Territorial Expansion Review
Directions: Under each complete the phrase, answer the question, fill in the blank, or define the definition.
Describe the Northwest Ordinance:
Provides gov for western territories based on Jefferson debates.
Territories would have governor secretary and 3 judges with freedom of religion, trial by jury and right of common law.
When territory had 5000 people would have elected assembly, when reached 60,000 could request statehood equal to each other 13.
Describe Jefferson’s plan to expand the US:
The plan was to get more land Jefferson wanted to expand pacific even through colonists and Indians already there.
Describe the Louisiana Purchase:
Jefferson reasoned that he could buy territory from Napolean. With other problems in Caribbean Napolean agrees and sells territories in 1803 Louisiana Purchase including New Oreleans.
Describe the Lewis and Clark Expedition:
Jefferson sends Lewis and Clark to explore territory. They were guided by an Indian Women named Sacagawea.
Describe the Monroe Doctrine:
Foreign policy doctrine formulated saying Europe should not become involved in Latin American affairs.
Was not that important when passed cause US could not enforce but becomes important in late 1800’s and 1900’s.
CURRENT EVENT
A current event going on is a 70 year old woman dieing because of the firemen’s inconsiderate thoughts. The senior citizen had placed the call in to the fire department already and firemen showed up but they didn’t get out the car to check the scene. Several hours later neighbors called reporting the fire that the firemen thought was invincible. They found the senior citizen dead, burned to death. I feel that the firemen were really inconsiderate and clueless. The only thing I want to know is why they didn’t get out and check the place..?
THE PATRIOT ESSAY QUESTION
The traditional tactics of the battle were ineffective against the British because the tactics weren’t beneficial. All the Colonial army did was came together and stood in a straight line allowing the British to take all of the army down at once. Once Benjamin Martin joined the colonial army those ineffective tactics changed to effective tactics because of his skills. He had techniques that lead them to victory without looking back. Those techniques were carefully thought out and planned based on the British reactions to the previous battles of from prior knowledge. Tactics similar to Martin’s became the way of the Colonial army because they were successful with the British. Why not use those same skillful tactics and result in victory.?
