Lincoln Would Have Changed the Face of Civil Rights
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page piece that postulates that if Abraham Lincoln had lived, his Reconstruction policies may have changed the course of African American history. Lincoln had already penned his notes on Reconstruction that Andrew Johnson implemented. However, Johnson, sympathetic to the South, did not subscribe to Lincoln's tenets of 'equal rights' for all. As a result, freed African Americans continued to suffer under the hands of their former owners. According to historians, Lincoln would have used any extreme, including force and marshall law to bring about equality for all, as supported by his writings. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Manifest Destiny and American Imperialism:
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the concept of “manifest destiny” that is best described or explained as the concept that it was the obligation of the founders of the United States, the “new” Americans, to expand their territory into as many regions of North America as possible regardless of the indigenous people already inhabiting the land or settlers originally from Mexico. Manifest destiny was one of the major motivations for American western expansion and one of the primary causes of the U.S.-Mexican War. Many, if not most, Americans believed that they had a God-given right to the land to the west of their already established borders. Later in the century, the US expansionist desires arose because of a powerful industrial economy that wanted control of new lands in the Pacific and Caribbean. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
