1830 · The Second Great Awakening
Being a second spiritual and religious awakening, like the First Great Awakening, many Churches began to spring up from other denominations. Many people began to rapidly join the Baptist and Methodist congregations. Many converts to these religions believed that the Awakening was the precursor of a new millennial age.
1830 · The Oregon Trail
Many people started their 2,170-mile West trek to settle the land found by Louis and Clark. They used large-wheeled wagons to pack most of their belongings and were guided by trails that were made by the previous trappers and traders who walked the area. Over time the trail needed annual improvements to make the trip faster and safer. Most of Interstate 80 and 84 cover most of the ground that was the original trail.
1830 · The Indian Removal Act
In a negotiation with the southern Native American Tribes, Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act which exchanged lands with the Native Tribes. The Act was supported mainly in the south, but the tribes showed resistance and ultimately were forcibly removed from their lands. The relocation of the tribes was later known as the Trail of Tears.
Name Meaning
Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hÍr or Ó hÉir ‘descendant of Ír’, a personal name, possibly meaning ‘long-lasting’, borne by a legendary ancestor of the north of Ireland. This name was always monosyllabic.
Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hAichir ‘descendant of Aichear’, a personal name derived from the epithet aichear ‘fierce, sharp’. The personal name on which this surname is based was originally disyllabic. Although the Anglicized forms O'Hehir and Hehir still exist, particularly in Ireland, pronunciation in later northern Irish has caused Ó hAichir to fall together with another surname, based on a one-syllable personal name, as in sense 1 above.
English: nickname from Middle English hare, harr, here ‘hare’ (Old English hara, sometimes influenced by Old Norse heri). It may have denoted someone who could run fast or was timorous, or who bore some similarity to a hare in appearance, such as bulging eyes.
