Question 4461 Conflict in the Early Republic:

Thomas Jefferson vs. Alexander Hamilton
Conflict in the Early Republic: Thomas Jefferson vs. Alexander Hamilton ** DUE DATE 2/3/19 10:00 pm
Introduction: All was not well in terms of d/omestic policy in the years after the ratification of the
Constitution in 1789. There were several fault lines that ran through the early republic, thus the period
from 1789-1800 is referred to by historians as the “Critical Period” in American history. Would George
Washington become a military dictator as Napoleon would in the late 1790s? Would a national bank be
allowed? Was the Constitution meant to be interpreted as a strict document or as a document that
allowed for anything “necessary and proper” for the operation of the government? What was the
proper balance between federal and state power? Is free speech a core part of American democracy?
Were political parties an essential part of the American political order? These questions and many
others were debated during the critical period, with founding fathers Thomas Jefferson (Republican) and
Alexander Hamilton (Federalist) often on differing sides of each. This week I would like to concentrate
on foreign policy during the Critical Period. Today we debate what our relationship should be with the
Russian Federation. Do we see them as a friend of stability in the region or a serious threat to the
current political order? How should we deal with them? In 2017, we look at this relationship from a
position of power and relative international strength. We have choice in our relationship with Russia. In
the critical period, America was a relatively weak country; we had little to no choice in foreign affairs.
We were thrown around between Britain and France like a political football. In the early republic we
questioned the nature of our relationship with France. The French had sided with the colonies during
the American Revolution, providing naval power, infantry, arms, and cash to aid the American fight for
independence, not necessarily because they believed in liberty, but because they hated the British as
their chief economic and military rival. Our relationship with the French and their king, Louis XVI, was
strong until the French Revolution erupted in 1789. As France was plunged into an era of extreme

bloodshed, American leaders questioned whether revolutionary terror and violence would emanate
from France and spread throughout the new American states. What would be the nature of our
relationship with the French? Jefferson and Hamilton fell on opposite sides of this French question
during a time when the British and French, the two dominant world powers, were perpetually at war.
Hamilton saw the British, our former enemy, as the harbinger of a new industrial future and he sought
to build America in Britain’s image. He felt that a relationship with the French would be at best
feebleminded and at worst irresponsible and dangerous. Thomas Jefferson disagreed; he was a
Francophile who had once been minister to France. Jefferson supported a close relationship with the
French based on their friendship during the conflict with the British and the idea that they were our
revolutionary brothers in arms. This became the main political issue in the election of 1796 between
Republican Thomas Jefferson and Federalist John Adams. Eventually the French instituted a “quasi-war”
against American shipping that carried British goods. The French felt that our allegiance was to the
British because of our trade relationships. Washington declared neutrality, but it was to no avail.
Rumblings of war with France dominated political discussion in the late 1790s, and John Adams pushed
to limit immigration and free speech during this time period. ********Question for Discussion: Given
our revolutionary ties with the French, should we have honored our former alliance and sided with them
in their conflicts with the British? With whom would you have sided, Hamilton or Jefferson? Readings for
this Discussion: Roark, Page 230 (Concerning the Jay Treaty), page 231 (Concerning the Haitian
Revolution), Pages 232 – 235 (Concerning the Election of 1796, the XYZ Affair, and the Alien and Sedition
Acts). This Short Article on Washington’s Neutrality and the Genet Affair:

ntry_id/1_rb1st3qg/embed/dynamic Assignment 2: Industrialization and the Rise of a Regulated
Economy The United States went through dramatic economic change during and after the Civil War, as
industrialization spread rapidly and changed society. This transformation and some of the apparent
abuses that developed (monopolistic practices, work conditions, low wages, arbitrary and oppressive
expectations) led to an increased role of the government in regulating businesses and society. This role
was heightened as government was viewed as the arbiter between business and organized labor. One
can explore these developments from 1865 on through to World War II. Examine the statement below
and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to
demonstrate the validity of your position. Statement—in which you can take a pro or con position: From
the start of Progressive era of the late 1800s through the New Deal period in the 1930s, increasing
government interventions and regulations of business tended to help the overall economy and the
common workers. (Or you can argue that such interventions and regulations hurt the overall economy
and the common workers.) Use specific examples from different decades—and be sure one of your
examples is from the 1930s. After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general
research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more
thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and
inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.)
Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues: The position you choose or something close to
it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph. To support your position, use four (4)
specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1940. However, one (1) of your four (4)
examples must be from the 1930s. Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your
workplace or desired profession? Length: The paper should be 500-to-750 words in length. Research and
References: You must use a MINIMUM of three sources; the Schultz textbook must be one of them. Your
other two sources should be drawn from the list provided below. This is guided research, not open-

Read Article and do three paragraphs on it based on this link
https://worldwar1letters.wordpress.com/2009/06/ no longer than 450 words, but no shorter than 300.

P1- Should provide the title of the source, a very brief summary of the text and say what students hope
to critique-argue in P2. Students need to provide an argument-thesis driven statement. A summary
alone is neither desirable nor enough to thoroughly complete the assignment. P2- Should be an
analytical paragraph that provides (at least) one example from the text to support the author’s claim…ie.
The slave’s story provides insight into the cruelty of the system, “insert quotation from text here.” Using
direct quotations provides clarity and helps to support the author’s claims. P3- Should summarize briefly
what was covered in P1 and P2 and also say something about the significance of this document for the
study of world history and how it shows global interconnectivity. (How is the world connected?) Do not
throw this paragraph away, put as much effort into it as P1 and P2.

Question 4474 Iron Jawed Angels

What to do: In this discussion, I would like you to write a post that touches on some of the following
topics relating to Iron Jawed Angels (below). Make sure to incorporate specific details from the film AND
specific details from lecture and readings to help back up your ideas. Anacronism: Can you think of a few
examples in the film where the filmmaker took license with history? For example, where did they put in
modern details, attitudes, or sensibilities to make the film resonate with a 21st century audience?
(Anacronism = something, a word, object or an event, that is mistakenly paced in a time where is does
not belong). We are not looking for obscure inaccuracies, just major ones that might be important when
critiquing the overall value of the film. The whole story? Do you think that someone watching this movie
will get an accurate depiction of how the 19th Amendment was won? Explain to reason for your answer
with specific details from readings and lecture to show your knowledge . How does “Iron Jawed Angels”
compare to our textbook and lecture accounts of the road to suffrage (1848-1920)? The merit of the
film? What do you think is the greatest merit of the film? Are the anachronisms and limited chosen
narrative outweighed by the film’s overall value? Provide specific examples to explain your answer. Film
as history. Whether we historians like it or not, many Americans get most of their ‘history’ from
Hollywood films (and TV shows). These films may be inaccurate, biased toward modern sensibilities, or
politically motivated. Are there dangers or advantages of using popular films to learn history? Provide
specific examples to explain your answer. Discussion Directions: NOTE: This post needs to be your own
work. This means: Resist the temptation to google “Iron Jawed Angels + Anachronism.” If you write
some obscure details about the inaccuracy of number of stars on the American flag or incorrect door
handles being used or how the wrist watches were from the wrong time period, I will be pretty sure that
you looked up that information online (or else you will need to prove to me how you came to be so
knowledgeable in the subject of historic door handles…). Please only use our readings and lectures this
week as the basis for your discussion. Do not go online looking for additional information. One of your
goals is to demonstrate that you have completed this week’s assigned materials. Also you will have to
watch this lecture and give evidences from it. This is the link:

Question 4481 Winston Churchill, “The Iron Curtain

Read EWC Document 29.7, Winston Churchill, “The Iron Curtain,” and write a paragraph responding to
the prompt at the end. (follow the link in the Canvas Module for Week 12 to access the document) Your
response to the prompt should be about a paragraph in length but no longer than a page. It should
begin with an introductory sentence that responds directly and completely to the prompt. This sentence
establishes your main point (that is, your argument or thesis). In about four to six additional sentences,
you should present evidence to support your thesis. Present at least two pieces of concrete evidence
drawn from Document 29.7. You must cite any material paraphrased from the source document with a
simple parenthetical citation. You must enclose any material taken word-for-word from the source
document in quotation marks and cite it with a simple parenthetical citation. See the following
examples: In this famous speech, British Prime Minister Winston Church warned that the Soviet Union
controlled eastern European countries liberated from Nazi Germany after the end of World War II. (EWC
29.7, Winston Churchill, “The Iron Curtain”) In this speech, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill
famously warned that “an iron curtain has descended across” Europe, and that the Soviet Union
exercised an “increasing measure of control” on the countries behind it. (EWC 29.7, Winston Churchill,
“The Iron Curtain”) Be sure to analyze the evidence you present by explaining why it means what you
think it means. Conclude your paragraph by restating your main point (that is, your
argument/thesis/direct response to the prompt) and perhaps reflecting on the broader significance of
the document you’ve read. Type your response in MS Word or any similar word processing software.
Proofread your essay carefully to eliminate errors in grammar, punctuation, and usage. Save the file and

Question 4486 Portfolio Reflection

In this module, we’ve learned a great deal about the value of history, how learning from the past may
help provide definition to our present world perspective and how studying and learning from our
ancient ancestors can potentially contribute in shaping our own future. Throughout this course, we have
examined various civilizations and in each one we’ve learned about a myriad of aspects that helped
influence our ancestors’ capacity to act responsibly and determine their roles or abilities to contribute to
society. For this reflection, you will answer the question: “What can I, as an historian of the ancient
world, learn and apply from the history of my ancient ancestors to my own role in contributing to and
acting responsibly for the betterment of society?” In order to answer this question effectively for your
reflection you must: Pick one common theme/criteria topic (from the list below) that you think
significantly influenced an individual from the ancient world to act responsibly and contribute towards
society. o Technology o Politics/Bureaucracy o Law/Ethics o Arts/Sciences o Economy/Business o
Education o Military/Police o Religion/Morals & Traditions Explain how at least one specific example
