UNIT 3 Traces From 1824 to 1850

1. The Industrial Revolution made life easier for most
Americans. Explain how each specific invention helped a
specific region of the USA. Include the inventor and year
of invention.
New technologies developed in the North America revolutionized
transportation and communications. One of those is the Railroad
locomotive, Tom Thumb was the first American Locomotive Railroads.
It transformed the nation, allowing people and goods to move quickly
from city to city and helping to encourage settlement in the West.
Communications improved as well. American inventor Samuel F.B.
Morse Began work on the telegraph in 1832 and developed the Morse
code for sending messages. By 1844 the first long-distance telegraph
connected Washington D.C to Baltimore. The telegraph soon proved a
tremendous success. Morse received funds to extend his line to
additional cities, and telegraph companies began popping up across
the country.
The cotton gin is one of the most important inventions of the Industrial
Revolution. Is a machine created to remove cotton from its seeds and it
was invented by Eli Whitney on 1794. After Eli Whitney invented the
cotton gin, processing cotton became much easier increasing the
number of slaves needed to pick the cotton. This re-opened the
arguments for continuing slavery. The cotton gin made the cotton
industry of the south explode.
2. The Election of 1824 and 1828 were prime examples of

Sectionalism running wild in US. Trace the main players of
the 1824 election from their emergence on the National
scene to their run for the POTUS. Explain how these men
sided with and against each other. Discuss if it was
political or sectional in nature.
J. Quincy Adams was the son of the second president. He was born in
Quincy, Massachusetts. He worked in some capacity with each of the
first five presidents and, with James Monroe he was Secretary of State.
He is considered one of the most accomplished Secretary of State of all
times. Adams ran against war hero Andrew Jackson and Congressman
Henry Clay for the 1824 presidency where Adams won. He tried to get
a law passed to raise tariffs and help American businesses, but the
Southern states were against it. The law never passed. He also tried to
set up a national transportation system of roads and canals. However,
this too failed in congress. Andrew Jackson was born on March 15,
1767. In 1796 Jackson became Tennessee's first member of the U.S.
House of Representatives. He would also serve as Senator for
Tennessee. He was known as a war hero from the War of 1812. Jackson
first ran for president in 1824. He lost the election to John Quincy
Adams despite receiving more votes in the election. In 1828 Jackson
ran again. This time he won the election! After becoming president
Jackson assumed more power than any president before him. He
fought against the national bank saying that it helped the rich and hurt
the poor. He also insisted that states were required to follow federal
laws.
Henry Clay was a 19th century U.S. politician who served in Congress
and as secretary of state under President John Quincy Adams. He was
born on April 12, 1777. HE was The Great Compromiser. because his
skills of negotiation and compromise proved invaluable in helping to
hold the country together for the first half of the 19th century. He later
served as a member of the treaty delegation that negotiated the Treaty
of Ghent, playing an important role in helping to end the war and
protect American interests. Clay never became president, and his Whig
party disappeared shortly after his death. But its successor, the
Republican Party, put many features of the American System into
operation.
When Adams won the presidency, he appointed Clay as his secretary of
state. With neither Jackson nor Adams able to secure enough electoral
votes, the election was thrown to the House of Representatives. Clay
supported Adams with the understanding that he'd have a place in his
cabinet.
3. Trace the Tariff of Abomination to the Nullification Crisis

and through the Compromise Tariff to include the Force
bill. Explain how each side feels about each piece and why
it is so important to them. Concentrate on the sectional
divide.
The Tariff of 1828, called Tariff of Abomination, was a

protective tariff passed by the Congress of the United States on 1828.
It was created to protect industry in the northern United States.
The main purpose of the tariff was to protect industries in the North
America which were pushed off business by low-priced
imported goods . To protect them they putted a tax on them. The
South, was hurt by having to pay higher prices on goods the region did
not produce, and because made it difficult for the British to pay for the
cotton they imported from the South. The reaction in the South, would
lead to the Nullification Crisis that began in late 1832.
4. The American Culture was greatly influenced by art,

music, and literature. Religion and Abolition pushed
Americans into camps of opposing sides. Identify literary
works which supported one side work, and the reaction to
it nationally. Investigate the Utopian Movement in
America. Formulate a statement of
belief regarding these movements,
what was their purpose and why they
ultimately fail. Leap ahead to modern
American and give at least two
examples of Utopian Societies gone
wrong. Lastly investigate the art of
the time. What was it focused on and
why do we remember it.
The Utopian societies were people who
believed they could separate themselves from
society and create perfect communities. Few examples of them were
The Transcendentalists , The Shakers , Oneidas and The New
Farmers . The most important reason why they failed as societies was
because their kind of societies couldnt fit with the US government and
Laws. They thought they could be perfect without the US government
and make their own, but this was the reason why their societies felt
apart.
There were few artists in the US Industrial Revolution who, through art,
share their ideas on American society. An example of artist is George
Catlin. George Catlin was born on July 26, 1796, in Pennsylvania.
George began painting portraits in 1823. We remember him because
he recorded Native American culture in his sketches and portraits.
5. Manifest Destiny (MD) involved Texas, Oregon, Mexico, and California. Please
explain this idea of MD and its national origins. Then examine how this
simple idea leads to sectional tensions. Give examples even if you have to go
all the way to 1855.
Manifest Destiny is the name for the attitude during the 19th century period of
American expansion, stretch from coast to coast. This new movement helped
Native American removal, fuel western settlement and war with Mexico. The
name was given from John L. OSullivan .
