Change in the Early 1800s. The first half of the 19th century (1800s) was an era of great change for Americans. The nation was expanding, and morals/attitudes were changing as well. Using course content, describe and discuss at least three specific ways that America changed in the antebellum period (from 1800 to the start of the Civil War). You can choose to discuss geographic, social, technological, economic, or political change, but make sure that you include specific events and people who were connected to the changes that you have identified and dates/time frame. What were the effects/consequences of these changes on individuals, regions, and the nation as a whole?
