13. Ali Baalbaki asked, "Who cares?" Good question. Should we care about the young U.S.? Due Weds Feb. 12th
Are events from the early 19th century relevant to our lives today? In other words, will studying 1810 prepare us for facing 2010? Using your notes from our Philadelphia Street-Fair, information from the textbook and building on the rough draft you completed in class, answer the question by making specific connections to the topics we've studied to prove or disprove your point.

No,I do not think that the Federalist Era of 1810 will affect the upcoming year of 2010. I think this because what George Washington did over two centuries ago won't help us with the economic problem this country is facing. Or what the Shakers worshiped back in the 1700's won't help us with the War in Iraq.
Yes, I believe that most events back then are revelant to our lives today. If George Washington hadn't had war with Britain, we might have still been under their rule. If James Watts had not modified the steam engine, we might not have had any ideas that developed from steam power, such as ships, today. I must admit that the Federalist Era isn't relevant to everything in life, without it, we might have not been the same country.
Yes, I do think that the events occurred in 1810 will help us today. For example, Lewis and Clark, they took a route to the western state, which brought us information about the land, the tribes, and new land. Also, Steam Power. If they haven't make steam power, we would lack our transport(Over Seas) systems and will not be able to trade, or go to other countries. Lastly the Abolitionist(Move to free the slave trade), if it wasn't created, their would still be a large population of slaves in the United States and elsewhere. The Slave Trade(If it wasn't created) would be running wild.
Yes I believe that many events that happened hundreds of years ago are very relevant to our lives today. For example, George Washington led the American army against the British during the Revolutionary War. What if he had not done that? What if we lost the war? Wouldn't you imagine that our lives would be quite different. Not only that but there was also the person who invented steam power. What if steam power had not been invented? What if we didn't have electricity? I would think that without all of these things our lives would not be the same. Wouldn't you?

Yes, I believe that most of the events in the Federalist Era are important to our lives today.For example: If George Washington didn't have war with Britain, we might have still been under their rule. If James Watts had not modified the steam engine, we might not have had any ideas that developed from steam power, such as ships today. I must admit that the Federalist Era isn't relevant to everything in life. But, without it, we might have not been the same country.
Yes, I do think that the events that occurred in 1810 will help us today. For example, Lewis and Clark, they explored the western states, which brought us information about the land, the tribes, and their species of animals. Also the steam engine led to many achievements’ in machinery today. Today thanks the abolitionists their is no slavery.
No I don’t believe that the events that happened in the 19th century will prepare us for 2010, but I do believe that it has helped us. The 19th century is important to today because lots of things happened then. There was an outbreak in the sickness of Yellow Fever. This may sound like a bad thing but is also a good thing because if this hadn’t happened it would have taken us longer to figure out the cure for it. The cotton gin was also created during the 19th century, this helps us a lot because without it would take way longer to make cotton merchandise. Also what happened back then won’t prepare us for the tough economic problems we’re are going through or how they might get worse.
Maybe, in my opinion George Washington did separate us from Great Britain we'd still be under there rule. That's a opinion that I think affects us now. On the other hand what he did over 300 years ago might not affect us in the future because sooner of later we were going to separate from Great Britain if he had the war or not from Great Britain.
Studying the 1810’s will prepare us for facing 2010; because with past knowledge there is a better future. With past knowledge we can work on the mistakes and make them better. Some of the information from the street fair, like the “Erie Canal” and “Steam Power”, are still used today. Or maybe like the topic about “Hamilton’s Economic Plan,” where he tried to make economies richer in money and power. There are even the little things that make 1810 important, like the topic about “Samuel Slatter and Eli Whitney.” They made machines that made cotton and clothes.
Without these inventions and people in the past, there wouldn’t be a same present right now. For example, without “Hamilton’s Economic Plan,” there wouldn’t be banks, a stronger economy, or a national mint. Without the “Erie Canal” and “Steam Power”, we wouldn’t be able to get the transportation and the shipping of goods we need. Samuel Slatter and Eli Whitney were the inventors of the cotton gin and the clothing machine. If we didn’t have these machines, then we won’t have clothes, or possibly armor. Then there are the “Abolitionists,” “Yellow Fever,” “Benjamin Banneker,” and all the rest. These three topics show that there are no slave trades, cures for yellow fever, and clocks in everyday homes.
In other words, 1810 was an important date that helps the future, and it will possibly help the future beyond 2010.
yes, i think that 1810 will affect 2010. All the history from 1810 can't just be forgotten. For example George Washington was one of the important facts of the United States of America. What about the 1812 war with the War Hawks and Britain. Something special might happen because of the history of 1812. You never know, anything might happen.
Well, I don't know if events back in 1810 will prepare us for the hardships to come in 2010, but I do know they helped create our world today. Those events were important to our time line, since it is very delicate. It can always be that single action or single person that can alter our world. If something did not happen, for example, the winning of the Revolutionary War, the world you know today may cease to even exist. Many things back then helped our nation grow. Benjamin Banneker, he had made the first clock that struck hourly, this is an invention in many of our homes. He also was able to recover the original designs for the capitol. If not for him, the capitol might look different today. Yellow Fever, a horrible disease that plagued the 1800's. Efforts were made to cure the victims, and even though they were not effective and that some treatments killed patients, it gave a better understanding of the disease and has caused several advancements in medicine. Tecumseh tried to regain land and live in peace. He had gotten recognition of them by uniting Native Americans. Lewis and Clark made many discoveries while traveling the Louisiana Purchase and made peace with Native Americans. Toussaint L'Overture led a revolt to end slavery there and gained freedom for many. This might have not happened and then slavery would have gone on. The same with the abolitionists. Also, Hamilton helped create the base of the U.S. economy. Like making a national bank and starting trade off. And things like routes lie the Erie Canal helped this by transportation for goods and people. The War of 1812 enabled us to regain control of our trade, but as a penalty, ended many lives. Eli Whitney invented helpful things like the cotton gin which removed seeds from cotton and sped up economy, but this caused slavery to rise. As all things have effects that not always are good. He also made a steam powered textile which produced clothes quicker and also contributed to economy. The interchangeable gun was an invention of his that allowed a part of a gun to fit another and switch parts. This advancement in weaponry helped shape our guns today. And as of steam power, it greatly helped our nation's power in most everything with this new technology. Like new faster steam boats and machines. George Washington, our fist president that helped obtain our freedom and helped build the foundations of our government and set examples for future generations to come. These events have become important for shaping the world today, and if it weren't for them, the world could be looking different now, and certain people wouldn't have existed. It won't prepare us for the unknown future but it is up to us to make sure we are ready for it.
Yes, I do think that the events that occurred in 1810 will help us today. If George Washington hadn't had war with Britain, we might have still been under their rule. Also, Lewis and Clark, they took a route to the western state, which brought us information about the land, the tribes, and new land. Steam For example, Lewis and Clark, they took a route to the western state, which brought us information about the land, the tribes, and new land.
I think that studying in 1810 will prepare us for facing 2010. For example, if the cotton gin wasn’t invented, we would be wearing uncomfortable clothes. If there weren’t any steamboats, our transportation would not grow and it would be really hard to travel to other places. Some events from the early 19th century that is relevant to our lives today is the Yellow Fever and Hamilton’s Economic Plan. The Yellow Fever was a terrible disease but fortunately, the people found the cure. If no one found the cure, we would still have a lot of people being sick. Also, if it wasn’t for Hamilton’s plan, we wouldn’t have a strong economy. This is why studying 1810 will prepare us for facing 2010.
Yes, I believe that the significant events that occurred in the Federalist Era, affected our lives today. If we didn't have steam-powered engines back then, we might not have the inventions that came from those steam-powered inventions. Like for example, we could have gotten the motor-boats from the steamboats. If George Washington did not have a war with Britain we could still have been under their rule or even not be here today. What happens in the past can effect the future big time. So i think all the inventions of the wars we won had changed our lives or saved us from something horrible.
Yes, I do think the 1810 effected use today and will effect 2010. If it wasnt for James Mdison we wont have as much states that we have today. If it wasnt for Frederick Douglas who escaped and made his own convention, I think in 2010 we will have slavery. If it wasnt for the cotton gin that Eli Whitney invented, farmers would have to take seeds from plants with there hands, which would take much longer. If it wasnt for Yellow Fever we wouldnt know the cure to other sicknesses. Federist Era isnt relevant to everything in life, we might not have the same country
I think that the early 19th century did help us. For example, if it wasnt for steam power, we would never have the tranportation to go and ship over-seas. I think Abolition also played and important part in this. If Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln didn't free the slaves, we would still have slavery to day. Maybe it would have been worse than it was back then. Louis and Clark helped us also, they had traveled a route and had learned about tribes and land, if they didnt have gone on this journey, we would have probably havn't found that part and would never put it to a good purpose.
In some ways yes and in some ways no will the Federalist Era of 1810 affect our lives today. When steam powered engines were created, that was a start to a new industrious country. That is the reason why we have cars now-a-day. But some topics, like for instance the shakers and their furniture-making business, don't help us much us much in our lives though they might have tought us a few things.
No, that was back in 1810. It doesn't affect America today. What Hamilton did a long time ago did not do any good for the economy today. The economy today is very bad. His ideas were good but it didn't help the economy.
yes, i do think the Federalist Era of 1810 will effect the upcoming year 2010. I belive this because the war George Washington had over two centuries ago with britan did effect us, we might have still be under britans rule.Also If James Watts had not modified the steam engine then we might not have steam power boats and other steam power inventions. This is why i belive that the Federalist Era or 1810 will effect us.
Yes, I think the Federalist era is relevant to today. Alot of the things in 1810 gave us ideas for today. Without their influence alot of methods used today wouldn't be .
The Federalist era of 1810 has certain areas that in my opinion will, play an important role in the challenges we may face in 2010. For example I believe yellow fever, Benjamin Banneker's clock invention and surveying talents. As well as George Washington's presidency will not be important to 2010.(For the simple reason that none of these played a major role. Had the people mentioned never did anything it wouldn't have affected the present much.)
