Talking Points I Introduction– What is Leadership Leadership has been described as a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common goal. For example, some understand a leader simply as somebody who people follow, or as somebody who guides or directs others, while others define leadership as organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal. Studies of leadership have produced theories involving traits, situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and val- ues charisma, and intelligence, among others.

Talking Points serving as the first American ambassador to France and persuading the French to join with the Americans against the British in the Revolutionary War 4. Basically, he helped us win the Revolution and establish a government afterward, improved and/or saved the lives of many people, laid the electrical groundwork out for most all scientific advancements to date. 5. Aside from being an inventor and a poster-child for economic individualism, he was also a brilliant statesman and was one of the most instrumental people in crafting the United States' early treaties. John Adams 1. John Adams (1735-1826) was a leader of the American Revolution, and served as the second U.S. president from 1797 to 1801. The Massachusetts-born, Harvard-educated Adams began his career as a lawyer. Intelligent, patriotic, opinionated and blunt, Adams became a critic of Great Britain's authority in colonial America and viewed the British imposition of high taxes and tariffs as a tool of oppression. During the 1770s, he was a delegate to the Continental Congress. In the 1780s, Adams served as a diplomat in Europe and helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris (1783), which officially ended the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). From 1789 to 1797, Adams was America's first vice president. He then served a term as the nation's second president. He was defeated for another term by Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826). 2. Adams became an important leader in the fight for liberty.

Today, over 200 years later, our mighty war- ship dwarfs her namesake in size and power, but matches, without a doubt, the sense of pride and dedication in the knowledge that she has and con- tinues to serve her nation to the utmost of her abilities. Therefore, on this, our Ranger's 25th anniver- sary, it is only fitting that the man who began the great tradition of Ranger speak in her behalf. Our featured speaker for today's program is Capt.

    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Winter 2017 107 Hills, Huts, and Horse-Teams: The New Jersey Environment and Continental Army Winter Encampments, 1778-1780 By Steven Elliott DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v3i1.67 New Jersey’s role as a base for the Continental Army during the War of Independence has played an important part in the state’s understanding of its role in the American Revolution, and continues to shape the state’s image as the “Cockpit of the Revolution,” and “Crossroads of the American Revolution” today. This article uncovers how and why the Continental Army decided to place the bulk of its forces in northern New Jersey for two consecutive winters during the war. Unlike the more renowned Valley Forge winter quarters, neither New Jersey encampment has received significant scholarly attention, and most works that have covered the topic have presumed the state’s terrain offered obvious strategic advantages for an army on the defensive. This article offers a new interpretation, emphasizing the army’s logistical needs including forage for its animals and timber supplies for constructing winter shelters. The availability of these resources, rather than easily defended rough terrain or close-proximity to friendly civilians, led Washington and his staff to make northern New Jersey its mountain home for much of the war. By highlighting to role of the environment in shaping military strategy, this article adds to our understanding of New Jersey’s crucial role in the American struggle for independence. Introduction In early December, 1778, patriot soldiers from Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia arrived at the southern foothills of New Jersey’s Watchung Mountains and began erecting a log-hut winter encampment near Middlebrook.

  • The Financial Crisis That Contributed to the French Revolution by Walter S
    The Financial Crisis that Contributed to the French Revolution By Walter S. Zapotoczny Jr. “The revolution that was to sweep away the political institutions of France did not begin on 14 July 1789,” writes William Doyle in Origins of the French Revolution. On 20 August 1786 the comptroller-general of the royal finances, Charles-Alexandre de Calonne, went to King Louis XVI and informed him that France was on the brink of financial collapse. According to Calonne, the 1786 deficit would be 112 million livres (currency of France until 1795). This represented about a quarter of the annual revenue of France. When Louis XVI had come to power in 1774 the deficit had been 40 million, and had even fallen over the next two years. Since 1777, however, the deficit had risen steadily, largely due to an enormous rise in state borrowing and consequently in the annual interest and repayments that the treasury was obligated to disburse. While costs associated with the upkeep of King Louis XVI’s extravagant palace at Versailles and the frivolous spending of the queen, Marie Antoinette were high approximately 5 percent of public expenditures in 1788, the main reason for the overload of the government was the cost of war. In 1774, Louis XVI appointed Jacques Turgot to be the comptroller-general of the royal finances. Turgot believed that subsidies, regulations, and tariffs were crippling productivity and enterprise in France. He advised the king to end them, believing that business would thrive and revenues would increase. He proposed an ambitious reform program that included taking down internal custom barriers, lifting price controls on grain, abolishing the guilds and the forced labor service, and giving political power to newly created provincial assemblies.
