...Tax Supported Education In today’s society, we do not think twice about public education being funded by our taxes at a district, state or federal level. We take for granted expected rights such as education and the right to vote. When we stop and take a look back at history, we realize that the expectation of education was not always a birth right but one that developed due to our ancestors realizing the effect an education (or lack of an education) can have on society. The involvement of Government supported schools began after the Revolution but expanded in the 19th century. By 1870, all states had free elementary schools. Originally, the tax supported schools were limited and existed chiefly to educate the children of the poor (Kennedy, Cohen & Bailey, 2013). The founders of our nation recognized that educated, well-informed citizens are fundamental to a democratic form of government. Well-to-do, conservative Americans came to realize that uneducated children grow up and influence society with their vote. Taxation for education was an insurance premium that the wealthy paid for stability and democracy” (Kennedy, Cohen & Bailey, 2013). The United States was also different in the fact that our citizens were not from the same background. Unlike citizens in other countries, who shared the same ethnic background or culture, Americans would need to base their national identity on shared ideas such as a belief in democracy and equality and on the common experience...

...1. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was devised by Thomas Jefferson to organize the unruly American West. The Ohio River became a border between slave and non slave states. This put it in the minds of northerners that slavery was slowly coming to an end, but to some southerners The Northwest Ordinance protected them against western competition. Slave owners with the intention of expanding west were naturally upset. In short the Northwest Ordinance only helped drive the wedge between the North and South even further. 2. he French and the United States had a past of disliking eachother. The French looked down upon the United States, and in turn the British and French had been enemies for years before the American Revolution, so the Colonists adopted that disdain for the French. However, In the Battle of Saratoga the American's get the upperhand. This gets the attention of the French. The French then notice that America and the British...

...The United States’ territorial expansion inadvertently contributed to the eradication of the institutionalization of slavery. The gradual process of Westward expansion amplified the economic and political rift between White Northerners and Southerners. Following the Revolutionary War, white Northerners and Southerners alike were content with their respective economic systems. However, the seemingly perpetual acquisitions of territories repeatedly ignited a national debate; with each region interested in protecting their economical and political systems respectively. The United States first expanded with The Northwest Ordinance of 1787. The Northwest Ordinance established the Northwest Territory—the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. More importantly, this legislation outlawed slavery north of the Ohio River. In 1803, the United States acquired the Louisiana Purchase—ironically, as a direct result of a slave revolt in Haiti—from France. The Louisiana Purchase would spark the first national political debate. As settlers began to move into the Louisiana territory, the issue of slavery arose. A territory could apply for statehood after it reached 60,000 settlers. In 1819, Missouri applied for statehood, entering the Union as a slave state. This enraged White Northerners. The admittance of Missouri gave the slave holding states the majority in the Senate; foreshadowing, that future political policies, would favor the Southern economic system—slavery. In...

...On July 13th, 1787 the Northwest Ordinances were put into action by the Congress of Confederation. These ordinances would set the rules and guidelines that were needed by territories on the west side of the Ohio river to become states. Due to pressure by the territories and everlasting westward expansion the congress decided to aid in the formation of many new states. This document is very important because it was a pivotal development in our countries history. By implementing the Northwest Ordinances, the Government was showing its acceptance and eagerness of the expansion of the Unites states. One important territory that was able to gain its statehood through the requirements of Northwest Ordinances was Ohio. The first half of the Northwest Ordinances is made up of 14 sections and 6 articles that lay out the requirements for a territory to become a state. The first half of the Ordinances contain the amount of time that an official can stay in office, how they are elected, and the different duties of all the government positions. For example, in the third section it is decreed that the Congress will appoint a governor to any given state and that governor will hold office for three years unless he is sooner...

...1. Northwest Ordinances This topic took place from 1784 to 1787 seeking for outlining how territories would be organized and new states created. To be recognized as territory or state, basic rights, public education, and forbid slavery should be guaranteed. In addition, if a territory has more than 60,000 people, they can become a state, which means that they could vote for senators, president, and get more benefits and tax return with the federal government. This occurred when the different colonies or states wanted to get more power and political representation in the congress, and trying to decrease slavery. 2. Articles of Confederation Approved on November 15, 1777, the Articles of Confederation were created in the national government...

...the Articles of Confederation had its flaws, it did serve an important purpose at the time it was written. Some of the strong points include: the Land Ordinance of 1785, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, defined territories, and establishment of an adequate temporary government. At the time, the American colonies had suffered under the long tyranny of England’s King George III and the American colonies’ primary goal was to establish a government in which its people would be protected from such domination. The Articles of Confederation did this, claiming very little power over individual states and people. Furthermore, in the Articles of Confederation territories and rules between states were explicitly laid out, with states gaining an understanding of how they played into the federal government. Lastly, the Land and Northwest Ordinances of 1785 and 1787 respectively were established in the Articles of Confederation. The Land Ordinance defined the general practices of land surveying and land ownership provisions. This ordinance was considered a success, in that may people were able to purchase and secure land with very little trouble. The Northwest Ordinance required some of the original states to give up land near the Ohio River. This land was later used for the development of five new states. Furthermore, the Northwest Ordinance abolished slavery from any new states, a huge contribution to the advancement of the United States at the time. The Articles of Confederation did come...

...From the beginning of the American Revolution, Congress felt the need for a stronger union and a government powerful enough to defeat Great Britain. During the early years of the war this desire became a belief that the new nation must have a constitutional order appropriate to its republican character. A fear of central authority inhibited the creation of such a government, and widely shared political theory held that a republic could not adequately serve a large nation such as the United States. The legislators of a large republic would be unable to remain in touch with the people they represented, and the republic would inevitably degenerate into a tyranny. To many Americans their union seemed to be simply a league of confederated states, and their Congress a diplomatic assemblage, representing thirteen independent polities. The impetus for an effective central government lay in wartime urgency, the need for foreign recognition and aid, and the growth of national feeling. Altogether six drafts of the Articles were prepared before Congress settled on a final version in 1777. Benjamin Franklin wrote the first and presented it to Congress in July 1775. It was never formally considered. Later in the year Silas Deane, a delegate fromConnecticut, offered one of his own, which was followed still later by a draft from the Connecticut delegation, probably a revision of Deane’s. None of these drafts contributed significantly to the fourth version written by John Dickinson of Pennsylvania...

...to better the international trade, but only six delegates were sent which was a too little amount so the congress decided to set up another meeting next year in Philadelphia to revise The Article of Confederation. The new group that met up in Philadelphia which was about 55 people decided to write a new character of government which was The Constitution. A quick fun fact is that it is still the same constitution we use today. The Articles of Confederation was not only a non effective form of government but it had its perks. A piece of evidence that supports that is the Northwest Ordinance 1787, this set up a process to create 5 new states between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, this was the biggest accomplishment. The first thing was that it allowed American Indians had a claim to the land and that they had to be treated better if settlers wanted to avoid violence. The second thing was that the ordinance outlawed slavery in all 5 of the states. Another great example for this is The Treaty of Paris 1783. Even though the government was weak the articles did...

...Neighborhood Project Report The Town of Addison is located in an area once called Peters Colony. It was settled as early as 1846 when Preston Witt built a house on White Rock Creek. The area was not known as Addison until 1902. Addison was named after Addison Robertson, who served as the community's second postmaster from 1908-1916. With more than 170 restaurants, there is a restaurant for every 79 Addison residents. Addison is a popular location for many Dallas-area restaurants.
