APUSH Chapter 14: Forging the National Economy (1790-1860)

Last updated over 1 year ago

22 questions

Welcome to your Chapter 14 reading! As always, "Focus Questions" should guide your reading and notes, but you do not necessarily have to explicitly answer them.

Historians often refer to the 19th-century movement of settlers into the American West as "Westward Expansion." The era begins with the Louisiana Purchase and extends into the early 20th century, fueled by the Gold Rush, the Oregon Trail and a belief in "manifest destiny."

In the late 19th century, progressive journalist Jacob Riis photographed urban life in order to build support for social reform. In this part of the text, you can see the historical origins of urban living conditions in the late 1800s.

Your textbook refers to Industrial Revolution as the shift towards mass production and mechanization. Historians recognize this as the First Industrial Revolution, beginning in Great Britain in 1784 with the creation of the factory system. Throughout U.S. history, we will learn about three more  Industrial Revolutions (see timeline).
