n the 1800s, many regional cultures were developed. America began to see itself as a nation, however it was still divided by sectional interests, and this would only deepen with rapid industrialization and the issue of slavery. After president George Washington's presidency, a political calm fell over, but was disrupted by the conflict that arose between the Federalists and the Republicans. Throughout this time, industrialists began to remake rural villages into factory towns. However, textiles continued to be made in small household workshops.…
Although early America faced political and diplomatic problems during the time period of 1783-1801, the country was still able to be ran as an successful country. America was successful during this time due to their ability to manage foreign problems and create alliances, stabilizing the growth of America and, reclaiming and changing government power. America’s ability to resolve problems that had hindered the country were crucial for the growth of America. After the Revolutionary War between Britain and America, Britain continued to pester America by impressing American trade ships that pass or traded with Britain. The result of this was the creation of Jay's treaty; a treaty that stopped the British empressement and helped resolve the tension that Britain and the Us had.…
During this time period, America was in a state of constant expansion. This required the young country to get more and more land. Instead of growing cities on the land they already owned, they continued to push to take the entire continent.…

Prominent changes took place in the United States during the first century of its existence, some of which are westward expansion, industrial growth, and African-American rights. One of the prominent changes was Westward Expansion. In 1776, there were only 13 colonies, and they were all situated on the East Coast.…
After the American Revolution, America was in a state where it thought of itself as a free and unified nation when they were anything but, it took thousands of farmers to make Americans realize the problems at hand. Early day colonial America was a very hard-boiled place and many people were struggling under the new constitution of the Americas. It remained very tense until Daniel Shays led thousands of farmers and working men in protest after many farmers were burdened with debt after the recent war. In the government though the farmers were not given support, instead the Governor himself supported the creditors and tax collectors. This would all eventually lead to what is known as “Shay’s Rebellion”, in which he led thousands of men blocking courthouses and workplaces until they were eventually arrested or disbanded.…
By 1890 the U.S. had the world's most productive economy. From the Civil war until the 1890s almost all of Americans had a very little interest in the idea of territorial expansion. Americans resisted expansion all for two reasons, one of them was that imperial rule seemed inconsistent with Americans Republican principles. The other reason was that the united states people were interested in acquiring different people with different cultures and different languages and religions.…

Britain lost all of the land in the 13 colonies, and the land up until Mississipi and Michigan. This left Britain with only canada and a few other scattered places in the new…
Back in the 1800 's the U.S wanted to do a lot with only a little bit of power, and they eventually did do a lot over time. But one thing they wanted to do was expand and just to keep expanding to try and get as much land, money, and friends as possible to become big and strong like of other countries. The only difference was that the United States were a brand new country so they weren 't very big nor powerful, so they took many risks during the time they were getting larger. So considering all of this, the United States back in the 1800 's were too greedy during their Westward Movement for threatening, motivating and seizing things that weren 't theirs.…
“The mid-1840s were years of extraordinary territorial growth for the United States, a period in which the national domain increased by 1.2 million square miles, a gain of more than sixty percent. In 1845, the United States annexed Texas and the following year reached a settlement with Great Britain for control of the Pacific Northwest. Mexico's opposition to the annexation of Texas led to the Mexican War (1846–1848), which resulted in the U.S. acquisition of California and the American Southwest through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.” (Haynes) The term manifest destiny was first coined by John L. O’Sullivan, the editor of the United States Magazine.…
Between 1790 all through 1860 America was a new country trying to learn how to run itself. The success of the American Revolution brought hope of a country with a just government; a nation where every citizen has a say in how things are run. I believe America had only started to envision that, with citizens like William Manning proposing thoughts on how American government could be, but with concern about how it could get corrupted. The way some citizens would stay oppressed while others stood on their work. Such corrupt systems in the future did in fact defile the motions of liberty America started on.…
In the early stages of America’s expansion a few major factors motivated the expansion towards the west. America is a new country at this time, and is dealing with its new power and responsibility. People in America at the time looked towards the future wealth they could obtain by expanding west. With the new unknown land to the west, the American people needed motivation to expand westward. The politics that motivated westward expansion revolved around the indigenous people on the land, a big ideology which spurred westward expansion was Manifest Destiny, and the economic factor for this expansion was slavery and its role in the industrialization of America.…
The United States of America is known today as one of the greatest countries in the world, but it did not start out that way. The history of the United States began in 1776. America made the decision to successfully break away from Britain. Shortly after gaining their newfound independence, the founding fathers created the Declaration of Independence which offered freedom of speech and equality. The 1800s created a time of discord for the people of the nation.…
America has had a rocky start from the get-go. In the late 1700s we started our revolutionary war to get independence from the British. Led by George Washington we won our independence on July 4, 1776. Soon America would be thrown back into turmoil in the early 1800s when division between the north and south erupted into a war based on political disagreements.
