The early nineteenth century saw the rise of a new middle class in the United States and a shift in both middle-class values and family dynamics. A major change of this era was the trend that middle-class families preferred to postpone employment for family members until adulthood. This ideal, called [BLANK-1], was available only to families who could do without their offspring’s labor. The new middle class preferred a period in which boys and girls were sheltered within the home and nurtured through primary schooling. Those who were afforded these opportunities often entered respectable, well-paying positions when they matured and those who did not tended to become dependent workers with little prospects for social mobility.

Although he favored continuing to support Henry Clay’s American System, [BLANK-1] was largely unremarkable due to the opposition from his political opponent, who in response to his perceived slight in the Election of 1824, encouraged his supporters to obstruct everything the president did in congress. This man spent four unhappy years in the White House, accomplishing little, before inevitably losing to his Democratic opponent.

The first military action of the American Revolution occurred on April 19, 1775 in skirmishes at [BLANK-1]. Here, the Massachusetts colonial militia (the Minutemen) attempted to stop British regulars from confiscating arms and ammunition at a nearby armory. The Minutemen had been warned of the British troop movements the night before by Paul Revere and other midnight riders. The two armed forces fired upon one another and engaged in sporadic action throughout the morning. The Minutemen eventually forced the British regulars to withdraw, thus saving the armory. This event, known as “The Shot Heard ‘Round the World” marked the beginning of the American Revolution.
