i hate monday
We discussed 8th grade review today. Mr. Bruns made a screencast.
LA purchase
We bought a lot of land in 1803 for $15,000,000. It led to the Lewis and Clark expeditions. Native Americans helped them. It hurt the Native Americans by taking their land.
Mexican-American war
Mexicans were letting people in as long as they converted to Roman Catholics and took no slaves. The immigrants didn't do any of this. The Alamo was actually a losing battle. For about 10 years, Texas was independent. We got land, but we caused a war and stole Mexican land.
Civil War
1861-1865
Slavery was one of the main causes. It upset the balance in congress, which was somewhat related to the slavery issue. The war was mainly caused by Abe Lincoln's election. It ended slavery, but it also caused a lot of racism against black.
Reconstruction
1867-1877
The military was sent to the south. The north took over the south. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were passed. It also created the Freed Man's Bureau, which helped former slaves get jobs. As soon as it ended, the racism started over. The KKK controlled a lot of the south.
Compromise of 1877
There was a dispute in the election. We took the carpetbaggers out of the south, and the government was returned to the old one.
War of 1812
Britain was doing impressment. We didn't like that. We also believed that Britain was causing native American attacks.
Women's Suffrage
It started with the Seneca falls convention. In 1920 women got the right to vote. When black men could vote but not white women, they were angry.
The Great Awakening
Protestants felt that religion wasn't important enough.
Transcontinental railroad.
The transcontinental made it faster to get across the country.
