In focusing on the events throughout the year of 1776, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David McCullough gives students a deep understanding, from both sides of the conflict, of the events, people, and decisions that led to the creation of the United States. McCullough’s extensively researched work is filled with primary sources, reinforcing details and differing points of view on the events presented within the text, all of which makes 1776 an excellent text for use with the Common Core standards. This teacher’s guide provides a brief summary of 1776, divided by chapter and then subdivided by section. Each section summary includes a list of Key Features. Also provided for each chapter are the following supplementary teaching aids to spur discussion and challenge the student’s knowledge of the material: Key Terms and Vocabulary, Questions, Primary and Alternate Source Analysis, Activities and Projects, and for some chapters, an Interdisciplinary Activity.

  • The Great New York City Fire of 1835 by Michael Weinberg
    The Great New York City Fire of 1835 By Michael Weinberg eptember 11 (2001) was not the Sfirst dramatic and horrific conflagration to hit New York’s Lower Manhattan. One hun- dred sixty six years earlier, in December, 1835, a great fire ravaged Lower Man- hattan. Driven by gale- force winds, the 1835 blaze burned 17 city blocks (approximately 50 acres, about 3 blocks east of what would become Ground Zero) and destroyed nearly 700 buildings in the commercial heart of New York adjoining Wall Street. Among the buildings destroyed were the New York Stock Exchange, the Mercantile Exchange and dozens of ware- houses and dry goods import- ers in an area bordered on the north by Maiden Lane, on the west by Williams Street, on the south by Coenties Slip and on the east by the East River. Included in this path of destruction was a sig- nificant portion of Pearl Street, the address for a number of major New York importers of transferware (Townsend Harris, W. C. Green- field & Co., J. Greenfield; note that Harris & Chauncey was located on nearby Wall Street, as well).

  • The Origin and Development of Reinsurance
    22 NOTES ON ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF REINSURANCE NOTES ON THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF REINSURANCE BY EDWIN W. EOPF I. INTRODUCTION During the past few years there has been a quickening of interest internationally in the major aspects of reinsurance his- tory, theory and practice. The peculiar development of the national and international economy of the European countries since the World War has apparently made reinsurance the back- bone of the whole of private property insurance. This accounts fbr the greatly extended literature on the subject in recent years. Classic doctrines of risk, theorems in the calculus of probabilities, principles of insurance law, long neglected, are being brought forward by writers on reinsurance.* There is vitality and depth in recent reinsurance literature which has been lacking in the literature of the direct lines for many a decade. Thorin's recent work~2t is one sign of revival. Unfortunately:not much has been contributed to this discussion recently in the United States. Heri-mannsdorfer"5 has set forth admirably the aspects of the newer movement on the legal side. Crueiger, 9 Rendtorff- Golding$2 Moldenhauer, 56 Thorin$ 2 Villotte, 75 Hagens 2s and others have dealt with it effectively on the side of practice and with its broader economic and historical significance. The subject is of such scope and intricacy that no one author in recent years has been able to describe adequately more than a few aspects of reinsurance. The purpose of the present paper is to present notes and leading ideas which may, I hope, lead to more compre- hensive studies in this country, and possibly to the develop- ment of suitable texts in the English language for the use o~ our members and students.

The reason for that was largely religious; the English colonies of North America were overwhelmingly Protestant, and Protestants – especially the Puritans of colonial New England – placed special emphasis on the need for individuals to experience the word of God for themselves. To be sure, the level of literacy and the amount of reading that actually took place varied by race, gender, and region (among other variables). But it’s not an accident that one of the most important of the founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, became rich and famous as the publisher of refer- ence books known as almanacs and featuring his famous alter-ego, Poor Richard.

  • Economic Crisis and American Literature, 1819-1857 Dissertation
    Economic Crisis and American Literature, 1819-1857 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Kopec Graduate Program in English. The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Elizabeth Hewitt, Advisor Professor Steven Fink Professor Jared Gardner Professor Elizabeth Renker Copyright by Andrew Kopec 2013 Abstract My dissertation demonstrates how literary responses to the United States’ first widespread financial crises—the Panics of 1819, 1837, and 1857—gave form to the abstract but increasingly violent forces governing the brave new economic world. Previous economic critics, working under the rubric of the New Historicism, tend to emphasize how literature rehearses arguments about the U.S. economy at the level of theme or plot. Such scholarship, however, obscures how literary form itself conveys economic policy. Over the course of this project’s five chapters, I argue that Washington Irving’s picturesque sketches (1819-20), James Fenimore Cooper’s discursive romances (1821-23), Ralph Waldo Emerson’s transcendentalist addresses (1837), Catharine Maria Sedgwick’s didactic allegories (1836-37), and Herman Melville’s anti-novel (1857) are fundamentally concerned with the economic problems of panics, including excess, abundance, and scarcity. This literary engagement with panic reveals itself, for example, in the sprawling style of Cooper’s The Spy advocates the expansion of trade to spur the economy in the early 1820s. Performing opposite work, the carefully controlled allegory of Sedgwick’s “Who, and What, Has Not Failed” attempts to contain the rapid growth of the money ii supply in 1837.
