TUESDAY - MOVIE NIGHT!!! A DOUBLE FEATURE!!! Pick one or the other! Do BOTH, GO THE EXTRA MILE, and use it towards removing a missed HW.
Feature #1:
The Unfinished Nation: Pressures from Within
The Unfinished Nation: Pressures from Within
Reconsiders the so-called Era of Good Feelings during the presidencies of James Madison and James Monroe, exploring the growing rift between Northerners and Southerners over the issue of slavery. This program tracks the aftermath of the United States' victory over England in the War of 1812, touching on economic and geographic expansion, improved transportation, and a national bank. Such bold moves would require a more powerful central government than Thomas Jefferson and the Constitution had envisioned, leading these outgoing young Americans to rethink former concepts of nationalism. This program examines expansion into not only western territories, but also into the North with its fur trade and the South with its slave plantations, a radical response to the invention of the cotton gin. Important documents emerging from Monroe’s presidency, notably the Monroe Doctrine and the Missouri Compromise, are also analyzed, as are the first rumblings of civil war.
Feature #2:
Explains how the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the United States had a profound impact on the social structure of the country as well as its economic foundation. The program chronicles the changes in the makeup and behavior of the American family, the role of women, life on the farm, and the widening gap between the poor and wealthy in slave and free communities. Also discussing the distribution of wealth, the transportation revolution, urban centers, the emergence of the middle class, college and church life, and education in farming communities, the engaging presentation analyzes the mechanization of agriculture upon the introduction of the McCormick reaper and Eli Whitney's cotton gin.

18. Evaluate the importance of the Monroe Doctrine in subsequent American history. It no longer allowed interference with our trade.
He had defeated the Federalist opponent 183 to 34 in electoral votes. This meant the Republican party ruled. That strong sense of nationalism was more united when Monroe took a goodwill tour venturing into New England and then westward into Detroit. He was welcomed with warm hearts. But this era was not built to last as problems like tariffs, the bank, internal improvements, and sale of public land was brought up. Another upcoming issue was slavery.
-
The Panic of 1819 was when a paralyzing economic panic was presented to the U.S. This brought deflation, bankruptcies, bank failures, soup kitchens, unemployment, and overcrowded penthouses' known as debtors' prison. Debtors' were imprisoned and this showed the inhumanity this wave of panic brought out. The cause of all of this was the over speculation in frontier lands. The Bank of the United States was consumed in debt.
-
The economic fall during the 'embargo act' phase made people want to move west. Another was the destruction of the Indians in the North and Southwest who were defeated by General Harrison and Andrew Jackson. They opened up land for them to settle on. Transportation was one more reason to move westward. The Cumberland Road ran from western Maryland to Illinois. The first steamboat on western waters made an appearance in 1811.
-
It was explosive because instead the H.O.R. proposed the Tallmadge Amendment which said that no more slaves would be brought into Missouri and it allowed the emancipation of children to slave parents who are already there. This angered Southerners and they saw this as a threat thinking that if Northerners could rid of slavery in Missouri then they might try to do so in the other slave states. The North was already becoming more popular and prosperous.
-
Well to me it says, "The North and the South weren't very unhappy but this didn't mean they were content,". This refers to the Missouri Compromise where Missouri was allowed to be a slave state while Maine could be a free state. This kept a balance of 12 free states and 12 slave states. Also, all new states north of the thirty six degree thirty' line (the southern boundary of Missouri) would be free, but new states southward would be slave. Although everyone won here the bitter resentment of slavery was still an issue.
-
His statement meant that let everything be lawful and right and that it may be interpreted constitutionally. He said that the Constitution was based on the consent of the people and it's power is derived from them. Therefore, the government should benefit them.
-
Marshall's final judgments gave the Supreme Court the power and this greatly strengthened the federal government giving them the power to overrule governments sometimes.
-
Andrew Jackson was the one who went to he Florida border and hung two Indian chiefs. He also executed two British subjects for assisting Indians and seized St. Marks and Pensacola. Jackson helped with removing the Indians.
-
The British secretary George Canning, proposed to the American minister the idea of joining forces in acquiring Latin American land.
-
It was because John Quincy Adams knew something wasn't right about this proposal. In actuality, Great Britain feared that the hostile Yankees would seize Spanish territory in the Americas---perhaps Cuba---which would jeopardize Britain's possessions in the Caribbean. Adams knew this alliance was unnecessary and end up affecting American expansion. That's why he made that bold statement knowing the British boats would need to guard South America to protect their merchant trade.
-
The Monroe Doctrine was concerning the safety of our country. It was never a law or a pledge or even an agreement, it was just to really emphasize the isolationism and it expressed post-1812 U.S. nationalism.
Do we have to do question 46 for the war quest
Video Quest:
I learned about the efa of good feelings which was when monroe was running for president and was confident that he was going to win because he was close friends with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. I also learned about the war of 1812 and how it was nicknames Madisons war and it started by Britain blockading the us and in the war, the British torched the capital building and the White House.
The Unfinished Nation: Pressures from Within
I LEARNED...
- new generation of republicans
- beat Britain great sense of nationalism
- canals, turnpikes, transportation, manufacturing, economically independent
- fear of economic instability have bank system
- improvement in transportaion system--> aftermath of war
- merchants desperate for: cotton, flour, lumber, large bulky items for frontier use to make there.
- the bonus bill used bonus from national bank to support national program nowhere in constituion is it there.
- push for road work
- Jefferson and Madison want to modify constitution for internal improvements
- settlers of east want to go west
- east of the Appalachian mts. move
- enormous expansion westward
- farms get smaller as generations pass
- everyone wants to move west
- game (abundance), milk and honey, livestock thrive, no labor requirement
- overplanting and expansion need more land so go west
- black communities on plantations large
- the draw is actually not agriculture but fur trade
- the trapping of animals is difficult for Natives because of the bond they have w/ nature and animals.
- valuable species will be overhunted and probably wiped out
- Euro- American men have no limits waste so much of animals (dont make much use of them). basically greedy.
- James Monroe 61 years old
- Monroe's cabinet has federalist and republicans from east and west
- wore breeches, stockings, clothing represent taking it back to a powerless republican office
MAIN POINTS:
At first I thought that everyone wanted to move west for agricultural reasons. In the video they said farms got smaller and smaller as genrations went by. Plantations in the South would be overused and there would be large black communities. Milk and honey, was available and livestock would thrive out west. There was an abundance of game (animals) and moving out west meant no work was required. Merchants wanted to move West with big bulky items like cotton, flour, lumber, etc. These could be produced and sold there in the frontier. But the real draw to move westward was fur trapping. This was a problem for Natives because they had a special bond w/ animals and nature. Euro- American men would have absolutely no limits and overhunt valuable species. They wouldn't even make proper use of the animals like Natives would. These are the main points I found interesting.
The Unfinished Nation : Pressures from Within.
I learned :
- beat Britain and gained a great sense of nationalism.
- created different modes of transportation and manufacturing, and were economically independent
- improvement in transportaion system
- merchants were desperate for cotton, flour, lumber, large bulky items for frontier use to make there.
- the bonus bill used bonuses from the national bank to support national program <-- nowhere in constituion is it there.
- Jefferson and Madison want to make internal improvements to constitution.
- settlers want to move west of the appalachians, but cannot because the government forbids it.
- overplanting & expansion need more land so they want to go west
- the draw is actually not agriculture but fur trade
- American men are greedy
- valuable species will be overhunted and become extinct
- Monroe's cabinet has federalist and republicans from east and west
Main Points : Basically, every american was hungry for the new land they gained through the war, for they needed to use it for agriculture, resources, more land, etc. I agree with the british interpretation of the whole thing -american men ARE greedy.
