If you still don t know the answer, mark the question and go back to it at the end of the test. If you get frustrated, take a break. Ask to get a drink of water or put your head down for a few minutes. If you get sleepy, ask for a restroom break or a snack. After you have circled all answers, check your work for accuracy. Then bubble in all answers. Check to make sure the bubbled answers match the circled answers. Remember that you have four hours only to answer the questions and bubble in your answers.

They reached a boiling point after Missouri s 1819 request for admission to the Union as a slave state, which threatened to upset the delicate balance between slave states and free states. To keep the peace, Congress orchestrated a two-part compromise, granting Missouri s request but also admitting Maine as a free state.

37 The Monroe Doctrine What was it? During James Monroe s presidency, several revolutions against Spanish rule flared up in South and Central America and ousted the colonial governments. New leaders such as Simon Bolivar established independent regimes. The U.S., having itself broken away from colonial rule, officially recognized these new countries, and established lucrative trading relations with many of them. Fearing that European governments would intervene and try to reassert colonial dominance, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams composed the Monroe Doctrine, which Monroe revealed in This doctrine declared American dominance in the Western Hemisphere and warned against European interference in the Americas. It consisted of three principles: Unless American interests were involved, the United States would stay out of European wars. The American continents, including both North and South America, were not subject to any further colonization by European powers. The United States would construe any attempt at European colonization in the New World as an unfriendly act. Although the U.S. had little military power to back up its claims, the declaration nonetheless had immense symbolic importance, announcing the United States as a world power equal to the great European nations. The Monroe Doctrine asserted U.S. preeminence in the affairs of the Americas, a position that has informed American foreign relations ever since.

39 Louisiana Purchase Thomas Jefferson had always dreamed of extending the United States westward. He sent envoys to France to negotiate the right to send goods down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. In 1803, Napoleon Bonaparte, the new ruler of France, offered to sell the Louisiana Territory. Although Jefferson was uncertain whether the Constitution allowed the Federal Government to buy the new territory, he went ahead with the purchase. The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the nation. It gave the Americans control of the Mississippi River. In 1804 Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore this vast region.

41 In the War of 1812, the United States took on the greatest naval power in the world, Great Britain, in a conflict that would have an immense impact on the young country s future. Causes of the war included British attempts to restrict U.S. trade, the Royal Navy s impressment of American seamen and America s desire to expand its territory. The United States suffered many costly defeats at the hands of British, Canadian and Native American troops over the course of the War of 1812, including the capture and burning of the nation s capital, Washington, D.C., in August Nonetheless, American troops were able to repulse British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans, boosting national confidence and fostering a new spirit of patriotism. The ratification of the Treaty of Ghent on February 17, 1815, ended the war but left many of the most contentious questions unresolved. Nonetheless, many in the United States celebrated the War of 1812 as a second war of independence, beginning an era of partisan agreement and national pride.

43 The Industrial Revolution Begins The Industrial Revolution began with textile machines. These machines turned cotton into yarn. In 1793, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, a machine that cleaned cotton quickly. Cotton became America s biggest export. Then the government hired Whitney to make thousands of guns. At that time guns were made by hand. Whitney thought of a way to make them quickly and cheaply. He used interchangeable parts and mass production. Soon factories began using his ideas. The nation s productivity increased. Machines Bring Change Entrepreneurs used machines to change how people worked. Francis Lowell built a mill that turned cotton into cloth. Soon other factories opened. New inventions, like reapers and steel plows, made farm work easier and faster. Before the Industrial Revolution, people worked on farms or in workshops. Now many people worked in factories. Changes in Transportation In the 1800s, dirt roads could not be used in bad weather. The government built a paved road from Maryland to Ohio. People built towns and opened businesses to sell goods. Robert Fulton invented a steamboat that could travel without wind or currents. Soon there were many steamboats. In 1825, the Erie Canal opened. This canal made it easier to ship goods between Lake Erie and the Hudson River. Many canals were built. Rivers and canals became the fastest and cheapest way to ship goods. Steam locomotive trains were even faster than steamboats. Trips that took 32 hours by steamboat took only 10 hours by train. Soon the United States had thousands of miles of railroad track. Factories and farmers sent their goods faster to places all over the country What did Whitney do to manufacture guns more quickly and cheaply? In what ways did the workday change for many people during the Industrial Revolution? Why were steam locomotives better than other forms of transportation? 43

44 Question: Which of the following best completes the table above? a) Immigration expands the labor force. b) The government seizes control of factories. c) Overland trade routes become obsolete. d) A scarcity of raw materials causes prices to rise.

47 Landmark Supreme Court Cases Gibbons vs. Ogden The New York Legislature had passed a law giving a monopoly on steamship travel in New York state to a group of investors, including Aaron Ogden. Thomas Gibbons wanted to use the New York waterways for his business, too. He had been given federal permission to do so but was denied access to these waterways by the State of New York. The Supreme Court said that the U.S. Constitution had a commerce clause that allowed the federal government to regulate commerce, in this case trade, wherever it might be, including within the borders of a state. McCulloch vs. Maryland The United States, at this time (1819) had a federal bank. The State of Maryland voted to tax all bank business not done with state banks. Andrew McCulloch, who worked in the Baltimore branch of the Bank of the United States, refused to pay the tax. The State of Maryland sued, and the Supreme Court accepted the case. The Supreme Court wrote a state did not have the power to tax the federal government. "The right to tax is the right to destroy," he wrote, and states should not have that power over the federal government. Both of these cases reinforced the idea that the government is more powerful than the government. 47
