The double-edged Sword of Christianity
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Those who owned and worked slaves in the
United States felt they had a God given mandate to
do so, due to the color of the slaves skin and
their "inferior" human nature. Believing that God
has given you power, may make you very reluctant
to give it up that power. This attitude made the
mighty sword of Christianity, two edged - sacred
and profane.

The Effects of the Homestead Act on Frontier Life.
[ send me this paper ]
(20 pp - including 1 pp outline) The cry was FREE
LAND!! The Homestead Act of 1862 was one of the
most significant and enduring events in the
westward expansion of the United States. By
granting 160 acres of free land to claimants, it
allowed nearly any man or woman a chance to live
the American dream (this was after they paid their
$10 filing fee of course). Unfortunately for many
concerned, a dream, and the reality of life on the
frontier were two distinctly different realities.
Bibliography lists 12 sources.

The Emancipation Proclamation & Plessy v. Ferguson
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the potential problems generated by the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. The writer argues that Lincoln released the paper as an interventional measure to try and ensure that slavery was stopped without changing the inalienable rights of all U.S. citizens provided by the Constitution. His attempt was ambiguous and unsuccessful, however. On the other hand, it may be the Declaration of Independence that promoted the idea of separate rights for separate races and genders that still afflicts equality in America. The debate continues.... Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The End Of Slavery
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper discusses the end of slavery and the transition from slave labor to free labor. Relying on the work of Foner and Berlin and colleagues, the writer explains that the Reconstruction era was one of confusion and controversy. The first part of the essay critiques Foner's narrative in his book, including his use of the comparative model in Nothing But Freedom. A premise is offered: The transition from slave labor to free labor was more important to establishing post-war freedoms that was African-American military service. The statement is defended because the contribution of black regiments in the Civil War were soon forgotten. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
