Changes In The United States From 1776 To 1870

     During 1790-1860, there were many reformations taking place and many events that lead up to the reformation of this very inexperienced country, of America. All these events effected the United States different ways and caused many grievances for the young people living in America. In 1790 we firmly incorporated the first American cotton mill which led to the economic augmentation of the United States. In 1791 we established the Capital of the United States in Washington D.C., and Alexander Hamilton establishes the first bank of America. In 1794 in Pennsylvania there was an uprising called the Whiskey Rebellion. People were rejecting the taxes on their way of life, and that was whiskey.

One of the inventions that impacted industrialization and American life is the telephone. It was invented by Alexander Bell and it changed the way people/businesses communicated. Before the telephone people use to communicate by letters, which use to consume a great deal of time. But because we have the telephone, communication is much

The American Revolution had a very intense fundamental change on American society between the years 1775 to 1800. The thirst for independence resulted in the revolution which caused many political, social, and economic changes. When the revolution began, the people were drowning in jingoism, and after the seven years of fighting for our independence, several changes had to be made. Although some political, social, and economic parts of society seem to have remained the same, America experienced drastic fundamental changes throughout these years and set the standards for even more changes to come.

The first half of the nineteenth century in the United States of America was a time of tremendous change for the nation. Firstly, change began as Thomas Jefferson was elected president, which meant the beginning of the Democratic-Republicans reign in office. But this development of the modern United States led not to a unified nation, yet it led to one divided. The expansion and development of ideas and land exposed great regional differences in the United States between 1800 and 1848. Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase had not only provided the country with land to farm, but it had doubled the size of the United States. Decisions over what to do with the new land separated the country. This is clearly seen in disputes concerning the United States’

Inventions like the iPhone have paved the road for social, economical, and political improvements. It allowed many opportunities for people to capitalize on whether it be economically like amazon, or socially like youtube as did the railroad that connected the states together. The transcontinental railroad most impacted America economically through encouraging imports and exports amongst the states, making transportation cheaper, and opening up cities along the railroad itself.

Since the creation of the United States Constitution, the many leaders of our nation took different roles in trying to attain perfectionism for their country. From the federalist views of John Adams to the democratic views of Jefferson, America was experiencing the endeavor that was being a young nation in the midst of the 19th century. The emergence of John Quincy Adams in 1820 started an “Era of Good Feelings” with exceptional political advancements and economic achievements. While Jackson’s democratic views were not always what were expected, during his presidency, the country grew national and world attraction. Through periods of boom and bust, political and economic changes in America undeniably helped reshape society between the years 1820 and 1848 with the emergence of new and innovative advancements.

During the 1800’s, the United States had gone through many social, political, and religious changes, by which was called the Antebellum Reform Period. The social reforms that had been made during the Antebellum Reform period was the changes to education and prison treatment. Also during the Antebellum period, there were political changes in the United States because of women’s suffrage movement and abolitionism. Finally during the Antebellum period, there were changes in religious morals because of Second Great Awakening. In the Antebellum period, reforms such as education, prison treatment, women’s rights, slavery, and people’s morals were made because of many movements and historical figures.

The industrial revolution came about because of many variables: progresses in transportation and communications, the development of manufacturing innovation, the advancement of new frameworks of business association, and maybe most importantly, increases in population development. As far as population trends, America became more populous as the years went by. The population was about 4 million in 1790. By 1820, it had reached 10 million and 17 million by 1840. New developments in public health played an important role in the population growth. (Brinkley, 222) Railroads were a very efficient way of transportation. They got people and supplies to places faster than in previous times. The telegraph improved communication. Before the telegraph, communication over long distances could only happen in person. Without the railroads, the telegraph would not work because the wires of the telegraph ran along the railroad tracks and the telegraph offices were usually located in the railroad stations. (Brinkley,

The degree of success for reforms in 1800 to 1860 varied in urban and rural areas. Reforms that called for institutional changes were, for the most part, successful in reaching their goals however; reforms that dealt with only institutional changes were less significant and successful than reforms that called for institutional and individual changes.

United States history was forever changed during the 1st half of the 1800, also known as the “Age of Jackson.” Three main events that led to this era was the Federalist Party loosing power, the Louisiana Purchase, and the conclusion of the War of 1812. The Federalist Party was one of the first major political parties in the United States that had held lots of power in the government until the election of 1800. This election marked the first peaceful transition of power when the Democratic Republican Party took control over the Federalist, until disappearance of the Federalist party completely which led to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. This purchase of Louisiana Territory was acquired from France and ended up doubling the size of the United

During the period between 1860 and 1877, many major changes occurred in America. There were many constitutional developments in this time period, which include the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil War, and newly added Amendments. There were also many social developments included the Ku Klux Klan and voting of black people. Some of these developments were a revolution, which is a forcible overthrow of the government or social order in favor of a new system, and some were not.

1. Political. The Republican party was specifically formed to keep slavery out of the West, and then to abolish slavery entirely. This directly violated Southern life, which was a slave based economy.

Sometimes the United States government does things that the citizens do not like. For example, during the early 1860’s there was a Civil War because people wanted slaves to be free everywhere instead of only the northern states, so they went to war with the southern states so that African Americans can not be slaves anymore. After four years the northern states finally won the war and Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation saying that all slaves were to be freed. I personally would have joined this because it was for a good cause. If it were to be for no reason then I would rather not participate.

Three technological innovations from the market revolution that had social, economic, and political consequences in the U.S. are the steamboat, cotton gin and the telegraph. First off, John Finch invented the steamboat and Robert Fulton invented the first commercial steamboat in 1807 which affected the industrial revolution profoundly. It did so because now you can travel faster and ship your goods faster all by using steam. After Robert Fulton’s first trip, from new york city to albany, farmers could now sell more crops without worrying that'll spoil on the trip to the market. This was needed because America was still expanding exponentially. Also before the steamboat, boats could only travel down the river but now they could go upriver because

Take an event in American History from 1800-1970, one that is small enough to paste onto a ream paper box, and make a presentation worthy of a museum in the span of 25 days. Events like the moon landing, Trail of Tears, and fall of the Alamo could prove a meaningful topic. However, something deeply entombed in American History that provides not only entertainment to speaker and audience, but useful contemporary knowledge, is that of the History of Jazz. My group, consisting of Carter Stanley, Emma Dixon, and Ryanne Meyer, began researching and developing a display exactly on that subject matter. By 9/27, this Jazz Group is completing their design; on 10/2, they’re presenting it; and 9/4, they are individually reflecting it. This reflection is in their learning, challenges, collaboration, display, and management. For myself, I confidently speak that my group overcame many trials, and through reflecting have much to say. Covering days spent conceptualizing and weeks passed constructing, it suffices to begin with discussing the display.
