Mary Wollstonecraft Analysis

616 Words3 Pages

The ordinary course of this newspaper hath veered off course I’m afraid, in response to the libel and slander many a people hath spread about me I am here to defend my good name! I am Mary Wollstonecraft and I shan’t sit here idle while those who would love to tarnish my good name get away! But what you have gotten right with your shameful sewing circle gossip-talks is that I did write a piece about the president that did have words that would be considered sedition. But what you misconstrued was your contention that I was trying to incite rebellious nature or spread vicious hate against our commander in chief in part as well the government, when in reality that’s furthest from the truth. My whole mission in writing was to point out that …show more content…

Simply because it’s much like Britain with its vast army, history as in how old it is thus they’ve had more time to learn to be politically correct as in binding tight treaties, and so on. Even more so some have stepped in the ring and said that we should help the French with their revolution, but I say woe to those of you who think this is the righteous path. Yes, they’ve helped with reasons of their own, they got what they had wanted during that time and that was to stick it to the British. We are an independent country now that needs time. We’ve had massive causalities and I’d hate to see one more soul especially for a war that’s not of our own making go to their graves at such a young age! We are not blood thirsty monsters, but if we are to be fair I would agree perhaps that we give some money or arms but at whatever cost our nose belongs where it is and shouldn’t go no further. In conclusion I most highly respect our wonderful government, I just am worried for the safety of our livelihood and are men who may go to war. But at the same time I do more than full-hardheartedly agree with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison who made a point of proving that this act is unconstitutional and I say to you that you should perhaps peak and listen to their

    215 Words  | 1 Pages

    Condemned for her loyalties and grieving the loss of her brothers and son, Mary’s life was still to be drastically affected by the war. While continuously in fear for her husband’s safety, Ruth Painter describes how Mary also found herself a convenient target to the enemy for, “to tear down the wife was to tear down the husband.” Returning home alone one day, Mary Lincoln was in a terrible carriage accident after it had been intentionally tampered with in an attempt on the president’s life.

On another occasion, Mary fell under the clever and manipulative spell of Henry Wikoff.

  • Mary Surratt's Boardinghouse Analysis

    647 Words  | 3 Pages

    Everyone knows the name and deeds of John Wilkes Booth, who became the first person to successfully assassinate a United States president, as well as one of the most memorable names in American history. Fewer know of Booth’s several conspirators, eight to be exact, who provided the former actor with the supplies and support necessary to commit the heinous crime. Even fewer still know the name of Mary Surratt, a Southern loyalist who, on July 7, 1865, joined Booth on the list of infamous American historical figures by becoming the first woman to be hanged in the still-juvenile country. Surratt ran a boardinghouse in Washington D.C. where the majority of the conspiratory meetings were held in 1865, leading President Johnson to declare Mary Surratt had “kept the nest that hatched the egg” (Norton, 1996). Surratt’s role as the primary supplier and facilitator of the assassination plot has led many to declare her hanging as entirely justified, while other say mercy should have been take for a variety of reasons.

  • Mary Lincoln's Role In The Bloody War

    Finding herself in the spotlight during a tense and bloody war, Mary Lincoln faced the unfortunate coincidence of being both southern born and the wife of a Unionist leader. “An obvious point of attack upon a First Lady with relatives fighting on the Confederate side was disloyalty. She was accused of acting as a rebel spy,” Ruth Painter describes as she further explains how the hatred and spite targeted at Mary Lincoln was reserved specifically for traitors. In addition, William Evans comments how, “the extreme elements in the South, on the other hand, hated Mrs. Lincoln because, in point of fact she was intensely loyal to her husband and to the Union cause.” Just as one feels the effects of a physical wound, so was Mary Lincoln seared by

  • In 1798 As A Result Of The Alien Act Of 1977 Dbq Federalists

    When the United States in involved in a war, I think we should back our country and especially our citizens that are in the military as a result of the willing to stand up as commanded and be in harms way for our country and because of the war. Even though I may not agree with Americans publicly opposing a war, they have the right to do it and I owe them the courtesy and respect afforded them in the Constitution as free speech and if their “free speech” transcends into a crime then there are other laws to deal with them appropriately. Actions sanctioned by the Alien and Sedition Acts such as restriction of freedom of speech and the press, do not make the United States safer, but do harm the basic tenets of our Constitution. Other laws are in place to prosecute people who cross the threshold into treason and similar crimes under the guise of free
