    Voices of Protest: Huey Long, Father Coughlin & the Great Depression, written by historian Alan Brinkley, offers a compelling and intriguing voice to the already existing debate surrounding Huey Long and Father Coughlin. Both historical figures lived during the time of the Great Depression and, as argued by Brinkley, were important in the politics of the New Deal. Huey Long, nicknamed “the Kingfish,” was the governor and state senator of Louisiana who wielded power in the state so profoundly that popular characterizations of Long compare him to a “dictator” (p. x). Father Coughlin, a Roman Catholic priest, is best remembered for using the radio to spread his political beliefs. Coughlin can be termed an extremist during this period off time, specifically because he was an outspoken anti-Semite, as well as an admirer of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler (p. x).…

    8 – 10 (Did Columbus Kill Most of the Indians?) explains how the quincentenary of Columbus’ voyage to America elicited large amounts of controversy regarding the exact amount of native deaths that Columbus and his crew were responsible for by “discovering” America. S&A claim multiple resources state that the estimated 100 million population of Native Americans in 1492 was grossly overestimated, instead falling below 53 million, rendering the contemporary claim of up to 56 million native deaths (itself calculated with questionable methods) due to Columbus’ endeavors impossible. S&A then claim that the 53 million estimate is too high, stating that the environments of North and Central America could only support around 20 million people, not adjusted for inter-tribal warfare fatalities or disease deaths from pathogens already present in the New…

    For a species to survive and thrive there is a need for expansion and a growth in its population, those who survive become the dominant, shaping the world around it. In the readings “Lies My Teacher Told” Meby James Lowen and “Brutal Appetites from The Making of Mexican Culture in Frontier California” by Douglas Monroy, the prominent fact throughout each is history is written by the winner. From colonies finding the new world to World War II, those who were declared the loser were cemented into history books with that title. Each reading delves into the history we are not told in the classroom, and if the topic is touched on, it has a varied portrayal of one party and heavily praising the other. In the reading “Lies My Teacher Told” Meby James Lowen, he touches on the true history of the Native Americans and how they were a truer more realistic people than portrayed in the history books.…

    (9-15) For Cronon, it is less about how drastic the changes were then about what the changes were. Soil exhaustion and erosion, the reduction of and changing of tree species, the emergence of fences, foreign livestock, and the dominance of foreign grasses and pests points the blame squarely at the feet of the European capitalist. He concedes the fact that nature evolves and changes on its own. The author also argues that the indigenous population manipulated their environment for their own purposes, yet that the crux of my one major critique with Changes in the Land. Cronon’s presentation of the Native American’s relationship with their environment is never isolated from the European perspective and therefore always influenced by it.…

    In 1893, a historian from Wisconsin, named Frederick Douglass Turner read his essay entitled, “The Significance of the Frontier in American History,” at the world Columbian exposition in Chicago. This essay redefined history not just as a political narrative, but as the growth of the Western frontier. Turner makes the argument that, “American history is the history of the colonization of the Great West.” (Hollitz, 176). I, like Turner, believe that the expansion of the frontier helped mold America’s defining attributes of independence, diversity, and democracy.…

What began as childhood escapism, however, has since taken on greater importance in my mind. It has been said, I believe quite rightly, that baseball is a microcosm of America’s successes and contradictions. It’s a symbol of egalitarianism, national pride, and unity with a troubled history of racism, fraud, and violence.…
