Baseball During The American Civil War
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Baseball during the American Civil War represented everything that the war did not: It was a way in which soldiers and ranking commanders could return being just men as much as it was critical time spent regaining one's mental and emotional balance amidst overwhelming conflict. Albert Doubleday – a name synonymous with baseball – was a Civil War General who, historians have determined, was not the original founder of America's most popular sporting game. That notwithstanding, Doubleday's involvement in baseball's Civil War presence is what has come to represent the start of a national tradition. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Being White in America in the 19th Century
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper using Michael Moore’s philosophy of fear in America as presented in his film, “Bowling for Columbine” to define what it meant to be white in the 19th century. The overall effect of the subtleties of fear in the Victorian era; murder of Native Americans in the West; virtual enslavement in Northeastern sweatshops; and the pressures of race relations in the South combined to give whites the appearance of being superior without in actuality being superior at all. Being white in America in the 19th century brought the greatest chance of achieving economic success, but translated into living a life of fear in which there was danger lurking around every corner.
