Chapters 17 Manifest Destiny and Its Legacy
AP Standards:
9- Territorial Expansion and Manifest Destiny: 1- Forced removal of American Indians to the trans-Mississippi West, 2- Western migration and cultural interactions, 3- Territorial acquisitions, 4- Early U.S. imperialism: The Mexican War.
Abstract: American expansion gained momentum in the 1840s, leading first to the acquisition of Texas & Oregon, and then to the Mexican War, which added vast Southwestern territories to the US and ignited the slavery question. As Tyler assumed the presidency after Harrison’s death, the US became engaged in a series of sharp disputes with Britain. A conflict over the Maine boundary was resolved, but British involvement in Texas revived the movement to annex the Lone Star Republic to the United States. The Texas & Oregon questions became embroiled in the 1844 campaign, as Democrats nominated & elected the militantly expansionist Polk. After Texas was added to the Union, conflicts with Mexico over California & the Texas boundary erupted into war in 1846.American forces quickly conquered California & New Mexico. Scott’s & Taylor’s invasion of Mexico was also successful, and the US obtained large new territories in the peace treaty Besides adding California, New Mexico, and Utah to American territory, the Mexican War trained a new generation of military leaders and aroused long-term Latin American resentment of the US. Most important, it forced the slavery controversy to the center of national debate, as first indicated by the Wilmot Proviso.
Objectives: Students will be able to understand the causes and consequences of western settlement and to summarize the events surrounding the independence of Texas and the war with Mexico.
AND
Chapter 18 Renewing the Sectional Struggle
AP Standards:
10- The Crisis of the Union: 1- Pro- and antislavery arguments and conflicts, 2- compromise of 1850 and popular sovereignty, 3- The Kansas-Nebraska Act and the emergence of the Republican Party, 4- Abraham Lincoln, the election of 1860 and secession.
Abstract: The sectional conflict over the expansion of slavery that erupted after the Mexican War was temporarily quieted by the Compromise of 1850, but Douglas’s Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 exploded it again.
In the 1850’s American expansionism in the West and the Caribbean was extremely controversial because it was tied to the slavery question.
The acquisition of territory from Mexico created acute new dilemmas concerning the expansion of slavery, especially for the two major political parties, which had long tried to avoid the issue. The antislavery Free Soil party pushed the issue into the election of 1848. The application of gold-rich California for admission to the Union forced the controversy into the Senate, which engaged in stormy debates over slavery and the Union.
After the timely death of President Taylor, who had blocked a settlement, Congress resolved the crisis by passing the delicate Compromise of 1850. The Compromise eased sectional tension for the moment, although the Fugitive Slave Law aroused opposition in the North.
As the Whig party died, the Democratic Pierce administration became the tool of proslavery expansionists. Controversies over Nicaragua, Cuba, and the Gadsden Purchase showed that expansionism was closely linked to the slavery issue.
The desire for a northern railroad route led Stephen Douglas to ram the Kansas-Nebraska Act through Congress in 1854. By repealing the Missouri Compromise and making new territory subject to popular sovereignty on slavery, this act aroused the fury of the North, sparked the rise of the Republican party, and set the stage for the Civil War.
Objective: Students will be able to:
1- Explain how the issue of slavery in the territories acquired from Mexico disrupted American politics from 1848 to 1850
2-Point out the major terms of the Compromise of 1850.
3-Explain the demise of the Whig Party.
4- Describe how the Pierce administration engaged in various pro-southern overseas and expansionist ventures.
5- Describe Stephen Douglas's Kansas-Nebraska Act and how it stirred the sectional controversy

Mock Trial Topic and Issues:
The purpose of this trial is to judge the actions of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Was Napoleon Bonaparte a great leader and patriot, or was he a power-hungry dictator?
The year is 1815 and his last 100 days as a general have ended on the fields of Waterloo. What are we to do with this man? Our task is to examine his life and produce a verdict on the charge of "crimes against humanity", a charge later used against the Nazis after World War Two. Be careful, because the Congress of Vienna - which is sponsoring this trial - may not be completely innocent.
The UN designated the following 11 Crimes Against Humanity
1- Murder
2- Extermination
3- Enslavement
4- Forcible Deportation
5- Sexual Violence
*Rape
*Sexual slavery
*Enforced prostitution
*Forced pregnancy
*Sterilization
6-Persecution
7-Enforced disappearance of persons
8- Apartheid
9- Other inhumane acts
10- Torture
11- Imprisonment or other deprivation of liberty
