Since 1400, the number of technological and scientific discoveries has dramatically increased (Appendix A). In the twentieth century, it continued its growth. It was the time of scientific and technological advances that significantly improved our living but at the same time caused environmental problems, as the creation of the internal combustion engine became one of the major reasons of the outpouring of greenhouse gases. In the twenty-first century, we have something to do with them. ...

Introduction:

A wealth of historians have written on baseball and football during the World War II era. However, there is precious little devoted to the political complexities between the Roosevelt Administration, Major League Baseball, and to a lesser extent the National Football League. Patriotism was good for business, however loosing players to the war effort was not, nor were direct financial contributions to the war effort. Major league sports teams are businesses and have to attend to maintaining a financial bottom line in order to remain viable. Little has been done to examine if Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Football League ( ...

Though initiated by Cleve Jones, it is amazing to realize that the whole evolving project is actually authorless, having neither a fixed design and designer which makes it very personal and yet owned by the whole community. However, with the initial and central goal of raising the awareness on the impact of AIDS, the quilt project’s social value has continued to be realized: The project provides a creative visual symbol of remembrance for those affected by the disease, to honor those who have died in AIDS and remember their names, to provide a starting point for AIDS education and action, ...

These letters by John and Abigail Adams describe the important political, philosophical, economic and military issues that were first and foremost in the minds of the American people around the time of independence in 1776. Abigail Adams in particular was concerned about the abolition of slavery, the rights of blacks and women, and better economic and educational opportunities for the poor.

Aristocratic elites of large landowners dominated all slave societies, which tended to be politically authoritarian in nature. Slavery was also a profitable and expanding institution at ...

Interest groups and factions have existed since the beginning of the United States, as James Madison recognized, and political parties throughout American history have been coalitions of interest groups.

They have been well-represented by the Federalist, Whig and Republican Parties for over 200 years, while in the past the Democratic Party was led by the Southern slaveholding interests and also claimed to represent lower-class ...

In Carol Berkin's book A Brilliant Solution: Inventing the American Constitution, the personalities and attitudes of the men who penned the Constitution are examined in detail, looking at the events in chronological order and checking into the various interpersonal dramas that took place around this time period. Berkin does a tremendous amount of research and homework in order to bring to life the emotions and feelings that were experienced by the Founding Fathers at the time of the ratification. This leads to a book that is heavy-hitting, thorough and dramatic in its telling of the beginning of America as a country today.

Book Review: A Slaveholder's Union

A Slaveholders' Union, written by legal scholar George William Van Cleve, presents an historical account of the forming of the Constitution and the early days of the United States of America through the context of slave policy and its subsequent politics.

Van Cleve attempts to examine the politics of slavery throughout the Constitution and elsewhere in various forms. However, his broad thesis is that slavery was, despite many accounts ...
