...The Second War for Independence The War of 1812 was ultimately the second war to decide the fate of the issue of American Independence from the country of Great Britain. The President of the United States James Madison had it printed in newspaper articles saying the war was a fight to stay independent ("Image 1 of By the President of the United States of America, a proclamation. Whereas the Congress of the United States, by virtue of the constituted authority vested in them, have declared by their act ... that war exists between the United Kingdom ... and"). Also the way the treaty negotiations went after the years of war show what each side had in the front of their minds during the war ("Second War of American Independence"). The British...

...Evelyn Ramirez Marlene Soto History Dolley Madison 5/4/17 Task: Research Report Introduction Dolley Madison was one of the most influential person at her time and her effects are still with us today.

...Revolutionary war brought a sense of pride, patriotism and unity to the new United States. The British had long dictated the path of the Americas in order to bring about prosperity for Great Britain with little regard for the Americas. The Revolutionary war ended that or so the United States thought. As the new nation forged its own path to recognition as a sovereign nation based freedom and liberty, there were continuous internal conflicts over the balance of governmental powers, military preparedness, westward expansion, economic prosperity, slavery and diplomacy with other nations. The War of 1812, also known as the second war of independence, or rather the end of the war, reignited passion in the hearts and souls of all Americans with a little help from a General Andrew Jackson and forced Great Britain to respect all the rights the United States deserved as a nation. The Napoleonic War was waging in Europe between Great Britain and France. The United States had full intentions of remaining neutral throughout the conflict. The attempts of the United States to carry on normal trade relations with both Great Britain and France were nearly impossible. Great Britain and France continuously interfered in the commercial trade routes in Europe and the world with blockades and seizures. The use of impressments and requirements for trade were Great Britain’s way of ignoring the rights the United States has as a nation and the right to remain neutral in times of war. In Napoleon’s...

...Abstract War has been part of conflict resolution whenever other means of conflict resolution fail to produce desired fruits. When considered as the only means of resolving conflict between or among conflicting parties, war only ends after realization of winners and losers. At the end of every war, there is always a solution for any conflicting parties. In that line, this paper will discuss the historical Battle for Baltimore. In so doing, the paper will investigate the cause of the war, its effects to the parties, and winner and loser. Battle for Baltimore People and countries engage in wars due to particular sets of differences and misunderstandings. Some of the misunderstandings that lead to war are avoidable through other forms of negotiation without necessarily having to go to actual war. Countries and people tend to lose a lot of property and resources whenever they engage in any form of physical wars. It is for the reason that some countries and people struggle to avoid and stay away from any practices and events that may predispose them to wars. Battle for Baltimore fought in 1814 in America is one such war that saw momentous compulsion of Americans to take part even after struggling to avoid and ignore anything that would lead them into war. The Battle for Baltimore fought between USA and British in 1814 was a just a landmark war that defined the climax end of the long war that existed between Britain and America since 1812. Baltimore is a...

...Federal Government 2305, Fall 2017 Professor Gladden Research Paper 02 The Evolution of the U.S. Political Parties “In 1796, President George Washington warned the countrymen to shun partisan politics.” Since then, a two party system has predominated in the U.S. A two- party political system is one in which only two parties have a realistic opportunity to compete effectively for control of the government. The same two-party system has been around for over a century, although with different forces and alignments. In early American history, there were five different party systems that have impacted our government. These have reduced over the years, to the two party parties of today: Republicans and...

...Use Clausewitz’s “paradoxical trinity” to analyze a specific war from the H100 block. Which of the three magnets of Clausewitz’s paradoxical trinity is most important for understanding that particular conflict? “The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle… It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.” Ecclesiates 9:11 is an often cited passage of the bible used to explain the unexplainable or as an excuse for failure. I will allow that circumstances will always arise (whether in war or everyday life) that could not be predicted; however, the relative reaction to those circumstances is what separates the truly great from the merely average. I will show in this paper that the ability to creatively control ‘chance’ is the single most important factor of Carl von Clausewitz’s paradoxical trinity in understanding the greatness of Napoleon Bonapart. He called this ability in a battlefield situation, ‘military genius’ and although Clausewitz believed in the equity of the three points in his trinity, I would posit that the ability to successfully apply military ingenuity and initiative to the probabilities and uncertainties of war is what was ultimately the deciding factor in the Napoleonic Wars. A closer look at the Battles at Austerlitz, Borodino and Waterloo will demonstrate the role of chance and the military genius in victory and defeat. It is necessary first to briefly explain Clausewitz’s...

...Operation Iraqi Freedom and several other operations. However, when I left the Service it became clear to me years later that Veterans Affairs weren’t ready to treat our Men and Women coming back from War. So I did some extensive research on how the system may have failed the people it was supposed to serve. And a good example of the system’s failure was the second Fort Hood incident in 2014. Keywords: Veterans Affairs, Fort Hood, Service The Department of Veterans Affairs Information Management System: Serving those that Served The reason why I chose this subject is because it is close to home and it also affects me. After two weeks of this class I wanted to dive deep into information management. I want to know why our system at the Department of Veterans Affairs do not stand ready to serve the Veteran population of our Nation properly. So many Veterans complain about loss or insufficient pensions because the VA hasn’t track them sufficiently. Sitting at Veterans Hospital in Orlando, FL I hear two Vietnam era Veterans talk about not having VA ID Cards. And they have been waiting for it since 2009. I asked them why it took this long, and they said, “The system was backlogged”, or at least that’s what the VA told them and this was back in 2009. So the premise of this paper is really for me to uncover answers to three major Questions that I personally have: 1. How long is the integration process as far as Service Member transitioning from Active Duty to Veteran status in...

...our sides, yet we understand our special calling: this great republic will lead the cause of freedom. In light of this statement, ongoing U.S. policy and its likely persistence an examination and understanding of the democracy peace proposition is clearly with merit. This essay will look at the democratic peace proposition at a several levels of analysis: at the monadic level of interstate war on whether democracies generally are more peaceful and whether transitional democracies are more inclined to war; and at the intrastate level as to whether democracies experience more or less civil war. It will examine the validity of the proposition(s), reasons for is occurrence and postulate on what implication there may be for foreign policy? For consideration of the dyadic democratic peace proposition, it is fairly standard practice to accept the Correlates of War Project definition of an interstate war as one involving independent states and at least 1000 battle (combatant) deaths.[3] Russett (1993) uses this definition of 1000 battle deaths as a threshold for considering a conflict a war and it is this...

... ECPI CJ 110 Mr. Taylor July 28, 2012 Abstract The Nine Principles are a set of rules that were formed during the 1800’s for police officers so they could maintain order and enforce the law to an extent while still maintaining the respect of the public. Sir Robert Peel came up with his own set of Nine Principles and Sir Richard Mayne just added to them upon replacing Sir Robert Peel. Introduction The purpose of this paper will be to discuss the Nine Principles of Policing, and who what where and why, these principles were need. We will start by discussing Sir Robert Peel his background and ideals. We also will discuss Sir Richard Mayne and his background as well as his ideals. We will also be discussing why these two men’s’ ideals are accredited for being the foundation of modern policing. The information that was used to research this paper has come from online articles, online newspapers, others’ papers, and the hand out provided in class. Sir Robert Peel (5 February 1788 – 2 July 1850) Sir Robert Peel was born on 5 February 1788 at Chamber Hall just outside of Bury in Lancashire. The Peels were farmers and weavers in Lancashire, but were mostly known for making their fortune in textile manufacturing. Robert was educated at home until the age of ten. The family then moved to Drayton Manor around 1798, where he went to school in Tamworth. Between 1800 and 1804 he attended Harrow, soon thereafter...

...The US Banking System: Origin, Development, and Regulation by Richard Sylla Currency note of one shilling, six pence, printed in the colony of New Jersey in 1776. (Gilder Lehrman Collection) Banks are among the oldest businesses in American history—the Bank of New York, for example, was founded in 1784, and as the recently renamed Bank of New York Mellon it had its 225th anniversary in 2009. The banking system is one of the oldest, largest, and most important of our industries. Most adult Americans deal with banks, often on a fairly regular basis. Nonetheless, banks and banking seem rather mysterious. What do banks do? Why have they for so long been an integral part of our economy? Why, as in the financial crisis that commenced in 2007, do banks every so often get into trouble and create serious problems for the country? Banks have two important economic functions. First, they operate a payments system, and a modern economy cannot function well without an efficient payments system. We make most of our payments by writing checks, swiping credit cards issued by banks or tied to them, and by paying bills via online banking. Most of the money stock of the country is in fact bank money; the rest of the currency is “legal tender” issued by the government, namely Federal Reserve Notes and coins. We have confidence in bank money because we can exchange it at the bank or an ATM for legal tender. Banks are obligated to hold reserves of legal tender to make these exchanges when we...

...To what Extent is Security a Necessary Precondition for Development? 1 Introduction The understanding of the relationship between security and development that drivesdevelopment policies of donor agencies and countries has varied throughout the past 60 years.During the Cold War, western donors had widely focussed on assisting their third World partners with aid to repel the communist threat. In the post Cold War period, while assistancehad sharply dropped, it was mostly disconnected from security interests. However, with theoccurrence of the 9/11 events, development assistance has rocketed once more as manyimportant players within the donor community have focussed their peace and statebuildingefforts on promoting security in the name of development in 'failed' and 'fragile states' (Beallet al. 2006). This logic presumes that before development can unfold, a secure environmenthas to be established, making security a necessary precondition for development. This is alsodescribed as a 'security first' approach to development. However, the human security (HS)concept contests this logic. While a 'security first' approach focuses mainly on the security ofWestern countries, human security emphasizes the security needs of the people living indeveloping countries, depicting daily threats as a critical source of insecurity. Therefore,human security clearly focuses on the improvement of long-term development, emphasizingthat development and security have to be equally promoted. Therefore...
