    In America, many people could own land. Most Europeans wanted land for farms to make a living and settle their children. The father’s responsibility was to provide the children of money, land, and property. The parents that could not afford land for their children contracted them for indentured servitude. After the children were released from servitude, they had to go up the social ladder to become a freeholder.…

    There are two types of people in this story. They are the conquerors and the conquered. The communities that Zinn talks about in the story are the Native Americans and the English settlers that came to America. Out of those communities the conquerors were the English settlers and the conquered were the Native Americans. These two communities had similar and different views on topics. One thing that the two viewed differently was how they viewed the land. The Native Americans believed that the land did not belong to one single person, rather they believed that the land belonged to a whole tribe. The English settlers did not feel the same way. The settlers believed that each individual person had the opportunity to own his own land and that he may do whatever he wants to with it. Another difference the two communities had was their views on religion. The Native Americans did not believe in religion. They believed that there was a type of spiritual force that controlled the land. The English settlers did believe in religion. They worshipped gods and executed religious practices. The two groups did have some similarities though. One similarity was language. The two groups both used…

    The chapter starts out by describing Bacon’s Rebellion, using it as an example of unrest between social classes in the late 1600’s. While the rebellion isn’t described in great detail, it describes how slaves and servants joined together behind Bacon to fight what they considered a common enemy, the white upper class. After Bacon’s death, the rebellion didn’t last long, and a man named Thomas Grantham used “force and deception to disarm the last rebel forces”. When the rebellion ends, the servants who stood behind Bacon became part of the underclass, a group of poor whites, and many were indentured to go to America. The conditions on the voyage were horrendous, paralleling those on ships transporting slaves. Once they arrived, the servants were treated as slaves; beaten, whipped, and given hardly any rights. The upper class gained all the benefits and dominated the political world in America. This unfair treatment between social classes caused several uprisings, and then the Indians began to show hostility, posing more problems. The new concern was whether the lower class would join forces with the Indians and unite against the upper class white people, which would be a serious threat, just like in Bacon’s Rebellion. By the late 1700’s, this problem was solved by buying the loyalty of the lower classes with liberty and equality.…

    Shaina Fober Although political divisions first emerged over domestic issues, they deepened during a series of crises over foreign policy that reopened the troublesome issue of America’s relationship with Great Britain. Domestic and foreign policy were, however, never entirely separate, since decisions in one area frequently carried implications for the other. Foreign and domestic policy (1789-1803) spans from the foreign affairs of Washington, to Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase. Between these times is the Election of 1796, Adams’s administration, concerning a variety of perspectives of historical figures on financial policies and foreign countries, such as the Alien Act and Louisiana Purchase Treaty, were all in relation to the restrictions and powers of…

    Turner’s thesis discussed the significance of the frontier and how it embodied what America was all about at the time; he argued that the frontier brought out raw survival instincts and embellished nationalism, independence, and democracy. Turner’s new viewpoint was revolutionary for its time because most historians thought with an Atlantic Coast bias, believing that the East, especially New England, was the true heart of American culture and that that culture traced back to English political institutions. Turner, a rural Wisconsin native, had been unaffected by this general bias and strongly believed that the narrow perspective of 19th century Eastern-American historians neglected the broader contours of social, cultural, and economic history that had shaped American…

    Whether you are an officer flying above enemy territory in an assault helicopter, or a news reporter covering the story of a military attack, the POV, or point of view, from which an event is experienced determines to a large degree how the story is told. With a situation as controversial at the Vietnam War, it is no surprise that there were rarely consistent perspectives on the events taking place in Vietnam. Of course, is it simply human nature to skew situations or events to represent them in your favor, however, when it comes to fatal battles being fought between two world countries, it is important that the situations are represented as accurately as possible. The world deserves to be able to formulate their opinions regarding an event such as the Vietnam War, and in order to do that properly, an accurate, consistent, truthful “POV” is necessary.…

    Put forth by historian Frederick Jackson Turner in his paper, “The Significance of the Frontier in American History,” his thesis asserted that the existence of a frontier and its settlement had shaped American character; given rise to individualism, independence, and self-confidence; and fostered the American spirit of invention and adaptation. Later historians, especially a group of “New Western Historians,” modified the thesis by stating the environmental and other consequences of frontier settlement, the role of the federal government in peopling the arid West, and the clash of races and cultures that took place on the frontier.…

    Three things that I have learned about in American History that I believe have had a huge impact on making America what it is today are the new technology created in WWI. The 1920’s like the women and how they acted, and how that essentially shaped how women are treated and are able to act today. Last but not least, the Great Depression, and how a failing economy in the 1930’s could be fixed just the same as 2008.…

    “American History X” is a movie that depicts the life of a young white supremacist named Derek Vinyard and his younger brother Danny. Growing up in the suburban area of California, the boys are faced with many ethnic backgrounds and cultural differences. When their father, a fireman, is shot and killed by a black man Derek strives for white supremacy in his small area. Following the most infamous leader and supporter of white supremacy in southern California, Cameron, Derek creates a following of “Skin heads” that include his younger brother Danny. The story follows the life of both Derek and Danny as Danny examines the life events that have shaped his families life. Through “American History X”, the viewer is exposed to many social psychological principles including racism, aggression, violence, conformity/social influence, stereotyping, prejudice and conformation bias just to name a few. Most frequently I saw in many scenes conformation bias and stereotyping being implemented.…
