1 Write a brief paragraph in which you describe the differences of opinion among the regions of the United States over the issues of the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812 and the entry of Missouri as a new state. Are there any patterns? If so, any reasoning behind them? Why would some regions of the country be “for” something, and “against” something else?
2. Describe changes in the economy as a result of improvements in transportation; factory work; banking and law. What were the risks involved in investing in the money market?
3. What was the Second Great Awakening? The Temperance Movement? Abolition Movement? Identify the relationship among these movements and speculate about why they became increasingly involved in the abolition of slavery as it intensified in years to come.
