all right good morning good afternoon good evening my intrepid a push students we are continuing with some class notes here uh regarding time period 4 1800 to 1848. most of what i'm going to be covering today is in relation to chapters 9 and 10 from your amsco readings uh you can find those on the materials and the readings folder from our google drive one thing i would like you to keep in mind okay as we go through these notes are some of the key concepts from unit 4 and i've linked all of those to the presentation itself for this project but i'm presenting some of them here for you uh for easy reference okay about the united states developing a modern democracy and so on here uh key concept 4.1 and so on keep some of these in mind as you look to employ them on our mixtape project our notes today pick up uh american politics in the wake of the andrew jackson presidency and i think we uh fairly well established uh that jackson is a fascinating man um he had a uh a interesting relationship with the constitution uh he changed american politics and it was a tough act to follow when he leaves office okay uh his vice president the one he had for a second term of course because uh calhoun had resigned is martin van buren and van buren takes office and is immediately hit with the panic of 1837 an economic depression that as i think we just talked about in class could probably really be attributed uh to jackson remember that there's kind of an economic lag uh between the impact of a policy and its implementation so jackson kills the bank in his uh in his second term and drives the us economy towards the use of uh species circular uh and that is probably the most significant factor creating this panic of 1837 for which martin van buren is left kind of um holding the bag if you will uh van buren responds with uh what is known as the divorce bill which removes government funds from the state banks um he wants to protect those funds and create an independent treasurer treasury so uh it's an interesting uh concept to protect uh federal funds of course but with that money gone there's even less credit available across the system so the divorce bill only exacerbates the negative impact of jackson's policies right as it relates to uh the bank of the united states so van buren is uh more widely given a popular disclaim uh for the panic of 1837 regardless none of it is a good look and uh van buren is going to be a single term president uh he gets trounced in the election uh by william henry harrison okay and remember we had talked about him before uh as a uh as a war hero uh battle of tippecanoe um and harrison goes on to um uh to kind of portray himself as a man of the people uh you know drinking hard cider and lives in a log cabinet wasn't true uh he's a uh kind of uh a blue-blooded virginian um but he's another kind of bar room trivia question here for the shortest tenured president ever uh some people with that reputation of him being a man of the people uh questioned his intellect uh and he wanted to demonstrate his intelligence by uh rambling on uh for hours upon hours in his inaugural address he wanted to demonstrate he was a tough man at the same time so he wore no coat in the freezing rain he caught pneumonia and he dies uh his vice president john tyler uh takes office okay john tyler had been a democrat whereas william henry harrison is a whig and i know we had talked about the political parties in class although hopefully you've read about them it's not necessarily entirely easy to understand what happens in this kind of second political party system we'll address that shortly um but uh tippecanoe and tyler too right so john tyler now takes office for william henry harrison um he uh is kind of a little bit more of a power grabber than uh perhaps uh harrison would have been a former democrat so even though he's a wig he disagrees with policy he wins no party loyalty whatsoever so he becomes another one of these uh single-term presidents so we had kind of a run right of these presidents uh ever since thomas jefferson of earning two terms in a row and then we come to uh martin van buren and uh john tyler filling out william and harry harrison's turn uh as a single term president okay so these political parties that i made reference to i want you to pay attention to the video uh that i'm going to provide for you on this slide okay and take notes as if it were class i think the video can do a better job of laying out what we're getting into on these political parties then i could you see that that would pop up here in a video that is seven minutes long all right so let's move on from there and we're going to get into the west for a moment uh the republic of texas and texas annexation okay shifting gears from politics of course now spain you'll recall had uh maintained control over all of the lands that make up present day mexico texas the american southwest new mexico arizona colorado utah california uh the whole nine all of these are this territory that becomes mexico as america begins to manifest her destiny uh more and more uh americans are immigrating into this territory the land is cheap land grants are available by the mexican government they're encouraging settlement and americans are all too happy to oblige even though it's not american territory as the anglo population increases cultural tensions really begin to rise between you know what are culturally kind of americans right and mexico uh but these americans are also kind of western kind of frontiers types they have this independent spirit that embodies what we think of today as texas right texas always kind of has this this special kind of connotation to who they are and the result of all this uh tension is the texas revolution of 1835 1836 um the end result is a uh short-lived republic of texas okay uh you'll recall here's this in these battles the battle of alamo remember the alamo and some of these it's you know famous but for our purposes uh for all intents and purposes and historical footnote more is going to come on that okay so we're gonna kind of get back to more about texan independence and and well conflict between anglos as it were and mexico okay meanwhile back east uh we have and in time period four is interesting because we have so much going on but the geography is also changing so much that we really need to consider not just okay american history but we have kind of america out west we have this texas stuff going on we have the northeast we have the south there's so much going on uh in in terms of not just the time period but in terms of regional geography at the same time that also plays out in some of the regional economies right we had talked about that previously the industrial revolution and how that affected what was happening in the north much more significantly than in the south so we had talked about all of that right in a previous lecture the industrial revolution had begun really kind of before uh its impact in america had had begun uh in europe okay uh before the 1800s in america farmers and and manufacturers produced everything by hand um after the industrial revolution when we when if we could fast forward for a second or two the turn of the century at 1900 right machines replace hand tools we have steam power replacing animal power um there's a lot of farming uh still but a lot of it is mechanized right uh and the economy begins to function more and more on manufacturing so we're going to see a vast great impact on american culture and uh economic factors as a result of this industrial revolution uh that we have to consider during this time period and and into time period five and six for sure um mechanization is a big piece of the industrial revolution it's just it incredibly uh increases uh productivity okay the speed uh at which companies are able to produce goods um you uh you'll see that the economy really takes off as a result remember that uh the embargo act uh not only hampered uh american exports but on the flip side forced america to depend upon domestic production kind of the same thing happens right the impact of tariffs uh and we talked about the tariff of 1816 the tariff of abominations but it hurts foreign uh producers and it might hurt domestic customers consumers but it benefits american manufacturing okay and so uh america becomes more self-reliant during this age of the industrial revolution uh samuel slater memorizes uh plans of machinery in england and escapes to the us uh by 1791 we have machinery uh in the united states okay um the sewing machine is invented in 1846 the cotton gin uh takes effect during this time uh makes the production of cotton much uh more readily available much cheaper cleaner uh and has uh untold uh impact on the american economy both in the north and the south it ties to the south uh to cotton production um but the north it ties the north to the south through their purchase of this cotton in the northern textile factories uh and so the cotton gin is incredibly important um [Music] and uh and i think could be uh in some fashion at least provide some uh some rich opportunity for your project examination meanwhile the industrial revolution also takes hold when we consider advances in transportation and even going back right um when we talk about uh the nationalism in the week of the war of 1812 manifested through henry clay's american system right there were three portions we had already talked about the tariff of 1816 uh we've talked i think at length about um the recharter of the bank of the united states and the defunding of the bank of the united states but essentially this uh nationalistic investment in the american economy that is a big part uh of time period four uh and the third prong of henry clay's american system is investment in infrastructure and transportation for the purposes of as long as we are investing in manufacturing right and agriculture for that matter moving goods from region to region and needing moving goods for the purposes of export uh that requires an investment in infrastructure in bridges roads canals railroads all right railroads are a huge story to be told so i want to take a look at um highways steamboats railroads uh communication okay transportation markets uh clinton's big ditch let's get into it transportation uh prior to time period four was terribly slow and insufficient okay uh there was essentially no transportation network to speak of um during this time period we have some uh creation of some highways or turnpikes hard surfaced roads that were initially suff uh funded by by private investment so when we think of the term turnpike all right and you probably think of new jersey the new jersey turnpike um what that implies necessarily is a uh a toll highway okay so this hard surface road was largely funded by uh private investors if not states rather than the federal government right and uh in order to get on a turnpike you had to pay a toll and they would literally turn a pike like lift a gate for you to get on there uh and so there becomes uh the you know these national roads the lancaster turnpike and so on we also have uh the uh creation and uh the expansion of steamboats um boats that can sail uh without wind or without the power of the water itself so now we can sail up river for instance okay so the mississippi river as i say here really is uh america's first major north south highway we can now transport imports and exports or from region to region domestically all the way from new orleans all the way up to chicago vice versa current and win be darned okay um and so this idea of uh moving goods right moving and and when we consider uh you know many of you may have had me for geography and we talk about the five themes of geography one of them being movement it's the movement of goods people services and ideas so this investment in american infrastructure is huge both highways and steamboats um clinton's big ditch is the erie canal um and uh some looked at the uh the erie canal as if it was um a a folly a waste of time a waste of money uh but what we see in retrospect is what you actually do is you create access from the atlantic ocean all the way to the great lakes uh you could sail goods people ideas you know services um from the atlantic ocean up the hudson river to the erie canal all the way out to the great lakes and now you can even get into chicago down in new orleans it's this massive massive uh program of infrastructure uh and what we also see if you ever look at like a map of new york you're gonna see you know obviously of new york city where 90 of the population lives uh upstate new york is relatively all things considered sparsely populated but most of the cities in upstate new york you'll find approximate you know a certain distance within the erie canal as the erie canal travels from east to west out towards the great lakes so it sparks a building frenzy in upstate new york it sparks a building frenzy uh in in the shipping industry and it sparks a building frenzy of other canals in our nation railroads are a massive massive story of time period four uh first introduced in 1828 fairly inefficient but over the next 30 years they are constructed across the country uh three quarters of the railroads are built in the american north right because we've been talking for a while now about these regional economies and it's incredibly notable right that these regional economies are going to play a role right with the south being agricultural uh the north being a manufacturing based economy that's going to play a role when we get to the civil war guys well railroads are deemed more necessary and more important where more manufacturing takes place and where larger population centers are beginning to build up as a result of that because there are more jobs in manufacturing so three quarters of the railroads are built in the american north um some people who invest in the canal see railroads as a threat and they try to restrict it but they can't you know that that uh that train has left the stop as it goes okay uh so rails uh are soon become responsible for carrying people on a cargo across uh the nation particularly in the north much more so uh than canals or even highways um railroads are uh in terms not just for the railroad itself right which includes uh obviously job creation um but for what they do the impact of railroads cannot be underestimated uh between 1800 and 1848. meanwhile uh as it pertains to the movement of ideas we see um a lot of advancement in communication um samuel morse 1837 invites the invents uh the the telegraph okay uh in 1858 now this kind of blows my mind right in 1858 which i know we kind of consider as like ancient history a cable is pulled across the atlantic ocean from newfoundland from canada they've granted the far eastern reaches of canada nova scotia type area right all the way to ireland 1858 it allows for instant cross-atlantic communication um it does die in three weeks but new cables are laid uh and i don't know i i find that kind of mind-blowing that we think of this as ancient history and all of a sudden think of how far we have come right uh as a nation during this time period from the the age of jefferson from essentially kind of uh you know we see in the john adams film right he's hopping on a horse-drawn carriage to uh to get to philadelphia now we're pulling cables across the atlantic um out west the pony express kind of tells a sentimental story of of communication i think uh you know as little kids kind of playing cowboys right um we think of the pony express and moving mail across the west it actually only survived 18 months but it endures as an image right um horse-drawn carriages still exist uh particularly in the south and out west um where uh that's the primary means of transportation because again three-quarter of the railroads are laid up north um up north again uh in the factories right uh these are where the jobs are these are what we're beginning to witness here guys is in large part i know we've talked right about like uh you know new york and philadelphia and boston but really we're seeing kind of the the birth of the city uh which will take on a whole new meaning of course uh when uh the industrial revolution expands
nto what we're going to call the gilded age around the turn of the century uh in subsequent time periods um but a lot of americans are employed in the manufacturing industry in factories particularly up north including uh women uh women and then later on we're gonna take a look at child labor um so uh understand right that prior to the industrial revolution uh most goods are produced kind of on uh on a craft level you know small shops there's cottage industry uh the movement to the american factory is huge um although it does require uh long hours low wages poor working conditions child labor um women uh begin to get involved in labor uh but they have very limited uh economic opportunities okay um oftentimes there's this uh associated with this time period this notion of the cult of domesticity uh that uh women should be you know servants teachers nurses um they begin to gain some access into this manufacturing economy and of course that's going to continue to evolve so again once again we see kind of uh the seeds at least of a lot of change taking place here uh that certainly is the story when we consider uh immigration uh massive massive and rapid and significant uh immigration and growth um really if we want to kind of book end time period for 1800 1848 from 1790 to 1860 understand that the number of states had grown from 13 to 33. population had increased uh from less than 4 million to over 31 million people and this is just in 70 years um as i said earlier a lot of that population is absorbed by the cities where the jobs are right um but it comes with a cost right uh that there's a lot of urban problems uh america is not necessarily again from a infrastructure standpoint not necessarily um [Music] prepared uh for the problems associated with that kind of growth okay um so we have uh you know there's a lot of um sewage trash and rats garbage disease most of the growth is of course from immigration uh immigration skyrockets and it's typically from areas uh like ireland germany this is where we see ireland go through the infamous potato famine in 1845 a democratic revolution collapses in germany in 1848 and as a result uh we're gonna see um because these immigrants are a little bit different from uh the anglo immigrants of the past of of just the english right and uh and every time we see an american history a demographic change in immigration we see some domestic backlash all right that the latest immigrants are not always welcomed into this notion of an american melting pot this is again another concept that we see seeds planted of that we want to explore a lot further when we get to the turn of the next century in 40 50 years here um but we see an element of it here with the creation of the no nothing party so this is a political party uh that grows uh during uh really about the 1840s um it's uh due to a rise in nativism a uh a favoritism right for those who had already been in america american of uh kind of more english ancestry um protestant as opposed to uh the catholics coming from ireland and uh the know nothing start out as a secret society and they become a political party what does the know nothing mean well when they were a secret society if somebody had asked if you were a member of the know nothing you know if you were a member of that you would say well i know nothing okay um they kind of come out of the closet as it were and we see the creation of the no nothing political party to give you some at least one kind of uh visual representation of what we're talking about here in terms of population growth um you can see between again from 1790 to 1860 we grow from about 3.1 million whites uh and non-whites uh population um slaves and indians less than a million so under four million total to growing towards over 31 million and the growth of the non-white population um grows exponentially in raw numbers uh although it decreases right as a percentage basis but we are seeing some significant uh demographic shifts in american history uh over these you know 40 50 60 70 years again i want you to keep in mind a lot of our key concepts all right that will be available for you to explore on your project as we look at uh some of the facts and the figures and the trends taking place uh in time period four um again we opened up with uh the political scene in the wake of andrew jackson we run into what for all intents and purposes could be uh qualified as some fairly inconsequential american presidents uh at least considered in the shadow of the giants that were uh you know thomas jefferson james madison james monroe andrew jackson and so on uh and then we got of course into the industrial revolution innovations and technology agriculture commerce right transportation how this transforms the american economy um i think in particular regard uh right that the uh industrial revolution had a greater impact on the american north keep that in mind than it did in the american south although uh the impact of the cotton gin in the american south um is incredibly important as well we see throughout time period four right in terms of foreign affairs key concept 4.3 uh significant growth of america as a world power as an economic power uh and as a political power so um some fascinating stuff taking place in some really significant and rapid change taking place during time period four uh i would like you to watch one more video please uh uh about the industrial revolution immigration labor transportation i won't click on it here for you guys to see at home but you can pause and watch this video uh this is from a mini series called the men who built america um and so it's kind of a docudrama if you will but it's really well done and um i think it's nearly impossible to overstate the impact of uh the industrial revolution the rapid changes of immigration uh the changes in american labor force and transportation during this time period so please check this out uh if memory serves this is about a six minute long video okay all right if you're back from the video now um i hope you've got some more rich material to consider for your mixtape project my reminder about that today is to make sure you follow the format that i laid out for you you're going to discuss and you see with the hover here that this is linked back to your project sheet uh but for each of your five events you're gonna say what event you're talking about uh clearly this is not a time period four event this is time period seven in fact but you're going to list what event you're talking about the song the a push theme the key concept a synopsis of the song and how you connect the lyric and remember for uh at least two of your songs uh you are going to provide both a document which you are going to identify as a primary or secondary source and then you are going to analyze it appropriately using a hip hop sheet for the primary document and a secondary source argument deconstruction template for that secondary source that's what this one here would be okay so please follow that format make it simple simple it's uh it's laid out for you there okay uh remember that the final piece we're gonna be working on is you have to come up with a an album cover uh i've just put up uh a couple of great famous uh examples of some album covers here for you today um perhaps my favorite of all time shakedown street by the grateful dead um but have some creativity employ something uh for you know full credit of uh how you can uh get creative have some fun and incorporate some history into your album cover don't forget to do that all right um and uh and i'll talk a little bit more about how we're gonna do the art gallery presentation of this uh a little bit later okay but that's all i got for you for class today i hope you enjoyed the videos i hope you got something out of the notes and i really hope that you see there's some incredibly rich history and rapid rapid changes taking place during time period four that's all we got for you today guys thank you so much take care
