...The War of 1812 was one of the most significant event that we have studied. It set out far lasting effects which include kicking off the "era of good feelings", and fully kept the U.S. independent from England. This war started with three main causes including, native american attacks, the war hawks, and England's use of impressment. During the Napoleonic Wars, the U.S. was trying to trade with both France and England. England angry at this fact began impressing U.S. sailors. Impressment is the act England used of kidnapping sailors and forcing them to fight in the British Royal Navy. To stop this the U.S. tried to stop trade twice, but both acts would fail and hurt the U.S. economy. Another reason for war was the attacks from Native Americans that western settlers faced. The natives were trying to stop the U.S. from expanding onto their land, so they began trade with England for weapons to stop the U.S. A famous Native American named Tecumseh would try to unite many tribes to stop westward expansion. His dream would fail at uniting his army after he lost at Tippecanoe and retreated to British held Canada. These two events would lead the war hawks, Western farmers and Southern Plantation owners, to begin to push for war. They wanted war to stop Britain from trading with the Natives and to put an end to impressment. They would be the main...

...American Foreign Policy Essay Over the time span of 1793-1825 the U.S. had to undergo serious changes. It was this time period that marked its process of becoming a national super power. It gained a strong sense of identity but the effects that came with it were that of uncontrollable influence. The nation as a whole started to stand out from the rest of the world and shine as a beacon. But it was the things the nation did during this time frame that caused this shift. America’s Foreign Policy from 1793-1825 went through many changes that made isolation impossible to retain due to the effects of attempting neutrality, economic dealings, and The War of 1812. There are some scenarios in life where attempting to prevent something only gives it greater chance of happening. When attempting neutrality through the time period of 1793-1825 this happened fairly quick. The Neutrality Proclamation made by George Washington was aimed at staying neutral in terms of the French Revolution. Though this is what the proclamation was primarily focused towards it was neutrality overall that it was really encouraging. Washington wanted the U.S. to stay uninvolved and build up our resources first to become a well-developed nation. While this approach may have been able to work in theory it didn’t take into account the peoples and pro-war opinions. In document A, a passage from The Neutrality Proclamation by George Washington it states, “I have therefore thought fit by these presents to declare...

...APUSH Study Guide 8 A weak Confederacy and the Constitution, 1776-1790 Themes/Constructs: The federal Constitution represented a moderately conservative reaction against the democratilizing effects of the Revolution and the Articles of Confederation. The American Revolution was not a radical transformation like the French or Russian revolutions, but it produced political innovations and some social change in the direction of greater equality and democracy. The American Revolution did not overturn the social order, but it did produce substantial changes in social customs, political institutions, and ideas about society and government. Among the changes were the separation of church and state in some places, the abolition of slavery in the North, written political constitutions, and a shift in political power from the eastern seaboard toward the frontier. The first weak government, the Articles of Confederation, was unable to exercise real authority, although it did successfully deal with the western lands issue. The Confederation’s weakness in handling foreign policy, commerce and the Shays Rebellion spurred the movement to alter the Articles. Instead of revising the Articles, the well-off delegates to the Constitutional Convention created a charter for a whole new government. In a series of compromises, the convention produced a plan that provided for a vigorous central government, a strong executive, the protection for property, while still upholding republican...

...Timeline 1 1) Describe three different American Indian cultures prior to colonization. Pre-history to 1600s The Hopewell tribe was mound builders that were located in the Midwest and even today their mounds can be seen in the states where they resided, such as Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and more. They could be considered some of the first traders in the region as they had a very large trade route, with materials coming from across other portions of the United States and Canada. The climate was the reason for this tribe’s decline rather than the colonists that arrived to the New World. The Iroquois were located in what is now the state of New York. This was actually a group of tribes that were united under a league that had been established by a political alliance after tribal warring. Their system of government with chosen leaders called sachems is considered the model for which the American government is currently built upon. The Haidas was a tribe that was located in the Northwest Pacific Coast across the country far from where the colonists first landed. This tribe being so close to the ocean, centered more of tribal life around the waters. They were fishermen and artists. This is one of the tribes that created totem poles that many individuals associate with Native American culture today. 2) The effects of British colonization on the Native Americans. 1600’s The British colonization on the Native Americans had a...

...U.S. was destined to expand westward. The people of America slowly began to believe in the idea of moving westward and taking the land that belonged to Americans and Americans only. The belief in Manifest Destiny was definitely, the most important factor underlying the U.S. foreign policy, and the American Growth. At first people were hesitant about moving westward, but overtime people slowly accepted it and realized its importance. Since they were taking over land that technically didn’t belong to them, new tariffs and policies had to be passed by congress. This is the time period when the U.S. really grew. The idea was first proclaimed by John O’ Sullivan, whom wrote a paper called “The Great Nation of Futurity”. In O'Sullivan's essay, he wrote and believed that America was and is supposed to expand from sea to shining sea. The Manifest Destiny movement hurt many people though such as Indians, Mexicans, and ironically U.S. Citizens themselves. Everyone lost their homelands and many people became upset. Civilians were becoming angered so in order to calm down the citizens, the U.S. Government had to establish new policies and protective...

Essay In 250 to 300 words, explain how the following ideas and ideals influenced the events and motivated the participants in the French Revolution: • Liberty • Equality • Brotherhood • Hubris • Fiscal irresponsibility • Democracy • Technology The ideas of fiscal irresponsibility and hubris are hand in hand when it comes to the French Revolution because the country was in a state of financial crisis thanks to their King, Louis XV and continuing under the rule of his son Louis XVI. Funds were lacking and loans were in place with interest rates and fees that were going to be near impossible to pay back which threatened the structure of the countries financials. Taxation was going to be the only out in the eyes of the King but needed aristocracy approval. The people began to lose faith and felt as if the King was attacking their liberty with his tax exemptions which were unfair, and lead them down the path in search of civil liberties, equality of the people and ridding of the ranks, and a want for endorsed democracy. Eventually all titles were abolished and the declaration of the rights of man and citizen was bestowed upon the people. The king however was just part of the problem, with foreign war and the fiscal crisis, and then inflation as well. The idea of having a democracy gave all men a change to be declared free and equal.

...which Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and federaltive development of self government entrusted to us. It is right such as that of the tree to the space of air and the earth suitable for the full expansion of its principle and destiny of growth." 1 The principle behind Manifest Destiny has been around since Christopher Columbus first discovered the Caribbean. Many years after Columbus' discovery of the New World, Europe and Mexico were wanting to expand, and control new territories in North America. This want for new territory, would cause boundary issues and fears to arise soon after the Revolutionary War with the fledgling government of the United States. These boundary issues and fears would help the supporters, who wanted to expand the United States borders, to push for acquiring new territories in North America. Not long after the Revolutionary War, the government of the United States began to want to expand into territories that were occupied by European and Native American peoples. Using a Doctrine of Discovery, which was an international law that was started in the 15th century and was used in Colonial America, any land that was discovered or found was turned over to the United...
