5th period- Personalities and Corrections

Today we went an assignment on choosing historical character personalities which range from Henry Clay to Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Students will prepare historically
relevant questions examining the causes of the Civil War for their character to
ask of at least five other personalities and be prepared to answer questions of them/their character. The lesson will begin with one character asking a question of another and continue until the teacher closes the lesson.

Mr. G also had remarks over the Indian Removal Act in relation to the Trail of tears, and Both the Panics of 1819 and 1837. Just so you know...

The Trail of Tears was when a minority of the Cherokee tribe, despite the protest of the majority, had surrendered their Georgia land in the 1835 Treaty of New Echota. During the winter of 1838 - 1839, troops under General Winfield Scott evicted them from their homes in Georgia and moved them to Oklahoma Indian country. Many died on the trail; the journey became known as the "Trail of Tears".

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was the transport of the southern tribes, Cherokee, Creek, Chocktaw, Chicksaw, and Seminole (many of whom adopted white customs), to the Oklahoma Indian country. The Indian removal opened up land for Southern planting.

The Panic of 1819 was a natural post-war depression caused by overproduction and the reduced demand for goods after the war. However, it was generally blamed on the National Bank.

The Panic of 1837 happened when Jackson was president. During his presidency, many state banks received government money that had been withdrawn from the Bank of the U.S. These banks issued paper money and financed wild speculation, especially in federal lands. Jackson issued the Specie Circular to force the payment for federal lands with gold or silver. Many state banks collapsed as a result. A panic ensued (1837). Bank of the U.S. failed, cotton prices fell, businesses went bankrupt, and there was widespread unemployment and distress.
