Manifest Destiny (H2): Manifest Destiny was the concept that the United States had a God-given
right to claim territory across North America.
Homestead Act (H2): The Homestead Act was a law that let U.S. Citizens or people who wanted to
become citizens file for 160 acres of free land in the West. This act was passed by Abraham Lincoln in
1862. Two reasons why this act was ratified (officieel erkend):
1. The government requires people to live and improve the land in the west of Mississippi River.
2. The land given to the individuals after five years granted as freehold ownership. (elevate the
condition of men)
Wounded knee (Massacre) (H2): On December 29 1890, A group of the tribe Lakota Sioux left their
reservation (place they were forced to live) to join another tribe nearby for safety. (their leader was
Chief Spotted Elk) A party of soldiers from the American Government stopped them on the way and
marched them to an army post at Wounded knee creek. The next morning, the Lakota Sioux were
forced to give up their guns. One warrior refused and one shot rang out. Many more followed and
the soldiers began shooting down the Lakota Sioux men, woman and children. Within minutes, many
of them were badly wounded or dead. The bloody confrontation is now known as the Wounded Knee
Massacre and it clamed the lives of 300 Lakota Sioux. This was the last battle of the American-Indian
wars and also marked the end of all hope for a return to the Native Americans traditional way of life
in the plains.
Indenturend servant (H3): This were slaves who were shipped the United Stated and had to work on
plantations for usually 7 years. In exchange they got food and clothes. After those 7 years they got (if
they were lucky) a piece of land so they could farm. The work circumstances in the plantations were
so hard that most of them did not survive those 7 years.
Puritans (H3): They arrived in 1630 in Massachusetts Bay. The Puritans were actually Pilgrim fathers,
but they wanted the church of England to become plainer and purer. Therefore, they were called the
Puritans. They must follow biblical principles. They believe that ‘they are God’s chosen people and
that the US is their Chosen land. (Idleness is sin. - All men are equal and should govern themselves; if
you do fine financially that’s a sign from god that you are in his good books.
Influence on present day: Their religion still influences the US today, for example; the president takes
an oath on their bible.
Pelgrims (H3): the ‘original’ Puritans who sailed to America to find religious freedom in 1620
(Plymouth, Massachusetts). They sometimes call them this way because they see them as the most
important of the founders of the future United States.
Wasp Nation (H4): This was a nation of White Anglo Saxon Protestants. They liked them more to
work on the plantations.
City upon a Hill (H1/3) : One of the first leaders named John Winthrop said he could build an ideal
community where the world could learn from. They would look like ‘a city upon a Hill’. This means
that all eyes would look upon us.
ALSO: Early colonists from England settled 'on a city upon a hill' and believed they were supposed to
be an example for the rest of the world.
, Checks and balances (H5):
- the Executive Branch had the power to veto bills from the Legislative branch
- the Executive Branch appoints judges to fill vacancies in the court (supreme court) for the Judicial
branch
- The legislative can declare war when the Executive Branch asks for approval.
Fill in:
Branch Members Function
Executive Branch President – Vice President – Sees to it that laws are carried
White House Staff (cabinet) out.
Judicial Branch Supreme court (9 judges Protection of individual rights.
appointed by the President
(for life))
Legislative Branch Congress: Senate – house of Writes, debates, and passes
representatives bills.
Why is the first amendment the first amendment? (H7):
VRAAG GESTELD AAN MARJON OF T T GOEDE ANTWOORD IS, WACHT OP ANTWOORD.
Prevents the government for having any authority in religion, also shall not prohibit free exercise of
religion.
-In theory government and church are separate but in practise they are not always.
-Congress cannot make laws against religion or promote religion.
- Churches get no funds for government but do not pay taxes either.
-Division church and state: but evangelical rights have lots of political power so religious morals do
influence political debate. F.i. Abortion.
This is the first amendment because it is the most important one. It is the protection of the
democracy. The freedoms of speech, press, assembly and the right to petition the government and
seek redress of grievances proclaim that citizens have the right to call the government to account.
