Module Seven: New Arrivals (1804 CE -1828 CE)
The period between 1804 and 1828 in the United States was marked by significant historical events that had a lasting impact on the nation. From the Louisiana Purchase to the rise of Andrew Jackson, this era shaped American history and set the stage for future developments in politics, economics, and culture. Today, it is crucial to study this subject to understand how these events shaped the United States and how they continue to influence the country today.
One of the most significant events of this period was the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. This acquisition of land from France effectively doubled the size of the United States and gave the nation control over the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans. This land acquisition set the stage for westward expansion and increased American influence in North America. It also helped to solidify the concept of Manifest Destiny, the idea that it was America's destiny to expand and control the continent.
Another major event during this period was the War of 1812. This conflict between the United States and Great Britain had multiple causes, including British impressment of American sailors, trade restrictions, and territorial expansion. The war ended in a stalemate, but it cemented the United States as a major player on the world stage and strengthened nationalism within the country.
In the aftermath of the War of 1812, the era of good feelings began. This period of relative peace and prosperity was marked by a surge in nationalism, economic growth, and westward expansion. The presidency of James Monroe saw the United States expand further west with the admission of new states and the establishment of new territories.
However, this era was not without its negatives. The rise of Andrew Jackson in the late 1820s marked a shift towards a more populist and divisive political climate. Jackson's policies, including the Indian Removal Act, were highly controversial and led to the forced relocation of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands. This period also saw the continuation of slavery, with many southern states expanding the practice and increasing tensions between north and south.
Overall, the period between 1804 and 1828 was crucial to American history and continues to shape the nation today. The Louisiana Purchase and westward expansion helped to solidify the concept of Manifest Destiny, while the War of 1812 and the era of good feelings strengthened nationalism and economic growth. However, the rise of Andrew Jackson and the continuation of slavery demonstrate the complexities and contradictions of American history.

#7 Historiography is Important and is Never Stagnant.
What does this word mean, which sounds like many other words yet is still challenging to say? By Wikipedia standards, historiography is the study of historians' methods in developing history as an academic discipline; by extension, it is any body of historical work on a subject. The Historiography of a specific topic covers how historians have studied that topic using sources, techniques, and theoretical approaches.
This is a fancy way of saying that history lenses are all different as we value things differently over time. An ancient Greek historian like Herodotus will interpret data and culture much other than someone more contemporary like Howard Zinn. All voices are important, but we need to remember who and why these voices are talking. Think of all the people over time that could have contributed to historical thought that just never learned to read or write? That is a substantial missing demographic we take for granted. Things like the internet have revolutionized how we collect data and record history, a far cry from the archaic days of parchments and scrolls.
Currently, history's battle lines are drawn in the sand with "traditional" and "revisionist" history. As we have seen in the other rules, history can easily be manipulated for political gains. But the term "revisionist" seems silly when you investigate our historiography. We aren't changing history; we are merely reshaping how we view history. I'll bore you later with the tedious speech of confederate statues, which I assume you already have a preconceived notion about.
Historiography is a vital part of the study of history. It goes beyond merely collecting facts to examine the methods, assumptions, and interpretations used in creating historical works. Historiography is far from static; it is a constantly evolving field that changes with discoveries, perspectives, and interpretations. Although there are both benefits and drawbacks to historiography, it continues to be an indispensable part of history study. Historiography is cool because it gives historians the middle finger to old interpretations of history. Like, before the 1960s, the story of Native Americans was all about how they were savages and stuff, thanks to the white dudes writing the history books. But then, the American Indian Movement came along and said, "Hey, let's hear from the actual Native Americans about their history." So, Vine Deloria Jr. and others published books like Custer Died for Your Sins (1969), and God is Red (1973), which told it like it is and paved the way for more inclusive and accurate histories of Native Americans.
Historiography: It's like digging deep into the past to understand better how we got to where we are today. Historians are like culinary explorers, always searching for new ingredients to add to their dishes. And when they find something new, like the Dead Sea Scrolls, it's like discovering a rare spice that takes their dish to the next level. The Scrolls gave us a peek into the beliefs and practices of the Essenes, a Jewish sect and helped us better understand the history of Judaism and early Christianity. That's some deep flavor right there. Historiography is not all sunshine and rainbows. Yeah, it's got some benefits, but there's a dark side to it too. One of the things that can screw things up is bias. Historians they got their ideas and their ways of seeing things, and that can mess with their interpretations. Take the Cold War, for instance. Many American historians were anti-communist, and that bias seeped into their work. The result? Many histories of the Soviet Union and communism were just plain distorted. That anti-communist bias was like a fog. It clouded everything, and the truth was hard to find.
Another curse of historiography is its susceptibility to politics. Many historians toil under the sway of government or political factions and are compelled to craft histories that favor their patrons' agendas. In the Third Reich era, the Fatherland's scholarly scribes were coerced to fashion histories that lauded the Nazi Party and its ideologies. This putrid influence infected the annals of history, tainting it with the stench of deceit and half-truths, ultimately resulting in a distorted view of the atrocities committed by the regime.
In sum, historiography plays a crucial role in the study of history by allowing historians to question and alter previous historical interpretations and thus gain a deeper understanding of the past. Although historiography presents advantages and disadvantages, it remains a vital aspect of historical inquiry today. By remaining mindful of the potential biases and political influences that can taint historiography, historians can strive to produce objective and truthful historical accounts.

THE RUNDOWN
- Historiography means studying how historians make history an academic subject. It includes examining how they view a topic using different sources, working methods, and theories.
- It is essential because it's about gathering facts and exploring the methods, assumptions, and interpretations used in creating historical works. It's constantly changing with discoveries, ideas, and viewpoints.
- However, historiography can be influenced by bias and politics, which can lead to inaccurate historical accounts.
- Historiography can reshape how we understand history by allowing historians to challenge earlier interpretations and create a better understanding of the past.
- Examples of historiography in action include Native American historical perspectives and the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which helped better understand the history of Judaism and early Christianity.
THE STATE OF THE UNION
May 6, 1828 - A treaty with the Cherokee moved the western border of Arkansas Territory, returning part of it to unorganized territory.
1828 was a carnival of contradictions and transformations, a world in upheaval where the ink of yesterday's maps smudged into tomorrow's aspirations. In the United States, Andrew Jackson's dramatic rise heralded an era of Jacksonian Democracy, expanding political engagement for white men while silencing others. Still reeling from the Napoleonic Wars, Europe saw the Holy Alliance's efforts to stifle revolution. Latin America surged with independence fervor, Brazil crowning Dom Pedro I. The Industrial Revolution roared, reshaping society with smoke-belching factories and the advent of passenger railways. Romanticism's cultural rebellion flourished through poets like Byron and Wordsworth, while Noah Webster's dictionary redefined American English. Beethoven and Mendelssohn's symphonies soared, and urbanization crammed masses into gritty cities. Slavery's persistence sparked louder abolitionist cries. Friedrich Wöhler's synthesis of urea shattered scientific paradigms, and explorers charted unknown lands. Fashion shifted from Regency elegance to Victorian restraint as the printing press spread knowledge, fueling the collective consciousness. The interconnectedness of these global events was evident, making the audience feel the unity of human history. Thus, 1828 was a narrative in flux, blending old and new, revolution and evolution, chaos and order, capturing a world on the cusp of modernity.

- Jefferson became president in 1801, promoting ideas of democracy and equality.
- Jefferson believed in a small government with less control over people's lives. He reduced the size of the military and cut taxes.
- In 1803, Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from France, doubling the size of the U.S. This move provided more land for farming and expansion.
- Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the new territory. Their journey provided valuable information about the land and its resources.
- The Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison in 1803 established the principle of judicial review, giving courts the power to declare laws unconstitutional.
- During Jefferson's presidency, Britain and France were at war. Both nations interfered with American trade, leading to tensions.
- To avoid conflict, Jefferson enacted the Embargo Act, stopping all American trade with foreign countries. This hurt the U.S. economy and was very unpopular.
- Jefferson's presidency shaped the idea of a democratic and more equal America, but he faced criticism for some of his policies, like the Embargo Act.
Howard Zinn was a historian, writer, and political activist known for his critical analysis of American history. He is particularly well-known for his counter-narrative to traditional American history accounts and highlights marginalized groups' experiences and perspectives. Zinn's work is often associated with social history and is known for his Marxist and socialist views. Larry Schweikart is also a historian, but his work and perspective are often considered more conservative. Schweikart's work is often associated with military history, and he is known for his support of free-market economics and limited government. Overall, Zinn and Schweikart have different perspectives on various historical issues and events and may interpret historical events and phenomena differently. Occasionally, we will also look at Thaddeus Russell, a historian, author, and academic. Russell has written extensively on the history of social and cultural change, and his work focuses on how marginalized and oppressed groups have challenged and transformed mainstream culture. Russell is known for his unconventional and controversial ideas, and his work has been praised for its originality and provocative nature.

Zinn, A People's History of the United States
"... Tecumseh, a Shawnee chief and noted orator, tried to unite the Indians against the white invasion:
'The way, and the only way, to check and to stop this evil, is for all the Redmen to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land, as it. was at first and should be yet; for it was never divided, but belongs to all for the use of each. That no part has a right to sell, even to each other, much less to strangers-those who want all and will not do with less.'
Angered when fellow Indians were induced to cede a great tract of land to the United States government, Tecumseh organized in 1811 an Indian gathering of five thousand, on the bank of the Tallapoosa River in Alabama, and told them: 'Let the white race perish. They seize your land; they corrupt your women, they trample on the ashes of your dead! Back whence they came, upon a trail of blood, they must be driven...'"

"... America’s execution of the war had extracted a begrudging respect from Britain. In the future, Britain and all of Europe would resort to negotiation, not war, in disputing America; they had learned to fear and respect this new member in the family of nations. Americans’ subsequent reference to the War of 1812 as the Second War for Independence was well founded. On the home front, the war produced important military and political changes, especially in the Ohio Valley, where the hostile Indian tribes were utterly defeated. But so too were the Creek of Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. The War of 1812 set the stage for the first Seminole War (1818), Black Hawk’s War (1832), and the federal Indian Removal that would, in a mere twentyfive years, exile most remaining Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Chickasaw Indians to the Indian Territory in Oklahoma. In a sense, the War of 1812 was not so much a victory over England as over the Indians, smashing the power forever of all tribes east of the Mississippi..."

Tecumseh, the astute Shawnee chieftain, sensed the impending storm as white settlers encroached upon Native American territories, foretelling dire consequences. With sagacity in his eyes, he yearned to unify the scattered tribes, forging an invincible force to thwart the relentless expansionist desires of the United States. At the dawn of the 19th century, Tecumseh envisaged a grand coalition, a tapestry of tribal unity, poised to confront the relentless march for territorial acquisition.
In the untamed wilderness of what we now know as Indiana, Tecumseh, and his enigmatic brother, dubbed "The Prophet," erected the audacious haven of Prophetstown. In a landscape veiled in uncertainty and turmoil, their indomitable spirit blazed with an unwavering determination, sparking a fiery resistance that echoed through the annals of history. Their courageous efforts reverberated with a singular purpose: to forge a unifying alliance among the tribes, steadfastly resisting the rapacious encroachments of the voracious US government, resolute in their refusal to relinquish their sacred ancestral lands. Tecumseh, the visionary Native American leader of the early 19th century, tragically saw his grand plan unravel as tribal factions failed to find common ground, culminating in their defeat at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. The aftermath of this devastating loss only compounded the tribes' predicament, intensifying the external pressures and ultimately paving the way for their wrenching displacement from ancestral lands.
The War of 1812, an annoying storm of chaos and bloodshed, unleashed its wrath upon the Native American tribes, thrusting them deep into the heart of a relentless maelstrom. Caught betwixt the clashing titans, the United States and Great Britain, they were coerced to dance the treacherous tango of allegiance. The consequences were dire and unforgiving as losses mounted and the battlegrounds became a seething cauldron of territorial disputes, searing wounds that bled beneath a remorseless sky. Amidst the turbulent war, the Creek, Choctaw, and Cherokee tribes found themselves wrestling with the problem of allegiance. Divided within, they grappled with a profound dilemma, pondering the course to embrace. A faction sought solace in the arms of the British, envisioning them as a savior to halt the relentless march of settlers encroaching upon their sacred soil. Meanwhile, a wistful hope flickered in the hearts of others, yearning for the United States to emerge as a guardian of their beloved homeland, shielding it from the ruthless hands of usurpation. In this maelstrom of uncertainty, the tribes found themselves trapped in the crossfire, striving to navigate the treacherous path.
In the fierce clash between tribes and the British, fleeting gains emerged for those who dared to oppose. The Creek Nation, albeit momentarily, halted the relentless encroachment of the United States upon their sacred Southeastern territories. With its ripples of defiance, this conflict shattered preconceived notions as Native American warriors displayed their formidable prowess, breaking stereotypes and affirming their indomitable spirit. In the fierce battles against the British, the tribes emerged with fleeting triumphs, their audacious efforts yielding momentary respite. Notably, the Creek Nation valiantly halted the insatiable hunger of the United States, momentarily stemming the encroachment upon their cherished Southeastern lands. Through this arduous conflict, the Native American warriors shattered entrenched stereotypes, defiantly showcasing their indomitable prowess and tenacious spirit, unequivocally affirming their formidable might upon the battlefield.
When the Treaty of Ghent stepped into the ring, declaring the war's end, it conveniently forgot to RSVP to the Native American tribes' concerns. No, sir! It had bigger fish to fry, securing land gains for the almighty United States and Great Britain. As luck would have it, this gave the settlers a surge of audacity, as they had just discovered a different life in a video game. With newfound confidence, they cranked up the heat on the tribes, coercing and persuading them to relinquish their precious land. Oh, the dance of power, where fairness seems to be the elusive wallflower. In the war's twisted aftermath, the US government's bureaucratic vultures sharpened their talons. They set forth with renewed zeal to expel the Native American tribes from the sacred grounds that echoed with their ancestral whispers. With the stroke of a quill in 1830, they birthed the devilish Indian Removal Act, unleashing a maelstrom of suffering and despair known as the Trail of Tears. This wretched expulsion reverberated through the veins of Native American society, strangling their identity and laying waste to their delicate economies. Oh, what a grand spectacle it was as these mighty warriors were yanked from their homelands, their hearts torn. The wheels of progress turned, crushing the spirit of these resilient souls beneath the weight of progress, for there was no mercy to be found in the relentless march of manifest destiny.
The Cherokee Nation thought they were getting clever with their fancy scribbles and copycat governance like those pompous Yankees. They dared to step into the ring, challenging the almighty United States, slapping their sovereignty on the table. Ah, but the Supreme Court had a chuckle, casting their vote in favor of the Cherokee in Worcester v. Georgia (1832). The joke was on them because old Andy Jackson shrugged off the ruling like yesterday's hangover and dragged those poor Cherokee souls out of their homes. A trail was laid before them, the Trail of Tears, and they marched to the beat of their broken dreams while Jackson reveled in his audacious victory. In the epic struggle of the forced removal, Native Americans flexed their mighty muscles of resilience and vowed to safeguard their sacred cultural flame. The valiant tribes, led by the courageous Cherokee warriors, engaged in legal combat that turned heads, compelling the US government to reconsider their treatment of the Native American people in the ensuing tumultuous chapters.
The tragic chapter of forced removal, a bitter cocktail of suffering, death, and chaos thrust upon Native American tribes. Families were ripped apart, communities wrenched from their ancestral grounds, and livelihoods obliterated like an overcooked soufflé. The consequences, my friends, resonated for generations, inflicting scars that still haunt the very fabric of their existence—a bitter taste in the mouth of history. Delving into the exploits of Tecumseh, the repercussions of the War of 1812 and the harsh displacements suffered by tribes hold vital significance in comprehending the annals of US history. These intricate episodes offer a glimpse into the enduring effects of Native American dispossession, the far-reaching repercussions of American expansionism, and the ongoing tribulations confronting indigenous communities. By scrutinizing these chronicles' virtuous and harmful facets, we can fashion a more well-rounded and all-encompassing perception of the American saga.

In a landscape veiled in uncertainty and turmoil, their indomitable spirit blazed with an unwavering determination, sparking a fiery resistance that echoed through the annals of history. Their courageous efforts reverberated with a singular purpose: to forge a unifying alliance among the tribes, steadfastly resisting the rapacious encroachments of the voracious US government, resolute in their refusal to relinquish their sacred ancestral lands. Tecumseh, the visionary Native American leader of the early 19th century, tragically saw his grand plan unravel as tribal factions failed to find common ground, culminating in their defeat at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. The aftermath of this devastating loss only compounded the tribes' predicament, intensifying the external pressures and ultimately paving the way for their wrenching displacement from ancestral lands.
The War of 1812, an annoying storm of chaos and bloodshed, unleashed its wrath upon the Native American tribes, thrusting them deep into the heart of a relentless maelstrom. Caught betwixt the clashing titans, the United States and Great Britain, they were coerced to dance the treacherous tango of allegiance. The consequences were dire and unforgiving as losses mounted and the battlegrounds became a seething cauldron of territorial disputes, searing wounds that bled beneath a remorseless sky. Amidst the turbulent war, the Creek, Choctaw, and Cherokee tribes found themselves wrestling with the problem of allegiance. Divided within, they grappled with a profound dilemma, pondering the course to embrace. A faction sought solace in the arms of the British, envisioning them as a savior to halt the relentless march of settlers encroaching upon their sacred soil. Meanwhile, a wistful hope flickered in the hearts of others, yearning for the United States to emerge as a guardian of their beloved homeland, shielding it from the ruthless hands of usurpation. In this maelstrom of uncertainty, the tribes found themselves trapped in the crossfire, striving to navigate the treacherous path.
In the fierce clash between tribes and the British, fleeting gains emerged for those who dared to oppose. The Creek Nation, albeit momentarily, halted the relentless encroachment of the United States upon their sacred Southeastern territories. With its ripples of defiance, this conflict shattered preconceived notions as Native American warriors displayed their formidable prowess, breaking stereotypes and affirming their indomitable spirit. In the fierce battles against the British, the tribes emerged with fleeting triumphs, their audacious efforts yielding momentary respite. Notably, the Creek Nation valiantly halted the insatiable hunger of the United States, momentarily stemming the encroachment upon their cherished Southeastern lands. Through this arduous conflict, the Native American warriors shattered entrenched stereotypes, defiantly showcasing their indomitable prowess and tenacious spirit, unequivocally affirming their formidable might upon the battlefield.
When the Treaty of Ghent stepped into the ring, declaring the war's end, it conveniently forgot to RSVP to the Native American tribes' concerns. No, sir! It had bigger fish to fry, securing land gains for the almighty United States and Great Britain. As luck would have it, this gave the settlers a surge of audacity, as they had just discovered a different life in a video game. With newfound confidence, they cranked up the heat on the tribes, coercing and persuading them to relinquish their precious land. Oh, the dance of power, where fairness seems to be the elusive wallflower. In the war's twisted aftermath, the US government's bureaucratic vultures sharpened their talons. They set forth with renewed zeal to expel the Native American tribes from the sacred grounds that echoed with their ancestral whispers. With the stroke of a quill in 1830, they birthed the devilish Indian Removal Act, unleashing a maelstrom of suffering and despair known as the Trail of Tears. This wretched expulsion reverberated through the veins of Native American society, strangling their identity and laying waste to their delicate economies. Oh, what a grand spectacle it was as these mighty warriors were yanked from their homelands, their hearts torn. The wheels of progress turned, crushing the spirit of these resilient souls beneath the weight of progress, for there was no mercy to be found in the relentless march of manifest destiny.
The Cherokee Nation thought they were getting clever with their fancy scribbles and copycat governance like those pompous Yankees. They dared to step into the ring, challenging the almighty United States, slapping their sovereignty on the table. Ah, but the Supreme Court had a chuckle, casting their vote in favor of the Cherokee in Worcester v. Georgia (1832). The joke was on them because old Andy Jackson shrugged off the ruling like yesterday's hangover and dragged those poor Cherokee souls out of their homes. A trail was laid before them, the Trail of Tears, and they marched to the beat of their broken dreams while Jackson reveled in his audacious victory. In the epic struggle of the forced removal, Native Americans flexed their mighty muscles of resilience and vowed to safeguard their sacred cultural flame. The valiant tribes, led by the courageous Cherokee warriors, engaged in legal combat that turned heads, compelling the US government to reconsider their treatment of the Native American people in the ensuing tumultuous chapters.
The tragic chapter of forced removal, a bitter cocktail of suffering, death, and chaos thrust upon Native American tribes. Families were ripped apart, communities wrenched from their ancestral grounds, and livelihoods obliterated like an overcooked soufflé. The consequences, my friends, resonated for generations, inflicting scars that still haunt the very fabric of their existence—a bitter taste in the mouth of history. Delving into the exploits of Tecumseh, the repercussions of the War of 1812 and the harsh displacements suffered by tribes hold vital significance in comprehending the annals of US history. These intricate episodes offer a glimpse into the enduring effects of Native American dispossession, the far-reaching repercussions of American expansionism, and the ongoing tribulations confronting indigenous communities. By scrutinizing these chronicles' virtuous and harmful facets, we can fashion a more well-rounded and all-encompassing perception of the American saga.

With a lofty goal of creating a united Native nation and reclaiming lost land, Tecumseh joined forces with his brother Tenskwatawa, The Prophet, who sparked a religious revival among the tribes. Armed with diplomacy and the power of persuasion, Tecumseh embarked on a mission to rally the tribes against assimilation, urging them to form a confederacy that would make even the Avengers jealous.

In the land between 1804 and 1828, some real heavy stuff went down in the good ol' US of A. First, they bought a whole chunk of land, called the Louisiana Purchase. Doubled the size of the country! Y'know what that means? Westward expansion and all that jazz. America flexin' its muscles, sayin', "Hey, world, we're here, we're big, and we ain't messin' around."
But that ain't all, oh no. Next came the War of 1812. A real nasty tussle with Britain, testing America's mettle on the global stage. They held their ground and showed some national pride, like, "We're the big boys now, and you better take us seriously!" And then came this era of good feelings, when everyone was all giddy with nationalism, economy growin', and marchin' westward like there's no tomorrow. But soon, things turned sour. This fella named Andrew Jackson popped up, a real populist guy, bringin' that division right in your face. His policies, especially the Indian Removal Act, caused a whole lotta ruckus, kickin' out Native tribes from their own damn land. And let's not forget the tangled mess of slavery, just makin' tensions rise between north and south, showin' how complicated this country's past really is. Those times, they shaped the US, man, still hangin' around like a damn ghost. Gotta study 'em, learn 'em, so we know where we came from and where we're headin'.

- The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 made the country twice as big and helped it expand west.
- The War of 1812 made the United States stronger and more proud.
- After the war, there was a time of good feelings with more nationalism, economic growth, and moving west.
- Andrew Jackson became popular in the late 1820s, but he caused disagreements and made things divisive.
- Jackson's policies, like the Indian Removal Act, made Native American tribes leave their homes.
- Slavery also caused problems between the northern and southern states.
- These events still affect America today, so it's important to study and understand them.

THE RUNDOWN
As the British set their sights on revenge for their earlier defeat in the Revolutionary War, they were perplexed by their loss against the audacious American forces. The Americans had mastered the art of unorthodox warfare, eschewing traditional methods to target critical individuals and unconventional strategies. Enter 1812, when the British, fueled by a desire to invade through the mighty Mississippi, faced off against a motley crew of Americans led by the indomitable Andrew Jackson. Jackson, a force to be reckoned with, rallied a diverse band of farmers and freed Black individuals, ready to defend their land against the looming threat. And let's remember the pirates lurking in those waters, adding a pinch of spice to the already boiling pot. Now, picture this: the British, boasting a formidable army of 20,000 strong, faced off against 4,000 American fighters. The odds were stacked in their favor. But hold on to your seats, for the British made a grave mistake. Instead of launching a swift attack, they decided to set up camp and prepare for a classic, straight-line march against the Americans. Little did they know that fate had a different plan in store. A clever local with an eye for opportunity proposed a daring plan - to shoot the unsuspecting British soldiers while they slept. And lo and behold, Andrew Jackson gave the go-ahead with his unwavering resolve. The stage was set for a clash that defied all expectations, where unconventional tactics and a sprinkle of audacity would once again leave an indelible mark on American history.
