- Michigan was originally inhabited by Native American tribes like the Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi. The first European to arrive was French explorer tienne Brul辿 in 1618. Later French explorers, traders, and missionaries established fur trading posts across Michigan, including Fort Pontchartrain which was founded in 1701 by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac and became the settlement of Detroit. France lost control of Michigan and other territories to Britain after the French and Indian War in the 1760s.How Private Military Contractors shaped a History of The World.

1) Beginning in 1778, Western explorers and traders increasingly visited Hawaii, introducing new diseases, technology, and cultural influences.
2) King Kamehameha I was able to unite the Hawaiian islands in 1810 with the help of Western advisors. He modeled the new Hawaiian kingdom after Great Britain.
3) Missionaries arrived in 1820 and had significant influence, establishing schools and converting many Hawaiians to Christianity. They worked closely with Hawaiian royalty.
4) Western business interests grew powerful in the later 1800s, weakening the monarchy and native Hawaiian control of lands. This led to the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom in 1893 and annexation by the United States in 1898.Henry II

This document discusses the annexation of Hawaii by the United States in the late 19th century. It provides background on Hawaii initially being an independent sovereign nation and strategic location. It then describes how American business interests, with the support of the U.S. military, overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and established a provisional government. This eventually led to Hawaii being annexed as a U.S. territory in 1897 under President McKinley despite some opposition who saw it as an illegal overthrow and annexation of a once independent nation.Henry II powerpoint

The French and Indian War (1754-1763) marked the end of French domination in North America and the beginning of British control over the continent. Conflict arose from competition over the fur trade between French and British traders with Native American tribes. Fighting broke out over the construction of forts in the Ohio River valley, which was claimed by both the French and British. The war resulted in victory for the British and the removal of French forces from North America, but it also increased tensions between the British colonies and the mother country.10 The French and Indian War

Asian immigration to the United States began in 1788 but increased significantly after gold was discovered in California in 1848 and Chinese laborers were recruited for the Central Pacific Railroad in 1865. A series of laws from 1875 to 1924 established quotas and excluded various Asian immigrant groups, including Chinese and other nationalities. The Angel Island Immigration Station in San Francisco Bay housed hundreds of thousands of immigrants and detainees from 1910 to 1940, including German and Japanese prisoners of war during World War II. Detainees endured poor conditions and expressed their suffering through poetry carved into the walls of the facility. The site is now a historic landmark commemorating the immigrant experience.New York

The Wars of the Roses was a civil war between the House of Lancaster and the House of York for the English throne. King Henry VI was a weak ruler who lost much of England's territory in France. This led Richard, Duke of York to seize more power. York and his supporters, the Yorkists, fought Lancaster supporters for control of the throne. The Yorkists, led by Edward of York, defeated the Lancastrians at the Battle of Towton in 1461, killing over 8,000 men and establishing Edward IV as the first Yorkist king of England.The Seven Years War

The Seven Years War was a global conflict between 1756 and 1763 that involved most of the great powers of the time. It began with a struggle between Prussia and Austria over the province of Silesia, leading to a diplomatic revolution where old alliances broke down and new ones formed. Britain and Prussia allied against France, Austria, Russia, and Sweden. Though Frederick the Great of Prussia initially achieved success on the continent, the tide turned against Prussia and Britain's victories in North America and India helped secure an eventual peace favorable to their interests with territorial gains.Angevin Empire

Henry II maintained control over his vast and disparate territories through an energetic and centralized government. He ruled England, Normandy, Aquitaine, and other lands directly using officials he personally selected and monitored. In more peripheral regions, he allowed greater autonomy to barons as long as they remained loyal. Henry was constantly traveling between his territories to collect dues, dispense justice, and ensure stable administration in his absence through trusted deputies like justiciars and seneschals.

This document summarizes the in-situ remediation of hexavalent chromium, antimony, and nickel contamination at a site using nano-scale ferrous sulfide slurry. The contamination was from a former chrome plating facility and impacted both soil and groundwater. Ferrous sulfide was injected into soils and groundwater to chemically reduce the metals of concern by precipitating or complexing them. Initial concentrations exceeded regulatory limits but post-treatment sampling showed concentrations decreasing significantly below standards. The remedy cost $4.5 million and was estimated to take 2 years, compared to competitor proposals costing over $8 million and taking 15-20 years.State of Employment in Indiana

Introduction
After 1800, the United States militantly expanded westward across North America, confident of its right
and duty to gain control of the continent and spread the benefits of its superior culture. In John Gasts
American Progress (Figure 11.1), the white, blonde figure of Columbiaa historical personification of the
United Statesstrides triumphantly westward with the Star of Empire on her head. She brings education,
symbolized by the schoolbook, and modern technology, represented by the telegraph wire. White settlers
follow her lead, driving the helpless natives away and bringing successive waves of technological progress
in their wake. In the first half of the nineteenth century, the quest for control of the West led to the
Louisiana Purchase, the annexation of Texas, and the Mexican-American War. Efforts to seize western
territories from native peoples and expand the republic by warring with Mexico succeeded beyond
expectations. Few nations ever expanded so quickly. Yet, this expansion led to debates about the fate
of slavery in the West, creating tensions between North and South that ultimately led to the collapse of
American democracy and a brutal civil war.

Alexander Hamilton was the founder of the Federalist party and the first Secretary of the Treasury, during which time he established the nation's financial system and helped form the Federalist Party. The Federalist Party supported a strong national government, a national bank to provide loans and stabilize the currency, and close ties with Britain. Hamilton's policies were controversial but laid the foundation for the country's economic growth and ability to compete internationally.Slave Ship Museum Feasibility Study

This preliminary feasibility study examines creating a National Slave Ship Museum in New Orleans. It received funding from the National Park Service. The museum would recreate the slave trade experience, preserve stories of slaves who passed through New Orleans, and serve an educational purpose. It would be located at the former Entergy power station and include a replica slave ship exhibit on the river. The study evaluates the historical background, proposed concept, education programs, site, market, and financial feasibility. An additional $350,000 is needed for a final feasibility study.The French and Indian War

The French and Indian War began in 1754 due to competing territorial claims between France and Britain in the Ohio Valley region of North America. Initial battles involved the British under George Washington being defeated by the French at Fort Necessity. In 1755, British General Braddock was killed in an ambush by French and Native American forces. The war escalated into the global Seven Years War between the major European powers. With increased resources, the British reversed their fortunes, capturing Quebec in 1759 and Montreal in 1760, eliminating France's North American empire. The 1763 Treaty of Paris ended the war, ceding French lands east of the Mississippi to Britain.RichmondS Slave Trade Strat 1009

This document summarizes Richmond, Virginia's history with the slave trade from 1690 to the 1860s. It notes that over 100,000 enslaved Africans were imported into Virginia between 1690 and 1775, with many sales occurring in Bermuda Hundred and Osborne's Landing near Richmond. While Richmond was a small village prior to 1776, it later became a major center for the domestic slave trade within the United States from the 1840s through the Civil War, with traders such as Robert Lumpkin exporting an estimated 257,500-300,000 people from Virginia during this period. The human costs of this trade were immense, though it provided economic benefits to white Virginians.Fort Adams and the Historic Preservation Movement 1950 - 2009

The document discusses the history of London's docks from the 19th century onwards. It notes that the Thames was constrained and organized to facilitate river traffic beyond Tower Bridge, and legal quays were established upriver to unload imports. Over time, a system of enclosed docks was built on both sides of the river to prevent cargo theft and accommodate growing trade. This fueled London's growth as the world's busiest port during the Industrial Revolution. The 1901 census recorded over 300 ships docked across the various port facilities, demonstrating the scale of maritime commerce at the time.Washington, D.C. LR

The document provides historical context about Richmond, Virginia's involvement in the Atlantic slave trade between 1690-1877. It notes that while Richmond was a small village prior to 1776, it later became a major center for the domestic slave trade within the United States as slavery expanded west. Beginning in the 1840s, Richmond dominated the exportation of enslaved people from Virginia with traders selling approximately one-half million people total over the decades. The largest traders operated jails and markets in Shockoe Bottom to facilitate these sales and temporary housing of slaves before transport.Slsa Day 75 Years Of Nara1

The Atlantic Proletariat
U.S. Labor and Work - 201
Week 2
Prof. Brucher
What does Proletariat mean?
From the Latin proletarius: a person having no wealth or property and only served the state by producing offspring.
By the mid-17th century proletarian and proletariat were used in English to describe common workers.
Today, these terms are used to describe the working class in broad terms.
Why call it theAtlantic Proletariat?
Social historians argue that a wide-ranging group of workers provided the labor necessary for colonial expansion in the Atlantic economy of the Americas from the time of contact between European, African, and Native American Peoples.
Who were the Atlantic Proletariat?
Indentured Servants
Slaves
Dispossessed commoners
Transported felons
Religious radicals
Urban laborers
Soldiers
Sailors
Pirates
Native Americans
Why focus on workers?
Of course, we can look at other factors when studying the Atlantic economy:
Technological advancement and knowledge driving exploration (better sailing ships, navigation methods, etc.).
Agricultural advancement (cultivating crops).
Political developments fuelling expansion and trade (see textbook chapter 1!).
Religious motivations (Spanish, Portuguese, and French Catholic missionaries, English religious dissenters, etc.).
Why focus on workers?
Ordinary workers did the labor that was essential to the rise of the Atlantic economy from the 16th through 19th centuries, which in turn fueled the growth of the modern global economy.
At the same time, many members of the Atlantic Proletariat tried to resist or adapt to conditions that were often brutal, violent, and inhumane.
Processes that help create the Atlantic Proletariat
Expropriation: The seizure of common property used by the many (ordinary people) and put in the hands of the few (governments/kingdoms, colonial corporations). Examples:
Spanish conquistadors seizing lands in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America to create enconmiendas controlled by wealthy Spanish landlords under the Spanish crown.
Wealthy lords enclosing the commons (shared agricultural lands used by poor communities) in Great Britain.
English corporations like the Virginia Company that set up agricultural colonies on the east coast, claiming property for themselves and the English crown.
Processes that help create the Atlantic Proletariat
Exploitation: The act of mistreating someone to benefit from their labor. The work involved in expropriation was particularly exploitative:
Encomiendas: Native Americans forced to work for the Spanish landlords, clearing land and harvesting crops. African slaves later imported to the Spanish colonies.
Enclosing the commons: Poor people kicked people off the land, forcing them to become tenant farmers, move to the cities for work, or become indentured servants in America. Poor people also imprisoned and forced to work; many sent to work as sailors or to work in the Americas.

At one point, New York City was second only to Charleston in the number of slaves. When Wall Street was actually a defensive wall, half-freed blacks formed a community north of it, outside the wall. They were denied, by law, from burying in the city so had their own burial ground. What happened to it?British Military Presence in the Midwest, 1760-1786
