Yesterday you wrote what you think of when you hear the word "nationalism". I shared with you my explanation of "nationalism": > // Nationalism has been seen as a commitment to a nation, to the people within that nation, and to its leaders, often without criticism. A nation has historically been defined as a group of people living in a defined region, speaking the same language, having common historical and cultural traditions, and usually practicing the same religion. //

Today, in the discussion tab above, create a post that considers the role of nationalism in the event you studied last night (War of 1812, Monroe Doctrine, or the Mexican War).

Let's take a look at a few of the major foreign events/conflicts that occurred between the U.S. and other countries in America's first 50 years or so. We will use the [|Foreign Policy Prior to the Civil War.pages] document. Yesterday you were asked to study just one of these on the sheet and complete the row by identifying the description, causes, and consequences of the event. Let's share what we learned.

Now, let's explore the idea of Manifest Destiny.

None tonight, unless you are among the several who have something missing from earlier homeworks...
