NATIONALISM

After the War of 1812 (the second war with Britain), Americans began to see themselves as part of the larger country. Loyalty to the United States became more important than loyalty to one’s home state or region.

Congress proposed 3 new solutions:

1. National Bank2. Protective Tariffs3. Internal

Improvements

New National Bank

Proposed in 1816 by John C. Calhoun

Empowered bank to control state banks and issue notes that would serve as a national currency

Page 7: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Protective Tariffs

The Embargo of 1807 and the War of 1812 had kept Americans from buying British goods. Now they were available very cheaply. This hurt American businesses.

Congress passed the Tariff of 1816, which changed from a revenue to a protective tariff

Judicial Nationalism

The need for better roads was obvious during the War of 1812.

McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) – the “necessary and proper” clause of the Constitution allowed the government to use its powers in any way not specifically prohibited by the Constitution.

Page 9: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Judicial Cont.

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) – a state could regulate trade within its own borders, but the federal government could control interstate commerce.

Nationalist Diplomacy

Spain owned Florida until 1819. Runaway slaves would hide there and Seminoles would clash with white settlers on the frontier.

In 1818, Andrew Jackson led troops into Florida to seize settlements.

Page 11: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Adams-Onis Treaty

Secretary John Quincy Adams blamed Spain for not being able to control their colony and would not punish Jackson for the invasion.

Spain was having trouble with their other Latin American colonies and eventually ceded all of Florida to the U.S in the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the middle 1700s. It dramatically changed society in several ways:

Manufacturing shifted from hand tools to complex machines

Individual artisans switched to large work forces

Factories replaced home-based workshopsGoods were sold nationwide instead of just

locally

Page 22: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Capitalism

The United States industrialized quickly because of our free enterprise system and private property rights.

Low tax rates and little government interference opened the way for industry to grow and develop

Page 23: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Northeastern Industry

Swift-flowing streams in the Northeast made it easy to build factories with water power (Industrlization begins in Northeast)

Eli Whitney

Eli Whitney used a system of interchangeable parts for gun-making.

This revolutionized the production of many items and made it possible for people to buy standardized products cheaply.

Communications

In 1832, Samuel F. B. Morse developed a system called Morse code for the telegraph. By 1860, more than 50,000 miles of telegraph wire connected the country.

1848, a group of newspapers in New York created the Associated Press to collect and share news stories.

Immigration during Industrialization

Industrialization attracted people from all over the world who wanted a chance to make money in the U.S.

Between 1815 and 1860, over 5 million foreigners came to America

1845 – over 44,000 came from Ireland.

Women in the Workforce and Literacy

Many women found jobs in factories or as domestic servants. Some worked in the publishing industry, which was growing.

By 1840, the literacy rate was at 75% of the total population (90% of the white population) could read.

Page 31: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Workers Organize

Workers began to form labor unions in hopes of improving conditions. Many workers were paid low wages, especially women and children. A typical work day was 12 hours, sometimes under dangerous conditions.

Early labor unions had little real power.

1842- Commonwealth vs. Hunt- Union strikes, work stoppages, became legal.

Agriculture and the Economy

In spite of urban growth and industrialization, farming was still the leading economic activity throughout the country.

Major cash crops included: tobacco, rice paddies, sugar cane, and cotton

Eli and the Cotton Gin

1793 – Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. This machine allowed cotton seeds to be picked quickly as compared to picking by hand.

This invention coincided with the expansion of the British textile industry.

By 1801, annual production of cotton had soared to 100,000 bales and by 1860 to 4 million.

Page 37: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Cotton in the South

Southern cotton accounted for nearly 2/3 of the total export trade from the U.S. “Cotton was king.”

Page 38: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Slave holders in the South

Less than half of 1% of white Southern farmers in 1850 were considered “wealthy planters”.

Most were yeoman farmers, who were smaller and owned 4 or less slaves

About 30% were slaveholders

Fewer than 8,000 had 50 or more slaves

Only 11 had 500 or more slaves

Page 39: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Slavery Increasing

The cotton gin, increased demand for cotton in Europe and the natural reproduction of currently held slaves kept slavery alive. The slave trade had ended in 1808.

The slave system changed with the increased demand in cotton.

Slaves increased from 1.5 million in 1820 to 3.2 million in 1850 (37 % population of the South)

Page 41: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

System of Slavery

In the 1700s and early 1800s, slaves worked under a task system. Workers were given a set of jobs to be completed. Once the job was done, slaves were free to tend to their own families, or whatever else they wanted to do for the remainder of the day.

As the demand for cotton increased, slaveholders implemented the gang system, where an overseer would push the slaves to work all day long to keep production up.

Page 42: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Coping with Enslavement

Slave codes prevented slaves from owning property, leaving the plantation without permission, testifying in court, or learning to read or write.

Page 43: EARLY 1800S NATIONALISM AND INDUSTRIALIZATION. Essential Question What factors helped to lead to American Nationalism right around the turn of the 1800’s?

Nat Turner

Some slaves led revolts against the harsh treatment they received. One of the most famous cases was that of Nat Turner. He believed that God had chosen him to lead a raid, going from house to house, killing more than 50 white men, women and children.

Free African Americans

By 1850, over 225,000 free African Americans lived in the South. Some were successful enough to become slaveholders themselves.

197, 700 free African Americans lived in the North, where slavery was now illegal. They often faced racism and hardships, too.
