There were many hard fought battles in the Civil War. But, arguably the biggest battle the United States went through, was the Reconstruction of the Civil War. The North may have won the war, but the South got their fair share of victory during reconstruction. The South did everything in their power to make sure “equality” was only preserved for the white man even though slavery was abolished. Once a black man was considered a free slaved, the South would not try to accept change, rather, they…

Throughout my life, I have not only learned, but also experienced racism, discrimination, and prejudice against minorities, specifically African Americans. I have observed throughout time that there really has always been a need for improvement on a federal level of racial equality throughout the United States. Therefore, I will utilize this paper to reflect on my own experiences and also several of the readings, including Gilens’ Why Americans Hate Welfare, Hutchings’ article on racism after…

The 1990s began with the presidential campaigns of Bill Clinton, George Bush and Ross Perot. The 2 questions we have to ask is how a sitting president with an 80% approval rating in 1990 lost the election 2 years later and what caused the right to left political shift. Republican’s seemed slightly lost after the Persian Gulf War and were leaning to a more conservation right. With no major foreign affairs to focus on all eyes were on the economy. George bush then uttered those 6 famous words…

The U.S government has three branches, the legislative, executive, and judicial. All three branches have their own powers and responsibilities. Each branch has to work with each other to make sure that the peoples’ rights are protected and the government is functional. The House and Senate make up the legislative branch and together they make up the Congress. The legislative branch creates all laws, controls foreign commerce and interstate, taxing and spending policies, and declares war. The…

the attacks, everything changed. The US became much strict in its search for and elimination of terrorism, both within the country and around the world. The events also brought the country together, but at the same time separated the country into parties and groups. We also wanted to spread democracy to prevent the spread and start of terrorism. The terrorist attacks on 9/11 affected American politics by consequently allowing the government more…

How To Be “The Donald” Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hold the highest office in our land? The prestige, the honor, and the respect that comes with the job is what 43 men have had the chance to experience. And, this year, it was explicit that our nation would have the first women president to take the oath of the presidency. But, there is one orange, beautifully haired man, who refuses to let this transpire and is leading the charge to the democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton…

Propaganda, a collection of information in a misleading nature, it is used to publicize political thoughts. This is what Hitler did not realize during World War II. Even though one may say his war tactics started the Nazi Party, Hitler would not have gained control without a form of advertising. Hitler may have used the Brownshirts to start his regime, but Joseph Goebbels was his primary help when trying to get people to follow him. With the start of the Brownshirts, Joseph Goebbels’ help, and…

So why kill one another when each of us is unique in our own way The main reason why I think this superfluous war took place is because of the famous crazy head, Adolf Hitler. “Adolf Hitler was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party”. Hitler hated the Jews, as he…

On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed into effect the Emancipation Proclamation, the immortal document that ended the tragedy of American slavery forever. This legislation allowed America to finally live out its traditional values of liberty and equality for all and signalled the apex of forward movement and social mobility in the U.S. Once the Civil War had come to a close in May 1865, the terms of the Emancipation Proclamation finally revealed themselves fully to all…

still raw after the surrender of the South in the Civil War. The thought of the federal government passing an amendment to let African Americans vote so soon after they had abolished slavery was shocking to a man that had helped found the Republican Party. This highlights how revolutionary the 15th Amendment was. The constitutional revolution continued without the approval of Welles and many others, and in 1870, the 15th Amendment was officially passed. In a cartoon by A.R. Ward on the cover of…
