Harrison Going Back To The Dark Age Analysis
Harrison and his dad, George, have two different feelings towards the government. George agrees with the government, he thinks it is keeping society from going back to the dark ages where everyone was competing with each other(Pg.41 ln. 74). Going back to the dark ages would cause people to start hating each other(Pg.41 ln.75-81). Harrison was the complete opposite; he knew that the government was keeping people from their true happiness and full potential. “I am the Emperor...the greater ruler than any man who ever lied…Now watch me become what I can become (pg 43 ln. 142-147)!

    Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark was a very action-packed movie with the main character really not accomplishing his goal. The whole theme and the whole central idea of the film was that sometimes in life things are just meant to not be disturbed to be in your life. Indiana wanted that ark, he tried and risked his life to do as much as he could to get that ark. Only thing was that he was fighting against another archaeologist who also wanted it. With all the problems that it caused, none of them got to keep the ark, because it wasn’t meant to be kept. Way too many problems occur if you do attempt, which is what the movie demonstrated.…

    Harrison’s modern ideas of running for presidency included a more personal approach to his constituency, a wise use of media resources, and also the importance of committee workers who actively participate in campaigning publicly and also within the conventions. Benjamin Harrison was the first nominee to give speeches to the people who would be voting, along with publishing his platform to the public through use of political text books and newspapers15. Also his front porch campaign allowed Harrison to answer questions and state his position on the issues effectively16. Another important aspect of Harrison’s campaigning and election is due to the effort that his Republican team put into their jobs and the support he gained from other people. William W. Dudley wrote Harrison “I love you as a brother and will stand by you as long as I live”17. Other supporters include Michner and Elkins. Michner said during the convention “New York is standing by us firmly and will continue. I believe our man will be nominated”, and somehow Platt was under the impression that if Harrison gained New York’s full support he would be appointed as secretary of the treasury in a Harrison administration. Later on some accounts showed that “Elkins made the promise to Platt in exchange for New York’s full support for Harrison”18. The undying support and…

    My observation is based on the television mini-series ‘Hatfields and Mccoys’. This is a true story of two families in the late 1800s that had animosity between each other and how their animosity led to many deaths, a battle, and eventually a spot in history. Both sides take pride in their family and both families stand up for what they believe to be right. In the beginning I thought they were all very close knit and I liked that about their families. Their feud began when the patriarch of both families were off at war and Devil Anse Hatfield left the war in the middle of the night after trying to convince Randall McCoy to come with him. McCoy, doing the honorable…

    Hamilton believed that the upper-class ought to have a stake in the government, as they did during Shay’s Rebellion. “Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share in the government…as they cannot receive any advantage by a change, they therefore will ever maintain good government.” Hamilton would have argued that the elite legislature in Massachusetts was in fact acting in the best interest of the state as they “cannot receive any advantage,” and as such there was no need to rebel. Hamilton’s trust in the upper-class, and general distrust of the mass of the people, meant that he would have certainly been opposed to the…

    He went to Farmer’s College, where he would meet his future wife, Catherine Scott. Harrison was a Republican who believed in African American rights. Harrison may have made a few mistakes, but he was overall a good President because of his work on the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, the Federal Elections Bill, and he dealt with the concerns of the disease, trichinosis. The Sherman Silver Purchase Act was one of the main reasons that made Harrison’s Presidency memorable.…

Patrick Henry said "ours petitions have been slighted; ours remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; ours supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne."Thomas Paine said " Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny has declared that she has a right to not only tax us but to bind us in all cases whatsoever."

    However Jefferson had supported the average man unlike Hamilton who excluded the poor in his plans for the government and economy. Another example would be that Hamilton’s plan could become corrupted from the chosen few to become greedy and lead into tyranny. Jefferson had instead believed in divided power and in a weaker central government as he feared for a strong central government to take away liberty. The people participating in the federal government could be tempted to serve themselves rather than the people. Jefferson believed in the common people, calling them the “chosen people of God” (8). However Hamilton trusted only the rich and educated to partake in the government which would result with where the “poor would become poorer”…

    Hamilton understood that a strong central government would be needed to keep the fledgling country alive. In order to keep a strong government that understood the problems at hand, it needed to be run by first class, educated men. Hamilton also makes a good point in saying that, though Jeffersonians thought the rich would corrupt the government in order to profit for themselves, the rich had nothing to gain as they were already at the top of the social ladder. Whiele Hamilton was a realist, Jefferson was a romantic. He lagged…

    The theme of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” is their use of plot. This is because the story shows us that taking chances and being adventurous with life helps you discover new and exciting things. The thing that the filmmakers are trying to tell us is to go out and experience these new things so that you can make the most out of life like Indiana Jones but not to be too reckless like the people that opened the ark and payed the price for it. This lesson is successful because it’s demonstrating the excitement of exploring the world in search of new finds that are interesting and could benefit the world. If I were the director of this film however I wouldn’t have left a kind of cliffhanger at the end of the film that left some unanswered questions…

    Although Jefferson often showed a strong dislike for the Federalist laws and programs, when he took office he left many of the Federalist programs intact, and except for revoking the excise tax, the Hamiltonian system was mostly left as it was. However, this act of Jefferson’s went against many of the political beliefs held by his party and himself. Jefferson and Hamilton’s philosophies differed greatly in that Jefferson adhered to a weak central government, with most of the power in the hands of the states. He believed that the federal government’s power should be restrained and limited, so that it would not be able to become tyrannical or try and undermine the power of the states and the people.…

    Alternatively, Jefferson came from wealth, but was a champion of the poor and a proponent of taxing the wealthy. Another area where the two men differed was in regard to economic policy. As the Secretary of the Treasury in the new government, Hamilton’s policies established a National Bank, provided the U.S. with uniform currency, and worked to establish the financial credit of the new nation. Jefferson opposed the creation of a National Bank because of his belief that that the Constitution did not give federal authority for it. Yet another area of disagreement between the two was the size of the army. Hamilton believed in a strong federal force and true to his beliefs in local and state powers, Jefferson believed that the U.S. did not need a large, national army.…

    What, in your mind, determines a legacy? Is it someone that makes a change in the world by standing up for what they believe in or someone that does beneficial things after becoming well known for a bad reason? Nothing of great importance happens over night, just like becoming known as a legacy takes many years of great acts and small doses of recognition. With time being one of the greatest factors of determination, did William H. Harrison really leave a legacy if he was only president for thirty days?…
