    Why Is Charles 1 A Crisis

    It could be argued that George purposely used his position on the Privy Council and his ‘good looks’ to gain his position to Charles’ predecessor, as a ‘secret Catholic’. This could account for his ill advice towards both kings. It is known fact that George’s mother was Catholic who selected his wife, Katherine, who was a ‘strict Roman Catholic’ herself. Therefore, it does arguably raise suspicion towards George’s true intentions of seeking the affection and attention of the kings. During this era, Protestantism strived; Catholicism was hated amongst the realm.…

    Louis XIV And The Exclusion Crisis

    Charles’s abuse of his prerogative powers , proroguing parliament seven times and dissolving parliament three times suggests that Charles was unable to work with parliament which meant his position was weakend after exclusion . For example he could no longer legislate, relied on cooperation of the Tory Anglicans and it worsened fears of absolutism. Furthermore, these fears were emphasised with Danby and his pensions and the test bill in 1675. Parliamentary fears of absolutism limited Charles powers as the passed the Second test act and the Habeas Corpus amendment act. Historians such as Zoosk, argue that there were underground movements after the exclusion crisis and the fact that the issue of exclusion is repeated during James II’s rule suggests that Hutton is correct in saying there were still unresolved tensions. Lastly, exclusion worsened fears of absolutism as without a parliament, it meant Charles II relied on Louis XIV for money and alongside Montagu’s revelations, it created fears especially in the atmosphere of fears of universal…

    Reasons For Failure Of Reconstruction

    Reconstruction was a missed opportunity regarding efforts to help ex-slaves that resulted in chaos, economic loss, and social isolation to the South. First, Reconstruction was a lost hope because instead of restoring law and order and reconciliation, the South became a land of chaos due to lawlessness. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a white-supremacist organization, brought terror to the south as members of the organization used violence as their weapon to bring about the collapse of the Reconstruction. The KKK terrorized newly freed blacks to deter them from utilizing their new rights of freedom, eliminating black independence and destroying their political rights . Although, Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization…

    Failure of Reconstruction

    Reconstruction was the period from 1865-1877 where the government of the United States tried to put the country together again after the Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln lived briefly during this period (assassinated) and set the template for reconstruction. The Vice President Andrew Johnson who is described as lacking Lincoln’s moral sense and political judgment, became President and followed the template while adding his own ideas to it. During Johnson’s presidency reconstruction proved to be a hardship that was difficult to establish in a way where everyone could be happy. Although reconstruction succeeded in achieving things that wasn’t before, ultimately it was a failure and a monumental disaster. In general, many consider it an ineffective attempt for a number of reasons.…

    Reasons For Failure Of Reconstruction

    Reconstruction was the period of time after the Civil War where rebuilding after the war and segregation were a huge part of the American culture. The rebuilding of the U.S. was a vital part of our countries history and showed how well we handle situations such as slavery. The United States basically took free slaves and segregated them so they would never be in the contact or presence of whites. The chosen president for our important time of need was the worst decision they could have made at that time. Reconstruction started dangerous riots and clans and caused the rebuild process to be a complete failure.…

    Reconstruction or Disfranchisement:

    After the Civil War, the South’s economy was devastated and was filled with angry whites who were frustrated over the emancipation of slavery. They wished to change the social status of African Americans and suppress them once again. The post-war South was in a state of chaos. In hopes to solve this problem, Lincoln established a Reconstruction Plan. Reconstruction was meant to tackle the issues through the re-admittance of southern states into the Union while rebuilding the south’s economy, and giving equality to the newly freed African Americans. However, Congress’ Reconstruction plan failed due to political disharmony between the Democrats and the Radical Republicans. The Democrats felt superior to African Americans and did not want them to have equal rights while the Radical Republicans wanted to eliminate the power of the former slaveholders, give African Americans full citizenship and the right to vote. Lastly, the plan failed because of the prejudice against blacks by Southern whites. Therefore, instead of the South ensuring the rights to the freedmen; they not only successfully disfranchised them, but placed them in a class based on inferiority and discrimination.…

    Reconstruction

    Friday April 12, 1861, America embarked into war with its biggest adversary; America! The American Civil War broke out, and what was believed to be a quick battle by the North, turned out to be a long bloody four years and left the country devastated. President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, successfully lead this country through its greatest constitutional, military and moral crisis. Everything he did was in the best interest in preserving this nation to what it is today. If President Lincoln task of preserving the union would have failed, our nation would be a split nation today. All the events of the Civil War are what truly shaped the face of America today. The President knew that if he wanted to preserve this nation as a whole, not only would he have to win the war, but he would have to have a plan in place to immediately fix the nation to help it move forward from war. During his time in the white house and towards the end of the war, when it was evident the North would prevail, he worked on a reconstruction plan to get the South up and moving. During the war, the northern armies had gone through the South destroying everything that would help the south to prevail in the war. The agricultural belt that was the strength of the was nothing more than ashes as the North marched his armies from Atlanta to the Sea, famously known as Sherman’s March, in which they destroyed everything from crops to railroads. After four long years of war, on April 10, 1865 General Lee surrendered, and the Civil War came to an end. Lincoln was preparing to move the nation forward in Reconstruction. The President, however, never saw his plans for Reconstruction in America because on April 14, 1865, he was assassinated, leaving Andrew Johnson to take over as President,…

    Reconstruction After Reconstruction

    Reconstruction after the civil war even though worked years later, at the time was a complete failure at the attempt to fix the country. During this time the North while trying to help bring the economy back up in the south tried to fight for the rights of the African Americans in the South as well as to bring rights to the colored. People will argue and try to justify that it was successful because it passed the 3 main amendments of the time (which will be discussed later). Today yes those amendments today have a gigantic effect on the lives of our colored youth. During this time though these amendments meant nothing to the South, their only source of income came from the backs of the slaves. When the North took that income away the South…

The Reconstruction was more of a success. Reconstruction helped African Americans establish a life of freedom and equal right. The North only had the intent to bring the Union back together, however, abolition was an act by the civil war.

    Types Of Enhanced Recovery

    Vicky, great research topic! Enhanced recovery has turned out to be so positive after many types of procedures. I think the most important part of enhanced recovery is decreased pain and decrease in length of hospital stay (Slater, 2010} . With both of those being positive outcomes, it's a win-win situation. I think I have said in the prior weeks post, enhanced recovery was not done years ago when my mother had colon surgery, and )she suffered with lots of pain and other issues due to the narcotics used. If she ever has to have this surgery again, I will definitely make sure she is on the enhanced recovery program.…
