Life in the New Nation
As the new nation was developing the Jeffersonian and the Federalist where figuring out how to run the new nation. Never the less the Americans were developing by themselves. Tens of thousands of Americans went into the Appalachian Mountains to obtain a better life. There was development in the transportation like the steam power machines, in the industry there was and advancement in the development of new productions of commodities. Also the population of the US grew explosively during the period before the 1830. There were about 2.7 million people lived in the original thirteen states. Also the government in the 1700’s promoted the expansion to the west. This brought the Northwest Territory, which was a process by which territories could become, states.
Never the less, there was something negative during this time
period. The war on 1812 in which there as a fight for conquering Canada and
once again by the British conquer the US. Another event was the battle of
Horseshoes Bend won by Andrew Jackson who would become president of the United
States latter. Another negative thing from this time period of the early 1800’s
was the Missouri Compromise, which said the in Missouri slavery was permitted. There
was also the Second Great Awakening that was an evangelical movement. I believe
that this was a time of hope for change and a new path for development in the
United States of America.
