The Monroe Doctrine and American Imperialism

By Mike Kubic

2017

The Monroe Doctrine was a United States policy beginning in 1823 that opposed Europe’s

colonization of the Americas. Mike Kubic, a former Newsweek magazine correspondent,

discusses the parameters of the policy, as well as its effects both nationally and globally. As

you read, take note of how the meaning and implementation of the Monroe Doctrine have

changed over time, and the effect that this has had on America’s foreign policy.

The Missouri Compromise

By USHistory.org

2016

This text discusses how the addition of new states to the United States raised questions

about the future of slavery. In 1818, when Missouri asked to join the Union as a slave state,

the U.S. had an equal number of slave and free states, which balanced disputes between

them in Congress. The Missouri Compromise would be the first of many disagreements that

led to the Civil War, where the South tried to leave the U.S. in order to continue to practice

slavery. As you read, identify what the Missouri Compromise was and how different people

and groups involved with the compromise reacted to it.

Bloody Kansas

By USHistory.org

2016

A series of events dividing pro-slavery southern states and anti-slavery northern states led

up to the start of the Civil War in 1860. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed slavery

south of and prohibited slavery north of Missouri’s southern border. The Compromise of

1850 settled four years of political confrontation between slave and free states with five new

laws, including a stricter Fugitive Slave Law that legally required Northerners to return

escaped slaves to their southern owners. And finally, the development of a transcontinental

railroad would require the unorganized territory west of Missouri to become organized

territories preparing for statehood. All of this occurred a few years before the South

seceded, or left the Union, starting the Civil War. As you read, note who disagrees with

whom and what the effects of these disagreements are.
