...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...

...Betsy Ross started an upholstery business during the course of the revolutionary war. During the war, she had created blankets, military supplies, tents and flags for Washington’s Continental Army. She gained a solid reputation for her sewing and she was hence given credit for making the first banner because of it. There is doubt according to historians as to whether or not Ross actually materialized the primary US flag, but according to the testimony of her children, grandchildren, and friends- it had been accepted that she did materialize the first flag. Aside from that, nobody questions that Betsy was acquaintances with General Washington. Ross’s child once said that both Betsy and the Washington family attended church in her hometown of Philadelphia. It was rumored that Washington requested her to embroider the ruffles for his...

...To The Shores of Tripoli Muslim foes. Kidnappings. How the Barbary Wars foreshadowed things to come By CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS Within days of his March 1801 inauguration as the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson ordered a naval and military expedition to North Africa, without the authorization of Congress, to put down regimes involved in slavery and piracy. The war was the first in which the U.S. flag was carried and planted overseas; it saw the baptism by fire of the U.S. Marine Corps—whose anthem boasts of action on "the shores of Tripoli"—and it prefigured later struggles with both terrorism and jihad. The Barbary States of North Africa—Algiers, Tunis, Morocco and Tripoli (today's Libya)—had for centuries sustained themselves by preying on the maritime commerce of others. Income was raised by direct theft, the extortion of bribes or "protection" and the capture of crews and passengers to be used as slaves. The historian Robert Davis, in his book Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy, 1500-1800, estimates that as many as 1.25 million Europeans and Americans were enslaved. The Barbary raiders—so called because they were partly of Berber origin—struck as far north as England and Ireland. It appears, for example, that almost every inhabitant of the Irish village of Baltimore was carried off in 1631. Samuel Pepys and Daniel Defoe...

...Javier Mojica HIST 156 A402 Dr. Hyung Dae Lee September 9, 2014 Thomas Jefferson: An American Icon Thomas Jefferson is one of the most important historical icons in American history. His legacy not only resides in his actions during his presidency, but also in his contributions to the nation before and after his terms in office. One of his most famous contributions to the nation was his role in drafting the Declaration of Independence that served as a formal declaration for the U.S. to separate from Britain and become a separate nation. It was because of this document that the U.S is the nation it is today and it will serve as a permanent reminder of his hard work and dedication to the country. However, more is to be learned of Jefferson for his actions helped shape and change the American ways of life forever. Beginning with his election in 1800, Jefferson’s election was a landmark of world history as it was the first time that a peaceful transfer of power from one party to another in a modern republic took place. While delivering his inaugural address on March 4, 1801, Jefferson spoke to the fundamental commonalities uniting all Americans despite their partisan differences. He is quoted as saying, "Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.” He goes on to state, “We have called by different names brethren of the same principle. We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists." But what made president Jefferson's first term in office so remarkably successful...

...The History of the American Bottom Two of the nations largest rivers meet in the American Bottom. The Mississippi and Missouri Rivers served as channels of change to the area, bringing outside influences of many different peoples to an Indian-inhabited land. Like the constant flow of the rivers, there was a constant change in the American Bottom. The progress eventually developed the area into a center of economic activity and gateway to the west, but also excluded native and long-time residents. The Illinois Indians long dominated the American Bottom. They were a unique and special tribe, who were complex politically, religiously, and socially. They were also an independent people until French colonizers came to settle in the area. The French Creoles became the dominant population in the region, effecting trade and implementing French Creole culture in the region. The French would not be the last group trying to develop and profit from the American Bottom. When the United States gained control of the territory, it changed even further and eventually Americanized into an U.S. State. The importance of the region increased as the U.S. continued to grow westward. The American Bottoms location between the two great rivers made it the ideal location for a center of economic growth. Prior to the contact period, or the time when the Illinois first came into contact with Europeans, the Illinois were a great and influential tribe.

...Beverly, Rose A. His 221 010 August 27, 2011 Morris, Erin The cultural patterns of the Native American groups prior to European colonization. Even though Christopher Columbus claimed to have discovered the Americas in 1492, it was already inhabited some fifteen to twenty thousand years prior. The glaciers were reduced because of global warming and this gave the nomadic hunters access to the core of the North American continent. Amazingly, this contributed to their food supply abundantly and this produced a swift population growth. More changes became evident in the environment which included a new food source such as fish, nuts and berries. These Native Americans, known as Paleo-Indians, adjusted and propelled forward. Because they were exposed to a new food source they discovered how to cultivate certain plants. At this stage, the Agriculture Revolution was born and this significantly altered the Native American culture. With a more stable food source these Indians became docile and established. This also helped in establishing stable villages and eventually led to some type of government which included elders and leaders. The Eastern Woodland Cultures did not practice agriculture first and foremost but supplemented their food chain with hunting and fishing. They had settled in the northern region along the Atlantic coast. The Algonquian-speaking Natives resided from North Carolina to Main and spoke many different...
