kansas City Monarchs, and Indianapolis Clowns.
- Great players from the Negro Leagues like Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and Willie Mays were eventually able to join the major leagues after Jackie Robinson was signed to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1945. This signing led to the end of the Negro Baseball League as players and fans switchedNegro Baseball League2

1) The Negro Baseball Leagues were formed in the late 1800s after black baseball players were excluded from the major and minor baseball leagues.
2) Throughout the early 1900s, black baseball players faced significant discrimination and were not allowed to play in the major leagues. They formed their own successful Negro Leagues that drew large crowds.
3) After World War II, baseball commissioner Happy Chandler said black players should be allowed to play if they could serve in the war. This opened the door for Jackie Robinson to sign with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, integrating major league baseball.The Negro Leagues Breaking the Barriers

1) The document discusses the history of the Negro Leagues, which were established in the 1920s to provide African American baseball players an opportunity to play professionally after being barred from the major leagues due to racism.
2) It divides the history of the Negro Leagues into four eras: the Foundation of the Game in the 1920s when early teams formed in cities; the Downfall in the 1930s during the Great Depression when economic hardship led many teams to fold; the Restoration in 1933 when Gus Greenlee's investment helped revive the leagues; and the Transition period in the 1940s-1960s as the leagues declined with the integration of baseball.

In 19th century America, leisure activities varied between social classes. The upper class enjoyed hunting, gardening, and dancing as pastimes, while the working class participated in activities like fishing, cycling, and country dances. As the century progressed, new technologies like the phonograph and innovations in printing introduced Americans to theater, music, and parlor games. Sports also grew in popularity among both the elite and lower classes, including boxing, baseball, golf, and skating.Modisett ball park

The 1920s saw social and cultural changes in the United States. Fitzgerald described the new generation as fearing poverty and worshipping success in the aftermath of World War I. A 1922 article criticized changing moral standards, like immodesty in women's fashion. A Russian newspaper criticized overcrowding and lack of order in New York City. Famous writers of the time like Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Eliot, and Sandberg wrote about post-war society and disillusionment. Sports also grew in popularity during this era as Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in 1927 and Lou Gehrig started his consecutive games streak. The technologies of film, radio, jazz music emerged as new forms of popular entertainment in this transformativeThe Baseball Magnates and Urban PoliticsIn The Progressive E.docx

The Baseball Magnates and Urban Politics
In The Progressive Era: 1895 - 1920
Steven A. Riess
In the Progressive Era, club owners and sympathetic journalists
created a self-serving ideology for baseball. They encouraged the
public to believe that the game was one of the foremost indigenous
American institutions and that it epitomized the finest qualities of a
bygone rural age. Many sportswriters persuaded fans to regard the
baseball magnates as benevolent, civic-minded individuals, dedicated
to providing their fellow townsfolk with exciting and clean enter-
tainment.1 Professional baseball however was not really dominated
by such men, but by individuals with extremely close ties to urban
political leaders who were usually members of local political
machines. Ironically the national pastime which was said to exemplify
the best characteristics of American society was operated by men who
typified some of its worst aspects. In the period from 1901 to 1920,
seventeen of the eighteen American and National League baseball
teams were run by people with significant political connections. These
club owners included political bosses, friends and relatives of men in
what we could call high political places, and political allies like
traction magnates and professional gamblers. In boss-riddled
Cincinnati during the early 1900s for instance, the Cincinnati Reds
baseball team was owned by a syndicate which at one time included
the citys Republican boss, George B. Cox, his lieutenant, Water
Works Commissioner August Herrmann, and the towns mayor,
Julius Fleischmann. The Baltimore Orioles were run by such men as
John Mahon, the leading Democrat in Maryland, Sidney Frank,
brother of a prominent city councilman, and Judge Harry Goldman.
And the Philadelphia Phillies owners included several traction
magnates, state senators, and a former New York City police
commissioner.2
The close alliance between professional baseball teams and urban
politicians was not unique to cities of any particular size or

This thesis examines how two Rochester, New York newspapers - the Democrat and Chronicle and Times-Union - covered baseball games between the local Red Wings and the Havana Sugar Kings from 1954-1960, as well as the concurrent Cuban Revolution. During this period, the Sugar Kings played in the International League, along with teams from the US and Canada. The thesis analyzes how the shared interest in baseball impacted American media coverage of revolutionary events in Cuba. It explores how beat writers traveling to Havana to cover games also reported on the revolution unfolding under Fidel Castro's leadership. The Sugar Kings departed Cuba for New Jersey in 1960 amid rising tensions, but for years baseball served as a cultural bridge between the two nations.Alexander Cartwright

Alexander Cartwright is recognized as the founding father of modern baseball. In 1845, he formed the first organized baseball team, the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York. Cartwright established many of the fundamental rules of baseball still used today, including runners being out by tag rather than being hit by the ball. He helped popularize the sport by sharing it with travelers as he moved westward and in Hawaii, where he spent his later years as the city's first fire chief. Cartwright is credited with establishing the diamond-shaped field layout and standardizing the distance between bases.Undergraduate Thesis

This document provides context about baseball in the United States during World War II. It discusses how Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis wanted to keep baseball going to boost morale on the home front. When the U.S. entered the war in 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Landis received approval from President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a "Green Light Letter" to continue the baseball season while still allowing players to serve if drafted. Major league owners supported continuing baseball and teams began donating proceeds from games to war charities to support the war effort.Research paper senior project

The document provides a history of the development of basketball from its origins to modern day. It discusses how Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891 at a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts. The first official basketball game was played in 1892 with 13 simple rules. The game grew in popularity and various leagues were formed throughout the early 20th century, including the NBA which was established in 1949 through a merger between the BAA and NBL leagues. The NBA made changes to the rules like the 24-second shot clock to increase the pace of professional basketball.Doubleday v. Cartwright

This document discusses the contributions of Abner Doubleday and Alexander Cartwright to the origins and development of baseball. While Doubleday was long believed to be the creator of baseball, recent research shows that Cartwright was likely the true "Father of Baseball." Cartwright established the first set of organized baseball rules and founded the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club in 1845. The document concludes that Cartwright had the most significant impact on transforming baseball into the popular sport it is today.Nevadas Newspaper History

Editor's Notes
- #4: The popularity of the sport inspired the semi and fully professional baseball clubs in the 1860sWhite Sox werethe most successful franchise in baseball, Chicago baseball players were not paid especially well like other elite players on big-city clubs. The White Sox were owned and operated by a tight-fisted tyrant named Charles Comiskey, all of the players resented him because they couldnt even support their families financially and were powerless due baseballs reverse clause. Players became easy targets for gamblers looking to have games thrown in order to win bets. 8 of the White Sox players (Shoeless Joe Jackson) were paid $7500-30000 to throw games and they threw the 1919 World Series. The players were indicted and tried for conspiracy.
- #5: to entertain the largely male-majority dam construction workers. Called Boulder Dam later named Hoover DamFirst gambling license given in 1931 to Northern Clubby 1954, over 8 million people were visiting Las Vegas yearly pumping 200 million dollars into casinos. Gambling was no longer the only attraction; the biggest stars of films and music like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Abbott and Costello, Bing Crosby, Carol Channing, and others performed in intimate settingsThe population of the city doubled every decade since 70s
- #6: Former MLB player turned oilfield millionaire He didnt want to create a new team so he found a team that he wanted to buy and relocate the Milwaukee BravesHudsons Folly was completed in 1962When the Vegas bookmakers offered odds against the Dusters -- as they often did in the early days -- Hudson turned it against them, saying that the "guys on the Strip don't want us to succeed because the Nevada Dusters stand for good, wholesome entertainment."
