War of 1812

 The war of 1812 and SSB.

• the war of 1812 was fought because  of American anger toward great Britain for impressing the sailors and British support of Indian attacks

• neither the Americans nor the British people won the battle of 1812 but the impressement of the American sailors from the British people stopped.

   

map of the 1812 war

• the star spangled banner was written by Francis Scott key.
• he was inspired by the battle of Baltimore during the 1812 war.
• the author of the star spangled banner was a 35 year old lawyer and a poet.

    written version of the star spangled banner

oh say can you observe the mornings bright light, how proudly we saluted at the glowing light of the horizon.Those large stripes and shinning stars through the dangerous battle.o'er the barricade we stared were so gloriously streaming, and the rockets loud sparks the explosions flying in air, gave proof through the darkness that our flag was standing still. oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Compromises of the constitution

compromises of the constitution 

          The great compromise

• Edmund Randolph and James Madison put forward the Virginia Plan that called for a government much like the one we have today. There would be three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislative branch would be made up of two houses; however, unlike our national government today, representation in both houses would be based upon a state’s population.

• Smaller states like Delaware and New Jersey objected to the Virginia Plan saying that the large states would easily outvote them in Congress if the number of votes were based on population. After weeks of debate, William Patterson of New Jersey put forth a plan that called for three branches including a legislature with only one house where each state would have one vote. The New Jersey Plan with a single house legislature and equal representation was more like Congress under the Articles.

             The fifth compromise

• The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached between delegates from southern states and those from northern states during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. The debate was over if, and if so, how, slaves would be counted when determining a state's total population for constitutional purposes.

  •  The issue was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the United States House of Representatives for the next ten years, and to determine what percentage of the nation's direct tax burden the state would have to bear.             

  • The compromise was proposed by delegates James Wilson and Roger Sherman.
