Thirteen original states (they signed on before 1790)
Then...

1792 - Kentucky
1796 - Tennessee
1803 - Ohio
The Industrial Revolution begins when inventors made machines that could do the jobs that people had always done.
The War of 1812 helped American industry to grow..
The steam engines could drive machines. Factories no longer had to be built only on rivers. Soon steam engines were also powering ships and railroads.
The components of a product were made alike so that they could be used in any gun the factory made. The parts were called interchangeable parts.
homas Jefferson - 3rd president 1800
United Stares buys Louisiana from France - 1803

Lily, Toby, and Owen taught us lessons today.
We also went over the problems.
We learned that Mr. Schick used to be a worker in factory doing boring works. College is important.
We saw pictures of factories in 1800s, which are very impressive.
We were looking toward to having a huge huge snow in next two days.

Chap 6
Federalists and republicans want different person to be the president, so they had the election of 1800.
Jefferson send Lewis and Clark on an expedition because the Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the US.
To get more sailors, British ships took American sailors and forced them to serve on British warships.
No winner and no loser in the War of 1812. Treaty of Ghent was signed.
The purpose of the Monroe Doctrine is to set the colonies free from European countries.
1800 President was decided by the electoral college.
Louisiana became part of US territory on Dec 20, 1803.
Yes, Americans should had a war with British on 1812. British's action was too "cross the line". This war is necessary because it protects the liberty of those sailors being captured and show Britain that Americans are not afraid or weak.

Test back
I didn't do so well on the test. I got three questions wrong on the Bill of rights. But I had an argument with Mr. Schick on the unclearity of the last question. And finally Mr. Schick was convinced and decided to give all who wrote the 5th in this question credit back.
I thank Mr. Schick for being understanding and listening to my argument. Mr. Schick is just so cool!
