Chapter 10

• Out line of chapter 10 The growth of Democracy
• I. The growth of Democracy
• 1.The Expansion and Limits of Suffrage
• Before the 19th century most of the original
  thirteen states limited the vote to property
  owners or taxpayers.
• Westward expansion changed the nature of American
  politics.
• Since during this time period there was not
  sufficient transportation as there is today it
  was extremely hard to get from one state to
  another.
• The new western states extended the right to vote
  to all white males over the age of 21.
• The geography of the newly founded states
  affected the way that each other acted, the north
  was completely different from the south.
• Some states liberalized voting in the hopes of
  dissuading disgruntled nonvoters from moving west
  or because it seemed unfair to recruit men to
  fight in the war of 1812 but not allow them to
  vote.
• There was a great difference in geography during
  this time such as in 1821 new York , the same
  buck tail dominated legislature that voted to
  extended franchise to most white men also
  restricted it among African American men to those
  with property.

• While most southern states voted for Andrew
  Jackson or William Crawford.
• 3. The elections of 1828
• The election of 1828 was the first to demonstrate
  the power and effectiveness of the new party
  system.
• During these elections majority of the states

  states voted for John Quincy Adams.
• Majority of what is known as the United states
  was during this time still consider no mans land
  as well as they were nonvoting territories.
• 4. Internal improvements building an
  infrastructure
• Federal and state government had important role
  in economic growth and in fostering the
  development of a national market. This differed
  from the geography of where a state was on what
  there laws would be.
• The transportation revolution
• 1800-40s there were revolutionary transportation
  improvements that will increase trade,
  communications, etc with every state.

  on individual mobility on the economy.
• National government funded the national road in
  1808
• 5. Railroads

Chapter 11 the south and slavery

• Chapter eleven the south and slavery
• The south and slavery 1790s-1850s
• King cotton and southern expansion
• Economic success of cotton and of the slave
  system on which it created quite different from
  that developing in the north.
• The cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793 made it
  harder for the slave trade and owning slaves in
  the south to end.
• The internal slave trade
• The upper south like Delaware, Kentucky,
  Maryland, Virginia and Tennessee needed to find
  new alternatives.
• The size and profitability of the internal slave
  trade made a mockery of southern claims for the
  benevolence of the slave system.
• Slave population
• 1820 1860
• The growth of cotton production caused a
  redistribution of the enslaved African American
  population in the south
• Slaves were still used to grow tobacco in the
  southern states, increasing numbers were sold
  down the river to work on new cotton
  plantations
• Freedom and resistance
• Slaves that were still slaves in the south would
  constantly try to become free by running away to
  the north
• What normally happened was that the southern
  plantation owners would hire bounty hunters and
  they would track down the slaves and bring them
  back.
• Under ground railroad was a way that most of the
  slaves during this time would get out.
• One of the most influential people that came out
  of this is Harriet Tubman.

chapter 13 coming to terms with the new age

• the growth of cities where Philadelphia was the
  nations largest city and was growing due to the
  industrial revolution that caused people to
  migrate for jobs / work
• in 1860 the city had emerged as the center of a
  new triangular trade
• while Boston still dominated the china trade
• the market revolution oriented the attention of
  each of these major seaports way from the oceans
  and toward trade with the nations interior
• during the 1820s 1860s it was the growth of
  cities and by the 1860s the biggest cities were
  north west of the Atlantic
• this was also the time period where poverty
  stricken Irish immigrants came to the united
  states for a better life , but instead since
  there was a need for workers in the factories
  they hired the Irish , and gave them little money
  and bad working conditions
• the panic of 1837 affected the temperance
  movement , where as most temperance crusaders in
  the 1820s has been members of the middle class

united states 1830s -1850

• by 1848 the untied states had gained all of these
  converted western land
• exploring the cast continent of north America and
  gaining an understanding of its geography took
  several centuries and the efforts of many people.
• The fur trade which flourished from 1670 to 1840
  I was an important
• expansion and Indian policy
• the justification for the western removal , as
  Thomas Jefferson had explained early in the
  century , was the creation of space where Indian
  people could live undisturbed by white people
  while the y slowly adjusted to civilized ways.
  But the government officials who negotiated the
  removals failed to predict the tremendous speed
  at which white people would settle the west.
• Indian territory was established in 1821
• in 1854 the government abolished the northern
  half of Indian territory, establishing the Kansas
  territories .
• The removal of the eastern tribes did not solve
  the Indian problem the term many Americans used
  to describe their relationship with the first
  occupants of the land.
• The politics of expansion were that America was
  rapidly expanding and come expanding had many
  consequences but the most significant was that it
  reinforced Americans sense of themselves as
  pioneers .
• The Kansas Nebraska law made most of the Indians
  be removed and moved to a new climate and a new
  way of life.

chapter fifteen the coming crisis 1850s

• Expansions and Growth
• Development of manufacturing in northeast and
  souths responsibility for economic growth waned.
  Which led the very success of the United Sates
  both in geographic expansion and economic
  development.
• The U.S population and settlements in the 1850
  were spread more throughout instead of most
  population in one area such as a major city or
  town.
• Two Communities, Two Perspectives
• Southerners were strong supporters of the
  Mexican-America War and wanted to expand into
  Cuba.
• The Compromise of 1850
• The issues of whether slavery should be carried
  into the new and additional territories that were
  becoming states.
• To keep balance California came in as a free
  state and Texas became a slave state.
• The Fugitive Slave Act
• Stated the full authority of the federal
  government now supported slave owners and slaves
  were not aloud to testify for themselves.
• The law imposed federal penalties on citizens
  who protected or assisted fugitives and slave
  owners could hire a bounty or slave hunter to
  go and find there slave and could be brought back
  to the south.
• The Kansas- Nebraska Act of 1854
• This act robbed the Indian people of half the
  territory guaranteed to them by treaty and
  because it repealed the Missouri compromise line,
  it opened up the lands to warring proslavery and
  antislavery factions.
• By allowing the possibility of slavery in the new
  territories Douglass bill in effect repealed the
  Missouri compromise of 1820.
• South Leaves The Union
• Abraham Lincoln won presidency and most
  southerners were embarrassed and scarred at this
  point.

  didnt think they had a choice, which they
  thought by breaking from the union the north
  would just give up.

Five terms

• Five terms
• Kansas Nebraska act Indian territory was west
  of Arkansas , Missouri and Iowa and east of
  Spanish territory , most of the Indian people
  that lived there had been removed from the east
  of the Mississippi river. All of the Indian
  people had trouble adjusting not only to a new
  climate and a new way of life but the close
  proximity of some Indian tribes who were there
  traditional enemies.
• The over land trails which was a 2,000 mile
  trip on the the trail fro the Missouri river to
  Oregon and California , which took 7 months went
  though the Indiana territory which caused a lot
  of problems geography .
• The compromise of 1850 the compromise of 1850
  reflected heightened sectional tension by being
  even messier and more awkward than the Missouri
  compromise of 1820. California was admitted as a
  free state , the borders of Texas were settled ,
  and the status of the rest of the former Mexican
  territory was left to be decided later by popular
  sovereignty.
• The Souths succession the southern states that
  would constitute the confederacy seceded in two
  stages while in Virginia the secession was so
  extreme that west Virginia split off to become a
  separate non-slave states and was admitted to the
  union in 1863.

  independence from Spain and created there own
  territory. This is geography because when mexico
