Age of Jackson & Westward Expansion Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
Political Conflict and Economic Crisis
During Jackson’s two terms as President, conflicts and crises shook the nation. Some were thrust upon Jackson by the grinding of sectional rivalries. Others were events of his own making. The effects of his responses to these crises were felt throughout the nation for decades to come.
Conflict with American Indians
When the first Europeans arrived in North America, they settled on lands that had belonged to American Indians. Although the two groups made attempts to cooperate, repeated conflicts brought tension, mistrust, and sometimes violence.
