    AP UNITED STATES HISTORY summer reading

    1. Until quite recently, most American history textbooks taught that before Europeans invaded the Americas Indians were savages who lived in isolated groups and had so little impact on their environment that it remained a pristine wilderness. We now know from scientific discoveries that this account was wrong. What is the effect of learning that most of what we have assumed about the past is "wrong in almost every aspect," as Mann puts it on page 4?…

    History 484 Colonial America Research Paper

    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…

    Penny Synthesis

    The penny is a present day remembrance of one of the greatest presidents the U.S. has ever had and “the penny is perhaps the most visible and tangible reminder of Lincoln’s significance in American history” (press release). Lincoln’s Monument is just as important as the White House or any of the other monuments whether they are presented on a coin or even just known by many they are all there to protect and to preserve all the nations history and achievements. As shown on the Penny Visual, pennies have existed from what seems like the beginning it has adapted and has changed as did everything else but most importantly has helped preserve a piece of the nation. And if Congress bans the preservation of these pennies not only will it hinder this nations memory but erase its importance from the later generations.…

    Hiram W. Evans The Klan's Fight For Americanism

    Hiram W. Evans' "The Klan's Fight for Americanism" tries to enlighten audiences to his view point. That view point being the Klan's feeling that America is being lost to liberal ideologies and cold intellectualistic direction. He emphasizes the ‘de-Americanizing' issues facing the country such as the reason World War I occurred and why the Jews hold such control over financial institutions. He states the problem with the Klan's credibility lies in their lack of ability in public speaking, and current poverty conditions afflicting his infamous group. I plan to summarize this article in my opinion in what follows.…
