George W Bush Bush And Gore
1,711 words
Since 1856, two political parties have been
dominant, the Democratic Party and the Republican
Party. As they have butted heads, no other party
has been elected to the office of president. In
fact, the only time a third party received more
votes than the Republican or Democratic parties
was in the election of 1912. Why has there only
been two parties that have dominated our
government for nearly a century and a half?
Because the two-party system works. The two-party
system makes voting for Americ...

Civil War White Males

on American soil. Although both sides expected the
conflict to be over in a matter of days, it lasted
four tumultuous years, from 1861 - 1865. The war
pitted brother against brother, neighbor against
neighbor. The period of Reconstruction, the time
when our nation attempted to mend its broken
relations with the South and rebuild after the
destructive war, lasted until 1877. What many
people don't know is that the original intent of
the Civil War w...

Anglo Saxon Cultural Values

topic in America. Some feel that immigration is

addition, it creates a stronger economic base
because immigrants will produce more goods than
they use as well as filling in the lower paid jobs
we arent willing to take. Others, like the right
wing republicans, feel immigration is treading on
thin ice. Indeed, they state that immigration is
responsible for lower standards in our culture as

John C Calhoun North And South

Politics is a diverse and quickly changing facet
of civilized society. Politics in America, at
least in the current times, focuses on a two party
system (although other parties are not discouraged
from presenting candidates, and many often do, the
political arena is generally dominated by two
major parties). This dichotomy exists due to the
public? s desire to simplify all competitions to
one man against the other. This was not always the
case. In the early part of the 1800? s, the
concept of po...

do to provide equality for all the freed slaves.
Although all the southern states re-entered the
union and the slaves gained some rights, the goals
were not completely met and Reconstruction was a
failure. Reconstruction seriously limited the

was at first a time when the color line was
blurred. Blacks and whites intermingled freely,
more so then ever before, yet these interactions
were not representative of the South accepting the
freedman into society. The Black Codes were
enacted so that the former enslaved was not
treated as equals in social and political
relations. During the Reconstruction the freedman
was searching for the meaning of his freedom and
the responsibility it brought....
