A. In the election of 1824, there were four towering candidates: Andrew Jackson of Tennessee, Henry Clay of Kentucky, William H. Crawford of Georgia, and John Q. Adams of Massachusetts.

Three were a “favorite son” of their respective region but Clay thought of himself as a national figure (he was Speaker of the House and author of the “American System”).…

The election of 1800 was one of, if not, the most mysterious and most exciting presidential elections in the history of the United States. The election was a great clash of powers between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans who believed the winner could possibly set the path of America’s government, possibly forever. The Democratic-Republicans believed if the federalists won they would destroy the republic, and get rid of liberty that the American people fought for n the American Revolution. Federalists, months before the election, tried to implement the Alien and sedition Acts which were a series of four laws, one of them making sedition and libel of the governed a crime. The acts, along with the direct tax of 1798, and a military the federalists were building up, according to the textbook Liberty, equality, power, were not popular with the people with the people and worked in the favor of the Democratic-Republicans.…
The Gadsden Purchase of 1853 is one of the most monumental land purchases in United States history. In basic terms, the Gadsden Purchase was an area of land that was acquired by the United States from Mexico in order to build a railway for the transportation of goods in the South from East to West in order to fulfill Manifest Destiny. Throughout this paper, I hope to accurately navigate through the events prior to the Gadsden Purchase as well as the early life of James Gadsden. Although many topics relate to the purchase itself, I will offer a historical view into Gadsden’s life before, after, and during the purchase as well as a more in depth look into the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. I shall also touch base on why the land was so sought after, for what purposes, the Santa Anna profile, and the details of the land and the growth of the region after the treaty. Although the original railway plans were never fully developed, the region of the Gadsden Purchase is rich in history and culture, and is, in my opinion the most well-known land purchase in United States history.…
In the essay, I have chosen to investigate the rebellion in Southampton, Virginia, known as Nat Turner’s Rebellion. This rebellion took place in August of 1851, and was also the largest slave rebellion in history, in terms of the amount of fatalities in the South. I have studied and gathered information about this rebellion from The Richmond Complier and the Constitutional Whig. Based on these primary documents, I will compare, contrast, and bring to light original thoughts based of my readings.…
From 1848 to 1891, the government of the United States and its army were tasked to secure the nation’s expansion into newly acquired territories west of the Mississippi River. Even during the Civil War years, the western frontier and those citizens intending to settle those areas compelled attention and protection from the government and the army. Yet, the United States government never clearly formulated a doctrine for handling the population already living in the new territories, the American Indian tribes. A cohesive doctrine issued by the Government to manage Western expansion and Indian affairs, along with a professional, well-trained, unified army would have avoided the worst violence of the Indian wars.…

Theme: Even as post–Civil War America expanded and industrialized, political life in the Gilded Age was marked by ineptitude, stalemate, and corruption. Despite their similarity at the national level, the two parties competed fiercely for offices and spoils, while doling out “pork-barrel” benefits to veterans and other special interest groups.…
