Introduction

The civil war was a fight over the state rights, and this claim can be supported by the idea that the thirteen colonies in America staged often defied the policies imposed by their mother country. The vast oceans that separated them from Britain served as a means for them to distance themselves from the monarchical rule and be independent in their way. Thus, the concept of state right was already observed even before the American Revolution and the Civil War. During the declaration of American Independence, there was also a need for the newly established national government to compromise ...

What role did Christianity play in Black communities during the colonial era to 1829?

Introduction Christianity played major roles in Black communities during the colonial era to1829. The black in the United States had been degraded into a miserable life of slavery. This degradation put them under very cruel conditions unlike their white counterparts. Thus, Christianity played a major role in the black communities at this time. Since most African slaves came from different regions in the continent, they lacked a common culture on which to coalesce. Their home religions and cultures had initially respected deities from where they came. Thus, Christianity acted as a representation of their ancient African traditions. The Africans ...

Unlike Lincoln and Johnson who took a moderate approach to bring the south under normalcy after the civil war, the radical republicans favored a harsher approach to the situation and upgrade the lives of the freedmen. This brought them into conflict with the established southerners and the Democratic Party in power which wanted to maintain the status quo. The federal government under the radical republicans then enacted laws and made constitutional amendments which could prosecute the Ku Klux Klan, an armed militia found in many Southern states which indulged in violence against the black ...

Being uniquely positioned as the Governor, you must ...

Since Independence in 1776, the Union lasted for Seventy-three years. But problems began to form between the Southern and the Northern States of the country over issues of slavery and taxation.

Introduction

The shared history between America and Mexico can be dated back during the Texas Revolution of 1835-1836, and the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. As a result, several treaties had been signed in culminating differences between the two nations. For example, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Gadsden Purchase comprise some of the agreements made between the two nations. In the 19th century, America claimed Louisiana as part of its territory and was rightfully acquired during the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. These confrontations resulted into conflict as Spain opposed to the America's claim, stipulating that the western boundaries ...

Parker referred to Griffin as a “cornball brother”, something that his fellow panelists had no idea about and that consequently left them bewildered. Parker then went into a lengthy explanation of what he r meant ...

Each artistic feature it is noted suits well in conveying certain themes and messages to its audience even though a variety of styles and techniques available can make many artistic products display the same messages ...

Import Tariffs

Introduction Sloman and Wards (2007, p23) define tariffs as the taxes imposed by the government on the imported goods. In most nations of the world, the tariffs on the imported goods have always been hiked in favor of the locally manufactured goods. When the imported goods get to be highly taxed by the native government, their prices are increased to counteract the high cost of importation. This has always left the domestic goods relatively cheaper and thus high demand from the customers. The imported goods on the hand suffer at this expense; their cost lowers their demand. The ...

Contemporary American society currently faces a number of truly divisive issues regarding personal freedoms and liberties.

However, of these issues, perhaps the most important is the legality of the death penalty as constitutional form of punishment. This extra form of retribution should not be continued in the United States because it ...

Abstract

Slavery was one of the biggest social evils in practice for centuries. Only in the last few decades, we have seen a sharp decline in slavery across the world. The two most talked about slave trades took place in the 19th century America and the 20th Century Saudi Arabia. The nature of two slave trades was different in many ways. The American slaves were bonded laborers, whereas the majority of the Arabian slaves were concubines or sex slaves. The American slave trading and the practice of slavery stopped after the Civil War and the Saudi Arabian slave practice was announced ...

The world today is more sensitive to human rights violations than it was a few decades ago. Many people are now aware of their rights, and issues touching on the dignity of human life receive support the world over. Nonetheless, there are many cases of past injustice that still remain unresolved. The challenge, therefore, becomes whether such occurrences should be addressed in the present day age or whether people should go silent about those injustices as if nothing happened. In as much as some people may want to forget about past injustices such as the inhumane treatment of African Americans, ...

Introduction

The Freedman’s bureau is otherwise known as the United States bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned lands (Freedman's Bureau Act of 1865, 2009). This bureau was formed between 1861 and 1865 with the sole purpose of taking care of the black slaves and the poor whites that lived in the south after the war. Over four million blacks gained their freedom after the Union won the war (Dickerson, 1877). As a result, they were poor and suffered great distress. The reason for this poverty is that most of the economies in the south were entirely dependent of plantation farming. ...

The 1800’s were a time for high growth and success for the United States. Yet, throughout the 1840’s and the 1850’s, a rift between the Southern and the Northern United States started to develop. During this period, the North and the South developed different social, economical, as well as political values. These social, economy and political differences set forth the stage for Civil War. This paper aims to explore some the economic, social and political differences between the North and the South that eventually led to the Civil war. The South had for long relied on cotton ...

The History of Cotton in America

Historically, the cotton production in the United States has experienced times of entrepreneurial developments from England’s cotton clothes and yarn. When the factories began operation, the price of cotton fell drastically to ensure affordability of the clothes by the poor people. The lowered price of cotton saw the rise of demand that necessitated England to demand more cotton. America at this era did not have a large base of cotton production until 1830 when the South started large-scale production of cotton. England benefited from 70 percent of this production while the rest remained in the nation for local production. ...

One of the topics in the text that really captivated me was the topic of democracy. The topic can be found in Chapter 10 of the book. In its simplest definition, democracy refers to a form of administration or government where all eligible citizens equally participate in the proposal, development and formulation of laws and policies. This can be done either directly or via elected representatives such as members of parliament, senators, county representatives and so on. Democracy encompasses economic, cultural a social conditions that essentially enable equal and free political self-determination practice. Democracy is a direct contrast to government forms ...

‘I have a dream’ is a speech that has been related with slavery and its subsequent abolishment. The speech speaks volumes in terms of the black community and the need for them to fight for their rights. Using the speech as an artefact, with the view of Neo-Aristotelian, we shall analyse how Dr. King influenced the global look of racism and the achievements so far. Martin Luther King Jr had various issues against the whites and the blacks alike on the issues of racism. His was not just a biased speech but also one that spoke of America, a land of multiple races. ...

Introduction

Centuries after independence and adoption of civil rights in the United States, racial prejudice has yet to disappear completely. In spite of the numerous efforts put towards elimination of racial mindsets where majority of the white population treats Black Americans and other people of color with prejudice, cases of racial prejudice are still extant in the society. Subtle as it may be, racial prejudice leads to far reaching psychosocial, socioeconomic and even physical consequences. Modern racism is experience in various spheres of life, including legal and employment decisions, group problem-solving and normal day to day interactions in which ethnic ...

This paper discusses the many advantages and positive aspects that have been brought about by this trading block, and the impact that this free trade agreement has had on the economies and citizenry of the ...

Slave trade existed in the colonial days. Its origin was because of the shortage of labor. The first people to be slave were Aboriginals but they were not many. They had incentives like free access to land and indentured servitude. The demand for labor increased forced the Europeans to turn to West Africa. The Europeans exchanged the slaves for manufactured goods. This continued and it became a trade. The trade occurred in open markets. The markets opened daily and sometimes weekly. The black people were the slaves. Anybody in the North who could afford to buy slaves had cheap labor. ...

Abstract

Slavery in the American society was a common practice in the early years after the American revolution.

Introduction First published as Das Kommuniste Che Manifest, the Communist Manifesto was commissioned by the communist league, a political organization formed by working class individuals in northern Europe. The manifesto was jointly authored by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engel.

Capital Punishment or death penalty in the simplest and the most lucid form can be defined as a legally permitted killing of someone as punishment after a thorough and proper legal trial. Whether death penalty should be abolished or not is a long going debate and the recent hanging of Ajmal Kasab, a terrorist involved in attacks on Mumbai in India on 26 November 2008, has kicked off the debate again and on a very fierce note. Though the capital punishment is meant to punish a criminal for his/her crime, it is considered the most barbaric and inhuman way of punishment and should be condemned ...

The Death Penalty Should Not Be Abolished

It comes to no surprise that the issue of the death penalty continues to remain in social forums and even in legislative debates as the punishment continues to reign in several parts of the globe. Debates would often range from the alternative punishments that would not constitute to killing to the idea that criminals do not deserve such death. Of course, supporters to pushing for the death penalty refuted these debates as the mentality goes that if criminals of high profile are punished to their death; others would not try to commit acts to protect their life.

Abolishing the Concept of Voidable Marriage

Introduction The institution of marriage is protected not only as a societal norm but also as an institution of the law. Family law essentially captures the legal connotations that marriage implies on persons and institutions. The concept of voidable marriages sits comfortably under the purview of marriages and is guided by a body of statutes with the overriding objective usually being the provision of fairness to both parties. The law suffices for man and its ideal purpose is to provide justice and fairness to all without fear or favour. Statutes in relation to marriages inherently showcase the same spirit of ...

After the end of three hundred years of slavery, the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln freed Americans from shackles and chains of slavery. However, The Emancipation Proclamation was limited to the Southern States. States outside the South were still legally slaves. The final nail to slavery was realized when the thirteenth amendment was passed that abolished slavery across the territory of the United States.1 Still, the abolishment of slavery was only the first step towards racial cohesion and equality in America. For many African Americans, the legal abolishment was only a façade of the truth. One ...

Female Genital Mutilation otherwise called female circumcision is a practice done in Africa and some parts of Islamic Asia. At the onset, of the 20th century, Christian Missionaries tried to stop this practice terming it barbaric and insulting to the rights and dignity of women.

In the last twenty years, successful campaigns have been made in stopping the practice by a more culturally relative approach. This paper explores the powerlessness of women ...

Since the early colonial period, Black Americans or those with African or Black descent were persecuted by the whites. The United States, for example, had sold Black Americans or those with half African descent as slaves and restricted them in such extent that they were refused food, shelter and the right to fight for their rights as regular citizens of the United States. Although there were movements that fought for the abolishment of slavery and the establishment of equal rights, many still held the sentiment against the Black Americans or the African-Americans throughout the region in the early 1970s. ...

Arguably, modern day historians are justified in attributing the economic and sociopolitical attributes of the present Brazil to the past.
