Title ||  Accomplishment Details (who, what, when, where, why) ||  Social, Political, and/or Economic Each accomplishment will need to include an explanation as to whether it is social (for the people), political(for the government), or economic (for the financial well being  of the country). || Current Connection(s) For each accomplishment, you need to connect it to the world we live in today. || What: When: Where: Why: || S+P ||  || What: A duel. When: 1804 Where:In New Jersey, U.S. Why: || P- Mine is political because it deals with our V.P. which this spot is a part of the government. || A boxing match because the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr was known about, set up, and was thought about the only differenced is that boxing has safety to it but in a duel you can die. A duel is usually a battle betwee n two pewople and boxing is against two people. || What: Louisiana Purchase When: 1803 Where: U.S. Why: To gain colonial empire || P+E || My current connection is like buying a house. You need to Buy the house before someone else. Or get a good deal on it. || What: exploring the new territory they gained from the Louisiana purchase When: ﻿ The expedition started in May 1804, Summer of 1804 they made contact with the shoshone natives, met with the Nez Perce after crossing the rockies, reached the pacific northwest in November 1805, stayed there the winter, and began the journey hom in March 1806. Where: Louisiana territory. Why: to explore the new territory, and inform natives they now owned the louisiana land. How: Boats used to move across the great plains, Sacagewea, a shoshone native, gathered and pointed out edible plants, Sacagewea's brother gave them 24 horses to cross the Rockies, and paddled down the columbia river toward the pacific in five canoes. Picture for "Where": || S+P- I feel this event is social, and political. It is social, because a group of fifty men were going on this journey- people were bound to be talking about it! Also, I think it was political, because it was important for us to make contact with the natives- we had just bought that land, we had to let them know that the United States owned it now. I don't think this is economical. The Louisiana purchase was economical, but this is the Lewis and Clark expedition, not the Louisiana purchase. || Unknown territory doesn't have to just be some vast, unexplored region. It could be anything from a new school, to a brand new continent found on earth. I know that many of us "explored" the high school classes we could take recently. ||
