As the boycott on importing British goods began to sweep across the southern colonies reliance on American instead of British products, on homespun garments rather than imported attires, became a mark of American defiance. In the colonists’ view, the resistance caused a virtuous spirit of altruism as compared with the self-indulgence and luxury many Americans were coming to correlate with Britain, which resulted in separation from the colonists and the…
These two sources, in their attempts to differentiate each other and denounce the subject of their respective cartoons, produce a remarkable amount of parallels, as well as a few important differences. For similarities, the leading theme for both of the cartoons is that the opposing party’s candidate is a militarist warmonger. In Source A, this is demonstrated by portraying Democrat candidate Lewis Cass as a warlike automaton, composed of various cannons, bombs, and swords. The phrases “A WAR PRESIDENT” and “PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY” are stamped in bold letters on the page, clearly documenting the candidate’s flaws: under the guise of liberty and progressiveness, he would declare wars which would not benefit the American people as a whole. He…
The view of the world was altered through the Scientific Revolution’s intellectual developments. Ideas were proposed to Europeans offering a different way of understanding through logical thinking and scientific methods. Conflicts occurred due to the interference of philosophers’ theories and religion’s teachings. Although theology remained to be valued and well respected, the works of scientists during the sixteenth and seventeenth century were influenced by the authority of the church, as well as the support of political and religious leaders. In addition, the common lack of knowledge impacted passionate scientists throughout the era.…
The whole conflict between the colonies and the mother nature was almost absolutely rooted in economics. In this time period, England was trying its hardest to get money they so desperately needed after the French and Indian war. They were so deep in debt that they decided it was necessary to put tax upon tax on their American colonies. In document H, we can see there the American colonists setting fire to a certain individual, who is more than likely the representation of either America or the king, with certain acts such as the Quebec Bill, the Boston Port bill, and Massachusettes Bay. They used these certain events to help stoke the fire because these acts were heavily enforced on the colonies.…
Chamberlain knew that in order to win the war with Hitler he needed the people support a hundred percent and he need support from World War I allied countries like United States and Canada. If chamberlain had declare war on Germany in 1938, it would have been devastated because Britain population did not war a second war and it would have no reason for United States and Dominions countries to join Britain and Britain would have been fighting the German alone. According to the press conference, President Roosevelt told reporter that United States would have not support Britain and France in war against over Czechoslovakia (Dyck B, pg.14). As well as Dominions countries were unable to support the war to defend Czechoslovakia. Chamberlain brilliant…
Relations between Britain and the colonists began to worsen as more and more taxes were being introduced. Parliament thought that their recent land acquisition justified their actions, but the colonists did not agree especially because they believed in no taxation without representation. During this period, there was much more organization amongst the colonists, which is evident though the formation of the Sons of Liberty. Through rebellions and boycotts such as the Boston Tea Party and the Boston Massacre, the colonist’s unification gave them the confidence they needed to fight for their rights. These events began to shape the emergence of a new idea, republicanism, which was a designated “form of government in which the leader is periodically…
By the 1850s, the two parties system was in crisis because moderate compromises such as the Missouri Compromise in 1820s by the “great pacificator,” Henry Clay of Kentucky could no longer appease both sides’ extreme radicals, as the territories kept getting westward expanded and ordained by the doctrine of Manifest Destiny. (Brands, p.295) The next generation of Congressmen such as Wilmot Proviso’s argument and Lewis Cass’s “Popular Sovereignty” failed to forge compromises over the Republican’s “slave–power conspiracy” and the Democrat’s “southern rights” as the Mexican War drew to a close. (Brands, p. 313) Especially, in January 1854, Senator Stephen Douglas’ introduction of the Kansas-Nebraska Act on the base of “Popular Sovereignty” to repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820 in order to bring about the railroad to go through his home state in support of expansion and commerce was a major disaster. Accordingly, Douglas’ bill further worsened on the irreconcilable sectional division in his own Democratic Party, gave birth to the new Republican…

the beginning to the middle of the 20th century, global conflicts impacted many citizens throughout the world. Global conflicts changed from the beginning to the middle century due to Militarism and Alliances, but remained similar in Imperialism. One big changes that happen in the beginning to the middle of 20th century is militarism because of advanced weapons and new tactics. An example is on document F, when the text says “The equipment for the build-up alone included 6,000 machine guns, 2000 pieces of artillery, 595 tanks, and 150 aircraft.…
When considered within the context of the weak Articles of Confederation, the political divide between those who wanted a strong central government and those who wanted a weak central government played a key role in the 1780s in the United States. However, this disunity was not a crisis, but a catalyst for a debate and conversation that would center around the political ethos of the country. Many philosophies came out of this new conversation, with the most polarizing one being Federalism. Many of these new ideas would take center stage in Philadelphia at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which was necessitated by this ideological split. Compromise between both sides of the debate allowed the Constitution to be completed and later ratified by all of the states in 1789, as there were aspects of the new American government that satisfied both the framers and the states.…
DBQ The Progressive Era, 1900-1920, can be defined as a reform movement aimed toward urban and social change through improvements in the nation. This era stemmed from American industrialization and a population growth. Also, the Progressive Era emerged from past movements such as abolitionism, women’ rights, temperance, and the regulation of big businesses. Some of the main goals of the progressives included breaking trusts, ending political reform, bettering living conditions, and establishing voting reforms as well as banking reforms.…
Road to Revolution The American Colonies were justified in waging war and breaking away from Britain because of the unconstitutional laws placed on them by the British Parliament; as well as the tyrannical rule the Britain enforced over them. The American colonialists had every right to rebel against Britain because of the unconstitutional laws being enforced over them by said Parliament. The Stamp Act was a law passed by the British Parliament on the Colonies in 1765 which required a tax to be paid for the approval of any printed and sold document; such as: newspapers, playing cards, legal documents, posters, etc.…

For three horrifying years between 1348 to 1350 the Black Death pushed medieval men to the brink of an apocalypse. The living expected only death. In addition, the graveyards were choked with corpses. During this time, the world was filled with horror, and seemingly abandoned by God. From Italy to Ireland, half of the population died, which was about 20 million people.…
