Thanks Ms. Sue But I didn't get any more information then that.
You're welcome. The Wikipedia timeline should help you.
Thanks I'll look around and what century was the Constitution signed?
The Constitution was signed in the 18th century -- Sept. 17, 1787.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
You're very welcome.
Certainly! While I am unable to browse external websites and provide you with specific dates for each event, I can give you a general overview of some pivotal events that occurred in the decades following the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. These events helped shape the nation and had a significant impact on its history.
1. The Louisiana Purchase (1803): In this landmark deal between the United States and France, President Thomas Jefferson acquired the vast territory of Louisiana, doubling the size of the country. This expansion had far-reaching consequences, including westward expansion and the opening of new opportunities for settlement and economic growth.
2. The War of 1812 (1812-1815): Fought between the United States and Britain, this conflict arose from American grievances over British interference with American trade and impressment of American sailors. Although not a decisive victory for either side, it reinforced U.S. independence and led to a surge of nationalism.
3. The Missouri Compromise (1820): As tension grew between free and slave states, Congress reached a compromise where Missouri would be admitted as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while also setting a boundary that prohibited slavery in future states north of the 36°30′ parallel.
4. The Mexican-American War (1846-1848): Arising from territorial disputes between the U.S. and Mexico, this conflict resulted in the United States acquiring a vast amount of territory, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.
5. The Seneca Falls Convention (1848): A significant milestone in the women's suffrage movement, the convention held in Seneca Falls, New York, advocated for women's rights and issued the Declaration of Sentiments, which demanded greater equality.
6. The Civil War (1861-1865): This devastating conflict emerged over the issue of slavery, with the Union (Northern states) fighting against the Confederacy (Southern states) seeking to preserve slavery and protect states' rights. The Union's victory led to the abolition of slavery and the preservation of the United States as a single, indivisible nation.
These events are just a few examples of the many important events that occurred in the decades after the ratification of the Constitution. I encourage you to explore further resources like history books, encyclopedias, or reliable websites to gather more specific information and dates.
