The Era of Reconstruction 1865-1877
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) "What was real and fundamental was the
idealism and the nobility of the two contending
forces: the Yankees struggling to save the Union,
dying to make men free; the Confederates fighting
for great Constitutional principles, defending
their homes form invasion." Thus begins Kenneth

The Founding Fathers of the Republic of the United States of
America
[ send me this paper ]
This 9 page report discusses the “founding fathers” of
the United States of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The paper
is written under the understanding that the earliest leaders of
the country were bold enough to stand up for freedom and
independence. Such leaders saw that domination and taxation by
England was antithetical to their very existence and they took
action, revolutionary action, to change that situation and
determine their new nation’s own destiny. The group that has come
to be known collectively by the relatively generic title of “the
founding fathers” was actually a diverse group of men with varied
and equally intense interests, opinions, beliefs and prejudices.

The Hartford Convention
[ send me this paper ]
13 pages in length. The Hartford Convention, which took place from December 15, 1814 until January 4, 1815, was assembled as a means by which to assess New England's problems that were directly associated with the War of 1812. Before the outbreak of war, the New England Federalists had
objected to the 1807 Embargo Act, as well as various other government actions. Even the war's commencement did not deter the ongoing Federalist opposition. Repulsed by the exorbitant expenditures of the war – even though its
existence meant substantial income – the Federalist leaders attempted to impart estrangement; as such, national service was not successful in acquiring the New England states' militia, particularly when an invasion in 1814 threatened their existence. According to Harrison Gray Otis, the acknowledged author of the convention plan: the delegates were to discuss ways and means of sectional defense and to take steps to revise the United States Constitution to accord with sectional interests. The writer offers a brief overview of the Hartford Convention, as well as discusses whether or not it was a sectionalist movement that served to strengthen secession as a tool of states' rights or weaken it. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
