fact, willingly have crucified him or burned him
alive. He had saved the country as he once saved a
groom from drowning, by gripping it by the throat.
When he had won and the work was practically over,
then they cheered and lauded him to the skies. But

spark of understanding for the statesman who gave
them what they wanted but had been incapable ...

bomb in 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the
beginning of a new arsenal that would lead to the
development of nuclear weapons. After Japan and
Germany were de...

The Dual Nature of the Progressive Era One common
misconception is to view the Progressive movement
as a unified core of reform-minded crusaders
dedicated to improving the social welfare of
American society. While this viewpoint is not
entirely incorrect, it is only a partial and
thereby misleading assessment of the movement that

nineteenth-century. What some may fail to
appreciate is the duality of the period-the cry
for social welfare reforms juxtaposed agains...
