Manifest Destiny

Next, revisit the picture now that we have defined Manifest Destiny. Summarize how this picture portrays the concept of MD, what can you see in the picture that shows you the characteristics and examples of MD?

1. Vocabulary: Daniel Boone: famous American pioneer Turnpike: Toll roadsCorduroy Road: roads made of sawed-off

logs, laid side by sideCanal: a channel that is dug across land and

filled with waterMissouri Compromise: a compromise

developed in the Senate to satisfy both the slave and free states

2. Mrs. Fagan…who the heck is president in the early 1800s?! Election of 1824-Dem. Republicans are the only party

running candidates Running for President was John Q. Adams(84) and Andrew

Jackson(99) and William Crawford(41) and Henry Clay(37). Because there was no majority in electoral votes, the

election once again went to the HOR. Henry Clay is the Speaker of the House of Representatives

and basically chooses who wins. Crawford has a stroke right before the HOR vote…he’s out. Comes down between Adams (the intellect) or Jackson (the

war hero) Clay chooses Adams because he believes he can beat him

in the next election…tricky move. Adams is elected and makes Clay his Sec. of State Jackson was furious b/c he felt Clay manipulated the

election….err….he did! Adams spent his entire administration trying to prove the

election wasn’t corrupt

Corrupt? Me?

……Nahh

3. Moving WestThe western frontier continued to

move west as Americans pushed further into the interior of America

Daniel Boone was a famous early pioneer who with a party of 30 men cleared a new route to the West called the Wilderness Road

It became the main route across the Appalachian Mountains

Over time, pioneers will create many routes for westward travel

4. Growing Population The flow of immigrants west became a FLOOD, as

western territories grew many became statesFrom 1792 to 1819, eight states joined the Union:

Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois and Alabama

As whites moved west to settle they realized the old game trails were unpaved and hard to travel

So, private companies funded by capitalists began to build turnpikes. The Lancaster Turnpike was the first long-distance stone road in the US

Corduroy roads were built in marshy areas, but horses could not cross them without hazard

5. Erie CanalSlow road travel isolated western farmers from

their eastern marketsRiver transport was out of the question b/c

they flowed north and southIn 1816, NY governor DeWitt Clinton proposed

a canal from the Hudson River to Lake ErieMany thought it couldn’t be done and called it

“Clinton’s ditch”The canal opened in 1825, and paid for itself

within two yearsBecause of it’s location at the end of the

Hudson River, NY became the richest city in the Nation

Don’t test me bro…I

got this!

6. The Missouri Compromise Movement west was strengthened the nation, but it also

caused a major issue between the N. and S. The issue was the extension of slavery west. By 1819, the nation consisted of an equal amount of slave and

free states (EQUAL representation in the Senate and HOR) But when Missouri applies for statehood in 1819, there is

problem… Would it permit or not permit slavery? Northerners reacted strongly..another slave state would give

the South more voice in Senate and more powerful Maine also applied for statehood during the next session of

Congress Henry Clay in 1820 persuaded Congress to adopt the

Missouri Compromise which permitted Maine to be added as a free state and Missouri as a slave state

This kept things equal in the Senate (11 free and 11 slave states), but also gave southern slave owners a clear right to pursue escaped fugitives into “free” regions and return them to slavery.
