Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page essay that discusses the central role that Franklin’s list of virtues plays in his autobiography. While Franklin’s account demonstrates that he largely succeeded in his goal to live by these virtues, his references to others, specifically Samuel Keimer, John Collins, and Hugh Meredith, provide contrast to Franklin’s own behavior, as they provide an antithesis for the virtues in Franklin’s list. Examination of Franklin’s autobiography indicates how he uses this contrast to paint a strong portrait of himself as his text’s protagonist. No additional sources cited.

[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. According to Avi Shlaim's "War and Peace in the Middle East: A Concise History," ignorance of human rights and a tendency toward political oppression were the consequences of the post-war settlement of 1918-1922, clearly reflecting the consequential elements of imperialism for American policy in the Middle East. At the turn of the twentieth century, the United States was on the verge of becoming one of the world's most important imperial powers. The combination of public pressure, foreign policy elite and agricultural/industrial capitalism clearly signaled a massive global change of significant proportions. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Baseball During The American Civil War
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Baseball during the American Civil War represented everything that the war did not: It was a way in which soldiers and ranking commanders could return being just men as much as it was critical time spent regaining one's mental and emotional balance amidst overwhelming conflict. Albert Doubleday – a name synonymous with baseball – was a Civil War General who, historians have determined, was not the original founder of America's most popular sporting game. That notwithstanding, Doubleday's involvement in baseball's Civil War presence is what has come to represent the start of a national tradition. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Being White in America in the 19th Century
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper using Michael Moore’s philosophy of fear in America as presented in his film, “Bowling for Columbine” to define what it meant to be white in the 19th century. The overall effect of the subtleties of fear in the Victorian era; murder of Native Americans in the West; virtual enslavement in Northeastern sweatshops; and the pressures of race relations in the South combined to give whites the appearance of being superior without in actuality being superior at all. Being white in America in the 19th century brought the greatest chance of achieving economic success, but translated into living a life of fear in which there was danger lurking around every corner.

Bellamy's "Looking Backward" – The Problem With Nineteenth-Century Industrialism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Edward Bellamy finds many things problematic about the rise of late nineteenth-century industrialism in Looking Backward: 2000-1887. The extent to which this rise of social progress served to economically stunt the masses while creating fortunes for a handful of savvy – if not unscrupulous – businessmen is both grand and far-reaching; that Bellamy's account points out this and many other social, political and economic inequities speaks to a time of American evolution that was not holistically beneficial as many believe.

5 pages in length.
