CHAPTERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY The Stamp Act of 1765 was an attempt by Eng- land to tax items that were wholly American. The colonists reacted in seething resentment which erupted into angry protestations. The first blood of the American Revolution was spilled during one such incident at Boston in 1770. Several Americans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United States found itself in a naval war over shipping lanes. Fort McHenry was heriocally held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting. The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem. Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trains loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West. The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available. In 1848, James Marshall found gold in the race of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coloma, California. The lust to get rich quick was the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever. The Iron Horse, carrying homesteaders, greatly helped settlement of the new country. The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10,1869. Agriculture was the wealth of the country. American inventions of the time were often re- lated to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines, textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the settling of new frontiers. Cities grew at an alarming pace; often without regard to tire limits of safety. The great Chicago fire of 1871 burned the bustling cattle market empire beyond recognition. But the pioneer spirit was not broken. Chicagoans began re- building and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of the country. Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built set dements and drove back the Indians. The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication. While gold rush fever gripped the country, states were increasingly more divided on the slavery issue. Civil war broke out in the East. This Brothers War was bitterly fought and, though the scars remain even today, slavery was abolished.
