    Constitutional Period/Critical Period/Federalist Period

    Ending the American Revolution, the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. During the war, the Articles of Confederation had been drafted, creating a confederation out of the colonies for the first time. Under the Articles, the government could not raise an army or tax. It also lacked centralized power because of the absence of an executive branch. The only strong aspect of the Articles was its orderly settlement of the west, as seen in the Land Ordinance of 1784 and 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Those in favor of a stronger central government became known as the Nationalists, and they wanted the federal government to have more power than the states’ governments. Their concerns were exemplified after Shay’s Rebellion in 1786. Although the rebellion was blown out of proportion, it convinced many that a stronger government was needed to control similar outbursts in the future.…

    While some differences between second wave empires and river valley societies are noticeable, the similarities are far more pronounced. In comparison to the initial civilizations discussed in chapter two, the second wave empires were much larger and significantly more powerful. However this is nothing special because through much of history, empires and political organizations grew continuously stronger and held more authority, parallel to the development and understanding of humans. In contrast, second wave empires maintained many of the traits of the initial such as the practice of monarchs, patriarchy,…

    Contemporary World History Chapters 1-4

    Chapter 1 talks about the industrial revolution and the changes it brought on. It started in Great Britain in the late 1790’s and spread violently across Europe. Countries that were dominated by the agriculture switched to a new industrial society. Many factories across the globe were created and helped modernize many cities. Material goods were produced at an alarming rate and were readily available for the consumer. With the boom of factories in city areas, job opportunities were available thousands of people and even for women. “The working classes constituted almost 80 percent of the population of Europe. New inventions were also being created to aid life for people. With the creation of the engine, new technologies such as the train, cotton gin, and later the automobile revolutionized how people and goods could move across vast areas. “The processing of liquid fuels-petroleum and it’s distilled derivatives-made possible the widespread use of the internal combustion engine as a source of power in transportation. There were also quite a few social changes. The wealth that the new industry brought was shared unequally and made the standard of living for the average person quite bad. Such living conditions spread anger and frustration which started many revolts across Europe. The industrial revolution also knocked to era of renaissance into the history books.…

    The Second Great Awakening

    In the early to mid 1800s, change grasped America in a way that it only had once before; another religious revival. The Second Great Awakening was a tidal wave of spirituality that quickly revolutionized America. While the first Great Awakening renewed interest in religion, the Second Great Awakening introduced new and original theology. Though, both Great Awakenings widened boundaries between classes and regions. Denominations were conceived based on personal beliefs like woman’s rights, slavery, and whether or not alcohol is acceptable. Liberalism became a vast part of everyday life as people decided that it was time to express their beliefs. The Second Great Awakening accelerated change through contemporary religions, higher education, and general culture.…

    The American Revolution: Turning Points In American History

    The American Revolution was one of the biggest turning points in American history. The revolution was a huge turning point because it turned America, a land owned and manipulated by Great Britain into a newly established country. The men and women who settled in America before the Revolution experienced hardships, unjust taxations, and had to oblige by the monarch’s rule. The revolution gave these people a chance to stand up for themselves as well as govern themselves. There were about 350,000 eligible men to fight in the American Revolution and more than 200,000 enlisted to fight. This shows how strong the American people felt about gaining their independence. Once the independence was won the American people began to formulate a government that was right for them. Through the Articles of Confederation, the new democratic ideology, first state constitutions, and even the Declaration of Rights, the country was well on its way to becoming well-constructed. Also, George Washington, our first president established that no president can serve more than two terms of the presidency, which removed all possibilities for dictatorship or creation of an imbalance of power. The new government system was created to be different than Great Britain’s. Since it was a government created for the people by the people, it helped…

    Thomas Paine once said, “Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered.” (134) An aphorism that he used in “The Crisis No.1” to reinforce the established truth that freedom isn’t always free. Patrick Henry’s speech in the “Second Virginia convention,” Thomas Paine’s “The Crisis No.1,” and Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence that include elements and rhetorical devices such as rhetorical questions, aphorisms, analogy, and logical structure reflect classicism, a philosophy which emphasized reason, logical structure, clarity, and self control.…

    The Postclassical Period

    Changes and continuities from the classical to the post-classical cover a wide range of political, cultural, religious and economic shifts as populations grew and societies became more complex. The classical empires of Rome, Han China, Gupta India and Archaemenid Persia fell due to external and internal forces and were replaced by the larger empires of the post classical Byzantine; Tsui, Tang and Song in China and the Caliphates in Persia. Only India did not return to an over reaching centralized empire. During the post-classical Dar el-Islam united much of Eurasia with a single religious adherence to Islam. Also, the largest empire the world was ever to see, the Mongols, rose during the post classical period. These large, complex empires altered governments and economies, more by scale than bringing about any revolutionary changes. Culturally people became more urban and with that urbanization the trends toward the loss of freedom for women and the gulf between rich and poor continued to widen. Religions that started in the Axis Age, the period of turmoil during the collapse of empires, such as Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism, found new adherents as their followers traveled the increasingly global land and maritime trade networks. Islam arose at the beginning of the post-classical period and in a short 200 hundred years enveloped all of southern Eurasia and north and east coastal Africa.…
