  • Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies
    Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.

A SMALL PLACE IN GEORGIA: YEOMAN CULTURAL PRESISTANCE by TERRENCE LEE KERSEY Under the Direction of Glenn Eskew ABSTRACT In antebellum Upcounty Georgia, the Southern yeomanry developed a society independent of the planter class. Many of the studies of the pre-Civil War Southern yeomanry describe a class that is living within the cracks of a planter-dominated society, using, and subject to those institutions that served the planter class. Yet in Forsyth County, a yeomanry-dominated society created and nurtured institutions that met their class needs, not parasitically using those developed by the planter class for their own needs.

  • Analysis of Dredge Tailings Pile Patterns: Applications for Historical Archaeological Research
    Analysis of Dredge Tailings Pile Patterns: Applications for Historical Archaeological Research AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sarah Elizabeth Purdy for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on June 7, 2007. Title: Analysis of Dredge Tailings Pile Patterns: Applications for Historical Archaeological Research. Abstract approved: ________________________________________________________________________________ Dr. David R. Brauner For centuries humans have been searching for precious metals. The search for gold has greatly changed the landscape of the American West, beginning in the 1850s and continuing today. Various gold rushes around the country created mining colonies in remote areas, thereby connecting the frontier with the rest of America and Europe. This research attempts to expand on the previous industrial archaeology literature, which focuses on historic mining sites and landscape patterns, by concentrating solely on dredge mining. This study analyzes dredge mining activity in the Elk City Township (T. 29 N., R. 8 E.) of North Central Idaho. Dredge mining leaves behind a mark on the landscape in the form of tailings piles, which are uniquely patterned due to different technologies. Through a detailed analysis of the tailings pile patterns, an archaeologist can determine what dredging technology was used, the time period of the operation, and the number of workers employed. In order to understand the technology used, part of this work is dedicated to the various forms of dredges that were used, along with the various dredge mining methods. This research provides a set of guidelines for archaeologists to properly document dredge tailings piles and determine their significance. The major contributions of this thesis are to clarify the historical context for dredge mining in North Central Idaho, to identify visible footprints left by this industrial activity, and to identify both pedestrian survey and remote sensing techniques to locate and differentiate between the various dredging technologies.

The pulp and paper industry is a major economic sector in the southeastern United States, with annual global shipments of paper products valued at almost $60 billion. Hardwood trees in the Southeast are a critical feedstock component for this industry. A reliable, high quality and cost-effective hardwood supply is necessary to sustain the pulp and paper industry in the United States, both to meet domestic demands and retain a competitive position in global markets. Hardwood supplies in the United States are projected to experience increasing demands, both from the pulp and paper sector as well as emerging new bioenergy applications.

  • America 1835-1900 Gold Rush Learning Objective to Evaluate to What Extent the Discovery of Gold Influenced Movement West in the USA
    America 1835-1900 Gold Rush Learning Objective To evaluate to what extent the discovery of gold influenced movement west in the USA. Targeting Assessment Objectives AO1 and AO2 Success Criteria • To recall the most significant gold rushes. • To describe how gold influenced movement west. • To assess the impact of the California gold rush on the growth of the USA. Ka-Ching! Gold has a special place in the imagination of people around the world. With a partner, come up with a list of descriptive words for this precious metal. The Georgia Gold Rush A gold rush occurs when gold is found in an area. Miners, prospectors and others all rush to the area to gather the precious material. A small amount of gold could make a person rich, meaning that many people would be attracted by the hope of changing their lives. Gold rushes had occurred in the eastern states of the USA before 1830. North Carolina had seen a small rush in the 17th century and Georgia struck gold in late 1829. The Cherokee of Georgia were forced away from their traditional lands by the rush, with 20% of the Cherokee losing their lives in the following Trail of Tears, (see lesson 1 for more information on this). Source 1 The news got abroad, and such excitement you never saw. It seemed within a few days as if the whole world must have heard of it, for men came from every state I had ever heard of. They came afoot, on horseback and in wagons, acting more like crazy men than anything else.

  • THERE's GOLD in THEM 'THAR HILLS! by MARIELLE LUMANG
    THERE’S GOLD IN THEM ‘THAR HILLS! by MARIELLE LUMANG (Under the Direction of John C. Waters) ABSTRACT This thesis will examine several “boom and bust” towns in light of the gold mining industry. The primary focus will be the first major Gold Rush located in the mountains of North Georgia during the 1820s when the area would be dramatically changed with the discovery of gold. Not only will this thesis discuss the history and origins of gold mining, but it will also discuss the significance of the Gold Rush. In the process, several towns will be examined, Auraria and Dahlonega in Georgia, Telluride, Colorado; and Bodie, California. These towns are considered “boom and bust” towns, experiencing the success and decline of development that was so closely related to gold mining. However, each town has responded to the decline in distinct ways. The conclusion of this thesis will recommend several strategies for other “boom and bust” towns based on the successes of these four unique examples.

But the Library Soctcty had an illustrious life of its own, and its n1en1bers included son1e of the elite politicians, writers, n1erchants, and artists of Federal Boston. In this bicentennial year of its birth, we arc con1n1en1orating the So­ ciety·s prestigious position in the history of the intellectual life of the fledgling United States with an exhibition and publication that \vill place the Society firmly in the 1innatncnt of institutions that shaped Boston's cultural history.
