Big Woes for the “Little Magician” 1. Martin Van Buren, eighth president, was the first to be born under the American flag 2. An accomplished strategist and spoils man—the “wizard of Albany”—he was also a statesman of wide experience in both legislative and administrative life 3. From the outset the new president labored under sever handicaps a. As a machine-made candidate, he incurred the resentment of many Democrats—those who objected to having a “bastard politician” smuggled into office behind Jackson b. Mild-mannered Martin Van Buren seemed to rattle in the military boots of his testy predecessor; the people felt let down and Van Buren inherited the Jackson’s enemies c. Van Buren’s four years overflowed with toil and trouble; a rebellion in Canada in 1837 stirred up ugly incidents along the northern frontier and threatened to trigger war with Britain; the president attempted to play a neutral game d. The antislavery agitators in the North were in full cry; among other grievances, they were condemning the prospective annexation of Texas; worst of all, Jackson bequeathed to Van Buren the makings of a searing depression—hard times ordinarily blight the reputation o the president and Van Buren was no exception O. Depression Doldrums and the Independent Treasury 1. The panic of 1837 was a financial sickness of the times; its basic cause was rampant speculation prompted by a mania of get-rich0quickism—gamblers in western land s were doing a “land-office business” on borrowed capital, much of it the shaky currency of “wildcat banks”—the speculative craze spread to canal, roads, railroads, and slaves 2. But speculation alone did not cause the crash; Jacksonian finance, including the Bank War and the Specie Circular, gave an additional jolt to an already teetering structure a.

    Enlightenment Philosophers Dbq Analysis

    These questions helped me define terms such as philosophe, natural law and social sciences. This background information gave me a general understanding of the question I was to focus on during my analyzation of the ideas of John Locke, Voltaire, Adam Smith, and Mary Wollstonecraft. After completing the questions coinciding with each document, I was ready to write my essay on what the main idea was of the philosophers during the Enlightenment Period. As a result, I learned that the main idea of the Enlightenment Philosophers was that; for society to function it’s best, individual freedom must be recognized. I learned that John Locke believed in the dangers of a government that has too much power. I learned that Voltaire believed that a government should use it’s powers to promote tolerance of other religions. I also learned that Adam Smith had greater confidence in the individual- rather than the government- when making economic decisions. Finally, I learned that Mary Wollstonecraft in the necessity of education and equal opportunities for…

    Session 6.1

    - I chose the work of art of Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun. The artwork was called Marie-Antoinette and Her Children, which was painted in the year of 1787 with the medium of oil on canvas. This painting took place in Palace of Versailles in the country France. In comparison, I chose the composer Jean-Philippe Rameau and his selected work called Trait. This era had a main focus on Queens and Kings and it is known to be “The Age of Kings” (pg. 388). This also had significance with the settlement of three important countries and they were Dutch, the English, and the French. In both picture and music I can tell that there is a similarity because they share the same nationalities and it is brought out through painting and music. In the painting it has a focal point on the…

    Throughout history, art and ideas always change and different movement always transit from one to another. The time period, politics, religion, propaganda and place are what the art reflect. From 16th to 19th century, the art style that followed after the Renaissance and mannerism was the Baroque era. The baroque style was very distinguish and different from the previous era. It was somehow contradicting because it was grandeur yet asceticism. The style itself characterize by new exploration of form, play with light and shadow, space, colors, emotional and the intensity of dramatic.
