Back in the U.S.A…. Post-Latin American Revolutions • 1822 – Latin America had become a profitable trading market for U.S. and Britain • 1823 – Monroe Doctrine – declared the Americas was no longer open for colonization by any European powers and to not interfere in their affairs. Manifest Destiny • Purchase of Louisiana Purchase – Napoleon sold to U.S. in 1803 (prez - Jefferson) • Mexican-American War (1846-1848) – American victory: receives Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico = NATIONALISM Rise of Sectionalism **Sectionalism – extreme devotion to the interests of 1 part or region of the country North – industries & cities/South & West – agriculture Slavery **plantation – large farm worked usually by slaves • Most believed that slavery should not be allowed to spread outside the Southern states **abolitionists – a person acting to end slavery (mostly Northerners) Tariff Policy **tariff – tax on goods brought into a country • Northern businesspeople want to protect their industries from foreign competition • Southerners traded mainly with Europe: cotton, tobacco, and other agricultural products for manufactured goods 1850-1861 Tensions increase • Political differences: Democrats (proslavery, low-tariff) VS Republicans (antislavery, high-tariff) • Northerners dominate (more states & larger population) = Southerners threaten to secede **secede – to withdraw formally from a group or the national government South secedes • Nov. 1860 – Lincoln elected president – Over next 3 months: S. Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas seceded from the U.S. (The Union) – Formed the Confederate States of America – Spring 1861: North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Arkansas join Confederacy U.S. Civil War **Confederacy – alliance of Southern states after they withdrew from the Union **Union – the states that remained loyal to the national government and opposed the Confederacy • Fighting breaks out on April 2, 1861 and lasts until April 1865 – Most of the fighting takes place in the Southern states marked with bloodshed and destruction End of the War • Northern victory in 1865 = Southern states rejoin the Union and ended slavery • Lincoln assassinated in April before he could “bind up the wounds of the nation” **Reconstruction – the period after the Civil War (1865-1877) when the Southern states were occupied by Northern troops Reconstruction • Reunification controlled by Radial Republicans – Made it difficult for the South to rejoin – Southern states occupied by Northern troops + lost political rights = kept sectional bitterness alive for long after war ended http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pemkR3k3kyM
