lasted decades but was only fully achieved through a plethora of civil disobedience acts, most notably the heads of the National Women’s Party (NWP) becoming political prisoners over their actions and the national uproar causing president Woodrow Wilson to back their cause. The…

Sidnie Bogle Main Causes of the United States Entering WW1 On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany, saying, “The world must be made safe for democracy” (President Woodrow Wilson’s War Message to Congress). World War One was a war fought between 1914 and 1918. The allies were Britain, France, Russia, Italy and the United States.

I think Woodrow Wilson was a powerful leader. He has done many things to make sure we stay out of war and how to end the war as well. As the president he earned the people’s respect and got them to trust in difficult times. Unfortunately, he was not in the condition to argue his Fourteen points to be in the Treaty of Versailles as much as he should, but he got a few points in the treaty. At the beginning of the war Wilson didn’t want America to be part of it. As the war went on, however, he was…

Fire Girl (Arnella) In the city of Boo York, there was this girl who was born with special power. But she kept it a secret from everyone, even her best friend.

How does one cope with this prohibiting lifestyle? Playwright August Wilson had experienced this very oppression during the Civil Rights Movement and started using theatre as his way of coping with his painful past. His plays were a way for him to address political topics, express his emotions, and do things he would never be able to do out in the “white man’s world.” Decades after the Civil Rights Movement, in 1990, August Wilson wrote one of his more noteworthy productions called The Piano…

President Woodrow Wilson was reluctant to enter America into a European war for very solid reasons that were selfish on the behalf of America’s own future security as a nation. President Wilson delayed his request for a declaration of war to allow for America’s own internal conflict to settle and for the American people to unite under “… a single way of thinking”.1 Since the first shots of World War I, President Wilson has made several small steps in support of Britain and France through…

announced its neutrality. President Wilson tried to mediate, recognizing the devastating effects of the War on the country. However, peacekeeping efforts were not successful, mainly due to the fact that both parties haven't lost the hope to win the decisive battle (“Launched”, n.p). Germany’s refusal to stop attacking merchant and passenger ships, the violation of the “Sussex Pledge”, the American outraged public, and the “Zimmerman Telegram” all pushed President Wilson to declare war in April…

President Wilson aimed to be neutral in the war. When the German U-Boats sank the British liner Lusitania in May 1915, carrying 128 US citizens abroad, President Wilson demanded that there would be an end to the attacks on passenger ships. Surprisingly, Germany complied. President Wilson also stated that the US will not tolerate unrestricted submarine warfare/attacking as this would violate human…

Teacher Burnout Mr. Michael Baker, a new teacher at Woodrow Wilson Senior High School, is faced with the conflicting decision of whether or not it is his place to “blow the whistle” on his co-teacher, mentor, and friend, Mr. Frank Thompson, who has failed to fulfill his teacher obligation of properly educating his history class. This situation can be damaging because although Mr. Thompson’s class is well-known for receiving the highest grades statewide, his students are not actually being…

While all the presidents worked to correct problems during the Progressive Era, Theodore Roosevelt was the most progressive president because he regulated big business, workers rights, and conservation of natural resources The Sherman Antitrust Act was a part of Roosevelt's work of regulating business. Roosevelt used this act when he criticized the wealth of Americans on the account of violence exploding into the public that could destroy the whole system. Roosevelt also used the Pure Food and…
