Ohio 4-H International Programs - Celebrating 63 Years!

Open Your World! Ohio 4-H International Exchange Programs are among the largest and most successful in the country. Ohio families host exchangees from around the world, and Ohio youth & adults travel abroad to live and tour in a variety of countries. Host Families & Youth Travelers do not have to be 4-H members ~ in fact, they automatically become members by participating!

In 1994 I travelled to Denmark with the International 4-H Youth Exchange. Then in 2002, I went to Botswana with the same program! My sister has hosted several exchange students through the program too!

Don’t have the time and money to travel? Enjoy the exposure to different cultures which traveling brings? Looking for a low-cost project or experience in which the whole family can participate and grow together? The Ohio 4-H International Program allows families to gain the benefits of international travel right here at home, as they welcome a new son, daughter, brother or sister from another country into their homes. Host families come in many shapes and sizes and are responsible for lodging, meals, and family activities. Exchangees bring personal spending money, as well as medical insurance coverage. Host families are asked to “live their everyday life," and to simply treat their exchangee as a member of the family, with the same responsibilities and privileges as other members.

Notes:
*Families hosting any Month-Long Youth must have their own child of the same gender and approximate age.
*Families should not have any native speakers of the language of their visitor, and can only host one visitor at a time.
Deadlines: Applications to host a Japanese exchangee should be submitted as soon as possible, and by 2/28 for first-choice placements. Applications are accepted until all exchangees are placed, which is usually March for girls and May for boys.

Applications for hosting a non-Japanese youth have a final deadline of 2/28.

The 2012 exchange visitors to Ohio will include:
 Japanese Labo Youth for 1 Month July 26 to August 21 (Ages 12-16)
 Japanese Labo Older Youth for 2-4 Weeks July 26 – Aug. 8 or August 8 – 21 or Both (Ages 19-22)
 Japanese Labo Adult for 2-4 Weeks July 26 – Aug. 8 or August 8 – 21 or Both (Ages 30-55)
 Finland or Argentina for 1 Month July 2 – 30 (Finland) (Ages 15-18)
(Youth or Adult) July 9 – Aug. 7 (Argentina) (Ages 15-18)

Chapter 10 Section 1 - Building a National Identity

With no major political divisions after the War of 1812, a spirit of nationalism spread throughout the United States. This nationalism was symbolized by the warm relationship between citizens and President James Monroe. Regional differences, however, brought an end to what was called the Era of Good Feelings. Sectionalism grew more intense over the issues of slavery and tariffs.

Three strong leaders emerged in Congress, representing the three different regions: Southerner John C. Calhoun supported state sovereignty, Daniel Webster came from the North and favored the Tariff of 1816, and Henry Clay spoke for the interests of the Western states. Clay was known for solving national disputes and helped pass the Missouri Compromise that preserved the balance between slave states and non-slave states. When the Supreme Court became involved in sectional and states’ rights issues, its decisions strengthened the power of national government.

Chapter 9 Section 4 - The War of 1812

Summary

Madison felt pressure from the War Hawks - Western Republican congressmen - to declare war against Britain, which he did in 1812. Despite the War Hawks’ confidence, the United States army was unprepared for war with Great Britain. The British captured Washington D.C., but lost the Battle of Lake Champlain, and decided not to continue fighting. Before word of the war’s end reached the United States, Andrew Jackson’s forces decisively won the Battle of New Orleans. Americans now felt a strong national identity and gained the respect of other nations.

Chapter 9 Section 3 - A Time of Conflict

Summary

American merchants depended on travel by sea. By forcing ships to pay tribute, pirates along the Mediterranean’s Barbary Coast made these journeys dangerous. When Jefferson refused to pay further tribute, the state of Tripoli declared war on the United States. Meanwhile, the British forced Americans seamen to fight in their war against France and attempted to interfere with American shipping.

When James Madison became president in 1808, trade issues with Britain and France, as well as tensions between white settlers and Native Americans, had the nation on the verge of war. Shawnee chief Tecumseh tried to form a confederacy among Native American nations, but after defeat at the Battle of Tippecanoe, he joined forces with the British.

Section 2: The Birth of Political Parties
Section 3: Troubles at Home and Abroad
Section 4: The Presidency of John Adams



Summary

After taking the oath of office, President Washington and the new Congress had to make many decisions about the structure of the new government. They created departments within the executive branch, a court system, and added the Bill of Rights to the Constitution. The Bill of Rights protected individual liberties, such as freedom of speech and the right to a trial by jury.

While Washington focused his attention on foreign affairs, Alexander Hamilton, the secretary of the treasury, was left to tackle the nation’s large financial debt. He proposed that the Confederation government repay debts owed to individual American citizens and countries. As a compromise to Southerners who thought this favored the North, Hamilton supported a plan to locate the nation’s capital in the South. Hamilton also asked Congress to create a national bank, and proposed a tariff on imported products to encourage the growth of American industry.

The new government faced many challenges. In Pennsylvania, farmers angry about a tax on whiskey staged the Whiskey Rebellion. Washington decided to exert his power and used force to crush this revolt. In the West, settlers were moving onto land protected by treaties with Native Americans. After many battles, however, Native Americans signed the Treaty of Greenville and surrendered most of their land.

When Britain and France went to war in 1793, Washington hoped that the United States could remain neutral. When the British captured and impressed American ships, Washington sent chief justice John Jay to reach a settlement. In what became known as Jay’s Treaty, the British agreed to withdraw from American soil. Another agreement, known as Pinckney’s Treaty, also settled U.S. disputes with Spain.


By 1796 Americans began to take opposing sides on issues, and two political parties emerged from the debates. The Federalists generally supported a strong central government, one that had the powers not only explicitly stated in the Constitution, but also those implied by it. The Republicans, on the other hand, wanted to limit government’s power in order to protect individual liberties. They believed that a democracy required the participation of ordinary people and not just elected representatives. In the election of 1796, Federalist John Adams had the most votes and became president. Republican Thomas Jefferson received the second highest number of votes and so became Vice President.

During his administration, Adams was faced with resolving ongoing disputes with France, as well as the challenge sparked by the Alien and Sedition Acts over the principles of states’ rights and individual liberties.
