Apush Ch 9

In June 1744, the Iroquois and representatives from Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania met in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to resolve conflicts and negotiate on agreements. These meetings were called the Covenant Chain.

German settlements dominated certain districts and moved down to western parts of Maryland, Virginia, and Carolinas.

Communication, transportation, and the trading of new goods changed the culture of the United States. Machinery for mass production, like the Spinning Jenny, the Iron mining industry and coal mining industries created a culture of constant communication, trading and commerce between U.S citizens. Textile Factories and other innovations in this time created various jobs for Americans and created tradeable crops for American to exchange with other countries. (Lec 12) With this, throughout the 1800s, the population of the United States grew to 31.4 million by 1860. (Lec 12). This shows the improvement of economic relationships within the United States.

In contrast, the Northern part of the United states had an increasing industry the first half of the 1800s because of the spreading of manufactured goods. Firstly, the spreading of textile mills had significantly grown and expanded the Northerners’’ factories, transportation system, growing markets, and innovations of technical. The Northerners’ daily lives were indulged in farming, marketing, working, and factoring. The more they indulged in these things, the better their economy became. Merchants started selling interchangeable

Until the late nineteenth century, the United States was still an agrarian community. As factories sprouted to process the products obtained from agriculture and to manufacture farm equipment, there rose

In addition to the plentiful raw materials that England supplied, Britain had an expanding economy to support their industrialization. With the help of Britain's stable government and new investors, factories were able to quickly adapt to newly purchased machinery. The Industrial Revolution was further spurred by a resolution of new technology. These new inventions and expansion of factories led to a rapid increase in wealth of the overall nation. Which led the decrease in prices to come from the introduction of machines. For example, the creation of the well known cotton gin, by Eli Whitney helped revolutionized the production of cotton. Before, the cotton process took a long period of time and extensive work to produce a widely traded product. Whitney’s new tecnhioldingal invention was able to show tremendous growth in efficiency. This machine helped by greatly speeding up the process of removing seeds from cotton fiber. By the mid-19th century, cotton had became America’s leading export. In other words, this machine was designed to spin and weave the fabric, which helped to expand the Industrial Revolution’s productivity. This picture displays the sketches made to depict the parts of the original cotton gin. These gins were an important invention because it dramatically reduced the amount of time it took to separate cotton seeds from cotton fiber. This was one of the key

Some called it the Second Great Awakening because it “raised people’s hopes for the second coming of the Christian messiah and the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth.” (Norton, et. al., Mindtap, 10-7) With industrialization on the rise and new cities in development, many people began to take certain aspects of culture as symbols of evil. The Second Great Awakening was a way to prevent evil in American cities in the hope of creating a perfect Christian society. “Revivalists strove for large-scale conversions. Rural women, men, and children traveled long distances to camp meetings, where they heard fiery sermons preached day and night from hastily constructed platforms and tents in forests or fields.” (Norton, et. al., Mindtap, 10-7) Many people were traveling great distances to hear sermons because they were persuaded to believe that society needed to be cleansed before the messiah’s return. The most popular preachers of this revival were Lyman Beecher and Charles G. Finney. These two preachers “argued that evil was avoidable,” and anyone could be cleansed from sin. (Norton, et. al., Mindtap, 10-7a) Charles G. Finney was a law-turned-Presbyterian minister who conducted revivals in towns along the Erie Canal. Finney was most successful in conversions in New York. New York at the time was experiencing a high level of technologic change. Along with technologic advancement

In 1794, U.S. inventor Eli Whitney patented a machine that transformed the production of cotton by significantly speeding up the process of removing seeds from cotton fiber called the cotton gin. By the middle of the 19th century cotton had become America’s leading export. This gave Sothern’s the rationalization to maintain and expand slavery despite large number of abolitionists in America. While the cotton gin made cotton processing easier, it facilitated planters in earning greater profits, resulting in larger cotton crops. This in turn increased slavery because it was the cheapest form of labor. As for the North, particularly New England, the cotton gin and cotton’s increase meant a steady supply of raw materials for its textile mills.

The Northern states had the pleasure of discovering abundant resources of coal. In addition, Richmond faced difficulties because of their existence on the margins of a plantation economy. Even though this was the nation’s first mine, it had various disadvantages that would not let it compete on an industrious scale. In the following paragraph, I will discuss how the South had a secret hand in textile mills within the United States.

What are the main points of this reading (focus on concepts, ideas, and then, not on individual facts)? Chapter 27 deals with the politics and cultural abundances during the Cold War. Because of the Cold War the U.S. gained many new technologies and ideas such as the interstate. Space Shuttles and tornado sirens were also created because of the Cold War era and the new threats it brought. Suburb development was the major effect of the new economic era. We developed new housing areas such as Levittown, along with the new area came new shopping malls and urbanization. There was still the threat of nuclear destruction in this time of development. Many leaders were afraid of the Domino Theory that would allow communism to spread at an alarming rate. One major battle that came from this idea was the Cuban revolution led by Fidel Castro. Along with the new economic and political changes came social and cultural changes. Texas and Florida were being flooded with Mexican Americans who came to work in the U.S. and then were supposed to go back to Mexico. African and Mexican Americans were fighting for their civil rights and equality. One example of Mexican Americans struggling for civil rights was Hernandez vs. Texas. African-Americans had a huge movement forward during this time. There was the Little Rock Nine, Martian Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and the Montgomery bus boycott. Throughout this hard time many minorities gained rights and equality. The Cold War era had a huge

The period between the American Revolution and the Civil War had great significance for the United States' economy. Although initially the economy seemed unstable at first, after the second war that America fought with England, the economy began to show considerable growth thereafter. This can be seen as the result of the cotton trade in the South and the eventual industrialisation of America, especially in the Northeast and later the West. From the invention of cotton gins to the adaptation of railways one can see how the United States used their opportunities and resources to their full advantage, transforming their economy to be able to compete among the worlds leading economical countries.

During the late 1700’s, the United States was no longer a possession of Britain, instead it was a market for industrial goods and the world’s major source for tobacco, cotton, and other agricultural products. A labor revolution started to occur in the United States throughout the early 1800’s. There was a shift from an agricultural economy to an industrial market system. After the War of 1812, the domestic marketplace changed due to the strong pressure of social and economic forces. Major innovations in transportation allowed the movement of information, people, and merchandise. Textile mills and factories became an important base for jobs, especially for women. There was also widespread economic growth during this time period

The article "Why in America" by Nathan Rosenberg, we learn how manufacturing was important impact on America during the nineteenth century. America was primarily borrowed the European technology and the rate of technical change increased. There were three major reasons why american manufacturing has increased rapidly. The three reasons of rapid increase of American industries were the increase of population growth, larger amount of natural resources, and specialized machines.

The structure of the American cotton industry and it connections to outside countries. This new role of the United States in itself was an outcome of the war, which had destroyed the political power of Southern slaveholders and their vision of subordinated economic development, in effect subduing the world's last powerful group of cotton growers. The political economy of continental industrialization was interwoven with the political economy of Atlantic trade. The American civil war disrupted the cotton industries and how transformed American economy. The Civil War, however, focused the energies of capitalists and statesmen. Their efforts resulted in a sustained increase in cotton production in India, Brazil, Egypt, and Central Asia Merchant, manufacturers, and statesman’s influence on cotton caused entrepreneurship, finance, and accounting. The American Civil War had convinced statesmen and cotton manufacturers everywhere that depending on a single supplier of cotton, especially one that seemed as politically unstable as the United States, was dangerous to the economic well-being of their factories and their rival

As the world’s empires began stretching to all corners of the globe, colonization provided growing empires with the much needed resources to sustain their exponential growth. As a small island nation, roughly the size of Louisiana, the British Empire was quickly becoming the world’s super power as the eighteenth century approached. With industrialized centers such as Manchester and London leading the world’s technological advancement, resources imported from colonies and foreign alliances were key to Britain’s economic and technological growth as the globe’s premier superpower. Taking place primarily from 1760-1850, the industrialization in England was fueled by a need for sustainment as nation. Due to minimal land mass of the British Isles, heavy reliance was placed on colonies and foreign nations for acquiring the needed resources to produce goods. With such goods as America’s cotton, Britain’s cotton gins could mass produce clothing and linens to all corners of the globe providing the nation with an influx of capital required to obtain much needed food sources and materials necessary to further along the industrialization. With greater capital inflows, British industries could purchase materials needed for production, keeping factories open year round and people of England off of the streets as employment provided for greater personal opportunity.
