Feature #1:
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:

The Unfinished Nation: Worlds Apart

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.

GEM POST

Should the right to vote be limited only to people who are citizens of this country?

This is an issue that many of us, particularly those of us who have recently come to this country, feel quite strongly about. There are many different sides to the issue. One side, those who say "no," will state if you're not a citizen, you don't get to vote; kind of like if you go to the game without a ticket, you don't get in. The other side states that if these people are here working, and doing their best to start a new life, then the right to vote should be given to them.

Talk to people. Friends, relatives, the guy who owns the deli down the street. Your next-door neighbor. Get their ideas. Also, think about where they are coming from. What's their "perspective," or point of view.

There's no easy answer to this. Feel free to post to this as much as you like. Please maintain a sense of respect. It's OK to disagree, but not to disrespect. Good luck!

https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ASwKkVrh4N0RZGQ0cjl2MjhfMjZjdjU1MnNmeA&hl=en

Tonight's HW

Hello, APUSHers:

Here is tonight's HW. The rest of the assignments for the week will be posted shortly.

1. Find a copy of the Declaration of Independence, either in your textbook or online.

2. From the List of Grievances, select five reasons Jefferson and the Second Continental Congress gave to justify breaking away from Great Britain. For each reason, list the specific action on the part of Parliament or the King that prompted the complaint.

Here is an Example to help you:

Complaint: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

Specific Action: This complaint is a reference to the Quebec Act. The act expanded Quebec into the Ohio River Valley and provided for a system of justice that resembled the French judicial program. The French did not have a history of trial by jury, and this right was not included in the Quebec Act. News of the Quebec Act arrived in America at the same time as word of the Coercive/Intolerable Acts. The British colonists feared that their right to trial by jury, guaranteed in the English constitution, would also soon be taken from them.
