How to Use This Guide How to Use this Guide The New-York Historical Society, one of America’s pre-eminent cultural institutions, is dedicated to fostering research, presenting history and art exhibitions, and public programs that reveal the dynamism of history and its influence on the world of today. Founded in 1804, New-York Historical has a mission to explore the richly layered political, cultural and social history of New York City and State and the nation, and to serve as a national forum for the discussion of issues surrounding the making and meaning of history. Student Historians are high school interns at New-York Historical who explore our museum and library collection and conduct research using the resources available to them within a museum setting. Their project this academic year was to create a guide for fellow high school students preparing for U.S. History Exams, particularly the U.S. History & Government Regents Exam. Each Student Historian chose a piece from our collection that represents a historical event or theme often tested on the exam, collected and organized their research, and wrote about their piece within its historic context. The intent is that this catalog will provide a valuable supplemental review material for high school students preparing for U.S. History Exams. The following summative essays are all researched and written by the 2015-16 Student Historians, compiled in chronological order, and organized by unit. Each essay includes an image of the object or artwork from the N-YHS collection that serves as the foundation for the U.S. History content reviewed. Additional educational supplementary materials include a glossary of frequently used terms, review activities including a crossword puzzle as well as questions and answers taken from past U.S. History & Government Regents exams, and tips for taking the Regents and analyzing documents for a DBQ. Please use this guide not only as a resource, but as a workbook for your own active study for exams.

It is a manuscript of Federalist Paper #64, written by John Jay in 1788, one of 85 essays, of which 5 were written by Jay: Articles #2-5 and #64. This essay discusses the merits of the Constitution’s Senate, arguing that the appointment of Senators, rather than an election of Senators, made it unlikely that this body would fall into the hands of the rabble. The Federalist Papers were a series of polemical articles advocating for the ratification of the new Constitution of the United States within the state of New York. After the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, the draft of the Constitution was sent to the states to begin the debate over ratification. In New York, opposition to the John Jay, Draft of Federalist #64, ca.1788. Collection Constitution came swiftly and brutally; as the process of of New-York Historical Society, BV Jay. ratification first reached New York, state newspapers harshly criticized the Constitution for going back upon the gains, specifically rights, won in the Revolutionary War for Americans. This criticism prompted Alexander Hamilton, an ardent Federalist who firmly believed in the strengthening of the Federal Government and a New Yorker, to begin writing the Federalist Papers. On October 27, 1787, the first Federalist Paper was published in the New York Independent Journal under the pseudonym “Publius.” Soon after this, Hamilton would recruit like-minded political figures of the day John Jay and James Madison to aid him in writing these polemics. The Federalist Papers are but one, albeit crucial, part of the process that would culminate with the ratification of the Constitution. The origins of the modern United States government lie with the Continental Congress. After the Declaration of Independence was written in 1776 by Thomas Jefferson and America entered the Revolutionary War against England, the Continental Congress had the duty of leading the war effort, commanding and supporting the American soldiers in the war. 5 In this effort, the Articles of Confederation were drafted in 1777. This document can best be described as creating a loose confederation of states, for its powers and scope were limited: the Congress had the power to make treaties, declare war, make peace, sign treaties, borrow money, and establish a national Post Office; all other functions of government were allocated to the states. The Federal Government under the Articles of Confederation had no power to tax, being forced to rely on the goodwill of the states to accrue money for the war effort, they also had no executive control to force decisions, no court system, no national currency, the government consisted of only one delegate per state - appointed not democratically, but through state legislatures, and required a supermajority of delegates to pass legislation within the body. At this time, states also passed their own constitutions. Both the Articles of Confederation and state constitutions reflected the feelings of the American people and their leaders at the time. After their experiences with Britain and its governmental tyranny over the colonists, American leaders greatly dreaded tyrannical governmental control over their rights and freedoms. State constitutions echoed this trend, with their emphasis on power stemming from the people, constitutional provisions protecting the rights of the people, and the principles of Separation of Powers, or delegating specific functions to differing branches of government so as to avoid overlap which would give one branch more power over another. Despite these good intentions, the Articles of Confederation were, in the eyes of many American leaders, too weak to run the country after the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. Exacerbating the document’s weaknesses was the fledgling nation’s war debt. In Massachusetts, farmers who were brought into debt by the nation’s inability to pay them for their war service instigated an uprising called Shay’s Rebellion, which showed the nation’s weakness due to this debt. The States printed their own money, leading to a hectic financial situation that the Confederation Government had no ability to stop. The only success of the Articles of Confederation was the Northwest Ordinance, passed in 1787, which established the framework by which new territories and states could be created in America’s westward expansion. These dangers and failures led to two conventions being called to examine the state of the Federal government and devise a way for it to be changed. The first one, the Annapolis Convention in 1786, was unsuccessful in bringing about any changes to the government, while the second, held in Philadelphia, was what is now known as the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The Constitutional Convention, attended by 70 delegates from 12 states (Rhode Island chose not to attend the convention), was where the greatest political minds in America would fiercely debate what government would be best for the people of the United States of America and, eventually, had to 6 produce shrewd compromises in order to create an acceptable constitution to all parties. The product was the Constitution of the United States. It would require, as per its specifications, a two-thirds majority among the states before it could be adopted. This process was called ratification. The Federalist Papers would be a key part of this process, swaying many undecided and opposing Americans to the side of ratification with their eloquent and well-reasoned arguments. The Constitution was finally ratified by the states in 1789. Sources Cited “The Constitutional Convention." Constitution Facts.

Throughout the 1790s, a massive influx of runaways from the hinterland and black refugees from the Caribbean led to the rapid expansion of the city’s free black population. At the same time, white agitation for abolition reached a fever pitch. The legislature’s decision in 1799 to enact a program of gradual emancipation set off a wave of arranged manumissions that filled city streets with black bodies at all stages of transition from slavery to freedom. As blacks began to organize politically and develop a distinct social, economic and cultural life, they both conformed to and defied white expectations of republican citizenship.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    Classroom Materials developed by the New-YYork Historical Society as a companion to the exhibit Generous support provided by THE NEW-YYORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY Since its founding in 1804, the New-York Historical Society (N-YHS) has been a mainstay of cultural life in New York City and a center of historical scholarship and education. For generations, students and teachers have been able to benefit directly from the N-YHS’s mission to collect, preserve and interpret materials relevant to the history of our city, state and nation. N-YHS consistently creates opportunities to experience the nation’s history through the prism of New York. Our uniquely integrated collection of documents and objects are par- ticularly well-suited for educational purposes, not only for scholars but also for school children, teachers and the larger public. The story of New York’s rootedness in the enslavement of Africans is largely unknown to the general public. Over the next two years, the New-York Historical Society, together with the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, will stage two major exhibitions, with walking tours, educational materials and programs for learners of all ages. The first of these exhibits, entitled “Slavery in New York,” explores the vital roles enslaved labor and the slave trade played in making New York one of the wealthiest cities in the world. In bringing this compelling and dramatic story to the forefront of historical inquiry, “Slavery in New York” will transform col- lective understanding of this great city’s past, present and future. The enclosed resources have been devel- oped to facilitate pre- and post-visit lessons in the classroom and provide learning experiences beyond the duration of the exhibit.

This report calls for requirements that candidates release more personal financial information, including five years of tax returns, and undergo criminal and intelligence background checks. The report also advocates for a system allowing candidates to submit to voluntary medical exams with some results released to the public.
