This picture shows a redneck yelling at immigrants, but not knowing what to do when the Native American comes up to him, showing that he is the immigrant.

| It relates to immigration for our country because people in the US want to keep illegal aliens out of the US, but they do the jobs that most people don't want to do. |
Immigration
Americans believe foreigners pose a threat to the country, but in reality immigrants are not criminals. They are human just like everyone else in the USA.

Manifest Destiny Quote
Have not results in Mexico taught the
invincibility of American arms?...The North Americans will spread out far beyond
their present bounds. They will encroach again and again upon their neighbors.
New territories will be planted, declare their independence, and be annexed. We
have New Mexico and California! We will have Old Mexico and Cuba! The isthmus
cannot arrest--nor even the Saint Lawrence!! Time has all of this in her womb. A
hundred states will grow up where now exists but thirty.
DeBow's Commercial Review, 1848This quote talks about afetr the defeat of Mexico and the Americans would move beyond. And new states would be formed.
Manifest Destiny
The main idea of the Manifest Destiny was to wove westward, towards the west coast, in order to exapnd our country .
Manifest Destiny
Our manifest destiny [is] to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.
John L. O'Sullivan, 1845

Chapter 8, Section 4 The Changing Workplace
This is a map of the different industries in the United States, North of Virginia. Notice how the states in the North Eastern portion of the country have industries mainly focused on clothing and textiles, while the areas farther South focus on coal mining. Also, areas to the east focused on coal mining and timber working.
The Lowell Mills girls worked for lower wages, but were still paid more than if they were teachers or another profession. They were treated poorly, and they began to strike against their bosses. Fight the man!
Chapter 9 Section 1 Notes
Impact on Communication - The 1st Telephone (1876) - During the rise of marketing and inventions in the U.S, Alexander Bale decided to invent a sound transmitter, also known as the telephone. It relied on a steady stream of electricity rather than electric bursts.
Emergence of Railroads - From the 1840's to the 1860's, many new forms of transportation were being made in locations with large populations. One of them was the invention of railroads. Railroads were made to transport people and different forms of cargo easier.
Civil Disobedience & Henry David Thoreau
"I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours...if you have built castles in the air, your work need to be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."-Henry David Thoreau
---- Henry David Thoreau cared a lot about doing what he believed. He wrote a lot about The Civil Disobedience, and basically started the whole Civil Disobedience movements.
Temperance Movement
 |
| This cartoon shows the temperance movement where people would try to stop drinking alcohol. Mary C. Vaughan was attested by evils of alcohol while speaking at a temperance meeting in 1852. The sphere of individual liberty must be shrunken, indeed, if it cannot enclose all that lies within a man's skin, and the powers of the ruler, extensive indeed, if they can reach down the citizen's throat and explore his digestive organs. It is not mere bombast to declare that the esophagus, the duodenum, lacticals, and capillary ducts of free-born Americans are, and of right should be, forever inviolable; and that if the Declaration of Independence does not avail to save the contents of our stomachs and bladders from chemical analysis and legislative discussion, it is full time to make another declaration that shall mean something. |

Slavery in America
With Malice in there eyes.
The hoes will fly, As tear run dry
We rush for freedom yet stand for nothing,
As we stand for nothing and fall for everything.
-Kent Moseley
