topic 6: reshaping america in the 1800s
Overview:
The United States underwent dramatic changes in the first half of the nineteenth century. Americans began moving in large numbers west across the Great Plains. They headed south to Texas and west to Oregon, Utah, and California. By 1850, the United States had gained the Southwest from Mexico and divided the Oregon Territory with Great Britain. During the first half of the nineteenth century, Americans also experienced a religious revival, known as the Second Great Awakening. These Americans put their religious ideals to practice by working to reshape, or reform, aspects of American society. Women also started working harder for equal rights, and slavery became even more of a dividing issue.
