October+6+11

In your "TLH Notebooks" (in your portfolios) write a paragraph that explains what you think about when you hear the word //nationalism//. I don't expect that you all have a perfect, but I do expect that you've heard it before. Tell me about whatever comes to mind :)

We're going to begin by watching this simple video on the "Growth of a Nation". When finished we'll talk about what we saw in the video. Our focus today is to explore **//how America’s foundational values and principles influenced US foreign policy prior to 1877//**.
 * What We Did In Class**

About those definitions of nationalism from before, what is it? How does it influence foreign affairs and policies?

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. Download, open, and look this over before we begin. We will complete this as an in-class/homework activity.

Complete one row of your [|Foreign Policy Prior to the Civil War.pages] document.
