7. 1. Vocabulary: • Daniel Boone: famous American pioneer • Turnpike: Toll roads • Corduroy Road: roads made of sawed-off logs, laid side by side • Canal: a channel that is dug across land and filled with water • Missouri Compromise: a compromise developed in the Senate to satisfy both the slave and free states

8. 2. Mrs. Fagan…who the heck is president in the early 1800s?! Corrupt? Me? ……Nahh • 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

9. 3. Moving West • The 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

10. 4. Growing Population • The flow of immigrants west became a FLOOD, as western territories grew many became states • From 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

11. 5. Erie Canal Don’t test me bro…I got this! • Slow road travel isolated western farmers from their eastern markets • River transport was out of the question b/c they flowed north and south • In 1816, NY governor DeWitt Clinton proposed a canal from the Hudson River to Lake Erie • Many thought it couldn’t be done and called it “Clinton’s ditch” • The canal opened in 1825, and paid for itself within two years • Because of it’s location at the end of the Hudson River, NY became the richest city in the Nation

12. 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.
