Chapter eight starts After Thomas Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory, the size of the United States doubled. The U.S. now bordered Mexico, which had won its independence from Spain in the 1820s. In 1836, Texas broke off from Mexico and formed its own republic; in 1845, under the presidency of James Polk, and the U.S. brought Texas into the union, though the Mexican government continued to regard Texas as a part of Mexico. Polk was an expansionist president some would say although I think he just wanted as much as he could get so he ordered General Zachary Taylor(the future president of the United States) to provoke Mexican troops near the Rio Grande. Around the same time In 1846,

Ch.1: With the Treaty of Paris, the British set up military posts running from the Northern end of Lake Champlain, to Niagara, Detroit, and Michigan Peninsula. The British took the posts because the US failed to live up the treaty terms. In 1784, the Spain closed the lower Mississippi River to the American commerce, and then orders a tariff on US goods. The U.S. made negotiation for commercial treaties and did trade directly with Europe. The Britain excluded the U.S from the imperial trade and received a large quantity of cheap goods. The U.S in the time of depression and the balance of trade made some states print more money between 1785 and 1786. Other states also tried imposing taxes and restricting new issues of money.

The Red Scare was a period of mass hysteria in the United States during 1919-1920, which was after World War I. This was the time when Americans feared that communism would spread to their country. This fear affected their views toward immigrants who came to the United States. They especially were frightened toward those who embraced their communist, socialist or anarchist ideology. There were many strong nationalistic and anti-immigrant feelings in America which led to the Red Scare. Another reason why Americans feared immigrants was because of the Bolshevik Revolution led by Lenin in Russia. Many in the United States were scared that Russians wished to overthrow the United States government. ("The Red Scare of 1919-1920.").
My position is the Red Scare. First of all, the reason why I picked this topic was because the Red Scare was an effect from the Cold War. In other words, this was a political, social, and economic matter involving the communist party, USA government, teachers, and leaders. As follows, this issue was taken place in the USA in the late 1940’s through the early 1950’s.(1947-1957) Therefore, this conflict was many leaders, professors, other teachers, and many other business workers were fired if they were found even with any signs of communism. For that reason, that main cause of the Red Scare was to cause a range of action that had ruin the USA society instead of starting another war (history/red scare.)
Warren G. Harding was elected in 1865 and served as the 29th president of the United States. During his campaign his slogan was “A return to normalcy.” In the wake of World War I the country wanted things to settle down- so promises of change weren’t well received. While in office Harding didn’t take many large strides due to this ideology. However, his lack of change may not have just been due to this philosophy. Some say he was a weak leader and let others do the decision-making. This ended up causing problems for him and making him the president that created the original political scandal.
However, by the early 1920s, the Bureau of Investigation was a corrupt and inefficient unit. It was badly tarnished by the Teapot Dome scandal and other scandals during the administration of President Warren Harding. Harry M. Daugherty
In the early 1920s, after facing the struggles of World War I, the Palmer Raids, and Wilson’s fall, Americans craved stability. Republicans were promising a return to the settled country we once were, and this eventually led to the election of Warren G. Harding, the first Republican president in the decade. One of his first acts as president was allowing people to walk on the White House garden, reassuring the citizens that their government was returning to them after a time of hardship. During his campaign, Harding called for "normalcy", a consistent period of peace and quiet, something that appealed to Americans after the time of relentless strain. Despite the scandals, President Harding was successful during his term, as he delivered to the public what he had promised, "a return to normalcy" and revival, by lowing income tax for the rich, passing many tariffs, and initiating the Washington Naval Conference.
