Polk played a key role in the expansion of the United States with his brilliant tactics. Polk?s four point plan, Walker Tariff, and war with Mexico successfully helped the union expand and economically prosper.

Alondra Guzman Pd.2/AP US History 9.28.12 The American & British Views The French and Indian War, was a prerevolutionary extension of the Seven Years War that seized Europe from 1756 until 1763. It was known as the bloodiest American war in the 18th century and took more lives than the American Revolution. The war was the consequence of an imperial struggle, wealth and the clash between the French and English over the colonial territory. This war was seen as the product of the center of rivalry between the British and the French colonists. The American and the British had very distinct views regarding the results on the French and Indian war.

Megan: Our goal with our Reconstruction plans was to simply find a compromise between the Radical Republicans? plans and Johnson?s plans. We aimed to find the middle ground so that Reconstruction would not only be executed as efficiently as possible, but so that the Northerners would not feel like they fought the war in vain or for a lost cause. African Americans? rights would further be ensured and Southerners woud be able to let go of their former way of life.

compromises

The United States of America was founded and held together using compromises to help keep all parties involved in a particular conflict satisfied. This continued through the time period from 1820 to 1860. However, by 1860, the increasing tension surrounding the issue of slavery made continued use of compromise seem impossible. The numerous conflicts and disagreements involved with slavery divided the North and the South and eventually caused a complete collapse in the possibility of compromise.
