Phase 1 Identify KEY IDEAS Differentiating Content-area Curriculum Curriculum team identifies key ideas and core concepts Step 1: Generate a list of statements, each reflecting a key idea about the topic. The intent is not to generate a list, but rather a set of statements written in a manner that someone unfamiliar with the topic would understand.

Most factory workers were immigrants, usually Irish. Little large scale farming t b/c of rocky soil & short growing season. Many railroads were developed to transport goods to & from factories and to harbors. Steamships also used, as were mule-barges.

In the North, huge religious revivals in the 1820s led by popular preachers (Beecher, Taylor, Finney) were part of a religious movement to reform society. They advocated immediate emancipation of slaves, and by the 1830s, the abolitionist became more organized and militant as the Underground Railroad emerged.

Notion of huge plantations with hundreds of slaves being typical in the South is largely a myth (only 2% of farmers owned 99% of slaves). While some owned one or two slaves, the typical farmer couldn’t afford slaves and lived in very primitive homes; Some slave owners were abusive, but many treated slaves more like investments, using the threat of violence to control them.

Although there were many anti-slavery advocates in North, extreme forms of “isms” (racism, sexism) were also common in the North. African-Americans and immigrants were often paid tiny amounts of $$ to work long hours in factories & mines. Most poor (white or black) were excluded from social services like hospitals. Af-Americans, immigrants, and women were not allowed to vote.

Af-Americans, immigrants, and women were not allowed to vote. Life was very harsh in North and South for those with little money. In Northern and Southern rural areas, people entertained themselves, usually by telling stories, singing, and, for those who could or were allowed, reading. People living in rural areas did subsistence farming and would barter homemade and homegrown rather than buy and sell things with money.
