War of 1812
War of 1812Blake Harris
Ìý
The War of 1812 was sparked by British interference with American trade and impressment of American sailors. It led to increased anti-British sentiment in the early 1800s. The US faced many challenges as its army was small and unprepared. While the US navy saw some successes, the British launched attacks on Washington DC and Baltimore. A key turning point was the American victory at Plattsburgh that convinced the British the war was no longer worthwhile. The war ended in 1814 with the Treaty of Ghent, though the Battle of New Orleans solidified American nationalism after the war.Extension Activity- First Great Awakening
Extension Activity- First Great AwakeningBlake Harris

This document summarizes excerpts from treatises written by Rev. Jonathan Edwards and Rev. Charles Chauncy regarding the Great Awakening revival movement of the 1740s. Edwards, a "New Light," praised the emotional preaching style of revivalists like George Whitefield and their ability to touch people's hearts. He argued preaching should appeal to both reason and emotion. Chauncy, an "Old Light," criticized itinerant preaching and saw revivalism as detrimental theater that undermined clergy authority and church order. The document provides context for differing views on an influential religious movement in colonial America.Settling western lands 8.29

The Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 were significant because they established systems for surveying and selling western lands, and governing the Northwest Territory. The Land Ordinance divided land into organized townships that could be easily purchased. The Northwest Ordinance established a process for new territories to gain statehood, and guaranteed basic rights for settlers while banning slavery in the Northwest Territory. These ordinances helped the new nation organize settlement of the West and set principles of self-government.French and Indian War guided notes

The war turned in Britain's favor after William Pitt became Secretary of War and generals like Wolfe captured key sites such as Quebec. The 1763 Treaty of Paris ended the war, ceding French North American territories to Britain.Influences on American Government notes

The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Civil War, including debates over slavery in new territories gained from Mexico, the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Dred Scott decision, and the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Tensions increased as the North and South disagreed over the expansion of slavery. The Missouri Compromise was replaced by popular sovereignty under the Kansas-Nebraska Act, fueling conflict in Kansas between pro- and anti-slavery settlers. The Supreme Court's ruling in Dred Scott denied citizenship to African Americans and found that Congress could not regulate slavery. Lincoln and Douglas debated these issues during their 1858 Senate campaign, further dividing the nation along sectional lines.The pre civil war south ppt

The South's economy was based almost entirely on agriculture, especially cotton, grown with slave labor. The Deep South states relied heavily on cotton, rice and sugarcane plantations. Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin in 1793 boosted cotton production and the demand for slaves. Most Southern whites were small farmers while a minority owned large plantations with many slaves. The rural poor lived in poverty. African Americans preserved elements of their culture while also experiencing oppression through slave codes. Nat Turner's rebellion in 1831 was an example of slave resistance, though violent revolts were rare. Southern cities developed along waterways and railroads.The pre civil war south guided notes

The document summarizes life in the pre-Civil War South. It discusses the expansion of cotton plantation agriculture throughout the Deep South, fueled by the growth of slavery and the invention of the cotton gin. This led to a booming domestic slave trade and an economy dependent on cotton exports. The majority of whites owned small farms, while a minority of large plantation owners controlled much of the wealth and politics through slave ownership. Enslaved African Americans faced brutal conditions under slave codes but maintained their own family structures, religions, and cultural traditions in the face of oppression.The spirit of reform notes

The Age of JacksonBlake Harris
Ìý
Andrew Jackson's presidency influenced the spread of American democracy in several ways:
1) Jackson expanded voting rights and portrayed himself as a champion of the common man, though voting was still limited to white men.
2) He implemented the "spoils system" of replacing government workers with his political supporters.
3) Jackson aggressively pursued the forced removal of Native American tribes, most notoriously the Cherokee Trail of Tears, to open more land for white settlement.The Age of Jackson Guided Notes

Immigration and the rise of citiesBlake Harris

The document discusses immigration and the rise of cities in the United States during the 19th century. It describes how midwestern cities grew along rivers and canals, with cities like Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Louisville becoming important centers of industry and trade. Many Irish immigrants came to the U.S. due to the potato famine, and were often forced to remain in the cities where they first arrived. German immigrants primarily came for economic and religious freedom, and settled throughout the Midwest where they had an easier time relocating. Nativist sentiment led some Protestants to mistreat Catholic immigrants and the anti-immigrant Know Nothing party was established with goals including reducing immigration. Nativism resulted in riots in many cities, including PhiladelphiaImmigration and the rise of cities 8.47
Immigration and the rise of cities 8.47Blake Harris
Ìý
The document discusses factors that led to increased immigration to America in the 19th century. Mass potato crop failures in Ireland caused a famine that killed 750,000 people and led 2 million Irish to immigrate to the US, settling mostly in northeast cities due to poverty. Between 1845-1855, economic hardship and unrest caused nearly 1 million Germans to immigrate, many able to settle in midwest farmland. However, immigrants faced hostility from nativist groups who believed Americans' needs should come first and that immigrants were threats politically and to American culture. Nativists formed groups like the Know Nothing Party and in some cities, anti-Catholic riots broke out against Irish and German immigrants.Recently uploaded (20)

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.How to Configure Deliver Content by Email in Odoo 18 Sales

Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.AI and Academic Writing, Short Term Course in Academic Writing and Publicatio...
