    A) In chapter 1‚ Howard Zinn’s main point is that history is not formed by the names of famous people and places‚ but by the interactions between different people or groups. In chapter 1‚ he uses the interactions between Christopher Columbus and the Arawaks. When people think of Columbus‚ they think of the hero who discovered America‚ but he was not the first one there‚ and was very dismissive of the natives once he landed in America.

    "A Kind of Revolution" is an article written by Howard Zinn. I found the article from "A People’s History of the United States". Howard Zinn claims to show a series of controversial facts about the Constitution and how it ultimately contributed to the failure of the union because of the issues that were not resolved‚ and therefore caused controversy in the years leading up to the Civil War. Howard Zinn states that the Constitution only addresses how slaves were to be counted in terms of population

    Just Wars for Just Cause Can “good” or “just” wars exist? Throughout history‚ wars have often been called “just”. Can a just cause justify a just war? In Howard Zinn’s personal journey he asks his readers and himself these questions. Although pacifists like Zinn may not support just wars‚ sometimes the option for war for a just cause might be the only way for the world to have peace. I believe that World War II is an example of a just war. I believe this because of the need to stop Hitler and

    between the masses and big business‚ Zinn believed that these regulations were never enforced and ignored for the sake of the elite. While Zinn acknowledges the philanthropy of some big businessmen‚ he also claims that these men invested their money back into their communities merely to train the masses to continue corporate traditions. Joel Spring claims‚ “The development of the factory-like system in the nineteenth-century classroom was not accidental” (Zinn 61). Zinn wants his audience to believe that

    ‘War is Health of the State’ Howard Zinn argues that American capitalism‚ through international rivalry caused by the Great War‚ caused big breaches between the power of big business and the voice of the working class to determine the stance of participation in the war. Zinn therefore recollects numerous tactics throughout that time‚ such as the Espionage Act of 1917 which was‚ “used to imprison Americans who spoke or wrote against the war‚” (Zinn‚ p. 67). Since many individuals did not express

    Maria Daniels POLS497 Mid-Term 01FEB2015 The idea of American exceptionalism is not a new one. Thomas Jefferson spoke of civilizing the Indians many believed they were savages. Surely the Native Americans thought the white newcomers were the savages. The white men forced the Natives off of the “new” land and proceeded to murder them. The United States continues this tradition today‚ going into countries where we are not welcome‚ and trying to change them‚ make them more like us. What I can
