11. Many state constitutions required free public education for all children but few state governments actually provided free education in the early years Academies and private high schools often filled the gap All of this leads to the modern day public education

15. Population Growth In 1780 2.7 million people lived in the original 13 states. In 1830 12 million people lived in 24 states. The population doubled every 20 years.
16. Population Growth Continued 90% of the population growth came from the amount of children born. The average American woman had 5 children. The median age in America was 17 and the majority of the population was 16 and under.
17. Ch 7, Section 1 - Social Changes Mobility - CaitieBernadowski
18. Chapter 7, Section 1- Social Changes:Mobility The expanding population led to crowding, especially along the Atlantic coast. Americans solved this problem by moving away from crowded areas. The U.S. was (and still is) a mobile society, one in which people move from place to place.
19. New Mobility had Two Major Effects: Americans had great opportunities to improve their lives. Many moved west and started new societies. Enslaved Americans however, did not benefit from the mobile society.
20. People who moved often lived among strangers. Thus they had to learn new skills and make up new rules for getting along with others. ~ One social skill was the ability to judge strangers. Many people were likely to question another social position. Questioning a position usually led to violence.

27. Ch 7, Section 1 - Religious Renewal New Denominations Nick M. Cody Thomas
28. New Religious Denominations A denomination is a religious subgroup generally Christianity Baptists are a subgroup of Christianity and got their name from how a member of their church joins it, by being baptized.

30. Ch 7, Section 1 - Religious Renewal African American Worship By Jeremy Debnam

    Like white Americans, great numbers of African Americans turned to evangelical religion. As African Americans joined Christian churches, black and white traditions blended together. For instance, both black and white Christians sang spirituals, but African American singers, however, focused on themes that had a double meaning.
32. African American Worship (contd) African Americans sometimes felt unwelcome in white-dominated churches. In 1787, white worshippers at St. George Methodist Church in Philadelphia asked the African Americans in the congregation to leave the main floor and sit up in the gallery. They refused. Under the leadership of Richard Allen, they left and started a new church of their own.
33. African American Worship (contd) African Americans in other cities soon followed Allen’s example and started their own churches. Sixteen congregations joined in 1816 to form the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME). Members elected Allen as their first bishop and by 1831, the AME Church included 86 churches with about 8,000 members.
