2076301326*Motive of settling Virginia- paid for by Virginia Company - wanted profit - mercantilism in England1
2076301327*First Great Awakening (730s-1770s)- Revitalization of religious piety - led by charismatic ministers in 1730 - made religion more emotional, less cerebral - "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" sermon by Puritan minister Jonathan Edwards2
2076301328Deism- 1700 religious revolution which moved away from religious doctrines - God is a distant entity - No Godly intervention in daily affairs3
2076301329*Albany Congress, 1754- AKA: Conference of Albany - led by Benjamin Franklin - first meeting of all colonies to debate unification - Franklin's union plan, Albany Plan, rejected4
2076301330*Legal rights of women-no suffrage under practically every circumstance -couldn't own land in most cases -were subordinate to men as caretakers, mothers, and housekeepers - Meant to be moral teacher to husband and sons (this eventually led to their educational rights)5
2076301331*Stamp Act, 1765- tax on paper used for various documents - included recreation like playing cards - sparked most uproar and opposition of any British tax6
2076301332*Slavery in pre-independence times- unregulated slave trade (no limits) - molasses, rum, slaves / Triangular Slave Trade (America, Europe, Africa) - slaves were responsible for majority of labor in southern economy - First Africans arrived in VA in 1619, replacing indentured servitude and the unsuccessful enslavement of Native Americans7
2076301333*Indentured servants- extraordinarily popular prior to massive influx of slaves - workers receive free ride to America and housing once there - in exchange for house/ride, they work unpaid for 5-10 years - most did not survive to finish out their contracts - opportunity for their own land and to fulfill the American Dream8
2076301334*Proclamation of 1763- Closed off the frontier to colonial expansion. Presented as a measure to calm the fears of the Indians who felt that the colonists would drive them from their lands due to westward expansion - created a line through Appalachian mountains - colonists could not settle any further west - land from Appalachia to Mississippi was "Indian Reserve" - Colonists who ignored this and ventured past the designated border were often met with hostile Natives and killed9
2076301335*Articles of Confederation, 1777- first written form of government for newly freed colonies - created a "firm league of friendship" between states - heavily favored state government, making federal government useless (no taxing, or federal laws without nullification)10
2076301336*Bill of Rights- 1st 10 amendments to the Constitution - protected individual liberties not specified in Constitution - gave states powers not specifically assigned to federal government - was wanted by the Antifederalists because they feared that by not having a Bill of Rights, Federalists would dominate11
2076301337*Hamilton's economic plans- national bank, 20% publicly 80% privately held - federal government repays all war debts in full - high tariffs to encourage American industry and discourage British/French/Spanish imports12
2076301338*Shays' Rebellion 1786-1787- farmers revolt - many lost farms because couldn't pay debts in gold/silver - freed debtors prisons, burnt down city halls and courts - showed that the Articles of Confed. weren't working, leading to its end13
2076301339*XYZ affair, 1797-1798 (Washignton's Presidency)- France was upset by alliances with Britain and seized US ships - US tried to negotiate with France, French agents bribed US agents - French agents X, Y and Z wanted $250,000 and a $12M loan14
2076301340*Marbury v. Madison, 1803 (Thomas Jefferson's Presidency)- John Adams (1797-1801), a Federalist, feared that the Federalist party would become a minority and underrepresented in the US government when Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), a Democratic-Republican, took over. So, to prevent this from occurring, he appointed several judgeships and other government positions to Federalists, up to midnight of his last day in office. - When Jefferson took office, some of Adam's papers of appointment had not been delivered. Johnson told his secretary, James Madison, to not deliver them. - Marbury, an Adams "midnight judge", wanted his position/paycheck - Madison, Thomas Jefferson's secretary said that Marbury's appointment was unconstitutional due to Adam's "scheme" - Chief Justice Marshall established Supreme Court power of judicial review15
2076301341*Louisiana Purchase, 1803- Louisiana territory purchased by Jefferson from Napoleon from France for $15mil - not constitutional, but Jefferson wanted land and France needed $ due to a slave revolt in Haiti and impending war with Britain - Jefferson only intended on buying New Orleans for a western port for $20mil but was declined by Napoleon and offered the entire Louisiana Territory for $15mil - Determined it constitutional because by purchasing this territory, the US would be removing France's presence in the region and protected US trade, gave access to the New Orleans Port, and provided free passage on the Mississippi River16
2076301342*Hartford Convention, 1814 (James Madison)- group of Federalists meeting in opposition to War of 1812 - merchants saw large amount of trade with Britain stop - passed a resolution requiring a 2/3 vote in Congress for declaration of war in the future17
