Palubicki APWH Unit 5 Flashcards
Abolition Movement
Def: a movement that ended the Atlantic slave trade as well as freeing enslaved people. The Slave trade was first banned which slowly led to slavery overall declining.
LO2: The enlightenment affected the abolition movement due to the fact that its ideas highlighted equality and freedom of all human beings. Slaves were not treated equally nor had any freedoms at all, therefore the enlightenment ideals had a huge effect on the abolition movement.
Empiricism
Def: This is a belief that knowledge comes from experiences, what you observe or think throughout a specific experience. Francis Bacon based his findings on natural data rather than the rules and concepts of religion or traditions.
LO1: Francis was able to influence poeple to believe what they observe rather than what you are told to believe such as how many religions tell you what to belive rather than you observing yourself. However, many people decided to create argumenst and test different theories instead.
Enlightenment
Def: This was an intellectual movement that highlighted reason and individualism over tradition. Individualism, freedom, and self-determinism were some of the ideals that established the steps of revolution.
LO1: The American and French Resolutions were sparked by the ideas of enlightenment. During the American Revolution, Americans didn’t have the right to freedom of speech, religion, equality, etc., therefore they rebelled against England in order to obtain these things. Similarly, during the French Revolution, they dint have many rights or freedom and due to that they overthrew King Charles X
Suffrage movement (Include Wollstonecraft and Seneca Falls)
Def: Was a movement that pushed for the right to vote or franchise. It mostly concerned women’s rights because at the time they didn’t have many. In Seneca falls activists gathered to promote women’s rights and suffrage. This convention was a huge mark in the women’s rights movement. Wollstonecraft published a book ( A Vindication of the Rights of Women) which argued how women should have the same rights and privileges as men, women eventually gained the full right to vote in 1928.
LO2: The enlightenment affected the suffrage movement over time because it focused on freedoms and how everyone should be treated equally. At the time women could not vote, get an education, own property, etc, however, the enlightenment ideals helped them get the rights they needed because men and women should be treated the same.
American Revolution
Def: A revolution fought from 1775 to 1783 where British colonists rebelled against Great Britain. George Washington leads the colonists to declare independence. Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton were other leaders that helped as well. The battle of Lexington and Concord was a big battle that marked the start of the revolution, it led to more people joining in because they wanted independence. The declaration of independence, treaty of Paris, and articles of confederation were documents created because of this revolution. After many battles, the British colonists gained their freedom and the 13 colonies were created in the United States.
LO3: The cause of this revolution was that the British wanted independence from Great Britain and they were pushing to have more control. The effects of the revolution were that important documents were created that are still used today and that the British gained independence and the US was established.
Bolivar Revolutions
Def: A revolution lead by Simon Bolivar which was fighting for political independence. Some of the important events that occured were the hidalgos provacative speech, the execution of miguel hildalgo, and the Battle of Rancagua. Imporatant documents signed were the Treaty of Cordoba.
LO3: The cause of this revolution was was because of Napoleans exploration fo spain which sparked conflcits and how they were somewhat inspired by the French and American revolution. The effect of this revolution was that mexico gained its indpendnce from spain and brazil gained its independence from portugal in a peaceful manner.
Classical Liberalism
Def: The protection of individual rights and liberties by limiting the overall power of the government. This was created due to John Locke and his philosophy of how people’s rights should be protected by restricting the power of the government.
LO3: This was caused because people thought that people should be able to have freedom and not be controlled by the government. The effect of this was that society was able to advance by industrializing and urbanizing.
French Revolution
Def: This revolution was a period of time where rulers and the people separated and the people wanted to redefine political power. It all started when Louis XVI summoned the estates general to vote on new taxes fot the nobles. the 3rd estate went to a dfferent room an declared themsleves a national asssebly, This later lead to the Declaration of Rights which highlighted ideas from the enlightenment. Eventually, Louis XVI and his wife, Marie, were imprisoned and later executed by the “killing machine”.
LO3: The causes of this revoltion ws the inequality among estates, the severe financial crisis, and the spread of enlightenment ideas which quetioned hereditary privledges. The effects were that diine right and noble privledge were challenged in Europe, fuedalism was removed form France, and the kings and nobles didnt have all the power so did the middle class(bourgeoisie).
Haitian Revolution
Def: This reovlution began when slaves revolted against there white masters, killing and burning down there houses. A former slave, Toussaint L’Ouverue decided to join the revolt and became the leader of the rebellion against slavery. They were able to establish an independent government and produced a constituition that declared equality and citizenship to all residents.
LO3: The cause of this revolution was is that the slaves wanted freedoma. The effect of this is that they were able to create an independent government and constitution that declared equality and citizenship to all of the residents.
Nationalism
Def: This is the love or devotion to a certain country. German revolutions occured as a result of nationalism because countries like Prussia and Austria wanted ndepndence. In addition, France got into a war with Austria beasue there leader Napolean III wanted italian unity and for them to have a central italian government. Lastly, Argentineans showed lots of nationalism when they wer e exposed to enlightenmnet and were able to spread there culture and really unify.
LO3: The caue of nationalism was becasue poeple didnt like foreign rule and wanted to be unified in there country. The effects of this is that the governments became stronger and the county overlal became a lot more unified.
Causes of Industrialization
Def: One cause of the industrial revolution was the increased agricultural improvements. More people were needed to work, thus more people were available to work in the factories as well as providing a market for manufactured goods. In addition, they accumulated resources like coal and iron which were heavily needed in order to work the machines created while industrializing. There also was an increase in technology, they were able to create the spinning jenny and other things that sparked industrialization.
LO4: Environmental factors played a huge role in causing the industrial revolution. For example, Britain was lucky enough to be located right next to a coal deposit, this coal deposit did a lot for them as it allowed for them to power the steam engine and burn fossil fuels. In addition, if you could produce iron it was a huge benefit because that allows for the production of buildings, bridges, and bigger ships. If you were located by a river that was very helpful because it made it easier to transport raw materials to trade different places.
Factory system
Def: These were used to mass-produce products. They contained many workers that worked 16+ hours a day in terrible conditions. Not only did adults work but so did kids, they were used because they had small hands that were able to get inside the machines. There were no safety regulations or fair play, women also worked long hours at the factories to fulfill traditional roles.
LO4: Working hours were no longer based on sunlight because the lightbulb was created so the people working in the factories worked very long hours. Coal and iron were commonly used within the factories and their production was crucial in order for the factory system to work. Iron was used on many of the machines and coal was used to power many of the machines.
Industrialization
Def: This is a time period where new innovations were built, the society shifted from an agricultural-based economy to one based on manufacturing goods. Many new innovations were built to be used in factories such as the steam engine and spinning jenny.
LO5: Previous to the steam engine, factories had to be near rivers in order for the machines to be powered, however, once the steam engine was built things changed because the steam could now be used for industry and transportation, meaning factories could move away from the rivers. Also, the lightbulb was created which caused a huge change in what hours workers worked during the day. Due to the lightbulb, workers had to work very long shifts compared to before where they would work during the daylight.
Fossil Fuels Revolution
Def: This was a time when the energy available to human societies was significantly increased. As machines developed, energy stored in fossil fuels such as coal or oil was taken advantage of.
LO6: Technology was a huge factor in shaping economic production. Inventions were built such as the flying shuttle, cotton gin, spinning jenny, etc. that helped us more efficiently produce products. With the help of these inventions, we could make clothing faster and it was more cost-efficient.
Industrial Communication
Def: Over time communication around the world was increased due to new technology such as steamships, telegraphs, and railroads. The steamships provided a new way that was more cost and time-efficient. The telegraph was very helpful due to the fact that it could allow for immediate communication. Railroads such as the Transcontinental railroad helped the industrial growth of the US. They were able to transport resources like coal, oil, and iron in a way more efficient way.
LO6: With the help of these new technologies new parts of the world could be opened up to explore whereas before trade and migration were often located along with the coastal cities. The technologies helped shaped economic production because they made communications across the world easier and with the help of steamships and railroads, it was possible to transport resources in a more timely manner.
