GOAL SHEET
INDUSTRY AND TRANSPORTATION
The Early Years of Transportation
•The original 13 states were on the coast, transportation revolved around harbors and rivers.
•At the start of the 19th century, overland transportation consisted of carts, wagons, sleighs, and stagecoaches pulled by horses or oxen.
Improving the Roads
•National Road – only decent route in the U.S. and it was made out of crushed rock. (Maryland to Ohio River)
•Turnpikes – roads where users had to pay a toll, this was used to try and improve the roads.
The Steamboat
•1st Major advance in transportation, it burned wood and coal to power rotating paddles.
•A steamboat could cross the Atlantic in 10 to 14 days, instead of 25 to 50 days by a sailing ship.
•2nd transportation advance was the construction of canals
•Erie Canal – best known of the canals, completed in 1825, it ran for 363 miles across New York State from Lake Erie to the Hudson River. It cut cost down dramatically. ($100.00 to $4.00)
•The railroad provided the most dramatic advancement in transportation.
•Horses pulled the 1st trains in the U.S., but steam-powered engines soon replaced the animals.
•Trains could pull heavier freight or passengers at higher speeds than horses could manage.
Industrial Revolution
Developments in technology transformed also manufacturing. Not only did it change our nations economy, but also its culture, social life, and politics.
Slater Mill
•Samuel Slater opened the 1st textile mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The mill used the Blackstone River to power it’s machinery. He stole the idea from the English.
•Factory work changed lives through speed and volume
Inventions
• Interchangeable Parts – this improved efficiency in factories. Eli Whitney came up with the idea for identical components.
•Samuel Morse - invented the electrical telegraph. Messages could be delivered almost immediately.
•John Deere invented the steel plow and Cyrus McCormick invented the mechanical reaper.

SECTIONAL DIFFERENCES
Sectional Differences
NORTH EMBRACES INDUSTRY
•Jefferson had wanted to keep the U.S. as a nation of farmers. However, between 1815-1860 the North became industrialized.
THE SPREAD OF INDUSTRIALIZATION
Reason for spread of industrialization: 1. the embargo of 1807 2. the war of 1812
This led to Americans building factories in the Northeast.
When these two events were over the goods started to flow in from Britain again.
Congress passed the Tariff of 1816 to protect the American factories.
Why the Northeast?
1. Capital – the money needed to build factories
2. Labor was cheaper
3. Swift flowing rivers that provided power to the factories
Social Changes in the North•These factories reduced the number of needed skilled workers (artisans), such as blacksmiths, shoemakers, and tailors.
•Workers Organize – labor unions were created with the hope of improving pay and working conditions.
SOCIAL CHANGES IN THE NORTH
Middle Class Emerges – men were hired to manage businesses as bankers, lawyers, accountants, clerks, auctioneers, brokers, and retailers.
Men went to work while women stayed home.
SOCIAL CHANGES IN THE NORTH
Emigration from Ireland and Germany – Ireland had a potato famine which led to mass starvation. Germans left during the same period when a political revolution failed.
Nativists – wanted laws to discourage immigration
IRISH Long history of oppression by the British
Arrived in the US in the 1940s because of potato famine
Mostly settled in cities, worked in factories
Extremely poor
ANTI-IRISH SENTIMENT WAS HIGH BECAUSE: Irish were poor and slums developed in cities; people blamed Irish for crime, disease, prostitution and alcohol abuse
Irish were Catholic; most Americans were Protestant and claimed Catholics could not be trusted because they would be more loyal to the Pope than the U.S. government
Know-nothing party were Anti-Irish and Anti-immigrant
IRISH IMMIGRATION: LESSON
Main Goal: to recognize that racial categories have changed over time.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 19TH

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL
Cotton production surges:
1. The cotton gin – invented by Eli Whitney
2. Western expansion
3. Industrialization
Slavery Grows with the Cotton Boom
•Growing cotton requires land and labor. Because cotton was so profitable, the demand for slaves soared.
•Economic Consequences – Many plantation owners became rich, but the production limited regional development. The South became too dependent on cotton.
•Planters opposed education for slaves and did not want to provide it for poor whites.
•Three-fourths of slave owners owned less than ten slaves.
NATIONALISM
NATIONALISM
MONROE DOCTRINE
In 1823, Monroe issued a written doctrine declaring that Europeans Monarchies had no business meddling with American republics.
In return, the United States promised to stay out of European affairs.
NATIONALISM INFLUENCES FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Adams-Onis Treaty – ended Spanish claims in the Northwest Territory, After this Treaty, Americans began to settle Florida and purse the fur trade in Oregon.
MISSOURI COMPROMISEMissouri wanted to be admitted to the Union as a slave state. The North was concerned because this would give the South more regional power in the Senate.
MISSOURI COMPROMISE Henry Clay proposed the Missouri Compromise, Missouri would enter in as a slave state and Maine would enter in as a free state.
They also drew a line along the continent.
AGE OF JACKSON
Election of 1824 Monroe was retiring after two terms and it became a four –way race for the presidency. All four were Democratic Republicans.
John Quincy Adams Henry Clay
William Crawford Andrew Jackson
•Jackson was very popular in the south (80%). The South wanted 60,000 American Indians removed from the region.
•The Native Americans turned to the Supreme Court (John Marshall) for help and they found in favor of the Native Americans.
•This angered Jackson and he even called out Marshall about the decision.
SUPREME COURT AND THE NATIVES
Indian Removal Act of 1830 – sought to peaceable negotiate the exchange of American Indian lands in the South for new lands in the Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma).
Trail of Tears – In 1838, U.S. soldiers forced 16,000 Cherokees to walk from their lands in the Southeast to Oklahoma. 4,000 Cherokees died of disease, exposure, and hunger.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20TH Flashcards- Civics Review
Book Activity- will be checking grade sheet, transportation activity, and flashcards/quizlet
Discussing Trail of Tears afterward/finishing notes
CONSTITUTIONAL DISPUTES AND CRISES
•The North favored tariffs, but the South did not support them.
•Tariff of Abominations – designed by members of Congress not only to promote American industry but to embarrass President Adams and ensure a Jackson victory.
•John C. Calhoun was Jackson’s Vice President and opposed the tariff. He supported nullification, which meant that states could nullify, or void, any federal law deemed unconstitutional.
South Carolina nullified the tariff and the collection of tariff duties. They threatened to secede from the union and Calhoun resigned as Vice President.
Daniel Webster became the great champion of nationalism. Secession was postponed rather than resolved.
