Paper Abstract:
Analysis of the American Revolution and the Russian Revolution. Achievement of territorial sovereignty by the American Revolution. Ensuing economic and political problems. Revolutionary visions and the U.S. Constitution. The Russian Revolution's mobilization and transformation of a society. Affect on Russian infrastructure and global geopolitical system. Marx's social theory and Communist Manifesto. Factions.
Paper Introduction:
The impulse to revolution may reside in the felt need of a mass of people to respond to their experience of tyranny by declaring themselves sovereign. However, the revolutionary visions of those who transform their political situation may differ dramatically, with significant consequences. That was the case with the 18th-century American and 20th-century Russian revolutions.
In the American case, revolution guaranteed the new nation a significant degree of territorial sovereignty. The geographic isolation of North America from Europe fostered political isolation, which is partly why the taxation by the mother country was so onerously felt and so earnestly criticized in the Declaration of Independence. But isolation and independence had a double effect because they were successful. In the postwar period, United States economic structure could not be supported by the structure of confe

Paper Introduction:
The Radicalism of the American Revolution
Introduction
One of the more intriguing questions in the field of American history is this: How “radical” was the American Revolution? Historian George Wood believes that the true radicalism of the American Revolution lay in its destruction of an older hierarchical order, i.e., the monarchy, and the development of an entirely new set of normative social relationships that were not primarily dependency relationships, with people tied together by patronage, blood, and kinship. With few exceptions, Wood was for many years alone in his belief that the American Revolution was a very radical revolution indeed; many other historians saw the Revolution as an essentially conservative rejection not of monarchy per se, but of the immed

Paper Abstract:
Discusses their leadership styles. Contends that President Lincoln was a superior leader. Lincoln's possession of traits and qualities needed for success in a crisis such as the American Civil War; a statesman with a clear goal.

Paper Introduction:
The Leadership Styles of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis
Introduction
During the upheaval of the American Civil War, the Union and the Confederacy were lead by two very different men, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. History, it is generally recognized, tends to regard “winners” in any contest as superior to those who “lose” the contest. Such a valuation is, more often than not, based on sound and substantial evidence. In the case of Lincoln and Davis, this report will demonstrate that the former was a superior leader possessed of many of the traits and qualities needed for success in a crisis, while the latter (though a remarkable intellect and tactician) lacked some critical characteristics and attributes which could have improved his performance if not the outcome of the War.

Paper Abstract:
Examines how religious practice evolved in the English colonies. Colonists rejection of the single Christian community ideal of the Church of England. Massachusetts Bay Colony as a prototype for other New England colonies. Puritan ideals. Dissenters. Oppression of religious freedom. Witch trials. Formation of the Rhode Island Colony and religious tolerance.
Paper Introduction:
This research examines religion in English colonial life in North America. The research will set forth the context in which colonial religious practice evolved and then discuss the shape that it took prior to the American Revolution.
The fact that English colonial life in North America was in significant part a product of the impulse toward religious freedom unavailable in the mother country is difficult to overstate. The entire period of New World exploration was exactly contemporaneous with a tradition in English history of making religion a determinant of politics and vice versa. To the degree, as Becker says, Protestantism in England “was the result of a middle-class revolt against the existing regime” (81), there was bound to be little sympathy for the outmoded “ideal of a single Christian community” symbolized by the Church of England (Becker 48).

Paper Abstract:
Examines Union and Confederate attitudes towards the war. Information used from William Blair's "Virginia's Private War," and C. W. Wills' "Army Life of an Illinois Soldier." Discusses the individual torment of war & its affect on the soldiers, the enemy and civilians. What compelled Rebel sodiers to sacrifice their lives and health for their cause.
Paper Introduction:
TO PRESERVE THE UNION!
From a callow youth who joined the Union Army because, as he put it, it ‘beats clerkin’” (Willa 1996 vii), Charles Wills eventually rose in the ranks from recruit to commanding officer. He was not a typical “farm boy” but had gone to the university. Nevertheless, as one can see, he had promised to defend the Union, but he was ambivalent at best about the issue of slavery.
As the foreword states: “He (Wills) had gone to war solely to preserve the Union…” (p. ix) War is Hell, General Sherman was supposed to have said. In these pages, we discover the individual torment of war, how it affected the soldiers, as well as the enemy and the civilians they met along the way. In general, this book proves that war is a hellish way to mature. As one reads the pages from the initial boredom to the final disturbed and even dis

Madison's concept of a system of checks and balances. Anti-Federalist mistrust of republican form of government & a powerful central government.
Paper Introduction:
FEDERALISTS AND ANTIFEDERALISTS
In the early days of this nation, two sides attempted to put their ideas into action. Federalism is, more or less, a sharing of powers- with certain powers delegated to a central government, and those not so delegated, belong to the states that make up the federation.
Given that there are various types of Federalism, they should be defined. At the time the country was constitutionally organized, many people believed in Dual Federalism. “Dual Federalism originated in what may be called “the Rural Republic” immediately after the Constitution was adopted. This form “enumerated powers, sovereign and equal spheres” (Walker, 1995, p. 1). It was the beginning of a new government. At this early time, the federal government was limited. America had a basically rural e

Paper Abstract:
Argues tht Columus did not "discover" America since it was already inhabited by non-European human beings. Discusses Columbus' achievement as the first European to sail the Atlantic & bring European culture, religion & values to the land he discovered. His passion for discovery. His point of view that he and his men owned all they "discovered," & the existing inhabitants having no value as human beings. Contends that Columbus' discovery of America was a major element in the mythical, not actual, past of the nation.
Paper Introduction:
This study will argue that Christopher Columbus did not "discover" America, and that only by twisting reality can it be said that he or any European "discovered" a land which was already inhabited by other human beings. The basis of this twisting of reality is that the inhabitants of the "New World" were less than human beings, and therefore it cannot be said that the land was inhabited at all, but was instead populated by semi-humans, by near-animals, by non-Christian savages with no civilized qualities. In reality, however, the "Indians" Columbus "discovered" were indeed human beings with a subtle civilization and a fully developed religious belief system. Therefore, Columbus did not "discover America" because it had already been discovered and populated by human beings long before his arrival. He and his fellow arrogant and ethnocentric Europeans imagined

Paper Abstract:
Discusses radical aspects of the Revolution. Belief of many colonists in self-governance. Attempts to reach accommodation with the British Crown. British denial of colonists' demands for greater autonomy and other issues such as excessive taxes that led to Revolution. Radicals such as Sam Adams. Events leading up to the Declaration of Independence.
Paper Introduction:
How Revolutionary Was the American Revolution?
In the early 1770s, colonial America was gripped by various
tensions linked to increasing animosity between the colony and
the Crown. On March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre in which
British "redcoats" fired on a crowd of angry citizens and killed
five men took place. Though the Crown removed the British troops from Boston and convicted several of crowd endangerment or manslaughter, the Boston Massacre demonstrated that the patience of the colonials with respect to the perceived tyranny of the British was fast disappearing (Martin & Roberts, 1989).
It is the purpose of this essay to offer an answer to the question of “how revolutionary was the American Revolution. It will be argued herein that what began as an attempt on the part

Paper Abstract:
Discusses the European-American encounter of 1492. Questions whether celebration of Columbus Day should be changed to a different kind of commemoration as a means of making historical amends to Native Americans. Contends Columbus Day has lost its significance as the Columbus myth has proved to be false.
Paper Introduction:
The question of how to commemorate the European-American encounter that began in 1492 is controversial because it goes to the heart of the very nature of the country. Is the United States founded on the idealistic desire of Europeans to flee oppression in Europe to establish a new nation based on freedom and justice? Or is the United States founded by hypocrites who sought rights and liberties and opportunities for themselves which they failed to grant to others? These questions should be answered based on no considerations but the truth and historical accuracy. This would require radical changes in the way the United States celebrates the date and its meaning and significance, for the current commemoration is based on the Eurocentric lie that Christopher Columbus "discovered" a land which had long been inhabited by a well-developed civilization. A truth-based comme

Paper Abstract:
Patriot sentiment in the New York area. Long Island under Dutch rule of New Amsterdam. Annexation to New England. British rule. The Grenville Acts (Sugar Act, Stamp tax, Quartering Act). Townshend Acts and Colonial boycott. The Battle of Long Island, first major one of the Revolutionary War.
Paper Introduction:
This research examines conditions on Long Island, New York, on the eve of the American Revolution. The research will discuss how the currents of rebellion against England achieved importance in Long Island over the course of the 18th century. As well, reference will be made to the impact that the Revolution had on historical developments in the area.
From the time revolutionary sentiment began to overtake the British colonies, New York and the area of Long Island were at the center of the debate about going through with rebellion. Even before the time that Charles II authorized Richard Nicolls of the Royal Navy to recruit English militia and settlers from Connecticut and Long Island to appropriate New Amsterdam and New Netherland from the rather rigid administration of the Dutch East India Company under Peter Stuyvesant, the main preoccupations of area

Paper Abstract:
Discusses internal struggles. Three groups excluded from freedom, rights and power: African Americans, Native Americans and women. Slavery and conflict between blacks and whites. Actions of the British during the War. Restrictions upon women's politicization. Destruction of structures of Native American communities. Contends Colonists were hypocrites.
Paper Introduction:
The argument that "The American Revolution was simply about political freedom from Great Britain" is fallacious because it ignores other, significant, internal struggles for freedom and rights on the part of African Americans, Native Americans, and women. The argument may conform to the conventional view of the Revolution, but it ignores the complicated reality of American life at that time, in which these three groups were effectively excluded from the halls of power and freedom. There was much hypocrisy on the part of the white, wealthy, male leaders of the Revolution insofar as they rebelled against the oppression of the British while at the same time oppressing African Americans, women, and Native Americans.
With respect to the plight of African Americans at the time of the Revolutionary War, Frey makes clear that they were engaged

Paper Abstract:
Examines the 2 conflicting forces of fanatical belief (Puritans) & humanism & universal tolerance (Society of Friends). Overview of Quaker religious beliefs. Puritan intolerance.
Paper Introduction:
This paper is an examination of the role of members of the Society of Friends in the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692. The trials had their beginnings in 1691, the year that George Fox, founder of the Quaker movement, died. These two events suggest the worst and the best aspects of religious freedom in America. The trials show the dangers associated with unchecked, fanatical belief, while Fox's followers demonstrate the transcending power of humanism and universal tolerance. These two conflicting forces illustrate the very human need to find meaning and a sense of control in the face of fear, uncertainty, and mortality.
The religious order that grew to be known as Quakerism had its roots in the writings of an Englishman named George Fox. First published in 1647, Fox spoke of his sense of the "Christ

NORTH AND SOUTH AND THE COMING OF THE CIVIL WAR
Introduction
Between 1800 and 1861, the North and the South had become two different societies. This paper considers geography, economics, politics and governmental actions that led to the inevitability of the Civil War.
Background
From the implementation of the Constitution of the United States, States held the belief that they should be able to decide what type life they should live under state law in accordance with the wishes of the state's populace, and that the federal government should not interfere. There was more loyalty towards one's state than to the federal government. This was true for both those living in the North and in the South(Perman, 18).

Their purpose in urging ratification of U.S. Constitution. Focuses on 3 essays: 1 & 9 written by Alexander Hamilton & 10 written by James Madison.
Paper Introduction:
The Federalist Papers were written in order to urge the ratification of the United States Constitution and from the very first page these essays made it clear that the American people (or at least those who could vote) were being challenged by the authors to prove something not just about themselves and their new nation but about the potential of the human race as well. The essays were written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay and published anonymously in newspapers under the pseudonym Publius. Of the three essays considered here No. 1 and No. 9 were written by Hamilton and No. 10 was composed by Madison. But the challenge devised by Hamilton in the first essay reflected the general conception of humanity, or mankind, in their terms, that was shared by the authors. Hamilton delivered the challenge when he noted that it seemed to be the

SLAVERY AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF 1787
This research paper examines the relationship between the issue of slavery and the political decisions made at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The institution of slavery of blacks (African Americans) in the original colonies which made up the new union was left intact as a result of the Constitutional Convention and in some important respects its constitutional status was buttressed. At the same time, partial limitations were placed on its spread by the constitutional phased in abolition of the importation of slaves into the United States and the contemporaneous Congressional ban on its spread into the Northwest Territory. These seemingly contradictory political decisions arose out of the dynamics of the debates at the Constitutional Convention which reflected conflicts between

Paper Abstract:
Discusses expansion of U.S., American politics, national economy. Issues of Indian land, slavery.
Paper Introduction:
The expansion of the United States westward from 1763 to the Civil War was intimately intertwined in a number of ways with American politics and the national economy. Obviously, the massive expansion westward could not have been accomplished without the support of the political power of the government, and that expansion just as obviously and necessarily altered the economy of the nation. After all, economic gain was a major motivation for expansion, and it was inevitable that industry (railroads, towns, communication systems, etc.) would spring up as expansion took place.
The year 1763 is significant because on February 10th of that year the Treaty of Paris was signed. With that signing the Seven Years' War concluded, "France surrendered all of Canada to the British, and everything east of the Mississippi except New

Paper Abstract:
Southern intellectuals justiications based on physiological, racial, social, religioius, cultural & economic leveles. Argument that slavery was a more benevolent institution than Capitalism.
Paper Introduction:
In spite of the process of emancipation and criticism against slavery, the South hung onto slavery even after the Revolutionary Period (Moore 140). At first, they defended the institution of slavery as a necessary evil. However, in time, the South, through the voice of the intellectuals, wove an impressive web of justifications. It not only defended the institution, but extolled it as an ideal system to be emulated by all societies. In their complete embrace of slavery, these intellectuals justified the institution on several levels: physiological, racial, social, religious, cultural and economic.
By pointing out the physiological and racial differences from the whites, the doctors and scientists of the South played a large part in undermining the humanity of the slaves. This “knowledge” set the stage for the justification of the

Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
There is a popular conception regarding the cause of the Civil War, that the war was fought over the issue of slavery and that the North was battling to free the slaves. In fact, while there were some in the North who desperately wanted an end to slavery, this was not the primary cause of the war, nor was the abolition of slavery the primary purpose of the war from the northern point of view. Historians generally agree on this as they agree on many of the underlying reasons for the Civil War, reasons which were on the one hand economic, involving economic differences between North and South, and on the other political, with Abraham Lincoln pursing the war primarily to defend and protect the Union. During the course of the war, a certain number of slaves fought for the Confederacy whether from

Founding of the state; its role in founding of a U.S. Government & democratic rule.
Paper Introduction:
This paper is an account of the founding of the state of Maryland, the first colony in North America to attempt to create a government dictated by the will of the people. Established originally as a haven from religious persecution, Maryland went through its own growing pains in its early history. The colony played a significant role in the development of what would become the democratic experiment known as the United States of America.
In 1632, George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore, was given a land grant in the New World by Charles I of England for an area that eventually became the states of Maryland and Delaware. Calvert died before the charter could be issued that year, and the grant passed to his son, Cecilius, 2nd Baron, who organized an expedition the next year to establish a colony within the grant

Paper Introduction:
THE USE OF BLACKS IN THE SIEGE OF PETERSBURG
Although there had been numerous “colored” troops in the United States, their use was limited primarily to forces in the Union Army. However, as the war was drawing to a close during 1864-1865, there came a time, during the siege of Petersburg, that the South was considering their use.
Setting the Stage for the Siege
Strategically, Petersburg was a crucial site for the Southern Armies to defend, since the town was the center of critical railroad connections. General Lee, commanding the Southern forces knew the value of the town. If Petersburg fell, Richmond was doomed. The supply and armament advantage went to the Union forces, which were well supplied, thanks to Union Engineers who had run a supply train right behind the Union fron

Paper Abstract:
Early history of the state; conflicts witih Native Americans & other settlements; pre-Revolutionary ruling class; impact & aftermath of Revolutionary War.
Paper Introduction:
The history of Georgia involved a number of different settling groups until the time of the American Revolution, and while Georgia was then a part of the newly-created United States, that would cease for a time with the coming of the Civil War. Georgia from the first involved a clash between different cultures, first between the Native Americans and the Spanish, then between the Spanish and the English, with periods of conflict with the French as well. As Georgia developed as an entity, the people of Georgia kept largely to themselves, having little to do with the beginning of the American Revolution, though they fought in it and suffered for it as much as the other colonies. Conflict between groups continued, however, including conflict between Georgia and the United States itself.

Paper Abstract:
Looks at Howard Zinn's concept of history, racism in the U.S., gender roles, U.S. imperialism, capitalism and workers' movements, and the origins of the civil rights movement.
Paper Introduction:
Howard Zinn looks at the way history has been written and finds a high degree of conformity, with most American history beginning with a celebration of the conquest of the New World by Columbus. The emphasis is on heroic discovery, and this also involves highlighting the important characters like Columbus and either ignoring or downplaying their faults. Zinn finds that Samuel Eliot Morison, for instance, is too good a historian to ignore the truth completely, but he gives the unpleasant details no more than a mention and then passes on to something more in keeping with the emphasis on the hero and on progress.
Zinn makes the valuable point that history is generally written from the standpoint of the collective memory of the state. The state in this case is the American state, and it has been built by the white European settlers who conquered the Native

Paper Abstract:
Discusses intentions of Federalists & Anti-Federalist in the formation of the US constitution. Also reviews portions of the FEDERALIST PAPERS.
Paper Introduction:
The U.S. Constitution was constructed as a series of compromises between the two major factions involved in its writing, the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The framers of the Constitution feared the potential "mischiefs" of faction and designed a governmental system that would balance competing interests and prevent the ascension of any one faction. A given faction might gain control of one of the branches of government or one level of government, but this would not enable that faction to control the entire system or to create a tyranny over other factions. The Constitution embodied a series of checks and balances to prevent one faction from gaining ascendancy over others.
The overriding intent of the Framers was balance, to balance the rights of different groups, to balance the powers of the

Paper Abstract:
Compares the movie STAGECOACH to Frederick Jackson Turner's book THE FRONTIER IN AMERICAN HISTORY. Shows how Americans have been shaped by the frontier. Also looks at ways in which the idea of frontiers remains a prevalent part of American society.
Paper Introduction:
The frontier played an important part in American history, both as a reality and as an idea; it continues to do so today long after the frontier has disappeared. That disappearance was announced by Frederick Jackson Turner in his book The Frontier in American History, a book in which the author also discussed the significance of the frontier in American history. That significance is apparent in his book and in the film Stagecoach, a film which extols the virtues of those who battled the frontier, and which shows how the frontier helped shape American ideals and social attitudes. The image may be idealized in the film, but it is powerful and derives from real forces from the nineteenth century.
The fact that the frontier continues to play an important role in American life is evident in the way Americans seem to keep searc

Paper Abstract:
Argues that at various times each branch of the US government has been seen as imperialistic in regards to the other two -- even though they were designed to always be in balance.
Paper Introduction:
The Framers of the Constitution created a document in which three branches of government were described. The branches were set in a perpetual balance so that each would have some oversight over the other two, and thus prevent any one from gaining complete ascendancy. However, this balance has not remained the same at all times, and at different times critics of the way government is operating have described an imperial presidency, an imperial congress, and an imperial judiciary. The implication of this being in each case that one branch of government has developed so as to gain an unwarranted ascendancy over the other two, and to make use of its power to impose undesirable policies on the American people. Alexander Hamilton in The Federalist Papers stated that the Supreme Court would be the least likely to become an imperial body given that it would be gi

Paper Introduction:
The Frontier in American History
American history involves a mixture of histories, cultures, and national backgrounds brought together in what was truly the New World when it was discovered by European settlers. At the time, there were several Indian tribes in North America and the larger civilization of the Aztecs in South America. The settlers from Europe brought their culture with them, and they only broke away from that culture slowly over a period of time as they created something new. With the advent of slavery in the plantation economy of the South, blacks from Africa were brought to the Americas and introduced elements of their culture. These different forces mixed and interacted over time to become the underpinnings of American history and what would become a distinctive American culture.

Examines the philosophical & structural foundations of the Constitution. Special attention is given to the Constitution's authors & critics, to the ideas of Federalism & Anti-Federalism.
Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
The shape of the U.S. Constitution as it was developed at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia was certainly influenced by such factors as the colonial experience, the revolt against British rule, and the failure of the earlier Articles of Confederation. Yet, the ideas embodied in the Constitution had been taking shape for some time before any of these elements had come into being. Indeed, the ideas expressed in the Constitution derived from European theorists such as John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, though the manner in which these ideas were adopted by the colonists was influenced by the various elements of the colonial experience. The colonists had fled Europe precisely to avoid many of the legal features against which the Constitution would be written, such as

Paper Abstract:
Discusses the patterns & nature of Chinese immigration in 19th century America. Compares & contrasts this history with contemporary immigration issues.
Paper Introduction:
The Gold Rush in California after 1849 attracted people from all over America and from China. Many Chinese workers came before the Civil War to provide cheap labor for the building of the railroads. The system of immigration was made permanent with the National Origins Act of 1924, now based on the ethnic composition of the United States as reflected in the 1920 census, with entry limited to a small percentage of the number of people living in the U.S. (Takaki 7). The object of the law was also to favor certain kinds of immigrants and to keep out others. More immigrants were permitted from western Europe and fewer from southern and eastern Europe, and Asians were totally excluded, primarily to prohibit Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos from acquiring U.S. citizenship. These restrictions would be relaxed after World War II.

Paper Abstract:
Discusses reasons for popularity of book & summarizes major arguments, including Paine's distinction between society & government & reasons for opposition to the British.
Paper Introduction:
Thomas Paine's political declaration in his tract Common Sense struck a chord with the Americans of his time. The book was so popular that it went through fifty-six editions in the first year. The book was published anonymously in 1776, and the sentiments expressed in this work by Paine helped direct the energies of the rebels and point the way to American independence from England. What Paine did in this small book was to enunciate important principles of individual human rights and the specific right of the people to challenge unjust laws and an unjust government. If this message found a willing audience, it was because the people of the Americas were ready to hear this message rather than because the message itself broke through some reserve or presented something totally new. What Paine did was to gather together many of the intellectual currents of his time,
