BELLWORK Look at the map on page 131 and answer the following questions about Westward expansion: When was Tennessee settled? Iowa? Why do YOU think Westward expansion was so appealing? In other words, why would people want to relocate to the Western U.S.? Make a prediction What problems do you think settlers will encounter on their quest for Western land THINKER: Do you think population growth is a big problem in our society today? EXPLAIN! How can a growing population impact the a country? (EX: environment, jobs, economy, government, etc).

America’s Growing Population In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in the 13 states. By 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states. Average American woman had five children. Half of America’s population was under 17. Many people felt that in order to achieve success within a huge population they would have to move West.

Migrating West of the Appalachians

Manifest Destiny “From sea to shining sea” Belief that the United States was destined to expand across the North American continent. Used to justify war with Mexico and taking over Native American land.

The Louisiana Purchase In 1803, President Jefferson sent James Monroe to buy all of the Louisiana Territory from France for $15 million. This nearly doubled the size of the U.S. Next, President Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to lead explorations of the new territory. Lewis and Clark traveled all the way to the Pacific Ocean, while creating the first completed map of the U.S. Their detailed reports and maps sparked the interest of Americans and caused thousands of families to move West.

Manifest Destiny Florida: Ceded (given) to the United States as a part of the Adams - Onis Treaty in 1819 Oregon (1846)- Russia, France, Britain and the United States all had claims in the area. The U.S. negotiated with the countries and established the boundary at 49-north latitude.

Manifest Destiny Texas - American settlers had come to Texas and built plantations and farms. Settlers asked Mexico for permission to establish their own independent state. Mexicans refused Texas declared herself independent 1845 Texas was annexed by the United States and became the 28th state.

Manifest Destiny Mexican Cession (1848) - Tensions between America and Mexico were high. Congress declared war and the US demolished the weaker Mexican army. (Mexican-American War) The treaty that ended the war gave the US California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico

Manifest Destiny Gadsden Purchase (1853)– US purchased Southern Arizona and New Mexico to build the railroad

Manifest Destiny Do you think the Americans accomplished their goal of Manifest Destiny? Why or why not? Did the U.S. have the right to declare war on Mexico in order to obtain land? What purchase/gain of land do you think was the most valuable? As Americans move west, who’s land are they really taking over?

Conflict with Native Americans Settlers’ views of land and resources contradicted with Native American traditions. Both groups felt they had fair claim to the Western region and Great Plains because they held numerous resources. When the U.S. Government did not do anything to stop this conflict, Native Americans in Ohio formed a confederation to halt white settlement. Eventually, the Ohio Confederation lost their battle and were forced to give up much of their land.

The Shawnee and Cherokee Solution Shawnee Solution: led by Tenskwatawa; urged the Shawnee to stop eating, drinking, or fighting like the Whites. Later, this became a political message of Native American pride, power, and unity. Cherokee Solution: Try to live in peace with the Whites. The Cherokee built roads, collected taxes, adopted Christianity, and created their own legal code. Both of these solutions attracted other N.A., but eventually, white settlers took over and forced them onto reservations, federal lands set aside for their inhabitance.

CLOSURE Turn to your neighbor and tell them: What was the Louisiana Purchase? Why was it beneficial to the U.S.? Who were Lewis and Clark? What was the U.S.-Mexican War? What was the Ohio Confederation? What was the difference between the Shawnee and Cherokee solutions?

Horrible Histories: The 19th Century We are going to read a chapter from the book “Horrible Histories” This is a cartoon-portrayal of Westward Expansion and Native American removal. There are 15 questions at the end that you will answer on your OWN SHEET OF PAPER!

HOMEWORK Make-up For the rest of the period, you are going to read about the court case Worcester v. Georgia. This case was a turning point for Native Americans as the Cherokee Tribe was kicked off their land by President Jackson. Read pages 136-139 and answer the questions: Why do you think President Jackson favored Cherokee removal? Do you agree with this? Explain! What was the outcome of the court case? Why did this change? If the Cherokee had defended their land, what would they have risked?
