Summary: Top Five Events In US History

There are many events that occurred that became the foundation of present day America. The five most important historical events that occurred during American History were: the Renaissance; the European Reformation; the life of George Washington; concept of Manifest Destiny; and racism. These events each had a significant impact that formed the concepts that are used throughout America today; and, if they never happened or happened differently society would have been greatly affected.

One of the most significant events in the history of America was the American Revolution. It was not so significant because of the number of deaths or the affects it had on America's relationship with Great Britain, but more because of the changes it caused in society socially, economically, and politically.

One of the events was the British Parliament power in the Colonies. In Document 6, it states that the British Parliament had extreme and unlimited power over the Colonists. The British Parliament made it so that no Colonists were allowed to be in on the Parliament, because if there were one the Colonists would have a voice and have some freedom to their own. The Colonists couldn’t do anything about the Parliament making laws to bind them, except to resist by using force. Another event was The Stamp Act.

From 1940 to 1980 there were many significant events that shaped America. Events in history are not defined by how they actually happened but how they were interpreted. Be it by the people of that land or other lands looking in. In what ways do people receive the important news? News comes through media outlets such as radio, newspaper and television. Americans especially tend to take things at face value. “This information must be true, I read it in a newspaper.” In 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and in the coming weeks thanks to newspaper, men and underage boys were lined up in a fury ready to serve their country and the United States declares war on Japan. In the same year Hitler declares war on the United States. The United States drops the Atomic bomb and Japan surrenders.

What historical events impacted American history and the lives of the American people living during a specific time period? The Great Depression, World War II and the Civil Rights Movement greatly impacted the lives of the American people and helped shaped the nation we live in today.

Sixteen Most Significant Events in U.S. History between 1789 to 1975 After a review of United States' history from 1789 to 1975, I have identified what I believe are the sixteen most significant events of that time period. The attached sheet identifies the events and places them in brackets by time period. The following discussion provides my reasoning for selecting each of the events and my opinion as to their relative importance in contrast to each other. Finally, I have concluded that of the sixteen events, the Civil War had the most significant impact on the history of the time period in which it occurred and remains the most significant event in American history.

There were a lot of events leading up to the American Revolution. But there are three events that are important. These three events were the Stamp Act, the Boston Tea Party, and the Quartering Acts.

In 1776 the British colonies commonly referred to as the “Thirteen Colonies” broke away from their motherland of Great Britain with Declaration of Independence. From Treaty of Paris in 1793 and onward the colonies were known as the United States of America. The 19th and 20th centuries brought the inclusion of 37 states into the Union as the country expanded from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific across the North American landscape. During that same time, two pivotal events in American History took place. The first event being the Civil War (1861-1865) in which the Union, comprised of northern states crushed a secessionist rebellion of eleven southern states to preserve their “peculiar institution” of slavery. The other event was the Great Depression,

In the Introduction lesson, it recapped events prior to 1865. Events such as the birth of The United States of America in 1776, with a constitution put into place in 1789. During this period of time, the U.S had some great presidents and some not so great ones. Three major events happened, the War of 1812, to prove our independence to England, the Jacksonian Democracy, which caused political rifts between people, especially about slavery. Slavery divided the country apart, eleven Southern states wanted out of the U.S, resulting in a Civil War, in which President Lincoln, forced all the states to stay together. After the Civil War, it left the country in pieces, the Reconstruction era occurred from 1865-1877, to attempt to shape the country

My timeline consisted of several, very monumental events that shaped the nation. They each played a critical role in the development of the United States. The founding of Plymouth was important because it introduced self-government and religious freedom and because of this the U.S. celebrates Thanksgiving. It is day where many people give thanks and praise. The Salem Witch Trials for one changed the Massachusetts court of law. The Boston Massacre displayed resiliency among the colonists revolting against the British. Lewis and Clark expedition opened the doors for Westward expansion. Trail of Tears devastated a mass population of the Native American population. The Civil War abolished slavery and changed the North and South of the U.S. The

Sometimes a boss can be really hard on a particular employee. They may seem to just pick on them such as giving them the hard work or just being very demanding and rude to them. The boss can only act like that for a certain amount of time before the employee finally decides to do something about it. They can do something simple like just leaving the job, or if they get extremely frustrated, they can do something to get their boss back for everything. This was the case between America, the employee, and Britain, the boss, in the late 1700s. Britain was being extremely harsh on America, Boston especially, for quite some time, and Boston eventually had enough of it. Boston reacted on December 16, 1773. The Sons of Liberty dressed up as Native Americans to aboard ships from the East India Tea Company and dumped over 300 chests of their tea into the Boston Harbor. This cost Britain over $1,000,000 in American currency today (History.com). This act is now known as the Boston Tea Party. This act did a lot more for America than one might think. It was the largest act of rebellion they did to date because of how much it cost Britain. It really made Britain mad and it raised the tension between the two putting war that much closer. This massive act also gave a lot of confidence to America because they now saw themselves as being closer to equals. They were not just a “baby brother”

1776, the time we all know about, the famous war, independence, and many other events that happened throughout this period of time. The famous battle that lasted 7 years between America and the tremendous army, British. The British located in South Carolina wanted to attack Americans Located in North Carolina. There were many battles in this period of time until America had a plan to beat the British.

If I could add one event of U.S History to the current list of ten, I would add The Attack on Pearl Harbor. The Attack on Pearl Harbor took place on December 7, 1941. The events that took place at Pearl Harbor provide insight into the isolationism that preceded the war and the world wide engagement that followed it. This event is a perfect definition of a historic event because its ramifications have made their way through the end of the 20th century and even into the 21st. Although Pearl Harbor was a crime ridden and pain stricken event, it ended up unifying our country and inducing the patriotism that we still experience to this day. Unfortunately, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor also culminated a series of misfortunate events that would

December 7th, 1941, also known as “a date which will live in infamy” (par. 2) was a turning point for America. On this day in history, the Pearl Harbor attack from Japan occurred leaving the entire nation in shock. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was left to rally America. His speech is known as one of the most memorable and powerful speeches in history and it is clear to see why through his use of diction in an attempt to appeal to pathos, the employment of ethos to create a sense of trust with America, and strategically using logos to clearly organize his speech.

Suicidal Newspaper reporter John Teddy's miserable life is turned upside down when he uncovers a voice from the past--a voice that suspiciously knows far too much about the would-be future. John's natural curiosity to understand the hidden message takes him to places he never imagined seeing, and ongoing conspiracies he never thought existed. The more John gets involved, the more he is led towards mysteries that are beyond his understanding. The circle of people involved grows bigger stretching from west to east; each step forward is like a step backward.
