It was used to describe accompanied territorial movement. It basically stated it was a right to spread civilization. Along with that came population growth, advances in transportation and industry leaving Americans with a thought of national superiority. And that left ideas to continue migration to new territories. 2.)
DBQ 8 The Role of Capitalist, 1875-1900 Brice Persiani The surrender of Robert E. Lee on April 9, 1865 marked a major turning point for Capitalism in the United States. The war left the country open to be formed in whatever way the capitalists molded it into. To industrialize, change treatment of hired work, continue slavery through hard labor, or to change the way laborers were treated for the better. There were two true roles these capitalists could play, admirable “captains of industry” or corrupt “robber barons”. The “captains of industry” resided in both the North and the South; the North was beginning to industrialize and also was the South yet for different reasons.
The Lewis and Clark’s expedition: purposes and achievements Being founded in 1776, the United State is labeled as a young nation with a large area of land. With a passage of time, the history of the country has been accompanied by numerous trail adventures, which have made connections between many parts of the massive continent. Being known as the Crops Discovery of Expedition, the Lewis and Clark Expedition is one of the most successful explorations that help America turn over a new leaf. The expedition was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson, based on the ground that the United State was in the need of getting valuable minerals and plants, finding a water route to the Pacific Ocean, establishing trade with Native Americans,
Chapter 16 The Conquest of the Far West Pioneers such as farmers, ranchers, and miners settled west around 1845 and recreated the image of “The Great American Desert” to a legendary “Frontier.” Many Americans were in the west before the Civil War. Despite efforts to drive away established native populations, the Anglo-Americans found themselves among them with their influence in everything they did. Pioneers really relied on federal money and the capitalism of the East. The Far West or “Great West” was more than just one region beyond the Mississippi River; it was filled with many people and different environments. The most widespread Indian group of the West was the Plains Indians.
The Kiger Mustang came to the New World from Spain in the 1600’s. The word mustang is from the word “mesteno” which means “unclaimed sheep”; it later became the word for wild or unclaimed (BLM). The Kiger Mustang was not really identified in the United States until 1971 when a group of horses were brought into captivity. They were noted, by the people who brought them in, to have strange markings. A man by the name of Ron Harding, a Bureau of Land Management Wild Horse Specialist, tested them and discovered their dominant genes were coded for the dun factor markings.
This Compromise allowed California to become a state, gave Southern states specific slave rights, and organized many disputed territories. Clay spoke out against secession and warned that Civil War was imminent if states should choose to secede. Clay’s System consisted of three mutually reinforcing parts; a tariff to protect and promote American industry; a national bank to foster commerce; and federal subsidies for roads, canals, and other internal improvements to develop profitable markets for agriculture. James Monroe was also one who believed that internal change was necessary. He believed that the US needed an improved infrastructure, including a transportation network to grow and thrive economically.
As time passed by, the American frontier floated into history, and the myths of the west firmly held to the imagination of Americans. To explain how the West was won and make it pleasant to everybody, the American government used the term manifest destiny (God’s will to expand the land) and an assimilation process to make Native Americans civilized. American popular culture widely characterized Native Americans as discomfort and ambivalence to the general people of America. As the United States worked to destroy the Native Americans life, they created way to glorify and romanticize their traditional culture to explain Whites’ imperialist past. Today, it is possible for somebody who does not know about Native American history may have mixed feelings about them
The initial growth of the US government stemmed largely from the American Revolution in 1775 when the United States was competing with Britain for the expansion of this territory. Directly following the revolution arose the Constitution, which quickly established a governing policy over the indigenous residents. In the third clause of Article 1, Section 8, we saw the Indian Commerce Clause, which ensured that Indian tribes must be subject to federal policy under the Constitution. These policies pushed some groups out of their original settlements, while around the same time, another movement was occurring
History 202 001 The Western Frontier: Myth or Reality The years 1865 to 1890 in history were known as the years of Westward Expansion within the United States. Westward Expansion served as an inspiration to those dreaming to start a new life. Portrayed as the land of milk and honey and as the land of opportunity, many people moved to make a better life for themselves and their families. The myths of the western frontier differed vastly from the reality of the Native Americans, Agricultural Pioneers, and Miners who moved westward. The myth of the Native Americans in the West was that they were inferior savages while the reality was much different.
It has been traditional to regard the famine as a line which clearly demarcates two eras in Irish agriculture. The earlier era is thought of as one in which the Irish rural population remained on the land and tilled rather than grazed. The latter era is regarded as one in which the people either emigrated or embraced the rearing of livestock as opposed to the production of grain. However, the important question is whether this dividing line came before the famine or as a result of it. Some revisionist historians have claimed that 1815 was in fact the time when the structure of Ireland’s agriculture began to shift from tillage to cattle farming.
