In it, you identify a person or group of people, their goal, need, or want, what conflict of interest stood in the way, and the outcome.

    From the end of the Civil War until the turn of the century there were many changes in American society. While some may see these changes as all beneficial, others will argue that the changes made in American society from 1865 to 1910 were mainly detrimental. When we talk about history, its difficult to say if it was good or bad. Throughout history some groups of people have benefited, while others were harmed. Not everyone can prosper from the same event; there will always be winners and losers.…

    The 19th century was marked by the uprising of the middle class and the spread of revolutionary ideas caused by the French Revolution, which ultimately led to the outbreak of war all across Europe. Once France was defeated, the Vienna Congress met to discuss the future and fate of Europe. The purpose of the Vienna Congress was to establish an international framework for continental cooperation and the maintenance of the balance of power. This aided the emperors of Russia, Austria as well as Prussia to focus on internal state issues instead of warfare among European countries. Internally, these emperors were concerned with the spread of revolutionary ideas, which originated in France and questioned the traditional authority. This research paper…

    In 1982 Eric Foner, a historian and writer, penned an article called “Reconstruction Revisited”. In this article he expressed his views on the Reconstruction period of American history, and how this period of time had become the subject of much debate. To begin this discussion Foner writes, "historians have failed to produce a coherent modern portrait of Reconstruction.”1 To back this statement, Foner uses specific examples stemming from the different schools of thought to come of studying Reconstruction and how much they have varied, both from each other and sometimes the truth.…

    There should be reference to the geographical reasons for the carrying out of the investigation in the area selected. This will include an explanation of reasons for the selection of the location. There is likely to be a description of the geographical characteristics of the area selected and reference to the underpinning theory would therefore be relevant to explain why the area was selected. There is likely to be a multi-layering of response, explaining why the area was selected to carry out the investigation and there may be reference to the theoretical context. Other geographical reasons are also valid, such as restrictions of resources (people and/or equipment), risk assessment, time available, etc., all relevant if linking the geographical reasons to the location.

    The era between World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945) was considered as one of the most unstable period in world’s history. Europe faced after the First World War an entirely new stage, devastation was a massive issue and found almost everywhere after war and after the loss of three important empires: the German, the Ottoman, and the Austria-Hungarian empires. Viewing the political map of Europe shortly after World War I it is noticeable that there were only two countries with no democracy in 1919, those two countries were the Soviet Union and Hungary. The situation was different in 1939 and not really comparable, because in 1939 there were only a few countries or nations with a parliamentary government. France, Britain, Switzerland, Belgium, and Scandinavian countries are…

    Americans have well understood the significance of the phrase, "All men are created equal." Throughout the history of the United States, the meaning of the phrase " All men are created equal" has changed and expanded. When this statement was written in the Constitution, it was to ensure that people in America would never be subject to a tyrannical and oppressive rule that benefited only the upper class and those in Britain. The people occupying America before the American Revolutionary War were taxed unfairly and weren't allowed representation despite providing much profit for Britain. This led to uprisings against British rule and eventually a war which resulted in America becoming an independent nation. At this point in America's history, equality meant every man had a say in how he was governed and should have equal rights so the majority would be satisfied and wouldn't revolt.…

    Two different types of liberty are recognized in John Winthrop’s speech to the Massachusetts general court, natural liberties and civil liberties. Winthrop also uses an analogy of women to explain his understanding of liberty. Winthrop considers natural liberties dangerous for many reasons, but he mainly argues nobody enforces natural liberty which makes them dangerous, while doing so he uses an analogy to the status of women to promote his idea and understanding of civil liberties.…

    Our country owes a great deal of gratitude to our veterans. The freedom we have today is in a great part thanks to them. Many veterans have given so much; some even gave their lives, to ensure our rights. These rights are taken for granted by most US citizens today. But, hopefully, on days like Veterans’ Day and other major holidays that honor our veterans, Americans take a look around and appreciate all these great soldiers have done to secure our freedom.…

    When I hear the word puritan, I think of perfect families, with perfect children, who live together in a harmonious, yet extremely strict atmosphere. In all honesty, I wanted to know the actual definition. When I googled puritan, I found a few different meanings. The one that is easiest for me to understand came from “The free dictionary.com. It says, “Scrupulous moral rigor, especially hostility to social pleasures and indulgences with extreme, often excessive strictness in moral or religious matters. I believe no family is perfect, so I was excited to read the Essay.…
