...Susan Brownell Anthony One of the things that makes America to the country it is today is democracy. Without Susan Brownell Anthony though, democracy would not be possible. Susan B. Anthony spent her whole life to the women’s suffrage movement, the movement that fought for the women’s right to vote. Without her women would probably not have the right to vote until way later and if women do not have the right to vote, it would not be a democracy. Early Life Susan Brownell Anthony was born on February 15, 1820 in Adams Massachusetts (Susan B. Anthony Biography.). Her fathers name is Daniel Anthony and her mother’s name is Lucy Read and out of eight children she was the second oldest (McPherson). Her family was part of a religious group called...

...Restrictions and Expansions? The amendments of the early 20th century were a crucial breeding ground for the development of how government and citizens saw their roles. Religious groups and women preached toward anti-alcoholic sentiments and brought about the 18th amendment. Many states prior to this had already banned alcohol sales and it was considered a state matter that government shouldn’t interfere with. This amendment, although morally right, was more of a volatile infringement on American standards that had been around since the Mayflower. Government officials ended up accepting bribes, alcohol that was sold illegally often killed buyers from poisonous elements used in home distillery, and the mafia began to establish stronger footholds...

...highlights that this interpretation of Reconstruction was fostered by anti-Reconstruction propaganda and adopted academically by William Dunning around the turn of the century. He further brings out that films like Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind spread the myth-like idea of the years after the Civil War. Foner explains that this view of Reconstruction was widely accepted because it fit with the political and social mentalities of the time that allowed white southerners to vehemently oppose integration and true black suffrage. Despite the convenience of the traditional view of Reconstruction it would soon lose prominence. The original opinion was that Lincoln was ready to accept the South with little reprimands and that Johnson tried to fulfill Lincoln’s policies, the current opinion, as stated by Foner, is “President Lincoln did not have a coherent plan’ for Reconstruction, but at the time of his assassination he had been cautiously contemplating black suffrage. Andrew Johnson was a stubborn, racist politician who lacked the ability to compromise”. Foner further explains that the Radicals were exonerated of their vindictive moniker and realized as true idealist. The radicals Sumner and Stevens...

...vGovernment Expansion History History 105 Unit 1 project There are numerous ways that the US Government has expanded its authority between the start of the Civil war through the Civil Rights era. This paper will focus on a couple of examples of the government expansion and the affects that these particular examples had in influencing the political, social and economic structures. The Civil War Reconstruction era necessitated an extraordinary expansion of the roles and responsibilities of the central government. The civil War resulted in the implementation of amendments Thirteenth, Fourteen, and Fifteen of the Constitution. These amendments created a new federal aspect of citizenship for all, and sought to guarantee universal male suffrage. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery for the entire nation (which, until then had been a state issue). The Fourteenth Amendment reversed the decision that black people could not be citizens, by declaring that any person born in the United States was a citizen. The Fifteenth Amendment carries on from the Fourteenth by saying that states can't deny citizens voting rights on the grounds of race or having once been a slave. Once the constitution had been amended, the United States had to make sure that the new laws were protected and enforced, supporting the new powers of the national government. Which was a daunting task because these amendments changed our nation’s entire social structure which in turn changed the political...

...paper examples. “African American’s Journey to Freedom” Charity Johnson HIS204: American History since 1865 Instructor: Leslie Ruff February 11, 2013 “African American’s Journey to Freedom” To some African Americans it may seem ironic that The United States of America is known as “the land of the free” considering that majority of their ancestors entered the US as slaves. African Americans were brought to North America via the middle passage which originated during the fifteenth century. They were enslaved for approximately 400 hundred years until the end of the Civil War in 1865. Although African Americans were enslaved in America, they were determine to survive and one day be freed in this great country. During The African American’s journey to freedom several significant events took place which was inclusive of but not limited to: The Civil Rights Movement of 1865-1877, Separate but Equal Legislation (Plessy vs. Ferguson court case) in 1896, The Harlem Renaissance of 1920, Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954, The March on Washington Movement of 1963, and The Black Power Movement of the late 1960s and 1970. I will discuss the significance of these events in relation to the African American journey to freedom and how they have help shape American society today. THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT OF 1865-1877 Frequently when one hears of the Civil Rights Movement we automatically think of the Civil Rights events that had taken place in the 1950-1970s. However, the Civil Rights Movement...

...“bigger picture;” seeing an organization how it is now, and how it will be in four or ten years down the road. Strategic planning implements knowledge of the industry’s direction and how an organization’s future plans align with that direction. In the true business management sense, strategy is distinguished by several key elements: 1. It steers the direction of the company and affects the long-term health of the company. 2. It is usually measured in years; it is a long-term plan that will take years to meet goals. 3. Its impact is felt company wide. 4. It builds on and utilizes all of the available company resources. 5. Its implementation is meant to gain an advantage over competitors. 6. It typically means change for the company in many different areas. 7. Its success is a result of the efforts and hard work of many people within the company. (Moseley, 2009).

...Rosemarie Zagarri Revolutionary Backlash transforms the field of women's history and the standard political narrative that still has an effect on United States history. Many define the Revolution as a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system. Women in the 1700’s define American Revolution as the profound change in political status and rights of women. Overall, Zagarri being a female has a better understanding of the struggle in gaining women’s rights. White males marginalized those who could not vote, mainly women however all was not lost. Women had already commenced to participate in charitable movements, non-profitable societies, and convivial reform organizations. Through these organizations, women found another way to practice politics. Many women took advantage of these opportunities and actively engaged in American political culture through the early Federal period, but a conservative...

...Mark Roehlen Module 3 formal paper. Women, in today's modern time they have involved amazingly. Women's suffrage is at an all time high in america. It's hard to truly picture how anyone could consider women anything less than a independent, professional, and major role in their culture, and politics . However that's where the United States culture and Malalas culture in pakistan differ when it comes to the role of women. Good examples of this is the women's role in the house, the woman's right to go to school, and how a woman acts, dresses, and etc in both cultures. Each example shares a role in the differences of cultures. Up until about the 1960s, both United states and Pakistan's culture were similar in the role of a woman's place in the household. It's referred to as the traditional family, wife stays at home and cooks, cleans, and cares for the children. In many ways this was expected of the women in both cultures and education for women never exceeded very high results. But after the 1960s into the 1970s, women in the united states started to get better careers and realize there is no need for a man's dependence. They did not need to be confined in a house all day and could become more independent in their fields. This is where the cultures started to fall completely different. In islam culture and in Malala culture, the women is expected to find a husband...

...-Quentin Bell: Virginia Woolf A Biography, Harcourt Books, 1972, Pp. 314- Virginia Woolf: The Scrutiny of Her Depiction The nephew of Virginia Woolf, Quentin Bell, does his best to define and reveal whom his aunt was, but I did not get what I wanted from Bell’s book. In my accounts of reading Virginia Woolf’s writings like “To the Lighthouse” and “Mrs. Dalloway”, I found myself captivated by Woolf’s observant and insightful mind that seemed to clearly see into itself and the minds of others including those in her family. Many of Woolf’s works alluded to views of distributive justice, socioeconomic processes, social exclusion, and assessments of patriarchy, but what I found in this biography was a person who appeared to be self-centered, and difficult to understand. Although Bell saw her as an elegant women with a brilliant mind that at times sporadically had nervous breakdowns it seemed that too often her brilliance didn’t come through to me because Bell failed to do what Woolf did in her writings, which was to create an image of a character that revealed her [Woolf’s] nature without constantly having to remind me. Both Bell and Woolf had great minds and an excellent sense of artistry, so it is unfair to compare Quentin Bell to Virginia Woolf. So my critique is not of Quentin Bell as a person, but his ideas of who Virginia Woolf was. And in this case Bell has plenty of insight on Woolf but tends to focus on details and journals in her life that do not help to truly resonate...

...Feminist Movement Firstly, we would like to talk about the causes and the beginning of feminist movement. the About two centuries ago, human society has many changes and movements; the occurrence of human right and its acceptability, the attention of the importance of democracy, the change of production to industry, instead of agriculture, and the advance of technology. These changes and movements cause some women getting the chance of education as same as almost men, and make women working outdoor instead of doing household work. These phenomena cause people questioning about the original belief that proposes women are inferior to men, and the difference between men and women is natural matter which is unchangeable. People tried to find the reason why this belief occurred and has still endured for a long time. In addition, there is a social movement which tried to change this belief, including the condition of the inequality between men and women. This social movement is called feminism. This social phenomenon began, in 19th century, in the western side of the world, because women didn’t accept the original culture, their role in society, the inequality of gender, and the oppression of men. However, this contradiction in terms of gender has been argued up to the beginning of 20th century. Feminism has rapidly grown since the last forty years of 20th century. People become awakened to study about women in several measurements, especially in the study of the relationship...
