...Lewis Morris, the delegate of New York in the Continental Congress, was born on April 8, 1726 in Morrisania, New York. His parents were Lewis Morris and Tryntje Staats. His father was Chief Justice of New York and the governor of New Jersey in his lifetime. Lewis’s oldest noted ancestor is Richard Morris, who was an officer in Cromwell’s Army and later left England and moved to New York where he was granted several acres of land in Westchester County. After Richard passed away the land was left to Lewis Morris (senior). Then when his father died in 1762 Lewis (junior) inherited the land and became the Third Lord of The Manor of Morrisania. Lewis was homeschooled until he turned 16, at which time he attended Yale College, which he graduated from in 1746. He married his wife, Mary Walton, on September 24, 1749 with whom he had ten children; six sons and four daughters, Catherine Morris, Mary Morris, Colonel Lewis V.

...4/12/2012 By: Derek Putnam | | The Sons of Liberty | | The Sons of Liberty | The Sons of Liberty used their power and influence to manipulate popular opinion, thereby inciting the public to act against the laws and control of England. They were one of the most influential groups behind the American Revolution. The start of the Sons of Liberty is something of a mystery. The group always met in secret and it is disputed where it all began. Some say it started in New York and some will say under the leadership of Samuel Adams the Boston chapter was first. One thing is certain though, they all had the same goal, to organize public opinion and coordinate patriotic actions against Great Britain. The Sons of Liberty met at night so not to attract the British soldiers and to keep their activities secret until they felt it was time to make them public. One of the main reasons the groups were started was to protest and campaign against the Stamp Act. That was just the start of what the group would protest against and continue to fight for liberty against Britain. The Sons of Liberty name actually came from a speech given to parliament by Colonel Isaac Barre, “the behavior of Britain’s officials toward Americans on many occasions has caused the blood of those Sons of Liberty to recoil within them”, which wasn’t intended to imply disloyalty towards the crown but when word got back to the colonies and they saw his words they used them to their benefit. Barre...

...has been conflicts between the supporters of a strong federal government and campaigners of states’ rights. This paper will address these three aspects associated with the first three articles of the United States Constitution. Reasons for Dividing the Government The fact that power is abused if monopolized by one person is something the world has dealt with for some time. History provides us with plenty of examples of rulers who tormented society as well as their own people. The Roman Caesars drove the Roman Empire to break through their selfishness and reckless abuse of power. France was under the same disastrous governance structure under Louis XIV and Louis XVI. Lord Acton, eminent British historian wrote this report to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts totally. Great men are almost always unprincipled men." William Pitt served as the British Prime Minister from 1766 to 1778. The unrest and discontent in the American colonies was building and would require the Patriot leaders to adopt an open rebellion against England in 1776. In 1770 William Pitt, in a speech before the House of Commons, made the following insightful quote. "Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it." (McClellan, 2000) The colonists had experienced enough chaos and corruption under King George III of England. Having won their freedom by 1781 they set about establishing...

...basic needs, including employment. Without entrepreneurs technology advances would be stagnant. Entrepreneurs take great risks. But it’s the road that leads to the rags-to-riches dream and keeps America on top of the business world. Pioneering capitalists and entrepreneurial leaders didn’t have the advantage of being able to study business geniuses and learn their leadership styles and how they would approach methods leading to business success. They were the geniuses that paved the road for the way we do business today. Thanks to those first pioneers and others that followed through the industrial revolution and beyond, today we have many business giants we can study to get an idea what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. In this paper I will analyze and describe two leading entrepreneurs, Victor Kiam and Blake Mycoskie in terms of their leadership styles and how each would apply major business principles concerning a profit-oriented entrepreneurial approach and/or a social-responsibility approach where their primary goals are to make a profit or provide a positive impact on society respectively. I’ll also...

...analysis of antebellum and postbellum women in South Carolina is often riddled with bias against a familial hierarchy that has existed in families since Biblical times. While this domestic and societal order is not fiction, it is only, for purposes in this research, a contextual experience that creates an understanding of women and their approach and reaction to events prior to, during, and after the Civil War, for ethical and moral values assigned to this status are of a different approach altogether. The Civil War’s effect on South Carolinian society was dramatic, as with many other states in the Union. On the homefront, a noticeable difference occurs in the woman’s role within her family structure and in her relationship to the culture in which she lived.

...Introduction This paper aim at analyzing the concept of entrepreneurial leadership .Before starting our analysis, two important concepts need to be addressed: Leadership and Entrepreneurship. Leadership is directing or inspiring people to attain organizational goals (Boone and Kurtz, 2011). An entrepreneur is a person who seeks a profitable opportunity and takes the necessary risks to set up and operate a business (Boone and Kurtz, 2011). In the past 15 years researchers have tried to merge those two concepts into one concept Entrepreneurial Leadership .The common point of those researchers is that most defined some of the main elements of what they taught entrepreneurial leadership meant (Tarabishy, 2003). According to the research result of Ayman Tarabishy (2003) entrepreneurial leadership is one of an enterprising, transformational leader who operates in a dynamic market that offers lucrative opportunities. Entrepreneurial leaders are usually risk takers, driven, and can recognize when change will give an advantage. Entrepreneur leaders are engine of innovation, renewal, and job creation (Verheul, 2007). Entrepreneur leaders apply their talent in different situations and have different entrepreneurial approaches. Thesis Statement: In analyzing the importance of leading entrepreneurs to determine their entrepreneurial approaches one of each of the following categories will be addressed: (1) profit oriented, (2) social responsibility oriented; 3) personal approach and...

...History of the United States I AMH 1010 CRN 10800, December 1, 2014 Wood, Gordon. The Radicalism of the American Revolution. Vintage Books, a Division of Random House, Inc., New York, 1991 Gordon Wood describes the American Revolution as a journey from paternal colonialism to an egalitarian democracy. His contention is that the American Revolution does not seem to have the same kinds of causes that Revolutions usually display. There were no big social wrongs, no class conflict, no severe poverty, or gross inequitable distribution of wealth. Wood claims our revolution was not about independence as most history books claim but about the radical transformation of the American society. Monarchy In this section the author describes the structure of colonial America in the 1750s and 1760s. In colonial society, authority and liberty flowed from the structure of personal relationships. Society was held together by networks of personal loyalties, obligations and dependencies. In this hierarchical society, the elite or aristocrats ruled. The aristocrats (also called gentlemen) used their wealth and their hereditary advantages to keep the common people as dependents. The aristocrats lived a life of leisure which meant that they were not expected to labor. Their income was supposed to come from their landed estates. They used these landed estates to control the issuance of government offices and created laws that would keep their estates in the family. Most estates were passed on to...

...most damning elements in Swift’s use of this discourse is that of cannibalism. e discourse of ethnic defamation arose out of the Norman conquest of Ireland in the twelfth century. Clare Carroll points out that “the colonization of the Americas and the reformation as events … generated new discourses inflecting the inherited discourse of barbarism” in early-modern English writing about Ireland (). Narratives of native cannibalism were an indispensable part of these new discourses and practices. For the English authors as well as their continental counterparts, the cannibalistic other of the New World became a yardstick by which to measure the threat posed by internal enemies, be it the indigenous Irish, the French Catholics, or the Moorish inhabitants of Spain.¹ us, it was against the backdrop of the reforma Carroll demonstrates that while continental authors like Bartolomé de Las Casas and Jean de Léry could treat the Amerindians and their cannibalistic practices as being less alien than their respective domestic enemies the moors and the ESC .– (June/September ): – A C teaches English at the University of Alberta as an Instructor.
