The Louisiana Purchase
Hi girls!
1.) Video: http://www.history.com/topics/louisiana-purchase/videos
2.) Overview: http://www.history.com/topics/louisiana-purchase
3.) Arguments for and Against the LA Purchase in America: https://ancestralfindings.com/louisiana-purchase-controversy/
4.) http://lehrmaninstitute.org/history/louisiana-purchase.html
5.) Negotiations and COMPROMISE with France: http://grishaclapp.weebly.com/negotiations.html
Girls, as you do your paper, remember that you must understand the perspective of AMERICA and the perspective of FRANCE. What did America want? What did France what? Why was the Louisiana Territory not worth the hassle for France? Why did America want it (and New Orleans) so badly?
You are to write an 8-10 paper AS A TEAM on this topic. Remember to include the CONFLICTS of The Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the Haitian Rebellion for France's side, and the idea of MANIFEST DESTINY on the American side.
Good luck! I'm here if you need any help.

Missouri Compromise
Hello boys,
Here are some helpful sites for you.
1.) Overview: http://www.history.com/topics/missouri-compromise
2.) Overview 2: https://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/Missouri.html
3.) Overview with map: https://www.britannica.com/event/Missouri-Compromise
4.) The "Triumvirate:" http://www.ushistory.org/us/30c.asp
Your job is to break down the perspective and arguments of a slave state that were best articulated by JOHN C. CALHOUN (South Carolina). Then, break down arguments of a free state best articulated by DANIEL WEBSTER (Massachusetts). Finally, really focus on the COMPROMISE that HENRY CLAY (Kentucky) brokered.
If that all makes sense, go ahead and begin working on your paper. I expect about 8-10 paragraphs in your ROUGH DRAFT. That rough Draft is due February 19th, the day we come back from mardi Gras break.
ESHGETIT!!!

Constitutional Convention
Hello boys,
1.) Overview - https://www.britannica.com/event/Constitutional-Convention
2.) JESUS - Here's an overview of The Connecticut Compromise (Great Compromise). You also will need to read the actual Constitution (Article I) and figure out where the Great Compromise is laid out.
- Overview: https://historyplex.com/the-great-compromise
- US Constitution: http://constitutionus.com/
- HINT: Your argument was between BIG states and SMALL states. Pay close attention to the Virgina Plan vs. the New Jersey Plan
3.) ALEXIS - Same as Jesus really. Read the overview. Understand the argument between SLAVE states and FREE states. Then, read the actual constitution (Article I) and figure out in what sections is the 3/5th Compromises laid out.
- https://constitution.laws.com/three-fifths-compromise
- US Constitution: http://constitutionus.com/
4.) Miguel - I'm giving you the most challenging assignment. You need to break down the philosophical argument between FEDERALISTS (proponents of a stronger federal gov't and ANTI-FEDERALISTS (proponents of a weaker federal gov't that would reserve more rights for the individual states).
- Overview: https://www.constitutionfacts.com/us-articles-of-confederation/the-great-debate/
- The Federalist Papers: This is a difficult read about why we have gov't. Either John Adams, Alexander Hamilton or John Jay wrote these articles and had them published around the country while they were debating the Constitution. It gives a great understanding of the Federalist arguments. https://www.constitutionfacts.com/us-articles-of-confederation/the-federalist-papers/
- Anti-Federalist Arguments: https://sites.google.com/a/ramapocentral.net/federalists-verse-anit--federalists/thomas-jefferson-and-the-anti-federalists
- Jefferson vs. Hamilton: http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/outlines/history-1994/the-formation-of-a-national-government/hamilton-vs-jefferson.php
- Bill of Rights: https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/bill-of-rights-transcript
You will get a couple hours of time to research in class this week. But, we're going to be very busy with iReady and preparing for ELDA, so we're going to need to get most of this work done over Mardi Gras Break.
Your Rough Drafts are going to be due on Monday, February 19th (first Monday after Mardi Gras).
Good luck boys!
