He didn’t bring many personal possessions, but he did manage to transport his portable Ramage printing press. His singular objective was to publish the Arkansas Territory’s first and only newspaper in Little Rock. Even back in 1823, Little Rock Arkansas, (Arkansas was not yet a state at that time) was a place that exuded plenty of opportunity and was also rumored to become the next territorial capital.

Starter: Dueling in Arkansas

Read pages 94 to 97
The most famous duel in American history is unquestionably that which occurred between Vice President Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, who greatly influenced the founding of America’s economy and was possibly on track to become President himself. Burr and Hamilton had long been political enemies by the time they met on the field of honor. Hamilton had been instrumental in preventing Burr from winning the Presidency when Burr tied Thomas Jefferson’s vote count, leading to Burr’s eventual appointment as Vice President.
The two men met on the field of honor in Weehawken, New Jersey on the morning of July 11, 1804. Interestingly enough, Hamilton’s son had fallen to a mortal blow in a duel at the very same place just two years before. The same guns used in his duel were also used in his father’s. The accounts of precisely what happened are conflicting, but it is generally thought that Hamilton fired first, aiming high and missing Burr completely. Burr then aimed squarely at Hamilton’s torso and returned fire. Hamilton fell, the bullet lodged in his spine, and he died the following morning. Whether Hamilton’s miss was intentional or not is debatable. Hamilton had recorded in a letter the previous night that he intended to purposefully miss Burr in an effort to end the confrontation without bloodshed. Still, other believe that Hamilton so detested Burr that he shared this sentiment simply to paint Burr as the villainous shedder of innocent blood, thus forever besmirching his character. If that truly was his wish, it was certainly granted. Though murder charges were filed against Burr, he was never brought to trial. But the ensuing political fallout undermined Burr’s political clout and brought a swift end to his career. |

Manifest Destiny / Westward Expansion
Starter: Read pages 104-107 and the passage below.
The term manifest destiny originated in the 1840s. It expressed the belief that it was Americans' providential mission to expand their civilization and institutions across the breadth of North America. This expansion would involve not merely territorial development but the progress of liberty and individual economic opportunity as well.
The phrase was first employed by John L. O'Sullivan in an article on the annexation of Texas published in the July-August 1845 edition of the United States Magazine and Democratic Review, which he edited. It was, O'Sullivan claimed, 'our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.' The term and the concept were taken up by those desiring to secure Oregon Territory, California, Mexican land in the Southwest, and, in the 1850s, Cuba.
