ReplyDeleteThe 1940's were primarily dominated by WWII and the major change in American history over this time period was the change in technology as far as weapons (the a-bomb) and also a shift in global powers, as the U.S. and the USSR emerged world powers and rivals after the war.

Analysis/Interpretative commentary statement: Georgia finally becoming a state demonstrates that the power of the colonies is growing and could (and does) eventually become too great a force to be controlled by a small contry across the ocean.

Mass production of cars created a nationwide prosperity and led to one of the biggest social changes in America's history, and made America become more industrialized
The 1600 through the 1650's were marked by the colonization of East Coast America as English settlers migrated from England and revolutionzed culture by developing new branches of religion, forming the base for a democracy free of monarchs, and interacted with the Native Americans and discovered new natural resources.

1870
ReplyDeleteThe 1870's were a time of great change. This decade saw not only the end of reconstruction, but also many of the battles with native americans, as well as a massive move toward the west.
1. 1870 15th amendment gives African Americans right to vote, and Rockefeller founds Standard Oil Co.
2. 1877 Reconstruction ends. Last troops leave the south.
3. 1871 Indian Appropriations Act: treats indians as individuals, NOT tribes.
4. 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn: Custer tries to attack Sitting Bull/Lakota, but finds himself outnumbered and beat. Sitting Bull escapes to canada.

6. 1878 about 40,000 Exodusters move to Kansas to start all-black communities.
Although the 15th amendment gave African Americans the right to vote, DO NOT FORGET that whites in the south (like the KKK) used terrible intimidation tactics to keep blacks away from the polls. Also, many clauses and poll taxes kept blacks away from the polls for a really long time. With the movement of the exodusters to the west came the creation of several all african-american towns.
The 1890's were a time of social revolution and political change; the age of trusts was coming to and end, and the freedoms of newly freed slaves were being tested.
ReplyDelete1. Plessy vs. Ferguson (upholds seperate but equal.)
2.1898: U.S. ship Maine is sunk in Cuba.
3. 1899: Filipino Revolt.

The verdict of "Plessy vs. Ferguson", seperate but equal, was upheld until "Brown vs. Board of Education" in 1954.
1780's-
ReplyDeleteThe 1780's were a time of national formation, as the failed government of the Articles of Confederation were dissolved.
1. U.S. Constitution is signed and ratified, solidifying new government. 1787
2. AoC ratified (1781), our first natively-administrated government.
3. Shays' Rebellion shows political tension, and ineffective nature of the AoC. 1786-87
4. Treaty of Hopewell is signed with several Indian nations, such as the Choctaw and Chickasaw, foreshadowing centuries of genocide and outright lies by the U.S. Government against the native Indian population. 1786
5. First steamboat is tested, foreshadowing new method of transportation- 1786
6. Battle of Cowpens- The British are annihilated by a brilliantly-planned defense in South Carolina, dooming any hopes of a British revival in the South- 1781
The US Constitution's ratification shows the trend away from a weak central government. Our founding fathers intended this document as a more practical alternative to the Articles of Confederation, which provided a weak mortar to independent states, giving rise to the concept of American federalism.

ReplyDeleteBetween 1650 and 1700, this was a time when the colonies were continuing to being built up in America and thoughts toward the American Revolution were just beginning.
ReplyDelete1- 1653: North Carolina is founded by the Virginians

3- 1664: New Jersey is founded by Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret
4- 1664: New York is founded by Duke of York
5- 1682: Pennsylvania is founded by William Penn
The creation of these colonies led to a total of 12 colonies in America (Georgia comes in the 1700's) at this time and during the end of the 1600's we see the beginning of what leads to the American Revolution.
(Got it to work on another computer)

5. In the 1920's it was a time of self exploration and people experimented with sex.
6. People made lots of money, but they were using this money on credit and it cause banks to go out of business and cause the stock market to crash.
1770s: This decade showed a shift from unhappy relations between the colonies and Britain to full out rebellion, best epitomized by the Declaration of Independence
ReplyDelete1.Sam Adams helped each colony form its own Committees of Correspondence, which helped link colonial resistance leaders
2.The Tea Act of 1773 led to the Boston Tea Party where $70,000 of tea was dumped into Boston Harbor
3.The Intolerable Acts , which included the Coercive Acts made colonial relations with Britain even worse
4.The First Continental Congress occurred in 1774 where delegates petitioned King George for fair trials and taxation and called for each colony to organize a militia
5.In 1775 the Battles of Bunker and Concord and Lexington made many see that maybe the colonies had a chance of winning
6. The Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson and Common Sense written by Thomas Paine showed the growing popularity for independence from Britain
The Declaration of Independence was significant because it officially declared the colonies' freedom from Britain even if there was a long war ahead of them.
