Post-Revolutionary Nationalism

Andrew Johnson was the President of the United States in a very difficult time, the Radical Reconstruction. During the Reconstruction, there were many items that Johnson was frowned upon for doing. Johnson was an insensitive man to public opinion and lacked political savvy. Also, Southern whites undercut Johnson’s lenient program of Reconstruction and played into the hands of so-called Radical Republicans in Congress who wanted to take away power from the executive branch. The author Donald explains how Johnson’s behavior was responsible for Radical Reconstruction and for the charges of impeachment lodged against him by members of his own party.

The war of 1812 pitted the young America against the large empowered force of Britain, as well as many native Americans. This war was a huge influential factor in the growth of America from that point on. Britain's tyrannical rule over America and Canada eventually brought America to war. Although they suffered many casualties, American troops pushed the redcoats back and boosted the nation's confidence. The outcome of this war affected America’s foreign policies, economy, and society as a whole.

Racism can be followed throughout history to the colonization of America to the Age of Imperialism in Britain. To this day the way that African Americans have been depicted has determined how they are treated. To fully understand the effects of propaganda, it is necessary to be able to answer the question, To what extent has the marginalization of African Americans contributed to social and political movements in the Civil Rights Era? This is significant because the racial tension in the United States has strengthened with the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The biggest accomplishment of this presidency was his program known as The New Deal, which Roosevelt introduced in the first one hundred days of his presidency as an attempt to reform the nation following war, depression, and greed. With the formation of the National Recovery Administration in June of 1933, industrialists were encouraged to establish fair working conditions, set prices, and minimize competition through “codes” which would ensure fair treatment of workers and promote the economy in general. The New Deal also sought to promote organization of labor through the Committee of Industrial Organization (CIO), which aimed to unionize major industries, even steel and automobiles (which had been extremely anti-union in the past). This is the most drastic shift that can be seen in the relationship between government and labor in the United States, and it is clearly in favor of the labor workers. This demonstrates that in the reform which seemed to end this period of unrest, the government finally began to consistently side with labor

Hanson and his Federalists affiliates on the two separate occasions. However, the same forces were present in other protests and mob functions in colonial and post-revolution America. Yet, those mobs rarely resorted to violence, especially murder and merciless beatings. One possible explanation as to why the mobs in Baltimore unexpectedly turned violent is that the European immigrant population of Baltimore City, united around a shared hatred of the British, developed powerful bonds in the preceding years because the city was founded on economic growth, not ancient social hierarchies or familial relations. There were reports of inter-Irish fighting in the midst of the riots, but German, Dutch, French, and Irish laborers in Baltimore City worked together on the docks and in the various public works projects.

What we believe as Americans came from this war. The principles of the war continue to influence us as a society. We reference for inspiration and enlightenment. We use quotes all the time in political cases or to prove one point or another. During the war many slave became free by running away.

This was due to a bombardment of many laws, taxes, and acts by the king and parliament that the colonies did not wish to obey anymore. The colonists in the United States of America felt that all of the things that Britain was asking for wasn’t fair. This was partly due to the fact that the colonists have no representatives in the British parliament and Britain was collecting taxes and money to reduce the debt for the French and Indian War. The first of these measures was The Stamp Act of 1765. It created a tax on newspapers, licenses, and most things that dealt with paper.

Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras all suffered from conflict as left wing guerrilla forces were assembled in reaction to the heavy handed military, causing a event nicknamed the Central American Crisis (Weeks 1986). It can be argued that the indiscriminate way that the USA supported political powers who identified as right wing even with knowledge of their human rights violations significantly contributed to the exodus that

According to Huntington , religion is argued to play a crucial role in cultural diversity and is highly dangerous to the stability of the state. Earlier concerns about social cohesion and security in multicultural societies have, in many ways, coalesced with concerns around countering religious radicalism and/or religious extremism. It is a fact that in areas where there is an indigenous white and historically Christian population alongside religious minority groups there exist a kind of parallel living without meaningful interaction between them . These led gradually to ghettoization and exacerbate racist behavior which disrupts the cohesion and puts the State in a constant turmoil. Representative example is ethnic and religious diversity of former Yugoslavia where multicultural diversities weren’t able to maintain the coherence of the scattered ethnic and religious region groups and led in war conflicts, secession and autonomy at areas where natives had common religion, language and national

Racial Profiling and the disproportionate use of police force are controversial political issues. Debates on racial bias in policing continue to reverberate across the country making headlines, aside from the importance of the debate on racial profiling and police use of force, such events create intergroup conflict, foreground stereotypes and trigger discriminatory responses. A serious issue in today’s society is the rising tension between the police force and the community which has developed through racial profiling and police brutality. In New York City, the controversial “stop, question, and frisk” policy was endorsed by some as essential for reducing crime rates (MacDonald 2001) and challenged by others as racially biased with a heavy burden placed on affected individuals and communities (Fagan et al. 2010).

The era of the Cold War was a tumultuous time where conflict arose in many aspects of American culture and international wars waged to prevent the spread of Soviet influence over other nations. U.S. foreign policy would see much intervention, where nations were used to engage in proxy wars. The United States’ domestic politics would see much panic among congress and many senators, where the looming fears of Soviet influence and communist spies altered how politicians and lawmakers conducted themselves and how laws were passed. The influence the cold War held on American society would have many civil liberties violated and ignored, tensions would erupt consequently leading to protests which see the fabric of tear as demonstrations and

The Anti-Imperialist League was an organization that included the likes of Andrew Carnegie and William James. The organization spoke out against the rising imperialistic characteristics that American was starting to acquire during the Spanish American War. For example, when Puerto Rico and the Philippines became American Colonies. The Filipinos rebelled against the ruling of their Island, but to no avail, they were beaten by America in a “Bloody, ruthless guerrilla war.” The league's document is formerly referred to as a Platform was founded in 1899 not long after the Spanish and American war.

Quebec is a province in Canada that was founded in 1867. The nationalist movement in Quebec, also known as the Quebec sovereignty movement, is a political movement that promotes the independence of the province from the country of Canada. This conflict was between the Catholic people of Quebec, also known as Québécois, and the Protestant people of the rest of Canada. It is often referred to as The Quiet Revolution because no violence takes place. The reasons behind sovereignty were due to Quebec’s fear of losing their unique culture because of the assimilation of the rest of the country.
