The Formation of the U.S. Federal Government

ABSTRACT
Review of the movie "The Patriot" provides a vastly entertaining supposition of the efforts of the South Carolina colony's Continental Army actions in fighting the British Empire's army on the road to creating the federal government. Admittedly, loosely based on important characters in this vital area of American history as well as combinations of important battles making up dynamic and visually exciting scenes, "The Patriot" serves more as a springboard for academic investigation of the facts depicted fictionally in the movie specifically connected to the main character of Benjamin Martin based on ...

The Turkish viewpoint story of the Battle of the Dardanelles is the main focus of this book. The first three chapters of the book deal with the awful battle of the Gallipoli and the effect that the battle had on the people of Turkey and Australia.

The book is published in Australia, which was a little questionable as to why the Australians would want to read about the Turkish point ...

The background to this Greek poem, The Iliad of Homer, is the war between the Trojans and the Achaians. The Greek warriors sieged a city on the shores of Turkey, and were opposed by the Trojans. The main purpose of this war was to rescue Helen of Troy (Sparta). This poem could be an imaginary expression of events, yet it could also be the historical recordings of a real war. There is, however, the dispute of the date of the poem and the date of the war that makes it invalid as an eyewitness record. Even so, the beauty ...

In the sixth-century A.D., the Anglo-Saxon culture left behind nearly 30,000 lines of literature. Of those, 4,000 lines formed the epic poem, Beowulf. The author of the piece remains shrouded in mystery as does the exact year of its writing. The ancient, alliterative poem tells the tale of the adventures of the strong and courageous warrior, Beowulf, who comes to the aid of Hrothgar, King of the Danes. Beowulf himself is the nephew of Higelac, King of the Geats, and is said to have the strength of 30 men in each of his arms (pace.edu, n.d.). The story ...

Thoreau seeks to communicate to his audience in a unique and an ideal way. He employs poetic license personifying the ants in his story. Essentially, one needs to examine the context of the work in order to understand the message communicated by Thoreau. He observes the battle that pits two large ants. Interestingly, at first sight, he imagines that combatants in the war are only two large ants. However, he soon realizes that the two ants are actually two groups of ants, the red and the black ones. Thoreau deliberately suggests that the two groups of ants are not equal ...

Colonialism refers to the practice of domination of one race upon another through conquests. Colonization refers to the European settlers taking lands by force from non-European people. The word colonialism has frequently been associated with the description of European settlement in North America, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Canada and places which were under the subjugation of European settlers. German scholar Jurgen Osterhammel described colonialism as "a relationship of domination between an indigenous majority and a minority of foreign invaders" (Nielsen & Robyn, 2003). Though colonizing states like New Zeland, Australia, Canada and the United States vary in their cultures, economies, histories, legal ...

The two main factors in the formation of the United States as a sovereign country were the American Revolutionary War in 1775 and the American Civil War in 1861. In both cases, it was a struggle for independence and unity against the oppressive regime. In first case it was a struggle of the 13 British colonies against Britain and its loyalists (colonists who remained loyal to the Crown) between the Patriots (ordinary Americans). In second case, it was a war between the Americans from the North with freed or escaped slaves and the Americans of the South with slaves. ...

A war of independence is commonly considered as a justified action, accumulating the struggling of one nation against another. The Texas Revolution, however, represents a peculiar exception to this patterned characteristic of these military conflicts. This event, crucial for Texas, is considered either in a negative way, accusing Texans and Americans of expansion of Mexican territory, or even passed over in silence. At the time when Texas began inhabited by Americans and Europeans at the invitation of the Spanish authorities, the Spanish themselves expelled its small Texas population, accusing it of treason during the years of 1810-1821s (Beisner, American ...

The worlds of Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey are often harsh, with mankind being essentially at the will of the gods and prone to failure. To that end, even the best among men in these works have their own flaws – Achilles and Odysseus respectively provide that sense of romantic antiheroism inherent to Homeric works. Whereas modern heroism values moral and ethical virtue as part of being a hero, the Homeric ideal of heroism is actually quite anti-heroic. Greek heroes do not have to be the most ethical or civilized; they just have to possess supreme bravery, strength, military ...

New Orleans

The American victory at New Orleans in 1815 reflected many of the qualities that are considered intrinsic to the American national character. Social equality, personal resiliency and an emphasis on the common good were all in evidence during the defense of the city at the mouth of the strategically critical Mississippi River. The American force that defeated the British was a multi-ethnic and populist patchwork, a collection of rugged individualists from throughout a nation that was still coalescing as a viable geo-political unit. It was led by a man who embodied the very notion that common people can possess extraordinary qualities, itself a refutation of ...

Abstract

Battles are either won or lost because of a commander’s decision. As a leader of his team, the commander is the central authority when it comes to the military decision making process. But underlying these decisions are his subordinates who are often tasked with making plans and course of actions. These courses of actions are often laid-out by subordinate officers, which make them highly influential in the outcome of a commander’s decision. Over the years, standard procedures have been developed and observed when making decisions in the military. Of particular interest is the seven decision-making steps outlined ...

There are so many different settings and places throughout this novel that it is almost impossible to pinpoint just one. However, it is my opinion that the most important scene which portrays the theme of manipulation is the meeting of Valentine and Ender at Lake Brandt on earth. Manipulation is a very important theme within the text, Ender’s Game, since examples of manipulation are portrayed in at least two to three scenes of every chapter. Ender has just been transferred out of Battle School in record time, and is about to be ...

History is considered to be humanity’s legacy drawing the path which is to be paved upon the learnings of the past. It was Aristotle, the great Ancient Greek philosopher, who had said that history is a series of homocentric cycles, aiming at pointing the importance of studying it. Evolution and progress may achieve to make people’s lifestyle much more progressive than they could ever imagine but human nature is not easily changeable. As a conclusion studying history contributes to our understanding human nature, the inner needs generating certain actions, and leads us to learning on what could have been ...

Epic war films are genres focusing on battles either on land, water, or air. Their themes may be military operations, undercover operations, prisoner rescues, or even personal revenges. Hence, the genre may be based on a true story, fictional, historical, or a docudrama. Caldwell (106) narrates four elements listed by John Belton that are crucial in identifying a successful war film in Hollywood. They are: focus on collective goals, as opposed to individual ones, absence of human morality during war times, recuperation of veterans shown, and either rivalry between groups of men or objectification of women. Also, Caldwell (123) asserts that in ...

A Literary Analysis

‘Battle Royal’ is a powerful and evocative story that Ellison later made the opening chapter of his novel, Invisible Man (1952) ‘Battle Royal’ was originally written in 1947 and is, therefore, set in 1927 in an unnamed state in the American South..

Hos perspective as narrator looking back twenty year allows him to criticize the cruelty and hypocrisy of the Sooth’s segregationalist policies – which ...

Irish Drama: Comparing Two Plays

British literary landscape has long been diligently adorned and complemented by the magnificent works of Irish authors, all of them mirroring the peculiar culture, mentality and traditions of the people. In Irish literary legacy, dramaturgy is a remarkable genre, while history and myths are the common thematic aspects of the works.

Ever since I was born, I have been told that English is an important language to master. Unfortunately, being young and careless, I did not register the importance of it right away. When I was in middle school, my parents would drop me off for an extra English tuition after classes, or they thought they did. I was quite rebellious and most of the times I would simply pretend to go up the stairs and then snick to a nearby arcade with friends once our family car drove out of sight. I was perfectly content with the way things were ...

Gettysburg is probably one of the most important battles in US history and in Stephen Sears it has found an author who really understands the battle and backs it up with considerable historical evidence. The book begins with a graphic account of the state of the armies at that point in time with the Union Army particularly in dire straits as the Southern armies under General Lee were moving forward with some alacrity and courage.
Sears argues that the Union’s commanders were rather ineffectual at this point apart from perhaps the cavalry commander Buford who could survey the ...

Evolution from Hunting and Gathering to an Agricultural Society

The Neolithic Revolution is also known as the Neolithic Demographic Transition. Data indicate that this began about 12,500 years ago. People formed communities and they developed settlements as they began to domesticate certain species of plants (Tignor, 23). This “revolution” occurred in several places around the world.
