Question

How did the united states change between 1776-1870?

Answer 1

Unless you're talking about the coastline, I fail to see how this is a geometry question. It's still pretty unrelated to geometry even if you are talking about the coastline ;)

Answer 2

Answer 4

sadly I don't know much about history, but the question seems very vague to me

Answer 5

What do you want to know?

Answer 6

I have to write a short essay in history about how the us has changed from 1776-1870, and I don't exactly know how it changed from those times /:

Answer 7

Population in 1770 = 2,148,100
Population in 1870 = 38,558,371

The most important event was obviously the American Civil War from 1861-1865. This led to the 14th Amendment which defined a citizen as "any person born or naturalized in the US." The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, and the 15th Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote to someone because of their race.

Other key events include the Louisiana Purchase, the Texas Revolution, The Spanish-American War, the War of 1812, the purchase of Alaska, the Mexican Cession, the Indian Wars, and the California Gold Rush.

Like I said, the right to vote was extended to all male citizens by the 15th Amendment. Women were not given the right to vote until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920.

Answer 8

well the country certainly grew both in size and in population

the country also became more connected through railroads and the telegraph

also in 1776, I don't think there were any political parties (could be wrong though), but by 1870, the country had two main political parties


that's all I can think of at the moment

Answer 9

It changed because the civil happened so their was no more slavery.
