Chapter 9:

1. Reform efforts and their impact on society

Jessica, think of it this way... in the 1830's and 1840's many individuals believed that they could improve the world around them. This is a lot like the 1960's. Improving public education, demanding and gaining more opportunities for women, modeling utopian societies, reforming and re-educating prisoners, helping provide aid and support to mentally handicapped, using religion to find meaning in the world around us, fighting the enslavement of others (abolition), etc. were all important efforts to change America. Their impacts were huge, shaping a new generation of Americans who were not born in the Revolutionary period and were affected deeply by the industrial and social changes from that time. Increased political participation, increased government involvement, increased female empowerment, gaining support for anti-slavery efforts, etc. are all examples of some of the impacts.

cult of domesticity

The cult of Domesticity was the belief that a women's place was in the home, doing housework, raising children who shouldn't be working unless necessary, not doing any commercial work inside or outside the home but were free to do church groups and other charitable endeavors. They were expected to be calm, pious, and hardworking.

Darthmouth College v. Woodward, 1819, was a struggle for private colleges to stay private and not to become state universities. Daniel Webster argued for Darthmouth College, saying that the contract that was signed for it was valid and non-negotiateable and could not be changed. Darthmouth College got rid of its president, so the state wanted to take over so the state legislature could be in control of it. The court sided with Darthmouth College, and this case ensured that the government could not interfere with private contracts.

Palmer v. Mulligan

Sturges Vs Crownshield

"In Sturges v. Crowninshield that a New York law allowing debtors to repudiate their debts was unconstitutional."

Basically, New York was allowing citizens in debt to ignore their debts but the court found it Unconstitutional.

"The case of Palmer v. Mulligan, decided by the New York State Supreme Court in 1805, laid down the principle that property ownership included the right to develop property for business purposes. Land was increasingly defined as a productive asset for exploitation, not merely subsistence, as earlier judicial rulings had suggested."Basically, this case allowed people who owned land to be able to develop it for business if they wanted.

Walter · Veteran Member

To becca's post on describing urban class structure and compare it to rural class structure.

Urban class structure was very different from rural class structure. In the cities, or urban areas, there was a much more defined and obvious than in the rural areas. In the urban class structure the rich showed off with nice clothes, lived in big houses in the city, and lived in beautiful neighborhoods. They were easy to pick out on the street, because they dressed much fancier, and more "in style" than the working classes in the cities. Most people in the city who werent rich would wear basic clothes, or work clothes. The rich would wear dresses and suits.

In the rural areas though the class structure was not so obvious. Since almost everybody in the rural areas were farmers, you couldnt tell how well off someone was unless they told you. A farmer could be extremely rich but not want to show it off, so he had a nice house (nothing extravagent) and would probably still do the same work any other farmer would do. If they were rich in the rural areas though one key sign was slaves. If someone had slaves it meant that they had money!$$$

Hope this helped

The Cherokee did everything they could to try to assimilate. They started practicing slavery, holding property privately, and learning English, among other things. They also declared war on the Creek to try to help please the U.S.
The Shawnee and Creek fought back. Tecumseh and his brother amassed a large army at Kithtippecanoe for the Shawnee. There was a battle between them and American forces led by William Henry Harrison. The whites won, and Kithtippecanoe burned. The Creek tried to fight back settlers from their lands in the South, but were eventually beaten by a combination of American forces and Cherokees.

This was a question of federal power and the power of the judicial branch because at the last minute John Adams appointed a bunch of federal judges to the federal circuit right before he left and Thomas Jefferson took over. Jefferson attempted to fire some of these judges, who were called 'midnight appointments'. The result of the ensuing case before the Supreme Court invalidated the Judiciary Act of 1789, which set up the court structure below the Supreme Court. This was the first time the Supreme Court struck down a federal law. It was a major precedent.

kay... well one way of indian survival was to try to assimilate into society. the Cherokees were known for trying this. they made houses like the whites, wore normal clothes, converted to christianity and many more. another strategy was to fight back. some indians didnt want to give up their culture, like the Seminoles, and they decided to declare war with America. other indians did neither and just did whatever the government told them to do. they just went along and moved to indian reservations.

The Treaty of Greenville was signed by a coalition of Native Americans and the United States. This was after Native American defeat at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The terms of the treaty stated that the Native Americans were given $20,000 worth of goods, and would give the United States large portions of Ohio. It also ended up establishing the Greenville Treaty line, which was a boundary between Native American land and the land allowed to white settlers.

Chapter 9:
-Indian survival strategies and conflicting goals of the federal Indian Policy

Kevin, the conflicting goals were very conflicting... think about it. In the past, during Washington's administration, the federal government dealt with Native tribes through negotiation of annuities (annual payments to tribes, like food and medicine and a little bit of money) for lots and lots of land. In the 1820's and 1830's and 1840's, settlers moved into the 'west' in enormous numbers, invalidating some of the previous treaties that had been signed in good faith. By the 1870's the US had abrogated (broken) over 440 of its own treaties. We also encouraged tribes to fight against one another. Think of how Zinn analyzes the Cherokee involvement in eliminating the Creek presence at Horseshoe Bend...

Gabriel Prosser, a slave in Virginia, planned to lead a revolt in Richmond. He amassed 1,000 men and helped make weapons in the slave blacksmith shop he worked at. They planned to attack on August 30th, but were delayed by a torrential rainstorm. This also gave some non-sympathetic slaves time to alert their masters, leading to the rebellion being crushed before it began. Gabriel and more than 20 of his supporters were hanged at the order of Governor James Monroe.

The goverment also played a role in the economic development of this period. Some ways were the Embargo Act in 1807 by Jefferson and the tariffs of 1818, 1828, 1832 but not exactly sure on the year for the last one.

Ok, so the black workforce was crucial in both rural and urban areas. In rural areas, blacks were the major workforce on cotton and rice plantations. In urban areas, black women had jobs such as washerwoman, cooks, maids, etc. and many riots actually broke out between irish immigrants and blacks over competition for jobs.

The preemption act involved settlement of western lands. When settlers would move out west to survey land, they would settle on a piece of land although they were not supposed to because the government had not surveyed it and auctioned it off. The preemption act allowed these settlers to stake their claim in the western lands before the government had auctioned it off.

Chapter 9

Monroe Doctrine

Brandon, the Monroe Doctrine was a speech given in 1823 by James Monroe but the groundwork for the whole 'doctrine' was done by John Q. Adams, who was Sec of State at the time. It was basically a statement against European intervention in the Americas, but it really has to be examined in context. Latin American countries had been declaring their independence from Spain for years. Mexico also in 1821 just became independent. Napoleon's wars were over and the Congress of Vienna was redefining power in Europe. Lots of Eurpoean powers were beginning to industrialize and get 'hungry' for the human and natural resources of Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Monroe wanted to draw a line against foreign influence in our hemisphere, but remember... America didn't have the power to stop a major European power. Our forces were tiny comparitively. We also wanted to stop Russian encroachment in the west coast too. The Russians had forts as far south as San Fran. John Q Adams arranged, with the help of the British, to draw that line in the Atlantic and the Oregon territory in exchange for American cotton to parts of the British empire and lower tarrifs for them in the future.

It's very important to know. Lots of important stuff above. Let me know if anyone has questions...

The Pre- Emption Act was federal passed in Congress in response to the demands of Western Land... So it states that u can only claim as much 160 Acres and if you only had been living there for more than 14 months.

mfloyd24, these were the main survival strategies-
1. The Creek and Shawnee Indians fought back and attacked the settlers when they trampled on their own land
2. The Cherokee unified their own lands and eventually assimilated into the American culture

That's only two strategies.
A third would be the path of assimilation the Iroquois took, in which Handsome Lake mixed their beliefs with that of the white man, and taught a combination of both's priniciples and religeon that gave hope to the Iroquois for the future even as they integrated into the U.S.

can someone explain the battle of fallen timbers????

The Battle of Fllen Timbers was a battle for control of the Northwest territory between the U.S and the Indians. The outcome led the Treaty of Greenville which gave us Ohio.

Yeah, and it was a major blow to Native American tribes in that area, even ones who were peacefully trying to negotiate with the US. It's like the problems with the Paxton Boys after the French and Indian War... peaceful tribes get stepped on because many Americans lump them all together in their rush to take land.

Effects of the war of 1812:
The United States did gain a measure of international respect for managing to withstand the British Empire. The morale of the citizens was high because they had fought one of the great military powers of the world and managed to survive, which increased feelings of nationalism; the war has often been called the "Second War of Independence." The war also contributed to the demise of the Federalist Party, which had opposed the war.

- Treaty of Greenville

In attempt to save themselves from being moved from their land, the Shawnee tribes attacked the Ohio, Inidana, and Western Pennsylvania areas. A federal army was sent by Washington and they won a decisive victory in the Battle of Fallen Timbers. Shortly after, in the Treaty of Greenville, the Shawnee chiefs ceded the southern two-thirds of Ohio. That cession opened the heart of the Old Northwest to white control.

Shawnee chieftans had been attacking settlements to defend their lands for years. Trying to end their rebellion, President Washington sent General Anthony "Mad Anthony" Wayne and a force of American soldiers. The Battle of Fallen Timbers was the deciding engagement in the attacks between the groups. This led to the Treaty of Greenville, which ceded a large stretch of Native American lands in Ohio in an attempt to satisfy the government.

Battle of Fallen timbers was in 1794. Led by general "Mad" Anthoney Wayne, American troupes fought the Native confederacy led by Miami chief Little Turtle and the Americans won. The result of the battle was the Treaty of Grenville in 1795 which opened up ohio, michigan, Illinois, and Wiscosin to settlement. In summery, the battle of fallen timbers helped take indian land so America could continue it's westward expansion.

Chapter 10
-Sturges v. Crowninshield
-Preemption Act

Preemption Act: This was passed by the U.S. Congress which allowed 'squatter's in Western states the right to preempt land, of in other words occupy the land to establish the right to buy it. It allowed settlers to stake a claim of 160 acres, and after fourteen months they were allowed to purchase it from the government.

Sturges v. Crowninshield: This case argued wether or not bankrupcy laws violated the Constitution. This case continued into Ogden vs. Saunders. The ruling was that states could discharge debts, as long as they did not interfere with contracts made before the law was enacted.

second great awakening

The Second Great Awakening was a reform of religion in America in that Americans were beginning to increase their membership in new religious groups but also change the way that they viewed the role of religion in their lives. Those are some of the main points about the 2nd Great Awakening. Religion became a vehicle for change - a way for people to address some of the evils and problems in the world around them. Many became motivated by the demonstrative powers of religious belief, like instant healings and miracles in daily life. Others, like the Mormons, became driven by their beliefs to find a place where they could express their faith without persecution. To learn more about some of the areas in the country, learn about the 'Burned Over District' in upper New York state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burned-over_district

Police Forces

After a race riot pitting blacks against whites and an immigration riot pitting immigrant Irish against "natives," the leaders of the city of Philadelphia and other cities who watched what happened saw the need to expand and improve upon the minimal police forces they had to try to prevent such events from happening again. This is partially a result of the growth of cities and the inevitable unrest because of it.

1. Explain the process of establishing a family farm on the midwestern frontier.

A family would have to move to a wooded area (becuase they believed that the most heavily wooded areas were the most fertile) and then start building their house. While it was being built, however, the family would have to sleep outside. Then they would have to start the process of clearing the land for farming. This would take years and years for most farms had at least 50 acres or more of land. Eventually, the family would would harvest their crop and sell off the extra that they did not need for manufactured goods.

Women's sphere is the area where women should be active in.
The women's sphere was the private sphere, the women ruled the home, doing housework and caring for children. The men's sphere was the public sphere, they were responislbe for financially supporting the family.
However, this did not mean that women never left the house and men didn't know their kids, only that women focused on the maintaining the home and men on supporting it.

Once in power, the Jeffersonian Republicans retreated from many of the positions they had held as the opposition party.

Can someone explain this quote to me?

CEsteves · Member

The Monroe Doctrine stated that European powers were not to colonize or interfere with the newly independant states of The Americas. The United States would not mess with any of their colonies already made in the Western Hemisphere. Any attempt by a European nation to oppress or control any nation in the western hemisphere would be seen as an act of aggression and the United States would intervene.=D

Chapter 10
- New views of childhood

The idea is that children had lots of different, new, roles to play in society. Lots of kids went to work in the factories. Even more began to go to school for the first time. Kids were dragged along with their parents into new territories. Kids played a stronger role in religion. Kids were expected to become politically active. Kids were also seen as valuable economic contributors to this new market economy in ways that differed from their expected work on small farms. Kids also began to question the ideas of their parents, causing the systematic generational divides that would be scattered throughout our history, like in the 1920's and the 1960's (and even the 1990's with computer technology).
