America In The 1840's: Transition To A Strongly Pro-Democratic And Pro-Party Regime
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The United States began as a nation without parties and with a limited dedication to democratic ideals. Examining why by the 1840s America developed into a strongly pro-democratic and pro-party regime finds one focusing upon personal agenda and the pangs of national growth as viable explanations of such a drastic transition. The extent to which this modification fit in with original Constitutional designs was questionable at best, particularly with regard to that which espoused consensual rather than majoritarian arrangements.

America: Shaped by Pre-history
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the ways in which the first to arrive in America between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago have served to shape today’s American civilization and national culture. The paper discusses the resolve that they certainly must have had in leaving everything known for everything unknown, then using in the new places only those things available to them in the new environment. Asian cultures are enigmatic in their reverence for their ancestors, and it remains a fact that Westerners often dismiss. Ancestry does direct the paths of the future, however. Our pre-history, Renaissance and colonial ancestry well serves the world’s only “mongrel” country, one made up of many ancestral strains, all of which have proven to represent magnificent stock. The paper also includes a discussion of American reaction to Pearl Harbor and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

American Dream in L.A.
[ send me this paper ]
In the fifties, the 'age of suburbia', the American dream was epitomized by the ability to own a home, live in safety and in a community of like minded souls. The great exodus from the cities to the suburbs defined the American idea of 'the good life'. This 5 page paper suggests that while the belief in the American Dream is closely aligned to the growth and popularity of suburbs, Los Angeles is a perfect example of how suburbs were the precursor to a geographical division based on race and class. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

American Foreign Policy in Asia 1850-1950
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper tracing US involvement in Asia during this 100-year period. By 1950, the US was wary of the new communist government on mainland China, but it maintained the position as a benevolent protector of Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines, which promised strategic positioning. The US represented a largely silent threat to dictatorial forces in Asia, a force that promised to lie dormant unless there was need for it to arise. With the memory of World War II so very fresh, none of the more oppressive forces in Asia doubted that the US would act if it believed action to be necessary. Bibliography lists 1 source.

American History Defines Progress - 1867 -1909
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) In the last portion of the nineteenth
century Americans progressed at an uneven gait.
In the West, men took giant steps across the
country as they explored and claimed land;
often walking over others such as the Native
Peoples in the process. These same men "brought
their" women with them through incredible
difficulties, but then saw no reason to give them
any political allowances. Children were "owned"
as much as women were. Racial differences,
although somewhat equal on paper made little
progress. In the East labor and management
systems, political patronage, and social reform
began to demand attention, and progressive
attention.
