  • Westward Movement & Settling Oregon Country
    I. WHY DID AMERICANS MOVE WEST? A. Many people looked west of the Appalachian Mountains for land to settle B. The population in early 1800’s America was starting to grow. C. This made land more expensive as there was less of it to buy. II. NORTHWEST ORDINANCE A. The Northwest Ordinance was agreed upon in 1784 and was divided up so that individuals could buy the land. B. This was a much needed source of revenue for the U.S. gov’t, as there were still many debts to pay. C. Louisiana Purchase made even more land available for westward expansion. III. HEADING INTO THE WEST A. Some of the territories were gained through war 1. Florida was gained when General Andrew Jackson invaded and Spain surrendered. 2. Oregon was gained in a settlement to avoid a war. B. To settle all these new lands, settlers would follow the rivers. 1. Rivers offered the easiest mode of transportation. 2. Settlers would load their animals and wagons onto flatboats. IV. THE AMERICAN SYSTEM A. Henry Clay promoted his “American System” as an economic system that would benefit agriculture, merchants, and industry. 1. Tariffs would be raised to protect industry. 2. The National Bank would make loans to promote business growth. 3. The tariffs and the sale of public lands would provide funds for the building of roads, canals, and other improvements. V. TECHNOLOGY SPEEDS TRANSPORTATION A. The advent of the steamboat made going upstream easier and made shipping much cheaper. B. The Erie Canal connected the Great Lakes to the Mohawk and Hudson rivers.

  • Keller Williams
    Keller Williams Keller Williams released his first album in 1994, FREEK, and has since given each of his albums a single syllable title: BUZZ, SPUN, BREATHE, LOOP, LAUGH, HOME, DANCE, STAGE, GRASS, DREAM, TWELVE, LIVE, ODD, THIEF, KIDS, BASS, PICK, FUNK, VAPE, SYNC, RAW, SANS and Add, those who have followed his career will know this. Each title serves as a concise summation of the concept guiding each project. GRASS, for example, is a bluegrass recording cut with the husband-wife duo The Keels. STAGE is a live album, and DREAM is the realization of Keller’s wish to collaborate with some of his musical heroes. THIEF is a set of unexpected cover songs, KIDS offers Keller’s first children’s record, PICK presents Keller’s collaboration with royal bluegrass family The Travelin’ McCoury’s, and RAW is a solo acoustic album. Each album showcases Keller’s comprehensive and diverse musical endeavors and functions to provide another piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is Keller Williams. Keller’s collaborative and solo albums reflect his pursuit to create music that sounds like nothing else. Unbeholden to conventionalism, he seamlessly crosses genre boundaries. The end product is astounding and novel music that encompasses rock, jazz, funk and bluegrass, and always keeps the audience on their feet. Since he first appeared on the scene in the early ’90s, Williams has defined the term independent artist. And his recordings tell only half the story. Keller built his reputation initially on his engaging live performances, no two of which are ever alike. For most of his career he has performed solo.
