Period 3

100

Using "The Alien and Sedition Acts" excerpt, identify whom the act targeted and why.

Possible answers: -anyone who spoke out against the Federalist government -Republicans/their leader, T. Jeff, were specific targets -immigrants (easier to deport, more likely to support Republicans) -politicians and newspaper editors

200

Identify the circumstances that led to the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts?

-development of two parties; Federalists wanted to preserve their power -increasing tensions in Europe put pressure on the US to take sides -approaching Presidential election in 1800 -increased newspaper readership

300

Cite one additional piece of evidence that explains the reaction to the Alien and Sedition Acts by the group it targeted.

-Jefferson and Madison authored the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions (nullification) -successful efforts in 1800 to elect T. Jeff, rendering Alien and Sedition Acts void because Congress would not renew.

400

Briefly explain why Great Britain tried to limit colonial expansion after the French and Indian War.

-the area was difficult and expensive to control -the British made agreements with the Native Americans to maintain Native American control of that territory

500

Explain why efforts to limit British colonial expansion (after the French and Indian War) failed.

-British American colonists felt confined by increasing population and decreasing availability of land -people moved west anyway and faced conflict from Native Americans -poor land and mounting debt led backcountry settlers to form groups to challenge Native American rights to land (e. Paxton Boys) -The British, hampered by debts from the French and Indian War, did not have the resources or manpower to stop western settlement

PERIOD 4

100

Using the map provided, identify the major continuity reflected in the maps.

-manufacturing was most concentrated in the NE -more people were employed in manufacturing in the NE than in other regions -manufacturing centers in both years tended to be in areas with access to water to facilitate transportation

200

Using the graph provided, account for the rapid increase in slave population given the fact Congress banned the international slave trade in 1808.

-over 100,000 were imported in the 30 years prior to the ban -demand for slaves grew with invention of cotton gin -westward expansion also expanded the slave frontier -new admitted states included 7 new slavery permitting states -Industrial Revolution led to an increased demand for cotton to product textiles -increased sugar production increased demand for slaves -Southerners transitioned from slavery as "necessary evil" to "positive good"

300

Using the graph provided, identify a major factor that led to increased cotton production between 1790 and 1840, and explain how this led to increased production.

-invention of cotton gin -development and improvement of interchangeable parts -other inventions made cotton production cheaper (lathes, planers, boring machines) -invention of the steam boat made it easier to ship cotton

400

Using the maps provided, identify the major change reflected in the maps. Then, identify one major factor that accounts for this change over time.

Changes -more industrialized in 1850 -industrial centers also developing near the Great Lakes and in the South -more manufacturing in the W and S in 1850 than 1820 -in 1850, there were fewer areas that did not report manufacturing statistics REASON(S) -after 1820, the textile industry grew significantly as water power was harnessed and a surplus labor force was available -women from rural NE moved into town/cities to take jobs in textile mills -increased immigration, especially from Ireland, increased the labor pool -discovery of coal and iron led to increased manufacturing in the Ohio Valley and near the Great Lakes

500

Using the graph provided, what conclusions can be drawn from the above figure concerning the efficiency of cotton production over time?

-technological improvements resulted in more efficient production of cotton -few slaves were needed to produce each bale of cotton -1790 figures could be misleading because the majority of slaves were probably working in tobacco fields in the Upper South not in cotton fields in the Deep South
