    The Reconstruction Era: President Johnson Versus the Radical Republicans

    Abraham Lincoln issued the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction as the Reconstruction plan in 1863, two years before the end of civil war. Lincoln proposed the Ten-Percent Plan with a provision requiring the ex-confederate states to rewrite their constitution stating their allegiance to the United States. Those states can be admitted back if ten percent of its eligible voters pledged their loyalty to the Union. Included in Lincoln’s program was the Freedmen's Bureau. This program was a federal government agency organized to help the freed slaves and should operate for at least a year. The Bureau encouraged former plantation owners to rebuild their plantations. To the freed blacks, the agency helped them get jobs, and they were given food supplies and land. Included also in this program was the supervision in equality in labor and management so that blacks may be treated fairly.…

    Comparison Of Andrew Jackson And The Whigs: A New Two-Party System

    After the debacle of the one-party presidential campaign of 1824, a new two-party system began to emerge. Strong public reaction to perceived corruption in the vote in the House of Representatives, as well as the popularity of Andrew Jackson, allowed Martin Van Buren to organize a Democratic Party that resurrected a Jeffersonian philosophy of minimalism in the federal government. This new party opposed the tendencies of National Republicans such as John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay to invest more power in the federal government. Van Buren built a political machine to support Jackson in the 1828 election. Van Buren’s skills helped give the Democrats a head start on modern-style campaigning and a clear advantage in organization.…

    Coolidge: A Personal Analysis

    Shortly after leaving the Presidency of the United States, Coolidge looks back on his whole life and relates the wisdom of his experiences. No time was more important for instilling values than his early years in the hill country of Vermont, among “the evergreen and hardwood trees.” (4). He grew up without amenities, a simple “[c]ountry life,” (33) which, he remembers, “is neither artificial nor superficial, but is kept close to the realities.” (33) Looking back, he waxes nostalgic, “if I had the power to order my life anew I would not dare to change that period of it. If it did not afford me the best that there was, it abundantly provided the best that there was for me.” ( page)…

    Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidential reign began with the assassination of former president John F. Kennedy in 1963. While the people of the United States tried to recover from the loss of Kennedy, Johnson used it to his advantage. Many citizens did not notice that this was being done, and some even wonder if Johnson himself knew he was using it to his advantage. By him telling America that Kennedy would have wanted the Great Society, the people believed him and went through with it. Many things, both good an bad came out of the Great Society. The Great Society was Johnson’s way of fixing the problems in America, that being the political, emotional and mostly the social problems.…
