The Morning Herald was a newspaper released every day, except for Sundays in New York City from 1837 to 1840 and provides a look into what Antebellum America’s were reading and creating during that time. Many newspaper’s like the Morning Herald underwent significant changes in the Antebellum Period that created new experiences across mass audiences and enhanced the feeling of national connectivity in the United States. While, newspapers contained informational stories on events that were happening, they also consisted of many advertisements that reflect what Antebellum Americans were spending their money and time on. The Morning Herald, in particular, had a variety of different business advertisements, but the most common were for confectionaries,…
I have e-mailed you, and I have set up an appointment to discuss the choice I should make concerning my topic for this research paper and presentation. I have always been interested in American history, but it seems as though I never gave much thought to the particular time period in which I am most interested. I have concluded however, that I do not know much about Colonial America. Every time I would sit down and begin to delve deeper into a topic I believed I might want to write about, I would realize that it did not fall under that “Colonial” category. I am interested in the study of the history of women, and I know that until the Women’s Movement of the 1960s, not much had been…
Colonial ideology was spread rapidly through political cartoons and propaganda, and through the idea that they were not simply colonists anymore—they were now American. Other than printed publications, the American identity and view was spread through groups such as the Sons of Liberty, who would provoke the British in an attempt to get other colonists to join their cause. In fact, they would not just irritate the British, they would go to extreme efforts in order to elicit a response from them and proceed to spread the American version of the story—even if it wasn’t always veritable. Their radical actions, such as the Gaspee incident and the Boston…

America had the most media, the cheapest media, and the freest media by the 1840’s. Communication through the media was vital to America in the early 1800’s because, as a democratic nation, the people needed to be well informed about their system of government. Following the American Revolution, the United States stayed from their traditional English ideas involving the relationship between the state and the people. Unlike Great Britain’s selective press and seditious libel laws, information and communication regarding government issues was necessary for democracy to thrive. Key factors that contributed to the growth of American media were the role of the post office, cheap print, growing literacy, and the First Amendment.…

The early colonies were hell, if you were thinking of moving to Virginia during the 1620’s, I would have one thing to say DON’T. Those who inhabited England had no inclination to move thousands of miles to a new place, away from home, chasing some folly like wealth or adventure. Even though, the new colonies offered many things: affluence, freedom, land; there was a singular guarantee: STRUGGLE.…
The news in America's newspapers in the first six months of 1754 was not good. England's long-time enemy and challenger for control of North America, France, had, with the assistance of Native American allies, scored a series of victories over English colonial troops from the backcountry of Virginia through New England. Fear that France would soon make a move to drive all the English out of North America seemed ready to become reality. A distraught Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie had warned the colony's assemblymen that the very "Welfare of all the Colonies on this Continent" was in jeopardy from the French and their Native American friends. To make sure the House of Burgesses members truly understood the implications of the threat, the governor painted this bloody portrait of what awaited all the English if the French and their allies were not stopped:…
During this time, the number of artists must have increased incredibly as demand increased. There must have been a new market for less-expensive pieces like portraits and landscapes. This would open the door to lesser artists who would work for less money and create art on a much less grandiose scale. Of course, many lesser works have been lost since they were not worthy of preservation in a museum.…
The way news is shared in the United States has changed dramatically with the proliferation of the Internet. This has allowed the way people consume news to become a more personalized experience. With that said, however, specific news outlets provide information in very different ways, with information becoming more localized as the scope of the publication shrinks. National newspapers such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal offer coverage of large issues that affect many more people than just those of the east coast. Regional newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune and the Detroit Free Press offer some of the similar stories that are covered in those previously mentioned papers with a more localized viewpoint and these are balanced by stories of a more regional aspect such as state and local elections, sporting events and business news that affects the region. Local newspapers such as the Kalamazoo Gazette offer a very local approach, covering stories that include local schools, small businesses and local events. These are balanced by presenting information about national issues that have been previously reported in other outlets.…
