    The misinterpretation and different views of what was stated in the Constitution contributed to the sectional discord, tension and failure of the Union. The Constitution was written almost a century before all these problems occurred, they could not have foreseen such issues back then. Although the Constitution was written very well for that time period, it does unfortunately contribute to the failing of the Union.…

    Jackson’s followers were common men who believed in the rights for the lower and working classes, strict interpretation of the constitution,and democracy instead of a republic. Many of his followers were inspired when Jackson rose from little education and social opportunity and took President, and they knew he would protect their rights and fight for the “Common man ,” instead of the elite. Supporters and followers of Andrew Jackson believed they were the guardians of the Constitution and political democracy, however they failed to establish equal opportunity for women, blacks, or native Americans, and they overlooked key issues such as the national bank because they felt it threatened the democratic society.…

    In the timespan of 1860, the beginning of the Civil War, to 1877, the end of Reconstruction, many social and constitutional developments took place. Such developments included secession of the south, disputes over civil liberties such as voting, the ending of slavery, and the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. These expansions were very revolutionary to an extent but due to the intrusion of white supremacist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, couldn’t fully prosper.…

    The end of the Revolutionary War brought about many changes in America. The abandonment of the colonizers by the British government left them with many new dilemmas. They had to basically start new societies from scratch. They had to figure out what type of governing system they would have, and what kind of society they would become. According to the information presented in historical documents about Wethersfield, Connecticut, as well as my own outside knowledge, American society became more democratic from the 1750's to 1780's in terms of property distribution, social structure, politics, and religion. Social distinctions between classes of people throughout America in general decreased, and in Wethersfield people had more equal rights.…

    It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. This Charles Dickens quote perfectly encapsulates all that was the inspiring, yet politically charged year of 1968. The revolution that occurred was not strictly political, however, and young college students strived to make social statements with “sex, drugs, and rock and roll”. The assassinations of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Kennedy also occurred in the same bittersweet year, as well as widespread riots leading to violent takeovers of college campuses, the 1968 Democratic Convention riot, outbursts by the Black Panthers, including a black power salute at the 1968 Olympic games that got the champions disqualified, anti-war protests, and Yippies. Overall, 1968 was a critical turning point in youth movements, political regimes, black civil rights, and the Vietnam War.…

    In the late 1800s, many farmers were trapped in a vicious economic cycle. Crops prices began falling and farmers were often forced into mortgaging their farms so they could buy more land and produce more crops to break even. Good farming land was becoming rare and the banks took over the mortgages of farmers who couldn't make payments on their loans. The railroads, on the other end, took advantage of farmers by charging them extreme prices for shipping and storage. Both equally frustrating the farmer, who pretty much resembled a larger economic problem because if he wasn't doing well then the whole nation can’t do well either.…

    Farmers everywhere in the United States during the late nineteenth century had valid reasons to complaint against the economy because the farmers were constantly being taken advantage of by the railroad companies and banks. All farmers faced similar problems and for one thing, farmers were starting to become a minority within the American society. In the late nineteenth century, industrialization was in the spotlight creating big businesses and capitals. The success of industrialization put agriculture and farmers on the down low, allowing the corporations to overtake the farmers. Since the government itself; such as the Republican Party was also pro-business during this time, they could have cared less about the farmers.…
