Manifest Destiny and American Imperialism:
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses the concept of “manifest destiny” that is best
described or explained as the concept that it was the obligation
of the founders of the United States, the “new” Americans, to
expand their territory into as many regions of North America as
possible regardless of the indigenous people already inhabiting
the land or settlers originally from Mexico. Manifest destiny was
one of the major motivations for American western expansion and
one of the primary causes of the U.S.-Mexican War. Many, if not
most, Americans believed that they had a God-given right to the
land to the west of their already established borders. Later in
the century, the US expansionist desires arose because of a
powerful industrial economy that wanted control of new lands in
the Pacific and Caribbean. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

by archaeologists.” Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Martin Luther King's Stride Toward Freedom
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the 1958 book that
rose from the year-long Montgomery Bus Boycott. There was nothing truly miraculous about the
boycott itself, but such was not the case in what happened in the collective black psyche in
Montgomery during the course of the boycott. Racial shame began to diminish among the black
population; it may have begun to grow among the town's whites. Standard methods of
intimidation lost their powers, even to the point that KKK cross burnings were less effective than
at any other time. The act of civil disobedience that launched the year-long boycott was a small
one. The results it accomplished were immense. Bibliography lists 1 source.
