Wednesday 9.4.19

As the United States continued to expand even farther west, sectionalism and disagreements over slavery in the new territories continued to plague the nation. Also during this time, reformers began to work to improve society. Religious reformers focused on reviving Americans’ commitment to religion in what became known as the Second Great Awakening. Social reformers were involved in different reform efforts focusing on women’s rights, educational reform, and the abolition of slavery.

Today in class we will focus on the continued expansion westward of the United States, as well as the various reform movements that began in the early part of the 19th century. Below you will find our objectives, agenda, and homework for the day.

OBJECTIVES
1. Explain how the Texas Revolution and the Mexican-American War expanded the territory of the United States.
