1. Utah is both a product of the times in which it emerged but also a unique entity that worked to shape its own future. Robbins and Malone both describe how the west, and by a large extent Utah is a part of the great narrative of the American West and sometimes differing from it entirely. By exploring the different facets and predominant activities of 1850's and beyond we can find clues as to the origins and ultimate fate of the region . By exploring Western American capitalism, various functions of manifest destiny, and how settlers adhered to the frontier pioneer spirit we can learn the overall narrative in which the region participates.

* According to anthropologists, where did the first human beings live? Why did they leave that place? How did they get to North America?

1. Humans first appeared on Earth during the Paleolithic Era. The evidence of burial grounds, stone tools, and other items shows a general migration path of humans out of Africa, and support the theory that these groups were nomadic hunters and foragers.

When the colonists moved to the new world, King George III still ruled over them. There were high taxes placed on all of the shipped goods. The colonists were mad that the King put taxes on the tea, so they took barrels of tea and threw them into the Boston Harbor.

Throughout the Industrial Revolution, countries began to gain many raw materials to strengthen their empires. Inventions like the automobile made things much more efficient. With all this newly aquired power, countries already did not know what to do with it. During this Age of Progress from around the 1870's to 1890's, countries began to experience anxiety because they had trouble figuring out how humans worked. A great example is Siegmund Frued's psychoanalysis system which tried to prove how the human mind works, but now we know today it is very flawed. Herbert Spencer created his Social Darwinism theory stating that the strong countries are strong and "fit" to survive, and that the weak will die out. This caused more anxiety, so people mindlessly followed what was told to them. Many of these anxieties caused the imperialization of Africa, where

In the sixteen hundreds the Protestants left Europe to escape religious persecution. They did not agree with the Anglican Church so they traveled to New England where they could worship freely. They established some colonies such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland as plantations of religion.

In May of 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska act bill was passed by the U.S Congress. The bill was introduced by Senator Stephen A. Douglas (Discovering our Past; The History of the United States Early Years p.431 and 432). The bill gives the people of Kansas and Nebraska territory popular sovereignty. Popular sovereignty is letting the people of the Kansas and Nebraska territory choose whether to allow slavery or not. The textbook(Discovering our Past; The History of the United States Early Years p. 432) states that “Douglas hoped to make his plans acceptable to both the North and South. He propose repealing the Missouri Compromise and letting the voters in each territory vote on whether or not to allow slavery” (notes) Kansas with slavery would

At the end of the nineteenth century China was in political and economic disarray. It was not recognized as a sovereign nation by any major power, but many countries wanted to own their trading privileges and plotted on how the country should be partitioned. After the Spanish-American war the United States took these matters more seriously because they now possessed and needed to protect the Philippine Islands. In 1899, President McKinley stated his desire for an Open Door Policy that would allow all trading nations access to the Chinese market. By 1900, Secretary of State, John Hay, sought a formal endorsement of the concept by circulating diplomatic notes among the major powers, suggesting equal trading rights to all nations in all parts

The two historical documents, Narrative of Lavinia Bell written by an anonymous author in the Montreal Gazette and the Letter to an English Abolitionist by James Henry Hammond, shared their strong opinions on the important issue of slavery. These documents were written in the 1800’s during an era of progressive changes. One can identify similarities and many differences in their opinions, motives, and goals for their writings. I believe Bell’s account was written to show the perspective of slaves’ brutal view, compared to Hammond’s letter justifying slavery and the rights of the slaveholders.
