The first decades of the nineteenth century saw the consolidation of the young nation after emerging victorious from the War of 1812 and its expansion  across the continent to the Pacific Coast. During this process of expansion, the U.S. government became involved in a series of wars against the native tribes for the possession of the lands claimed by the American European-descent settlers. A common practice of the government was the relocation of the tribes, defeated by the force of arms, to reservations located far away from the native tribes' homeland, as a way to handicap them in case of revolt.

Culturally, the popularity of British-like literature such as the tales of authors such as Longfellow gave way to an original U.S. literary genre: the modern detective story, created by Edgar Alan Poe. From this point, a trend for a more realistic and less stylized type of literature would lead to U.S. literary classics such as "Uncle Tom Cabin," "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," etc.

Economically, the Industrial Revolution took a firm hold in the Northern states, whereas the Southern states remained mostly agrarian and relying on slave labor as their main source of manpower. Beyond the simple difference between industrialized and agrarian, a great moral and political divide between citizens in the North and South over the humanity and legality of slavery gradually grew and led to a heated series of arguments for and against the abolition of slavery in Congress. Pro-slavery congressmen were usually outnumbered in Congress, which prompted them to a number of political maneuvers to defend the interests of the plantation owners in the South from the 1800s to the 1860s. This prolonged debate would gradually increase the political tensions between North and South and ultimately led to the Civil War.

Ksenya-84 [330]

In 1769, father Junipero Serra started a string of missions designed both to colonize California and Christianize. The indigenous inhabitants of California are those who have lived or still reside in the region inside the state's present borders before and after the arrival of Europeans. The wealthiest and most powerful lineage chiefs oversaw these tribes.

The importance placed on individual ownership of food resources like oak forests and fishing grounds is a reflection of the civilizations' strong emphasis on wealth. The Modoc, Achumawi, and Atsugewi tribes lived in this area. Native Americans in California and Christianize consumed a wide variety of plant foods, including acorns  and flowering plants.
