  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Crossing How George Washington
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Crossing How George Washington Saved The American Revolution by Jim Murphy The Crossing: How George Washington Saved The American Revolution by Jim Murphy. The Crossing is a 80 page children's book that highlights the early battles of the American Revolution when George Washington is chosen to command the Continental army in 1775. Washington had some military experience but the Continental army did not and they were facing a well- trained, large British army. The British invasion begins in New York and the Continental army faced lost battles and men who deserted. As Washington's army decreased in size and he lost or retreated from battle, he was becoming increasingly worried that he might not be able to train the army to defeat the British. The decisive battle that turned the tide of the war, in favor of the Continental army took place after Washington crossed the Delaware river in the middle of the night. The Crossing is an excellent historical retelling of the beginning of the American Revolution. It is full of maps, pictures, and even gives a description of the famous painting on the cover by Emmanuel Gottlieb Leutze. If you want to know the true story of the beginning of the American Revolution told in eloquent, simplified text you need to check out The Crossing. The American army was truly the underdog in this war with the British and it makes you understand the significant odds that Washington was up against. The Crossing contains an extensive travel guide to sites of the Revolution, an index, a timeline and a list of books to continue to feed your inquisitive mind.

It's not even past." William Faulkner NOT EVEN PAST Tweet 1 Like THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN The Civil War of 1812: American Citizens, British Subjects, Irish Making History: Houston’s “Spirit of the Rebels, & Indian Allies by Alan Confederacy” Taylor (2010) by James Jenkins The War of 1812 was not a war between two nations, but rather a civil war, in which “brother fought brother in a borderland of mixed peoples.” Alan Taylor focuses on the U.S.-Canada borderland, which stretched from Detroit to Montreal. Before the war, the distinctions between British subjects and American citizens in the region remained uncertain. The British asserted that their empire’s subjects remained subjects May 06, 2020 for life, precisely when a stream of Irish people were migrating to the United States. Moreover, immigrants More from The Public Historian from the United States made up the majority of Upper Canada (present-day Ontario).

KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

    Directions: Read the following excerpt from Alan Taylor’s The New Nation, 1783–1815. Answer the following questions. 1. Why did Thomas Jefferson consider his election in 1800 a “revolution”? Symbolism of the presidency Financial policy Was it revolutionary? (your opinion) 2. Why did Jefferson seek to purchase Louisiana? How did it contradict his philosophy? 3. What caused conflict with England during the Jefferson administration? 4. What was the Embargo Act of 1807? What were the results of the Embargo Act? 5. Why did the War Hawks want to invade Canada and declare war on Great Britain? 6. Summarize the course of the war of 1812. 7. How did the Federalists resist Democratic Republican policies? What event resulted in the “death” of the Federalists? 8. How did the Federalists “survive” in America after their party faded away? Northern Economic Policy Marshall Supreme Court From The New Nation, 1783–1815 By Alan Taylor (Gilder Lehrman Institute) In the election of 1800, the Republicans prevailed because the Sedition Act and federal taxes proved so unpopular. After a heated race Jefferson won the presidency by seventy-three electoral votes to sixty-five for the Federalist John Adams. The Republicans captured control of Congress as well. In subsequent elections, the Republicans would build their majority, as the Federalists faded. The Friends of the People had triumphed over the Fathers of the People. But their people were white: Jefferson’s new postmaster general fired all the free blacks working in his department. Because the election of 1800 swept the Federalists from power, Jefferson called his victory the “Revolution of 1800.” His victory vindicated the principle that the republic’s rulers should attend carefully to public opinion and should avoid preaching deference to the common people.

  • Lindsay—Spring 2015 (Initial Syllabus)
    American Legal History Seminar—Lindsay—Spring 2015 (initial syllabus) LIBERTY, EQUALITY & CITIZENSHIP IN UNITED STATES HISTORY (American Legal History Seminar: Law 864—512) Professor Lindsay Course Overview In a formal, legal sense, “citizenship” refers to the set of rights and obligations that a person acquires by virtue of his or her membership in a political community. As an object of political and cultural discourse, however, the concept of citizenship is often freighted with a much broader set of questions: What does it mean to be American? What are the indices of full membership in the American polity? Who can satisfy the conditions of full membership at a given moment in history, and who cannot? To what kinds of rights and opportunities is a citizen entitled? In this Seminar, we will examine how the meaning of American citizenship has been transformed between the nation’s founding and the middle of the twentieth century. We will consider how both the content of, and criteria for admission to, full citizenship have evolved in relation to profound upheavals in American life and labor, and the gradual, if halting, ascendency of racial and gender egalitarianism. In doing so, we will place particular emphasis on two foundational, yet perpetually contested and remarkably protean, elements of American civic identity: “liberty” and “equality.” Class Meetings: Wednesday, 6:15-9:00 p.m., in AL 109 Office Hours: Tuesday, 2:00-4:00, and by appointment, in AL 513 Course Materials Required Text: ERIC FONER, THE STORY OF AMERICAN FREEDOM (1998) [available at the UB Bookstore] Additional required readings will be posted on TWEN.

  • Alan Taylor Credit Bites Back
    When Credit Bites Back: Leverage, Business Cycles and Crises Òscar Jordà,1 Moritz HP. Schularick,2 Alan M. Taylor3 Working Paper No. 20 ABSTRACT This paper studies the role of credit in the business cycle, with a focus on private credit overhang. Based on a study of the universe of over 200 recession episodes in 14 advanced countries between 1870 and 2008, we document two key facts of the modern business cycle: financial-crisis recessions are more costly than normal recessions in terms of lost output; and for both types of recession, more credit-intensive expansions tend to be followed by deeper recessions and slower recoveries. In additional to unconditional analysis, we use local projection methods to condition on a broad set of macroeconomic controls and their lags. Then we study how past credit accumulation impacts the behavior of not only output but also other key macroeconomic variables such as investment, lending, interest rates, and inflation. The facts that we uncover lend support to the idea that financial factors play an important role in the modern business cycle. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco 2 John-F.-Kennedy-Institute, Free University of Berlin 3 Department of Economics, University of Virginia JEL Codes: C14, C52, E51, F32, F42, N10, N20 The authors gratefully acknowledge financial support through a grant from the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) administered by the University of Virginia.
