ASSIGNMENT #1:
What caused the Second Great Awakening?

1 Why was education "central to the Republican vision of America?"

Republicans wanted their society to be educated to ensure a good future for generations to come.

11. What role did Eli Whitney play in America's Industrial Revolution? What impact did his inventions have on the South? on the North?

Eli made an invention called the cotton gin, which highly improved the textile industry in America, causing a boost in the Industry, ehich then started the Industrial Revolution. The North started making more textile mills, and the South improved the speed and efficiency of existing ones, and also expanded them.


12. What effect did America's transportation system have on industrialization?

As the industrial revolution unfolded new sources of power such as the steam engine was developed. It is true that the idea of the steam engine existed since 1698 but all along it had problems like intense pressure, or it required a lot of coal to fuel it. However in 1760 James Watt developed a perfect steam engine which revolutionized transportation. Not only so but also brought great changes in the iron and coal industries, which Henry Bessemer contributed greatly to, by developing a procedure that helped the production of steel, this stronger more workable steel triggered the growth of other industries as well. What do these industries depend on? Yes they depend on good transportation systems to bring raw materials to factories and to distribute finished goods. Thus they started building canals between mines and factories, then a road surface, and finally the rail road industry was developed. George Stephenson developed the Rocket; the first steam powered locomotive. Also the American Engineer Robert Fulton developed a way to use steam power for ships. The postal system was also introduced by the British but this time inexpensively. And last we should remember the telegraph that sent messages by electrical impulses not only in Europe but also between America and Britain.


SECTION #2:

11. Why did New England oppose the War of 1812?

They oppose the war, because Federalists feared that the war would throw the nation into the arms of Napoleon, who was variously described as "the great destroyer," "the little tyrant," the "monster of human depravity," and "the arch-fiend who has long been the curse and scourge of the European World."

Assignment #1:

5.Thomas Paine wrote, "The Age of Reason". He declared that Christianity was the "Strangest religion ever set up", because "It committed a murder upon Jesus in order to redeem mankind from the sin of eating an apple".

7.It was caused when there were shifts in theology and in religious thinking and American Christians took it upon themselves to reform society. It was partly spurred as a reaction to the French Revolution. Here are a couple of good discussions of the period.

8.Presbyterians expanded to the western fringe of white settlements. Methodism founded in England spread to America, because of John Wesley, in the 1770’s.
Methodism became a formal religion in 1784 under the leadership of Francis Asbury and became the fastest growing religion in America. Baptists in the south became new to America.

11.Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin. Since the South was known for Cotton, the South had a lot more agricultral improvements than the North.

Assignment #2

1.The Jefferson Presidency saw increasing factionalism and a couple of debates, but was most notable for its deeds outside of America. Jefferson attempted to face down the Barbary pirates, purchased Louisiana from the French, and tried to triangulate between the French and British. In response, Jefferson and Congress passed the Embargo Act, prohibiting all American exports and thus unsurprisingly hurting the American economy. Congress soon repealed it and replaced it with the Non-Intercourse Act, which only forbade trade with Britain and France, and authorized the president to end the boycott against either at his discretion.

5.Tecumseh's agenda was to unite other Indian tribes to oppose white expansion into the west in the early 1800s.Tecumseh was killed while fighting on the British side at the Battle of Thames during the War of 1812.

7.The British navy had learned that some deserters had enlisted aboard the U.S. warship Chesapeake with the knowledge of its commander. The British warship H.M.S. Leopard hailed the Chesapeake at about ten miles from the American coast and demanded that the ship submit to a search. When the U.S. commander refused the Leopard put three broadsides into the Chesapeake, killing 3 of the crew and wounding l8 others. The British then removed the deserters. One turned out to be a British subject and he was hung. The other three were U.S. citizens, two of whom the British released nearly 5 years later. The third died in prison in the interval. The Chesapeake incident inflamed American public opinion against the British.

8.The Embargo Act had been a costly miscalculation. By forfeiting trade the U.S. had experienced only the economic hazards and none of the potential commercial gains of war. At the same time the embargo had been unable to redress U.S. grievances as a neutral power and had divided rather than united Americans. Not surprisingly, the U.S. applied later embargoes to specific goods and not to shipping in general.

Assignment #1
1. Education was central to the Republicans because Republicans thought that all citizens should be educated in order for America to be a successful country. They also thought that educated citizens were productive citizens.

2. Education had a great effect on United States. Because the citizens were now required to attend school and get education. Youths were now able to get education that will benefit them when they grow up. America was predicting a good era infront of them as education was mandatory.

7. The causes of the Second Awakening was the change in the America's economy, politic, and the American religion as they gained indpendence. The religion had most impact because as the churches started spreading and the religions started influencing the majority of America.

11. Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in the 1790's which benefitted the Southern colonies who used agriculture as their main basis of money. He also invented a factory that eased the making of weapons out of left over parts from the War of 1812. He led America to a greater industrialization evolution.

Assignment #2
1. Jefferson basically thought that people must follow the Constitution and he believed in implied-powers. He was a very strict president and always followed a rule. But he brought himself up as a hypocrite when he allowed slavery although he said "All men are equal". He added that "slaves" and "native americans" weren't men.

3. Aaron Burr hated Hamilton because he was a Federalist and Hamilton disliked him back as well. They didn't get along very well and Aaron Burr didn't get selected as a Vice-President which angered him even more. The policies weren't going the way Aaron Burr wanted it as and he dueled Hamilton and killed him fataly.

6. The American neutrality rights were being violated by British and French because the British would always capture American merchant vessels and forced the sailors to enlist in the British navy. The French basically did the same too when the French realized that America favored British more than they favored the French.

8. The Embargo Act was issued when British literally killed few American sailors and took some in to the Royal Navy. Many citizens wanted war but Jefferson instead issued the Embargo Act. Hoping to be neutral at all times, he prohibitted the merchants from trading with other countries. Many tried to defy the law and trade because America's exporting profit dropped from about $100 mil to $22 mil. This brought a big problem after Jefferson left the house because they needed to deal with the economic harship, and they had to find a way to repeal it and deal with the economy.

9.What problem was solved/not solved by the Non-Intercourse Act?
by Macon's Bill #2?


Madison used this Act to replace the Embargo act.This act help our economy back up because this allowed America to trade with exceptions of France and Britain. This kept France and Britain away from American and still allowing them to trade. Unlike the Embargo act, this boosted up American's economy and kept them safe. :]
