1. AP U.S. History

2. Struggling to create an independent global presence, the United States sought to claim territory throughout the North American continent and promote foreign trade.
Was 2014 Standard 4.3.I. Now is 2015 Standard 4.3.I.

3. New Role in the World
The U.S. sought dominance over the North American continent through a variety of means, including military actions, judicial decisions, and diplomatic efforts.
Monroe Doctrine
Webster- Ashburton Treaty
This is the old standard 4.3.I.B.
I think we should keep this one bc the new one from 2015 is 4.3.I.A. and says:
Following the Louisiana Purchase, the United States government sought influence and control over North America and the Western Hemisphere through a variety of means, including exploration, military actions, American Indian removal, and diplomatic efforts such as the Monroe Doctrine.
So I think we should keep the old one bc it is less cluttered and maybe we can draw connections to the Louisiana Purchase and foreshadow what will happen to natives.

5. WAR OF 1812
Non-Intercourse Act Replaced the Embargo of Unlike the Embargo, which forbade American trade with all foreign nations, this act only forbade trade with France and Britain. It did not succeed in changing British or French policy towards neutral ships, so it was replaced by Macon’s Bill No. 2.
Macon’s Bill No Forbade trade with Britain and France, but offered to resume trade with whichever nation lifted its neutral trading restrictions first. France quickly changed its policies against neutral vessels, so the U.S. resumed trade with France, but not Britain.
