Presentation transcript:

 The Constitution and Slavery  Representation in Government was based on population  The South had more slaves than the North  Slaves would be counted as ¾ population

 Electors from each state would elect the president  President would have the right to veto  George Washington becomes President in 1789

 Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from the French to gain control of the Mississippi River  15 million dollars – 3 cents per acre

 Sent to explore the new territory  Took Sacagewea with them as a guide

 Caused by tensions with the British and the French  Americas stopped trading with Europe  British burned the White House  Americans defeated them in 1814

belief that Americans had the right to expand across the continent to the Pacific Ocean.

 America is destined for better deeds. We have no interest in the scenes of antiquity, only as lessons of avoidance of nearly all their examples. The expansive future is our arena, and for our history. We are entering on its untrodden space, with the truths of God in our minds, beneficent objects in our hearts, and with a clear conscience unsullied by the past. We are the nation of human progress, and who will, what can, set limits to our onward march? Providence is with us, and no earthly power can. We point to the everlasting truth on the first page of our national declaration, and we proclaim to the millions of other lands, that "the gates of hell" -- the powers of aristocracy and monarchy -- "shall not prevail against it." Who, then, can doubt that our country is destined to be the great nation of futurity?

 manifest means clear or obvious and destiny means something that is sure to happen.  Americans saw their democratic government as the best in the world and felt is was their right and duty to spread it across the continent to the Pacific Ocean.  Americans also saw expansion as a way to create new economic opportunities.

 Many Americans saw Natives, Mexicans, and other minorities as inferior, and used this thinking to justify taking their lands  Promotes racism and discrimination

 Explanation of the Oregon Trail Game
