A.P. U.S. History Notes Chapter 1: ?New World Beginnings? Summary: 225 million years ago, Earth was one supercontinent (Pangaea) and ocean. About 10 million years ago, the North America that we know today was formed (geographical shape). The first discoverers of North America were nomadic Asians who wandered over here by way of an exposed land bridge from Russia to Alaska during the Ice Age. Though they were hunters at first, by 5000 BC, they had become hunter-gatherers with a diet of basically corn. Great pre-European Indian cultures included the Pueblos, the Iroquois, the Mound Builders, the Mayans, the Incas, the Aztec, and the Sioux, among others (map of tribes on pg. 8). The Indians revered nature and land, and didn?t carelessly destroy it. Everything was put to use.

CHAPTER 5 1. Jonathan Edwards ? Called the founding father of theology in America. In the 1730s, he ignited the Great Awakening, which was a religious revival in essence. He claimed that salvation through good works was ludicrous, and that people needed a complete dependence on God?s grace. He was forceful in the way he portrayed things, one of which is a landscape of hell, in which he painted the eternal torments and the pain and suffering of hell.

CHAPTER 4 1. William Berkeley ? He was the governor of Virginia who governed for 34 years before Bacon threw him out. He disliked having to rule an impoverished country where almost everyone was poor and discontent with their life. He was friendly towards the Indians and even when the Indians attacked the frontier settlements, he let them be. He monopolized the fur trade with the Indians. When Bacon?s Rebellion died when Bacon himself died, Berkeley, having been chased out of Jamestown, came back and hanged more than twenty rebels to show everyone what would happen if they retaliated.

Thayne Wade Mr. Myers APhun May 18, 2012 Upton Sinclair was most likely not the person who assassinated Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, but he was definitely a suspect. Sinclair was an American author, who lived from 1878 to 1968, in 1912, he was 34 years old. He was the muckraking Journalist who, in 1906, exposed the conditions in the American Meat packing Industry with his novel The Jungle. In 1920 and in 1922, he ran for the House of Representatives and the Senate respectively, because of the fact that he ran as a socialist, he is a much better candidate for the assassination of Roosevelt, as he could have been against his foreign policies.
