Always Sometimes Never

peaceful resistance

Resist as a way to draw attention to the problem

Resist using peaceful tactics

Addressing a law, practice, or policy that is unfair or unjustRequires many to participate for it to be effective

Reactions to it are violent

Takes several times to work

Must take the consequences of your actions (go to jail)

Make more enemies that friends

Never use it just to get your way.

Never use violence or harsh language.

Never works if you just do it by yourself.

Peaceful resistance can work to change unfair laws, but you need support from others, and you need to plan on it working slowly.

is about …Titanic lessons from a disasterhow a great ship sinking led to important lessons that changed society

Putting profit over safety = great loss of life

Are wealthy people more valuable?

When a myth is treated as a truth, people fool selves

Newspaper” Titanic largest & fastest, so it’s probably unsinkable”

Owners liked “unsinkable” idea, so they encouraged people to believe it

Builders began to believe the myth; took short-cuts

Lesson: Don’t believe it because somebody said it

Used cheaper steel (thin & brittle, 1 hull) so ship would not cost as much

Fewer lifeboats = more attractive ship = more people buying tickets

Fastest ship = more tickets sold = taking great risks in ice burg zoneLesson: Safety always produces greatest profit in the long run

Cabins closest to deck = most expensive = rich reach lifeboats 1st

Rich were given priority over poor for spaces on lifeboats

Many of the poorer people were locked below so they couldn’t escapeLesson: All human life is equally valuable, regardless of wealth

A great disaster can cause society to examine its values and practices so improvements can be made to save future lives

Lack of Lifeboats!

No control of events -- disorganization

Survival instincts took over for many -- People panicked (jumped overboard, fought, argued).

Approximately 1,500 lives were lost.

Many lifeboats empty or nearly empty.

792 were saved.

Tension: Ill feelings toward rich.

Conflict: Famous & rich people were given special treatment (saved vs. dead)

Issue: Why werenÕt there enough lifeboats? (luxury vs. safety)

Some bravely & calmly faced death.

Some collected loved ones to face death together.

Some sacrificed themselves so others could live..

Some simply couldnÕt believe it was happening.

Some desperately wanted to escape, but were locked in.

Most important idea of whole unit

Unit Civil War

…why there was a civil war in the US, what happened during the war, and what the US did after the war to try to fix things

Human rights (slavery) = core of political, economic, and social disputes that caused the war & in some ways, the war is still being fought

Key Idea 1

Sectionalism: North v. South differences in geography led to differences in cultures, economics, and beliefs

Key Idea 2

Different beliefs about states rights & what to do about slavery led to great distrust, political upheaval, and each side trying to politically dominate the other

Key Idea 3

Anti-slave states (N) supported having strong federal gov. Pro-slave states (S) wanted confederal gov. ( states more independent & make own laws)

Key Idea 4

Federal Government made many compromises to settle sectional disputes, but these just created more problems & disputes

Key Idea 5

Political activists and 1860 presidential campaign brought sectional concerns to boiling point – high emotions led to splitting US into two countries (USA & CSA)

Key Idea 6

All wars are won or lost via 4 basic strategies – Union used them more successfully

Key Idea 7

Excellent leaderships & many eager volunteers = S winning at first, but gradual loss of irreplaceable leaders, men & supplies caused S to eventually loose

Key Idea 8

“War is hell” – CW had huge (negative & positive) economic, social, & health impact on civilians & military

CORE CONCEPT B

.

CORE CONCEPT C

CORE CONCEPT D

CORE CONCEPT E

CORE CONCEPT A

CORE CONCEPT F

Sectionalism: North v. South differences in geography led to differences in cultures , economics, and beliefs

South had an agrarian economy because the warm climate and flat, fertile land made it conducive to large-scale farming. Although some railroads were developed, the major way to ship goods was on rivers via steamboats. Most roads were primitive, as were the vast majority of homes. Only 4 major ports – New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah & Charleston

The North principally had an industrial economy (mills, steel, iron, ship building, etc.) because of abundant natural resources (coal, iron, etc). Most factory workers were immigrants, usually Irish. Little large scale farming t b/c of rocky soil & short growing season. Many railroads were developed to transport goods to & from factories and to harbors. Steamships also used, as were mule-barges.

In the North, huge religious revivals in the 1820s led by popular preachers (Beecher, Taylor, Finney) were part of a religious movement to reform society. They advocated immediate emancipation of slaves, and by the 1830s, the abolitionist became more organized and militant as the Underground Railroad emerged.

Notion of huge plantations with hundreds of slaves being typical in the South is largely a myth (only 2% of farmers owned 99% of slaves). While some owned one or two slaves, the typical farmer couldn’t afford slaves and lived in very primitive homes; Some slave owners were abusive, but many treated slaves more like investments, using the threat of violence to control them.

Although there were many anti-slavery advocates in North, extreme forms of “isms” (racism, sexism) were also common in the North. African-Americans and immigrants were often paid tiny amounts of $$ to work long hours in factories & mines. Most poor (white or black) were excluded from social services like hospitals. Af-Americans, immigrants, and women were not allowed to vote.

Life was very harsh in North and South for those with little money. In Northern and Southern rural areas, people entertained themselves, usually by telling stories, singing, and, for those who could or were allowed, reading. People living in rural areas did subsistence farming and would barter homemade and homegrown rather than buy and sell things with money.

This event …

Fredrick Douglas helped the anti-slave movement gain momentum, this caused increase support for Lincoln’s antislavery campaign, and this eventually led to his election. Lincoln becoming elected caused southern states to withdraw from US. In an attempt to preserve the Union, Lincoln went to war. War resulted in freedom for slaves. Freed-blacks still treated very badly by racists across the country.

“Truths” about black people revealed as myths

Many beliefs about blacks were challenged

MYTH: Blacks need others to make decisions for them; TRUTH: Blacks usually ran plantations and made the major decisions needed

MYTH: Blacks prefer life as slave because of reduced stress: TRUTH: Many slaves were willing to sacrifice their lives for a chance at freedom

MYTH: Blacks lack higher-order thinking skills. TRUTH: Many slaves couldn’t read because law prohibited teaching reading to them

MYTH: Blacks are more like animals than humansTRUTH: Blacks often forced to live like animals;

Constant threat of having one’s family broken up

Constant threat of violence against self, family, or friends

Living in fear – fear of what happens if you run, fear of what happens if you stay, fear of what happen even if you escape

Constant message that blacks were inferior to whites, and were more like animals than humans

Fredrick Douglas’ experiences as a slave

Articulate, highly intelligent x-slave begins speaking out against slavery

Transformed a largely emotional issue (e.g., “Isn’t it sad the way slaves are treated?”) to an intellectual issue (the immorality of slavery). Big disconnect between derogation of and US black man as a slave living in US vs. “All men are created equal” phrase in Declaration if Independence

His ability to articulate ideas and debate them more effectively than most white people forced others to respect him and his message about slavery

Firing on Ft. Sumter

first shot of the American Civil War, creating a point-of-no-return for nonviolently resolving conflicts between the North and South.

Ft. Sumter was built by the Union forces and is located on an island in Charleston Bay. Southerners fired cannons at it until the Union forces surrendered. The excitement it created in the South and the resulting anger of the North led to war.

Years of angry debate about slavery --> Lincoln elected --> southern states start withdrawing from Union to form their own country (Confederacy)

Southerners wanted the weapons inside the fort so they demanded the North surrender it. They refused. No one knows which side fired first. After a brief battle, North surrendered the fort.

Lincoln couldn’t let south get away with what happened, so he sent Union ships to Charleston to try to retake the fort. This event led to war between Confederacy and the Union.

The Civil War ended slavery, but it took another 100 years to secure and protect the rights of African Americans.

There were many huge battles where thousands of men were killed in a single day.

Booker becomes accepted, but continues to have problems

B.T. Washington’s Journey

the difficult journey that Booker T. made to a school when he was a teenager (16)

Paying tuition - never had enough money, so he had to work plus find time to study

His mother and brother could only send a small amount of money

Loneliness -- when the other students went home for the summer

He had only 1 shirt and 1 pair of socks -- he had to wash them every night

Winners never quit, and quitters never win.It isn’t the problem -- it’s how you handle it that makes the difference.

Booker T. Washington arrives at Hampton, but problems were not over

Arrived with clothes that were worn out, dirty, and wrinkled

He had to find the “head teachers”

He had to pass Mrs. Mackie’s “cleaning test”

There were many others who tried to be accepted by Mrs. Mackie

It’s difficult for a poor 16-year-old black boy to travel

Ran out of money and had to walk part of the way to Richmond

Could not stay at hotel because he was black,slept under bridge

Finally got a job on a ship; not much money

Clothes were few and worn out

Brazil’s population explosion (need jobs & income!)

Limited resources & ways to make money

Access to media (TV) shows apparent wealth of rest of the world makes poor

Brazilians want “a piece of the economic pie”

Brazil’s poor economy / need for money

Foreign companies willing to pay $$$ for beef & wood (teak, mahogany, lumber)

Cutting down rain forests as fast as possible to make grazing land for cattle & to sell trees for lumber

New source of income making some Brazilians rich...provides many

temporary jobs

Thin top soil washing away because loss of rain forest root systems, results in desert

like conditions where little will grow

Because of lost ecosystems, many animals & plants rapidly becoming

extinct - lost opportunity for develop of new medicines?

Loss of vast areas of vegetation results in less oxygen in atmosphere, & more carbon dioxide ...global warming?

Must generate alternative source of income for Brazilians, or they won’t stop clearing rain forests -- what would be other ways for them to make

money & generate jobs?

Required active participation in organized groups

Many leaders, would not give up

Both focused on getting laws changed

Some positive changes, not enough

Progress comes when citizens get organized and get active. Social progress is slow, but does take place.

Americans decided that more problems were created by prohibition than the use of liquor. Therefore Congress passed the Twenty-First Amendment that repealed prohibition.

People found ways to drink at places called speakeasies. It caused wide spread lawbreaking and led to organized crime. It divided the nation into “Wets” & “Drys”

Citizens in violation of the law were to be arrested

To outlaw the consumption, manufacturing, and sales of alcohol

All Americans

It was a nationwide ban on the manufacture, sale, and transportation of liquor in the United StatesThat went into effect when the 18th Amendment was ratified in 1920.
