Ch. 1 Summary
Lesson 1
1. Native Americans based their culture and diets upon the environment within which they settles. So, for example, Navajo people settled in farming villages. Apache and Sioux people were nomadic hunters. The Pomo trapped small game and gathered acorns. The Inuit and the Aleut hunted sea mammals, polar bears, and caribou.
2. Portugal, Spain, France, and England wanted to find a water route to Asia that would bypass Italian and Arab merchants who had control of goods from Asia. Spain explored for gold. French explorers were in Canada to trade fur. The English viewed overseas colonies as sources of raw materials and markets for English goods.
Lesson 2
3. The Federalists wanted a national bank and a strong national government. The Democratic Republicans opposed both ideas and were generally in favor of keeping the bulk of governing power in the states rather than the federal government.
4. The British regularly seized American ships at sea and often practiced impressment, a legalized form of kidnapping that forced people into military service. American resentment over the practice was a source of diplomatic tension between the United States and Great Britain and a factor leading to the War of 1812.
Lesson 3
5. The debate about whether slavery would be allowed in new states that came into the Union led to the Missouri Compromise. In 1819 there were 11 free states and 11 slave states. By admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, the balance in the Senate was maintained.
6. The railroad allowed people and goods to be moved more rapidly across great distances. This allowed businesses to sell their products in places other than just their local regions. The railroad also led to more people settling in the West.
Lesson 4
7. Manifest Destiny was the idea that the United States was destined to reach across the continent. By adding the land south of the 49th parallel, the nation would span from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Pacific.
8. Following the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, some people settling in the territory wanted to elect a pro-slavery legislature and other settlers were in favor of an antislavery legislature. This territorial civil war earned the region the nickname of “Bleeding Kansas.”
Lesson 5
9. Disadvantages: Southern banks held few cash reserves; many Southerners refused to pay when the Confederacy enacted direct taxation; there was inflation after the Confederacy was forced to print paper money; the Southern economy was not as diverse as the Northern economy; many Southern planters were in debt; and the Union controlled the national treasury.
10. President Lincoln felt that slavery was morally wrong and wanted to attach Union soldiers’ sacrifices to a larger, moral cause.
