Paper Abstract: Examines how the theme of pride has been used in literature by examining the collected works of Benjamin Franklin, Nathaniel Hawthorne's YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN, & Kate Chopin's STORY OF AN HOUR & THE AWAKENING.
Paper Introduction: American Pride
Pride is not simply an American trait but is rather a human emotion, and as such it can be for good or ill. There is a saying that "pride goeth before a fall," for pride is one of the seven deadly sins. Pride can also be justified, however, but only if it is not excessive. It need not lead to one's downfall but can instead be evidence of accomplishment. In the American character, the emotion of pride derives from the combination of the success in creating what has been perceived as being a new and free nation and the exuberance that this success engenders. At the same time, there has been a tension between pride and the religious strictures against that emotion, beginning in the Calvinist era and continuing as a strain in the Protestant ethic that has been a key theme in American life ever since. In fact,

Paper Abstract: Examines reasons why indentured servants, Native Americans & slaves did not unite & rebel in British colonies, while oppressed groups in Latin America did rebel.
Paper Introduction: Indentured servants, Native Americans, and African slaves did not join together to overthrow the oligarchy that ruled over the thirteen British colonies in the seventeenth century even though there were large numbers of people in each group and they seemed to hold many goals in common. There were many reasons why such a large-scale revolt never took place: the three groups did not often have a language in common; the government of the colonies (and the government of Britain) were well-organized and armed; there was nowhere for people in revolt against the system to flee if they could not seize control; there was relatively little contact among the groups in many areas; and, if successful, these groups would have had to defend themselves against outside forces while engaged in the very difficult struggle to feed, house, and cloth themselves in an alien

Paper Abstract: Analyzes 1692 trials in Massachusetts Bay Colony as & underlying moral, religious & political motivations.
Paper Introduction: This research will examine the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 in Massachusetts Bay Colony and set forth evidence from contemporaneous sources that they were politically motivated.
It is a commonplace of prerevolution American history that the Salem witch trials and executions of 1692 were an aberration of the general tendency toward shaping society in line with ideas of personal and political liberty. But that line of thought ignores the complexities of creating a new civil society in the wilderness. Further, it ignores the fact that those who built that society, namely Massachusetts Bay, were amalgams of their personal and group history in England. As matters turned out, by 1792 Massachusetts had achieved a political reputation associated with political radicalism and a progressive, liberal republican government. However, the evidence of the Salem trials and hangi

Paper Abstract: Examines sociocultural realities of Virginia (18th Cent.) & Rochester, NY (19th Cent.), focusing on evagelical, revival movements.
Paper Introduction:
The Great Awakenings in Virginia and Rochester
American religious history has been marked by recurrent episodes of Protestant revivalism, some local, some widespread. Two of the later, in the first halves of the 18th and 19th centuries respectively, were so widespread as to have been given historical names, the First and Second Great Awakenings. (Some present-day evangelicals speak of a Third Great Awakening in recent times.) The social conditions surrounding the spread of the first two Great Awakenings varied widely from region to region. This essay concerns the circumstances of the first in Virginia and the second in Rochester, New York; it will be found that the wave of revivalism in Virginia is more difficult to

Paper Abstract: Examines spread of diseases after Columbus (focusing on effects of smallpox), Pre-Columbian Indian health & medicine, diseases in Europe (focusing on the plague).
Paper Introduction: INTRODUCTION
The 500th anniversary of the first voyage of Columbus to the New World came in 1992, and this event was an occasion for celebration in both Europe and the Americas. It was also the occasion for much bitterness and anger by revisionists who wanted to downgrade the achievement of Columbus because of a perception that his discovery of America in the long run caused more harm than good. One thing that is wrong with the revisionist view is that it holds Columbus personally responsible for all that followed his exploratory journey. In truth, the "discovery" of America was inevitable, and the subsequent events derived from the character of European culture at the time and from the personalities of the various participants, notably the Conquistadors who saw this as the occasion for looting more than

Paper Introduction: COMING OF THE CIVIL WAR (1820-1860)
This research paper summarizes, explains, and analyzes the principal events that led to the American Civil War. Between 1820 and 1860, the sectional rivalry between the North and the South intensified. That rivalry coalesced around the failure of the political system to arrange a lasting accommodation over the extension of slavery into the western territories. The economic and social forces which ultimately undermined the basis for political compromise between North and South gained momentum during the two decades 1820 to 1840; but political balance between North and South was maintained by the two party system during that period. A much more serious series of crises erupted in the 1840s and early 1850s over the extension of slavery that accompanied the expansion through conquest and settlement of the

Paper Abstract: Examines colony's 17th Cent. establishment, focusing on dominance of Puritan beliefs, maintenance of daily life & work, control of dissent.
Paper Introduction: The English Puritans were constrained, derided, and bullied by the advocates of the Church of England, which they saw as the source of England's growing corruption. Their theologians, especially those who emigrated to America, "read about the covenant which God had established with Abraham, and so organized their churches on a covenant among the saints" (the saved), thereby producing "a theology, an ecclesiastical program, and a social philosophy for New England" (Delfs 602). The remarkable success of the Massachusetts Bay Colony was due in large part to the fact that the Puritan settlers, for the most part, agreed on principles that supported a life of hard work dedicated to the service of God. Civil and religious authorities universally understood human endeavor as the ceaseless attempt to live a godly life and saw a set of moral attributes that "have the

Paper Abstract: Examines 1831 slave insurrection in Virginia. Background, issues, Turner's motivation & leadership, outcome, white & govt. response.
Paper Introduction: This research will construct a narrative of the slave revolt led by Nat Turner in 1831, with reference to documents produced at the time of the event. The research will set forth the context in which the Turner rebellion occurred and will discuss the motivation of Turner, the causes of the revolt, and the goals of the rebels.
By the time Nat Turner and other slaves killed more than 50 white people in and around Southampton, Virginia, in August of 1831, the slaveholders of the South had little experience that might have prepared them for the realization that the institution of slavery could place their lives in jeopardy. A conspiracy led by Denmark Vesey, a free Negro living in Charleston, North Carolina, had emerged in 1822, partly out of public discourse over the Missouri Compromise (1821), which settled the geogr

Paper Abstract: Examines two battles of Revolutionary War to understand successful strategy & actions of General George Washington.
Paper Introduction: It is sometimes difficult, as we near the 225th anniversary of our country’s independence, to recall how very unlikely that independence seemed during the early battles of the American Revolution. This paper examines two of those battles – Trenton and Princeton – to understand how the strategy and actions of George Washington helped ensure victory in these battles and, as a result, in the war as a whole.
Before describing the battles more completely, a brief overview of the two battles is useful for placing them within the context of the war.
The forces of General George Washington defeated Hessian troops, German mercenaries allied with the British, in the Battle of Trenton on December 26, 1776. One week later British forces under General Charles Cornwallis advanced along the Delaw

Paper Abstract: Examines advantages & disadvantages of North & South: labor, population, military, economics, production, geography, experience.
Paper Introduction: We know the Union will win the Civil War and we know that the anti-slavery Union should win the Civil War, and because of both of these facts we often do not think about how apparent the North’s advantage was at the beginning of this fraternal battle over the fate of slavery and the United States waged between 1861 and 1865. This paper takes up that topic, examining the balance of resources between the North and South at the beginning of the Civil War and the implication of this balance of preparedness for the initial strategy of the two sides.
Although by the end of the war the North would seem to hold an advantage over the South in terms of its infrastructure, in fact it was the case in 1861 that neither the North nor the South was prepared initially to wage a war (Garrison, 1998, p. 41).

Paper Abstract: Examines anti-slavery efforts of free and slave blacks in abolitionist movement.
Paper Introduction: INTRODUCTION
Slavery was called the "peculiar institution," and it was stoutly defended by those who benefited from it, the white plantation owners in the South, just as is was vehemently opposed by abolitionists in both North and South who saw it as an evil. Slavery was a business for some, an economic necessity for others, and for those enslaved, a way of life from which they could only rarely escape. The image of the abolitionist has been of white Northerners who formed societies and agitated for change, serving a swell as part of the underground railroad to free slaves. However, there were also black abolitionists who played a prominent and important role, and African American leaders among the freed slave population served a particular role in that they had been victims of slavery and were now able to

Paper Introduction: Slavery developed in the American context beginning in the seventeenth century, and the institution was continued with various justifications for more than two and one-half centuries. The slave trade in Western Europe developed in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Slavery had a long history by that time, and slavery in Africa was a well-established institution. African slavery had one difference for most of its history:
At least in some portions of Africa there was no racial basis of slavery. The Egyptians enslaved whatever peoples they captured. At times they were Semitic, at times Mediterranean, and at other times blacks from Nubia.

Paper Abstract: Views of Frenchman on society, values & ideals, politics, problems of U.S. in 1830s.
Paper Introduction: One of the earliest analyses of American culture was that of Alexis de Tocqueville, who traveled the country in 1835 and 1840. In his Democracy in America, De Tocqueville reported on what Americans thought of themselves, and much of what he writes evokes the traditions and myths by which Americans are identified to this day. Among the traditions De Tocqueville cites about American society are the notion of rights for everyone, the public spirit of the people, and the general respect for law. He also addresses the question of the possibility of the tyranny of the majority and the ways in which this is mitigated as he writes: "But in the United States the majority which so frequently displays the tastes and the propensities of a despot, is still destitute of the more perfect instruments of tyranny" (De Tocqueville 261). De Tocqueville then shows how the minority is pr

Paper Introduction: The Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776 as a statement of the Second Continental Congress of the independence of the American colonies from British rule. Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft, and ideas were then incorporated from John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. The document was adopted on July 4, and along with success in the American Revolution, the Declaration ushered in a new political age (Carruth 138). The document produced at the behest of the Second Continental Congress expressed a number of political ideas then current in the colonies, ideas which had been expressed by others in a different form and which were now brought together by Jefferson in a final statement of independence from England.
Jefferson based much of the document on ideas derived from Locke and Rousseau concerning the value of natural law, to the

This research paper discusses the power of subordinate people over their lives and society during the colonial period and the changes in that power which were brought about by the changes in governance during the Revolutionary War and Constitutional eras. For most people in the colonies, life was hard during the colonial period which lasted almost as long as the life of the Republic since its founding in 1787. The great mass of people had little control over their lives or society, but substantial autonomy was enjoyed by the colonies and their legislatures from their colonial overlords which was a function of distances and different conditions in the harsh wilderness.

Paper Abstract: Examines honest & dishonest portrayals of Europeans' treatment of Amer.-Indians, focusing on Washington Irving's [Life & Voyages of Christopher Columbus].
Paper Introduction: In Washington Irving's The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus, some of the crimes committed by Columbus and his fellow Europeans against the native population are portrayed. This study will focus on those crimes against Native Americans, as portrayed by Irving and other authors, and on the impact of the crimes on the size of the native population.
The provided selections from Irving's book do not give a complete picture of the crimes committed by Columbus and other Spaniards in the New World. Irving is largely sympathetic to Columbus and has clearly chosen not to cover at length or in detail the crimes committed by the Spaniards, as depicted more objectively in other works. Instead, Irving glosses over the crimes or minimizes and excuses them as necessary. In the section on Columbus' appearance in court in Spain to answer charges

Paper Abstract: Examines roles of average citizens in War of Independence, economic interests, major issues, demonstrations, Boston Tea Party.
Paper Introduction: INTRODUCTION
Although considerable scholarship has been devoted to the accomplishments of the founding fathers and their role in liberating the colonies from Great Britain, the real heroes of the American Revolution were ordinary men. These men hailed from the lower strata of society, and included working class urbanites, rural peasants, immigrants, and blacks, both free and slave. Such men provided the muscle and participated in mob action against British tyranny. Mass movements such as these led to war in the American colonies.
Economic interests played a larger role in the American Revolution than many historians care to acknowledge. Granted, the ideals of freedom, liberty, and the rights of man were at the forefront in much of the rhetoric espoused by the founding

Paper Abstract: History of anti-alcohol movement in 19th Cent. Goals, leaders, opposition, effects.
Paper Introduction: In the nineteenth century, the evils of demon rum were proclaimed from pulpits and attacked by various temperance groups. These efforts would be seen in this century as precursors of the prohibition movement which would result in the era of Prohibition, a failed social experiment that may actually have increased drinking rather than reducing it. The methods used by the movement changed during the course of the century, and success was spotty at best. The movement branched out to include a wide variety of other social concerns under one umbrella and so helped generate the kind of reform impulse that fired the progressive Movement at the beginning of this century.
The Temperance Movement had a boom in the early part of the nineteenth century and then lost power in the 1820s in the face of social elitism, ineffective tactics, and internal squabbling.

Paper Abstract: Examines architectural development, land use & town planning, focusing on Fuller family houses in Middleton.
Paper Introduction: The rapid, steady development of Essex County, Massachusetts led to the creation of an architectural landscape that, by the end of the colonial period, differed considerably from those of other rural regions of New England. The Fuller houses of Middleton demonstrate the type of house that predominated in Middleton and similar Essex communities. The history of the family displays a common pattern for the region as the economically advanced Fullers moved into an outlying area and, building on their advantage, became leading citizens of the township that grew up around them.
Recent scholarship has challenged some of the prevailing notions about the village settlement and architectural makeup of New England towns. Joseph Wood's studies of settlement patterns have demonstrated that the notion that the villages of New

The eleven Southern States, wishing to continue their practice of slavery so as not to lose their economic base of tobacco farming – withdrew from the United States during the years 1860-61 to form the Confederate States of America. The act of secession was formally accomplished in the individual states through a convention either called by the state legislature or, as in the case of Texas, self-assembled and it prompted the Civil War, a war fought by American patriots not only to defeat the terrible institution of slavery but also to rescue the beloved Union from a terrible and permanent dissolution.
In fact the process of Secession was certainly not this simpl

Paper Abstract: Religious, political, social, legal & gender aspects, origins, examples.
Paper Introduction: Witch hunts were not uncommon in seventeenth-century New England. Although the 1692 Salem witch trials were the most infamous, prior to this event a number of alleged witches were put to death in various colonies. Religious fervor, interfamily feuds, judicial processes, and gender politics all played a role in the composition of the peculiar society that spawned the mass witch hunt hysteria in colonial Salem.
Witchcraft was an accepted way of life in New England, and by the mid-seventeenth century, many colonies already had laws forbidding its practice. A 1648 statute relating to witchcraft in the Massachusetts Bay Colony reads: “If any man or woman be a witch, that is hath or consulteth with a familiar spirit, they shall be put to death. Exodus 22:18 Leviticus 20:27 Deuteronomy 18:10-11.” The Biblical texts referenced all originate from the

Paper Abstract: Examines political & philosophical origins & extent to which goals of document were accomplished.
Paper Introduction: This research will examine the American Declaration of Independence and the extent to which it accomplished the purposes that it articulated. The research will set forth the historical context in which the Declaration emerged and then discuss how the consequences that flowed from it correlated with what the document represented and with its function as an artifact of nation-state institutionalization.
It is both a commonplace and a definitive statement of origins in American history that the Declaration of Independence, written in 1776 as the justification for the revolution that resulted, in 1783, in dissolution of royal authority over the British colonies, was meant, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, "to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent." The Decla

Paper Abstract: Examines whether Colonies won or British lost. Military, political, strategic & economic aspects.
Paper Introduction: OUTCOME OF WAR OF INDEPENDENCE: DID THE BRITISH LOST IT OR THE PATRIOTS WIN IT?
This essay and supporting research addresses the question --is it more insightful to suggest that the patriots won the War of Independence (1775-1781) or the British lost it? There is considerable merit to the argument that political and military blunders by the British played a major role in determining the outcome of the Revolutionary War. These consisted of errors in the formulation and central direction of the strategy for conducting the war and its execution and failures in command, tactics, and logistics. Above all, the British failed to mount in the early stages of the war the kind of determined war effort which could have won it before the patriots could have mobilized and trained an effective army. On the other hand, such an either-

Paper Abstract: Accuracy & biases of European travelers' reports & impact on Old World & New World perceptions. Exploration, politics, economics, settlements, Amer.-Indians, melting pot, institutions.
Paper Introduction: This research will examine the value of accounts of North America produced by Old World visitors from 1610 to 1835. The research will set forth the context in which European travelers produced such accounts and then discuss the impact that the writing had in shaping Old World perceptions of America as well as New World views of the emerging American culture.
Any discussion of Old World visitors' accounts of North America that predates the American Revolution must begin with the observation that until the successful completion of the Revolution the measure taken of the new land was not necessarily the measure of America but rather of Europe in America. The priorities of European geopolitics, culture, and economics, specifically Europe's needs that the New World could fill and Europe's values that the New World could receive, were almost alway

Paper Abstract: Examines role of women & children in process of separation of Amer. & Canadian colonies from England.
Paper Introduction: To address the issue of whether the role and status of women and children helped to undermine or sustain Partite in North America during the years 1600 to 1825 is a nearly impossible task because of the cultural, psychological and ethnic diversity of that population during a complex historical period. There is no single historically accurate statement that can be made about this entire population over this entire time.
Moreover the process of Partite, through which the English settlements in the New World became increasingly (and in the case of the United States) completely and irretrievably) separated from England, was a complex and nonlinear process that was supported by some elements of American and Canadian populations and fought against by others.
However, if one narrows one’s focus sufficiently, one can begin

Paper Abstract: How reality & myth of Western frontier influenced Amer. society & institutions & concepts of freedom & opportunity.
Paper Introduction: Westward ho! The cry resounds throughout the whole of Euro-American history as immigrants moved from their initial, fragile settlements along the Atlantic Coast towards the lure of ever greener, richer, and emptier lands to the West. Although for much of the early part of settlement, European immigrants did not know exactly how much West there was, they wanted all of it, and this drive towards the Manifest Destiny – the idea that U.S. territorial expansion westward was not only inevitable but even divinely ordained – was a consuming force for much of the 18th and 19th centuries. This paper examines how both the reality and the idea of the western frontier influenced American society and institutions during the years 1600 to 1830, and how its influence differed from that of the ocean.
From the vantage point of the 20th century, the metaphor of the f
