   19th Century Society

   Hey guys before we start, I'm Tatum and I'll be filling in for Kaden here and there throughout the semester, now Welcome back to the Emancipation Podcast Station…your place where history is researched and retold through the eyes of middle school and high school students. Today we are diving back into the early 19th century of politics How about we start at the war of 1812 The War of 1812 Jax-Let me tell you about the War of 1812. It was like a showdown between the United States and the UK, with their indigenous allies thrown into the mix. And Spain decided to join in on the fun, but only in Florida, like they were playing a small role or something. This whole military drama started because the United States declared war on June 18, 1812, and it dragged on for years until they finally signed the peace treaty known as the Treaty of Ghent on December 24 1814. But even though they agreed on peace terms, the war still went on until the United States Congress got around to ratifying the treaty on February 17 1815. This war was a big deal in American history, showing off the drama between the US and its former colonial overlord. Avery- right and This war was mainly fought due to issues like maritime rights which is who gets to sail where, trade restrictions, and British backing of Native American tribes against American expansion. A standout moment of the War of 1812 was when the British started a BBQ on the Washington lawn in 1814, toasting the White House and the Capitol….Despite facing some initial setbacks, the United States managed to secure triumphs throughout the war, with the Battle of New Orleans being a particularly decisive victory led by General Andrew Jackson. Naomi- yes so something that stood out to me was during the war of 1812  the british were trying really hard to regulate American trade. They even passed the orders in the counsel which required american ships to basically dock in Britain and to pay tax before ever trading with other European nations. Hunter- And some other reasons the war was fought because there was some issues with plague relations between the U.S and Great Britain after the revolutionary war. Which were impressment of American sailors and trade restrictions on American shipping.

   Societal Norms in the New Nation

   Caydan: Welcome back to the Emancipation Podcast Station…your place where history is researched and retold through the eyes of middle school and high school students. Last time we talked about what governing a nation now looks like without England  …today we discuss the changes to our nation in its infancy. Consequences of Revolution (https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/us-history/road-to-revolution/creating-a-nation/v/social-consequences-of-revolutionary-ideals) The American Revolution was a revolution of ideas and rights for the American people to distinguish between their new government and the old one they left behind Jaxlenn- Right! Which previously had limited the franchise to wealthier white men. After the revolution, most of the white men had the right to vote, and voting rights would continue to expand until all white men had the right to vote by around the 1830s. And maybe you didn't know but some state constitutions, like New Jersey’s, didn’t specify who could vote, as long as they met the new lower property requirements. So between the revolution and 1807 property-owning women and free people of color could vote! Paisley- Yes so, the American Revolution started getting curious and having ideas about equal rights and power, proceeding to having to better the rights to vote, slavery and women's standing. It Developed a way bigger democracy, intituatid about the movement to end slavery and liberate enslaved people around the world. Avery- Right!  And Abigail Adams, who was the wife of John Adams, wrote to him while he was in Philadelphia working on the draft of The Declaration of Independence with Thomas Jefferson and others and in one of the letters Abigail Adams wrote to her husband it said in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors, If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies we are determined to foment rebellion and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation Hunter- After the Revolution each state wrote a new Constitution and each one of them instituted a new Government. Almost every single one of their Constitutions reduced property requirements for voting. Naomi joy- yes hunter that's good, so to add on to Avery’s the revolution didn’t result in a huge change for status for white women, and none for enslaved women which is so sad. So there was a spring up that basically provoked a social change down the road. And that just tells you the idea of motherhood and how much work mothers do. Ashleigh- Above all, the revolution popularized certain radical ideas, including a commitment to liberty, equality, government of people, and rule of law. The revolution also set into motion larger changes in American life. It inspired them to try to reconstruct their society in line with republican principles.
