Robert E. Lee's Loyalty to the South
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing Robert E. Lee's motivations for declining President Lincoln's offer of command of the Union army at the outbreak of the Civil War. There is no question that Robert E. Lee was a master of military strategy and that he was a man of the Southern tradition of honor. That he would cast his lot with the South rather than to be disloyal to his native Virginia is testament to the depth of his commitment. Lee knew going into the war and upon resigning his commission with the US army that he was joining a losing proposition, but he chose what appeared to him to be the side of personal honor, rather than that of political loyalty.

Slavery and the Capitalistic Premise of the United States
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the importance of the institution of slavery to capitalism. In the U.S., however, the issues surrounding slavery lasted long past the time where the institution was becoming extinct in other regions of the world. This long life can be attributed to the relative age of the U.S. during the time when we most depended on slavery and the extent of the resources which we had at our disposal. Effective utilization of these resources demanded that we rely on the institution of slavery. The contention is presented that whites in both the north and the south recognized this dependence and even at the time preceding the civil war northern whites were largely in support of slavery as long as it didn’t expand past those regions in which it was already ingrained.
