What Students Need to Do

Students link British trade restrictions and impressment to war, then use the anthem to show growing national pride. They examine expanding trade, the national bank ruling, and the Monroe Doctrine as signs of economic and political change. They explain how slavery's expansion divided North and South despite calls for national unity.

They can explain why Maryland could not tax the federal bank and why U.S. leaders warned Europe against new colonies in the Americas. They can show how admitting Maine and Missouri preserved a balance but left the slavery dispute unresolved.
