    The period between 1815 and 1825 was inaccurately dubbed the “Era of Good Feelings.” Despite the relatively low political opposition and boom of westward expansion and economy, bigger problems such as the economic bust as well as the differing beliefs of northern and southern states threatened the strength and unity of the nation during this time. After the war of 1812, the surge of nationalistic feelings took place, but, simultaneously, there were underlying forces of sectionalism.…

    In the years 1865 to 1900 the United States had flourished in their industry business, giving the era the rightful name of the Industrial Revolution.

    In 1643, there were four New England colonies who formed a confederation and they came up with the Articles of Confederation. In 1697, William Penn brought forth a plan of union which never was implemented. Last but not least in 1754, Benjamin Franklin came up with the Albany Plan of Union. “The history of colonial efforts to cooperate or unite demonstrates that the colonies had no strong or sustainable need for a common government.” All of those plans never went into effect but that doesn't mean that they didn't want to unite. In the following paragraphs I'm going to state why I think this statement is wrong by using documents A, B, and C.…

    Imagine you’re freezing and starving, your friends are all sick and dying, and on top of all that, you’re in the middle of a war. In the winter of 1777 and 1778, this was how George Washington and his troops lived. They spent a long winter in blistering cold weather and lived in poorly built huts. We had no shoes, food, or supplies in general. If you were in this situation and you had served your enlistment time, would you re-enlist and go back to these conditions? I personally did not re-enlist because there were harsh conditions, people were getting sick and dying, and we had no support or supplies from congress.…

    For instance, the strategic position of countries has been behind foreign policy decisions taken by the United States. Let’s go back to the Cold War, when tensions between NATO and the USSR where incredibly strong and the world was threatened by a nuclear-bomb war. During this period of time, the United States was part of a group of western allies called the NATO, which was supposedly interested only in winning the war against communism. To win the war both the NATO and the USSR established military bases near both Russia and The United States. Even thought NATOS’s interest was only winning the war, the United States’ wasn’t. The United States had national defense interests for resource possession, especially ones with great significance or uniqueness for the Cold War.…

    Union is power. Work in unity is better than working individually. That is why the British North Americans thought of confederation. An individual or single power will most likely have a hard time fighting against a group of people with lots of power. The colonies wanted to join together so that they could fight against the United States. If the groups of colonies didn’t join together, they wouldn’t have the power to prevent the United States from controlling all of North America. There is also other reasons for why the Confederation of 1867 happened, like the ending of BNA’s trade relations with Britian and the U.S., the Fenian Raids, Political deadlock, and the impact of “Manufast Destiny” as the main cause of Confederation.…

    German playwright Frank Wedekind famously said of monuments that they “... are for the living, not the dead.” A memorial does not serve any purpose for those it commemorates, rather, they educate and remind those that visit of the enshrined individual(s) or event. They also vary greatly in scope with one memorial being dedicated to the entirety of American forces in World War II while another could be dedicated to a single soldier. In the case of the George Rogers Clark National Historic Park, it serves as a historic site wherein a number of those involved with the Illinois campaign are memorialized in present day Vincennes, Indiana.…

    Truman’s quick and decisive action helped lead the United States to a victory that citizens will remember him for; not because he had the option to use new and destructive weapons without the consent of Congress, but because of his personal qualities that influenced this decision.Truman believed in hope and had so much love for this country—so much that he would take drastic measures to protect it when faced with a threat. These same qualities of hope and determination can be found in President John F. Kennedy as well. In “NPR Talk of the Nation,…

    One must think with a great deal of precision and infallibility when memorializing history. The creator should have a sense of where it will be placed, the size, significance, and the pros/cons of it. Any memorial is a stamp of history, because it outlines an important person or event. It has a chance of effecting people while appealing to their emotions in positive or negative way. So when an agency is considering memorializing an event or person in a monument one should have a feel of how it would affect the mass population.…
