Compare And Contrast Cray Jr And Machin
The accounts of Cray Jr. and Machin provide a contrasting representation of the early 1800s. While Cray Jr. presents a powerful nationalism that swept across the United States during this time, Machin details the embodiment of greed and getting into harm’s way emerging out of the Embargo with Britain. Between these two, the more powerful influence on daily life during this time-period was the nationalism which arose from the events of the Chesapeake affair.

The nationalism that emerged from the Chesapeake affair was seen as powerful as a call to arms. “The bombardment of the USS Chesapeake by the HMS Leopard not only led to the commemoration of a common soldier, but also inspired a call to arms shaped by revolutionary recollections.” The

    1776 A Superior War Book Summary

    General Washington and his army delivered that freedom, “and all that was promised by the Declaration of Independence” (McCullough 291). The American people’s shear joy after the patriots defeated the Red Coats in the final battle at Trenton is clearly expressed by revolutionary-era writer Mercy Otis Warren when she said there were “perhaps so people on earth whom a spirit of enthusiastic zeal is so readily kindled, and burns so remarkably, as among Americans” (McCullough 291).…

    Why Is Benedict Arnold Considered A Loyalist Or Traitor

    American history has traditionally considered loyalists as traitors and American patriots as heroes during American Revolutionary War. As the history had written, loyalists or “Tories” as their opponents called them, were traitors during American Revolutionary War. However, is it moral when American patriots called those people are traitors while they betrayed the people who first discovered America, which is the British? This essay will focus on connection between loyalist and traitor; the essay will first define the meaning of loyalist and traitor during American Revolutionary War and thereafter will compare a contrast with Joseph Brant and Benedict Arnold.…

    The Change in Sectionalist and Nationalistic Feelings in America

    At the start of the second decade in the 19th century, American was going through tough times. The War of 1812 was raging causing destruction throughout America while many domestic issues divided the nation. One of the most major issues was the New England Colonies’ feelings of sectionalism while the South was as nationalistic as ever. In 1820 however, the roles reversed as the South became the regionally favored area while New England became a larger support of the country. This swap is due to the economic changes that occurred between 1815 and 1820. Economic developments such as trade tariffs, slavery issues and the industrial revolution created a new commercial environment adjusting the views of the citizens of said regions. Without this economic shift, the Northern States would have garnered more support to break away from the US while the South would have wanted to preserve the union.…

    Review of Cogliano's Revolutionary America

    After having a thorough read through of Francis Cogliano痴 book detailing The American Revolution, I feel that he provides a refreshing look at that period of time, giving the reader an engaging and easily accessible look at early colonial times and their lives. Once I began reading through the book I believed that Cogliano had a clear and simple objective with what he was trying to create, to a piece of literature that could be classed as a modern and accessible way to look at the subject at hand aimed primarily at the undergraduate students. Whilst this work could easily be put to use for undergraduates that wish for a much deeper study into American history, it can also be useful for an A-level student or even someone not in education if they wish understand the key themes and events of what had happened in that period.…

    Warhawks Influence

    Before the war of 1812 many historical events took place that impacted the cause of the War of 1812. The “Warhawks” were directly influenced and philosophically invoked by various actions. “Sir, our vessels is now captured when destined to the ports of France”, is a quote from the Annals of Congress (DOC B). The significance of the quote is in relation to outside foreign influences that invigorated “Warhawk” theology. As a result, agitators of the War of 1812 are also influenced by the similar quote “But we are asked, are we willing to bend the neck of England; to submit to her outrages” (DOC K). Therefore, the quote corroborates with the thesis…

    Nationalism and Sectionalism in America During the Late 1700s and Early 1800s

    America was founded by multiple states, from different regions and subsequently different styles of life, which made the possibility of their union unstable and uncertain. But, because they were united by a common goal- to break free of Britain’s despotic sovereignty- the American colonies were able to win their independence from Britain and become the United States of America. This dichotomy between the states’ different styles of life and their shared goal laid the foundation for the forces of nationalism and sectionalism in the US. The two opposing forces worked hand-in-hand to manipulate Americans’ views of one another and the American political and economic systems, though the force of sectionalism outweighed the force of nationalism in the US. In the nineteenth century especially, there were many events and trends that facilitated the forces of nationalism and sectionalism, including wars, like the American Civil War, institutions, like the First and Second Banks of the US, and eras, like the Era of Good Feelings.…

    The Role Of Nationalism In The Early 19th Century

    Nationalism was a very successful political force in the early 19th century. It unified the nation through a common sense of patriotism and identity. America began to form its own identity since it had been an official nation for over a century. Many factors contributed to this growing sense of nationalism.. In addition, America had already won several wars, such as the Battle of the Alamo and the Battle of New Orleans, and its military was gradually becoming stronger. As a result, many Americans felt proud to live in America and nationalism increased. Communication among Americans also increased with the invention of Morse Code and the telegraph. These inventions and the new transportation systems paved the way for a unified country. Economically,…

    War Of 1812 DBQ

    This is reflected by John Krimmel’s “Fourth of July Celebration” (Doc C), in which people are celebrating the anniversary of their nation’s independence. According to Document H “Diary of John Quincy Adams,” because the U.S. survived their second war with Britain, Adams didn’t feel that the U.S. should “take a position subordinate to that of Great Britain”; instead, it should “take a stand…to the decline of the overture of Great Britain.” Furthermore, the U.S. developed the notion that it was destined to expand across all of America (Manifest Destiny), which is later reflected in the migration of Americans into the territory of the Louisiana Purchase. Lastly, the American Industrial Revolution led to an increased demand for cotton from the south. This shows how Northern and Southern economies were thus strongly interconnected (which alludes to a unified country and a heightened sence of nationalism. Even though these immediate effects of the War of 1812 mostly demonstrated the rise of nationalism, the immediate effects gave way to the later, more enduring and influential…

    Was the War of 1812 Pointless?

    The War of 1812 proved to be the most serious challenge to face the United States since the country's birth. This ‘Second war of Independence' perhaps changed American history as we know it though. This essay will discuss the causes for this war assessing whether there actually were valid reasons for the United States and Britain going to war or whether the whole 1812 war was just born out of "pointless aggression"…

    War 1812

    The eighteenth and nineteenth century was a period of constant war within North America, there was the Seven Years War of 1754, the American Revolution of 1775 and the War of 1812. This paper will focus on the War of 1812 and its impact on the North American community. The War of 1812 did not have a single winner or loser; it was a war that was fought till it ended with a peace treaty in December 1814. This war can be simply described as a war between people still loyal to the British crown and people fighting for freedom and their own identity. The War of 1812 has been described as a civil war that pitted members of a North American community against each other; yet this is a false statement since the North American community was already pitted against each other.…

    Volumes have been written on the subject of the struggle between England and America. Men of all ranks have embarked in the controversy, from different motives, and with various designs; but all have been ineffectual, and the period of debate is closed. Arms, as the last resource, decide this contest; the appeal was the choice of the king, and the continent hath accepted the challenge.…
