The bill of rights talked about the usage of common law, freedom in religion, population representation in legislative, and the jury were allowed to do a trial in court (260). The third was about the get rid of slavery from the Northwest area (260).

President Woodrow Wilson’s most famous speech to Congress is known as the Fourteen Points Speech. It was given on January 8, 1918, and it developed in response to the various causes of the war. This speech outlined the points which Wilson considered fundamental for peace to last, and it was meant to establish moral goals for the participation of the United States in World War 1. President Wilson used the fourteen points to create the basis of the Treaty of Versailles. In fact, the points were used to establish negotiations after the war ended.

“Kennedy is the first U.S. president to say publicly that segregation is legally and morally wrong” (n.pag Charles Johnson) This was one of the true moments where we see segregation take a turn for the best in the

In my opinion I think that Woodrow Wilson did the most to define American foreign policy in the twentieth century. In the 20th century the United States were involved in two world wars and along with its allies defeated its enemies and also increasing its international reputation. President Woodrow Wilson made the Fourteen Points which were developed from his idealistic Wilsonianism program of spreading democracy and fighting militarism so as to end wars. The Fourteen Points were the basis of the German Armistice and the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. The USA never joined the League of Nations, which was established from Wilson Fourteen points.

The man in the picture above is Woodrow Wilson. He is creator of the fourteen points, which is the topic for my assignment. The fourteen points were created during the first world war. They called for a peaceful end to world war 1. Woodrow Wilson received the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize, as the fourteen points were successful in peacefully ending the war.

(Mackenzie, 1). This gift and loan helped Britain maintain the strength of their war efforts for the rest of the year. The total amount of financial assistance Canada gave to Britain during World War 2 adds up to a little over $3 billion (Stacey, The Industrial Contribution), approximately $40.7 billion today. As a result of the Canadian government’s efforts, Canada was turned into an effective and exceptionally significant producer of munitions and war

“If anyone wants to go to hell in a hurry, there are greased banks aplenty in Miami.” Said a distressed minister, who watched as other states enacted the prohibition before Miami (KCTS9, 1). 1919-1933 was a time of war between the ‘dry’ members and the ‘wet’ members. It all started in 1917 when Woodrow Wilson implemented a temporary wartime prohibition when the United States entered World War I, in order to save grain for producing food (history.com, 4). Though it was only supposed to last for a stipulated seven-year time limit, the amendment caught on, and received the necessary three-quarters of U.S. states in just 11 months.

The United States didn’t enter the war until 1917 because of their policy of isolationism, but they entered because Germany sunk a British ship that had 128 American passengers on board, Germany sent Mexico a telegram trying to form an alliance, and America had loaned the allied powers lots of money and didn’t want to lose it if they lost. The United States also changed their foreign policy from isolationism to involved in world

These full body scanners, which Chertoff had a hand in getting into the airports, were “heavily criticized (and little tested)”, and were sold by a company which was a client of Chertoff’s consulting agency (Turley, 3). Another example is Dick Cheney. He was the CEO of Halliburton, a company associated with numerous U.S. war scandals, prior to holding the office of Vice-President. How telling is it that “the company (Halliburton) made $217,199 in campaign contributions in 2004, and in the same year was awarded $8 billion in military contracts” (Newton, 229). According to Turley, hundreds of billions of dollars annually go towards the cost of war, the taxpayers’ money flowing into the arms industry’s pocket, and those agencies and contractors are trying to keep it that way.

Although during the war, Canada was willing to defend its empire Britain and send out thousands of men to fight and stand beside Britain. Military of Militia, Sam Hughes and former Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party , Sir Robert Borden trained Canadian men who volunteered and who were willing to join the war to protect Canada and Britain. Sam Hughes trained all volunteered men at Valcartier and prepared them for one of the most bloodiest and devastating battles Canada has ever entered. On August 1914, war is officially declared between Great Britain, Germany and Canada. Canada was not prepared for this war at all with only a standing army of 310 trained men.

Following the 9/11 attacks, the government authorized a large increase in funds and programs designed to improve domestic security. On October 8, 2001, the Office of Homeland Security was created, first led by former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge. On November 25, 2002, the Department of Homeland Security was established as a single Cabinet agency at a cost of thirteen billion dollars (Amadeo). Over the ensuing months and years, Congress passed a host of bills that addressed a wide range of homeland security concerns. In December 2001, Congress provided $8.3 billion in emergency aid to "enhance security at federal agencies ' domestic facilities" (Wright and Ichniowski).

Esmé Hassell-Thean Mr. Blenner AP United States History 12th of March 2016 The controversial politics of Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt is one of America’s most famous Presidents and today his legacy lives on, admired by both liberals and conservatives alike. However, in his day Roosevelt would have been considered left wing and the conservatives of the early 1900s would have frowned upon his policies.

As much as the United States wanted to stay neutral during World War I, it proved impossible. This meant the United States had to raise the forces and money to wage war. The United States had desperately tried to stay neutral. However, ties to Britain, propaganda, the sinking ships by German U-boats, and a German attempt in the Zimmermann Note to get Mexico to declare war on the U.S pushed the United States to get involved. Thus, the President during this mayhem is the most important figure for America.
