Advanced Placement US History
I would like to take Advanced Placement US History. History is a big part of my life, as I have many of it in my blood. On my mother’s side, I am slavish and one of my great grandparents lived in a castle and ruled a part of scotland. On my Father’s side, I am irish and my great grandfather was the minister John Cotton that came over on the Mayflower to America. There is also so much more history that I don’t even know about. This is why I like history. I like learning about the past and how things and people came to be. I especially love that in US History we learn about things that happened in our own country and learn about how everything today came to be, and why things are the way they are. I believe that I was not recommended for this

    The American Revolution didn’t begin just because of one reason, but one major reason that really angered the Americans was when the British dumped tons of tea into Boston Harbor in December 1773 as a protest against the tax laws. The brutal British comeback to this act resulted in sending British troops to Boston and closing Boston Harbor, causing pressure and rancor to intensify. The British tried to disband the insurgents in Massachusetts by confiscating their weapons and ammunition and arresting the Patriotic leaders. Through the whole of 1774 and into 1775, strain in New England continued to rise. Minutemen met the British troops and disputed with them in Lexington, and later at Concord. The British departed to Boston, dealing with…

    US HISTORY FINAL

    1. During the 1920’s, the south was filled with hatred and racism towards black people. Southern states were segregated and had many Jim Crow laws in place that led to inferior treatment of black people. Lynching took place on a frequent basis. Blacks wanted a chance at peace and prosperity and thought they could find it in the North where factories where looking for employment. After the civil war, many freed blacks remained on plantations as sharecroppers. With no money they were unable to leave the Jim Crow South. After WW1, industry, especially the auto-industry of Detroit, in the North started to boom during the 1920’s. This attracted all the freedmen to migrate in search of jobs. This was a time they finally had an opportunity to make a new life for themselves. Henry Ford’s new plant was said to be large enough to employ all of Nashville. Factories were sprouting all over requiring workers who were willing to work for cheap wages. This was the best time for black people to leave the South and make a living for themselves away from any prejudice and…

    1.) American society wasn’t that democratic during the colonial days. Although it was much more democratic than England, it still wasn’t quite there yet. The constitution wasn’t signed and agreed upon until 1787, and before the turn of the 18th century, the colonies were a big mess. Most cities had an oligarchy, meaning a religious leader was in charge, making everyone abide by their rules, although it was often less religious and more on the tyrannical side. There wasn’t much separation of church and state. The only people who could vote were members of the church in most colonies, although some colonies allowed white men who owned property to have the right of franchise. People were hung, flogged, and exiled. Indentured servants had it bad,…

    1. Until quite recently, most American history textbooks taught that before Europeans invaded the Americas Indians were savages who lived in isolated groups and had so little impact on their environment that it remained a pristine wilderness. We now know from scientific discoveries that this account was wrong. What is the effect of learning that most of what we have assumed about the past is "wrong in almost every aspect," as Mann puts it on page 4?…
