While framing the new South Carolina constitution in 1868, black teacher and politician F.L. Cardozo argued that “…[w]e know that when the old aristocracy and ruling power this State get into power, as they undoubtedly will….they will never pass such a law as [compulsory school attendance]. Why? Because their power is built on and sustained by ignorance. They will take precious good care…

There was three plans for Reconstruction. The three plans were Lincoln’s plan, Johnson’s plan and the Radical Republican plan. Lincoln’s plan was considered simple due to his offering to Confederates to be sworn allegiance to the union. Johnson’s plan was lenient to the southern states due to him granting loyalty to the United States, and the Radical plan was to help the newly freed slaves and to punish the South for what they done. Lincoln’s plan was simple, he offered pardons…

The political realignment of this time period is what has led to the modern associations with the Republican and Democratic parties. The main source which allowed for the political realignment was the rise of independent voters as this allowed the breaking of loyal voters and political bonds which lead to a reforming of these two parties into the…

Slavery of Africans has been brewing up since the early 1600’s. The first African slaves were brought To Jamestown, Virginia to help with the growth and production of crops. Slavery continued to be practiced and African slaves eventually helped build the foundation of the new nation. It wasn’t until the early 1800’s that slavery became an issue between the southern and northern territories. There were several abolitionist and antislavery people who wanted slavery to end and to be abolished. One…

on the other hand, led by Thomas Jefferson, held views that were exactly the opposite of those of the Federalists. The Republicans favored strong state governments, rule by the common man, no national bank, and an alliance with the French. This stark contrast made disaccord inevitable, and feelings of sectionalism arose. The majority of the South tended to support the Republicans, while the Federalists gained most of their following from the North. While these two political parties weren’t long…

subject, however, it seems they can’t agree. The men have two different buttons pinned to their chests, which represents the Democratic and the Republican parties, both of which have different strong feelings on the issue of gun violence. The Democrats seem to think that the guns are the problem with today's society issues that involve gun violence. The Republicans, on the other hand, seem to believe that terrorists are the…

representative form of government. The Founding Fathers were fighting for separation from the Crown, and today they would be shocked to see how far Americans have come in creating a democracy based on individual rights and freedoms. The effects of this radical thinking were evident in most of the thirteen colonies, but in Pennsylvania they were extremely apparent as the colony first underwent an internal revolution and then committed to fighting for American Independence. In the early 1760’s…

stances of each candidate they appear to be on both far ends of the spectrum but in each category (republican and democrat) certain individuals appear to be closer to the middle. Some believe this theory is becoming obsolete but I would have to disagree.
