The remaining native americans were forced onto the famous Trail of Tears death march in 1838 after Jackson's final term. Masur goes on in detail to express how big of a problem this was, because of the technology that was growing in the United States and the Industrial Revolution had really gone into full swing. Masur explains that 1831 became a huge year for political exploits as the struggle for slavery hit a high point, the pursuit for individualism became more important, and technological advancements could lead the nation to secession and civil war. Masur is able to put these events together. Masur ties all these events together and make it clear on how they all set the tone and lead to shape the United States character as well as the future of both the government and the american people.
In the period 1783 to 93 William Pitt was involved in many different reforms, in areas of finance, administrative and commercial. These were crucial in some way and contributed to Pitt trying to bring about a national revival in Britain. The American War of Independence had had a serious affect on Britain, by ruining government finances, due to the costs of war and the disruption to trade caused by the war. The main problem facing Pitt was the national debt; it had rose, by 91%, to £250 million, with the government expenditure exceeding income by £10.5 million per annum. In addition the interest on the debt alone was £9 million per year.

The lessons learned from the shootings could fill volumes. The most important learning that can be gained from the tragedy is the importance of working together in a united effort to meet the needs of students, families, and communities under the most horrific of circumstances. In this case study analysis I will focus on three primary theories—differential association, social control, and anomie, and how they help us to understand the mentality of juveniles who commit acts of school violence such as the Columbine shootings. Introduction On April 20, 1999, two high school students – Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado arrived at their school with the purpose of committing a large scale massacre.

Tension had been building in America between Great Britain and France since 1689. The colonies grew at an exceptional rate from a population of 250,000 in 1700, to 1.25 million in 1750. Britain required raw materials including copper, hemp, tar, and turpentine. They also required a great deal of money, and so they stipulated that all of these American products be shipped exclusively to England (Kindig, 2011). According to our text, Europeans immigrated to North America during the 1800's for many reasons, which included religious freedom and the thought that America was filled with jewels and gold; there were lots of forests,
The FWP progressed from a set of tour books, educational pamphlets, to essays of the state guides, ethnic studies, and folklore studies. The FWP's Life in America series had 150 volumes on a range of topics. Interviews with former slaves, farm and cotton-mill owners, and workers published in These Are Our Lives (1939) this gave more knowledge on American history. Larger defense budget in the years leading up to World War II took money away from the FWP. By 1939, budget cuts had forced the project to scale down to 3,500 workers, although it was so popular that every state provided money to keep it alive when Congress reduced funding in 1939.
