CFHS AP US History-- for 10/10/06
Okay so today we got our vocabulary notecards back.
Notes:
"1790-1820"
Slavery was less labor intensive.
Cotton was their new cash crop and they eventually came out with the cotton gin which cleans the cotton and makes there less need for manual work.
The cotton faming industry thing moved towards the south.
They mainly had their cotton market in england.
The cotton gin was invented by eli whitney who also invented interchangable parts (the weapons used to be made by different people so when they broke it was hard to get them fixed. when eli came into the weaponry business, he said that if they were all made out of the same parts then when they broke it would be waaaay easier to fix.)
The need for slaves is going down so the slave owners could hire them out to other people or make them find a job in town and then work out a payment plan where they still get some money.
After 1808 there was no more atlantic slave trade, however there was some smuggling going on in the carolinas with the carribbean.
Prior to the cotton gin, some slave owners were letting slaves go that were moslty older and weaker.
Cotton could be grown on smaller farms along with the larger plantations and you could still make a profit... so it was AWESOMMMEEE!!!
In the Chesapeake, where they were mixing crops between neighbors, there was a shift to slaves working in artisan tradesmen work, and without much supervision.
Seaport cities were large trading centers by water with access to ocean and inland river ways. They were very dirty and urban.
There was a split between merchants, who were rich, and ship service men, who were poor.
Life for artisans changed in 1790. They were very highly thought of before when they would go through apprenticeship, then become journeymen, and then become master craftsmen. But then their status changed as factories came in and they were undercut and not really important anymore.
Father as a powerful figure in the family changed too. They dont have much to give their sons or daughters so the children realize that they would have to go out on their own and find a way of life. They didnt have to suck up to their fathers to get land because they wouldnt get it anyway.
People could marry whoever they wanted now, there were many premarital pregnancies between formerly engaged men and women, there was a rise in alcohol consumption (roads were so bad that many farmers could not get the rice they had to market without it spoiling or having to raise the price to make profit from the extra care it took to get it there.. and with the high prices no one would want to buy it. Sooo they would distil it in whiskey= unspoiled and they can make a lot of money!!)
Citizenship in the early 1700s was only for white land owning males, but by the 1790s-1800s they dropped the landowning part and just made it all white males (which still sucks) because less people owned property.
well thats all...
homework was to post on the blog about the article
