HISTORICAL PERIODS Let’s construct a timeline to help you remember!

BEFORE 1900

ANTEBELLUM (BEFORE 1861) CIVIL WAR (1861-65) RECONSTRUCTION (1865-1877) WESTWARD EXPANSION AND INDUSTRIALIZATION (1877-1900) SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR (1898)

BEFORE 1861 (BEFORE THE WAR) NULLIFICATION CRISIS It started when southern states challenged the federal government’s authority to make laws. Because states had created the union, they had the right to declare a federal law NULL, or not valid.

WHY DID THE SOUTHERN STAES SECEDE FROM THE UNION IN 1861? • Because of new states entering the union that did not have slaves, the slaveholding states would soon be in the minority. • Growing support of abolition of slavery by northerners. • Lincoln’s election is viewed by the South as a threat to their society.

CIVIL WAR 1861-1865

WHY DID THE SOUTH LOSE THE WAR? WHY DID IT TAKE THE SOUTH MORE TIME TO RECOVER FROM THE WAR’S EFFECTS ?

WESTWARD EXPANSION 1869-COMPLETION OF THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD GROWTH AND SETTLEMENT OF THE WEST AND STANDARDIZATION OF TIME AND TIME ZONES

HOMESTEAD ACT IN 1862, THE HOMESTEAD ACT ALLOWED SETTLERS TO CLAIM PUBLIC LANDS, LIVE THERE FOR 5 YEARS, AND RECEIVED LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND.

INDUSTRIALIZATION

NATURAL RESOURCES LARGE WORKFORCE FREE ENTERPRISE LAISSEZ-FAIRE ATTITUDE OF GOVERNMENT, THAT IS, LACK OF HIGH TAXES AND REGULATIONS ON BUSINESS NEW INVENTIONS LIKE THE TELEGRAPH, TELEPHONE, STEEL PROCESSING, ELECTRICITY

The Gilded Age With industrialization, the rich got richer and the poor stayed poor. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Social Darwinism- a belief that society progressed when the fittest people survived. “Rags to Riches” $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Wealthiest people?

urbanization Immigrants flocked to the country from Ireland and Central Europe. Later, they came from Italy and South and Eastern Europe. Asian immigrants came to work on the railroads. WHAT CONDITIONS DID THEY FACE IN THE GROWING CITIES?

POPULISM IN 1875, POLITICAL PARTIES IN RURAL AREAS STARTED TO FORM TO GIVE POWER TO FARMERS. ECONOMIC HARD TIMES AND THE RISING AND FALLING VALUE OF THE DOLLAR HELPED GIVE RISE TO POPULISM.

1898the Spanish American War America felt that its frontier was settled, and this caused a rise of IMPERIALISM, the move to gain territory outside the borders. We annexed Hawaii and traded with Latin America. Then, in 1898, our battleship Maine exploded in Cuba. We declared war on Spain, which controlled Cuba, and the war was over in one year. We gained territory in the Pacific Islands, Caribbean, and the Philippines.
