o Start date September 11, 2001 o Presidents who served George W. Bush o Significant era o Foreign affairs Al-Qaeda terrorists, War of Terror, USA PATRIOT Act o Though September 11th significantly affected Americans all around the country, post 9-11 expanded security and safety. On September 11th a group of terrorists hijacked airplanes and intentionally crashed into the New York Twin Towers. As around 3,000 victims lost their lives, airport security was greatly expanded for the safety of others. A serious change in airport security around the United States’ airports is greatly noticeable since the attack. Anti-terrorism legislation was expanded, and new laws were created. The liquid amount allowed was regulated for safety purposes. The Transportations Security Administration was also created as the after math of 9-11 which dealt with U.S. airport screening. Bulletproof and locked cockpit doors are installed for the safety of the pilots. The items allowed through security were greatly limited after the attack, including materials that now could be considered weapons. Any quantity of liquids, along with gels and aerosols greater that three ounces are now not allowed past security. Computers, electronics, and bottles must be separately placed and sent through security for proper viewing. Each citizen must now show proper identification in order to even pass though security screening to prove their identity to be the same on the boarding pass. With all the new security precautions now in order after 9-11, the U.S. protection was significantly affected and expanded. o Picture source o "Google Image Result for Http://www.firehow.com/images/stories/users/83/through-airport-security.jpg."

o Start date 1783 o Significant era The Revolutionary War o Foreign affairs The United States established an alliance with France and earned recognition from France and Spain. At the end of the Revolutionary War, the Treaty of Paris in 1783 granted all of the land between the Allegheny Mountains to the Mississippi River to the United States. All the territory between the Allegheny and the Mississippi was won by the United States and our territory was expanded to almost double. This would open up the Northwest Territory, Kentucky, and some of the Southern territories, and it posed a new problem to the Congress. How would the United States admit new territories that weren’t part of the original 13 colonies? One of the issues concerned upsetting the balance of power, and the other issue concerned slavery. o Picture source Source Citation: "New France.
