The Study of History

One Spanish official remarked that “the maxim of the conqueror must be to settle.” Explain what you think he meant by this statement. Illustrate the various ways conquerors settled the New World, commenting on what worked, what did not work, and the consequences of those methods

Most people believe that the only way to get they want is to go to war or revolt against those who treat them badly. Some people also fear that good and honest people will turn to this type of violence to get what they want because it worked in the past. Look how the Pueblo Indians dealt with the Spanish, how Thomas Paine believed the only way to get their freedom from Britain was to encourage everyone to join the fight, and how Thoreau was afraid of expanding America because it meant the increase in slavery and in the chance slaves would turn on the United States of America to win their own freedom. History can be used to learn about our past and to see how it has affected the way the world acts today.

A. The United States found itself competing with the Soviet Union in the Cold War after 1946. Write ONE

The term slave is defined as a person held in servitude as the chattel of another, or one that is completely passive to a dominating influence. The most well-known cases of slavery occurred during the settling of the United States of America. From 1619 until July 1st 1928 slavery was allowed within our country. Slavery abolitionists attempted to end slavery, which at some point; they were successful at doing so. In a quote by Fredrick Douglas, “A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.” Throughout history many things have happened that were by many thought to be unconscionable. Yet, the people who were putting their mark of unacceptance upon those committing these crimes, who thought them to be deplorable acts, were unaware of the actual situations, and in many cases, committing the same acts themselves.

Otherwise, what could justify this condition of slaves? Once more, in order to justify their ownership of other human beings, slave owners must constantly deny the humanity of their slaves. To convince themselves that their slaves are not quite human, slave owners treat them inhumanely. Even if some slaveholders were deeply convinced that black people were white men’s equal, they had to deny it or else slavery would stop. This is what Frederick Douglas called “the evil of slavery” in his narrative when good-natured slave owners had to forget their own feelings and to behave very severely toward them for the continuation of slavery. In treating their slaves like beasts, the masters became one themselves.

The way that we view history changes all the time and one cannot say that the way that we view actions is static. A great example of this would be during the creation of the United States when slavery was legal and completely acceptable. Back then it was a common practice to use slaves for labor. During that time the action of slavery was morally and legally just. Soon after though people changed their minds about how slavery should be seen. Soon people decided that slavery was morally wrong and should be illegal. This is important because it shows that the way we view action does change over time like the way we view

History is the study of fast event or information about fact what people did to make this world beautiful. From this class or especially from my professor Amy Bell I learn that what written in the books are not all fact. Before I used to hate history subject because of date, but after taking history two I started to love to study different history books to know the fact. Especially I read the united states history books because I live here and want to know everything about where I lived. What we read in a book is the writer view point according what they heard. Actually, history books are not written by histologists but it was written by educational writer. “History can be imagined as a pyramid. At its base are millions of primary sources-the plantation records, city directories, speeches, song, photograph, newspaper articles, diaries, and letters that document time past” (loewen 3).

In A History of the World in Six Glasses, Standage discusses how beer and wine are made in terms of the ingredients and how each beverage is related to each social class. The ingredients are what differentiate one beverage from another beverage. An Ingredient is the main component that makes the beverage unique and gives it an identity. An ingredient is what makes people to choose a beverage from wide range of options. An ingredient gives the color, the texture and the taste to a beverage which makes it unique from other beverages. When it comes to the social classes, beer and wine played a huge role to set up the structure of the social classes. Both beer and wine made each stage of social class devote to a certain beverage that would represent their social class. This essay, I will describe how Tom Standage’s text, A History of the World in Six Glasses, discusses the relationship and the differences between ingredients of the beer and wine and the social classes with regard to beer and wine. This synthesis will explain how the beer and wine were viewed in the in terms of ingredients and how each social class was devoted to a certain beverage.

To know the past is to know the future. In his essay Knowing History and Knowing Who We Are, David McCullough argues about the importance of studying and teaching history. In his essay, he explains that there are three main points about history: character and its effect upon destiny, our failure of teaching the future generation, and the importance of learning and listening to history. David McCullough strongly advocates that audience should start to listen to and teach about the past in order to learn about the way a person’s character can affect their destiny.

The term ‘‘Harlem Renaissance’’ refers to the efflorescence of African-American cultural production that occurred in New York City in the 1920s and early 1930s. One sometimes sees Harlem Renaissance used interchangeably with ‘‘New Negro Renaissance,’’ a term that includes all African Americans, regardless of their location, who participated in this cultural revolution. Followers of the New Negro dicta, which emphasized blacks’ inclusion in and empowerment by American society, were undeniably spread throughout the nation, and most major cities had pockets of the African-American elite that W. E. B. Du Bois dubbed the ‘‘Talented Tenth.’’ Nevertheless, New York City was, arguably, the most crucial

Martin Luther King Jr. says," History will have to record the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people." History is important to me because it gives people a motivation to make a difference and change the past. It shapes, define, and influences us and how we will our daily lives. It shows us examples of trail and errors. It shows how we can make a situation have a different outcome.

History is supposed to act as a guidance, which determines our future course of action. This hasn't been the case in todays society.if history itself is misinterpreted and if we are not taught to learn a lesson from our predecessors’ mistakes, history shall repeat itself in its most retrogressive forms. The injustice done to the blacks and the torture inflicted upon them have been recorded over centuries. The terrible Holocaust images in the concentration camps in Germany send a chill down our nerves even

Our country’s history has definitely had its ups and downs, but we have grown as a nation and as a people through the many tragedies and victories alike. However, we must keep in mind that experiences of the past do not stop affecting us and in no way become useless to us just because they’re in the past. If we decide to use them properly, they are a crucial tool in the cultivation of our future. By knowing our history and studying our predecessors’ actions and reasoning, we will be better informed when deciding what actions to take or not to take in the present. Better informed decisions lead to actions with better outcomes and, eventually, a better future.

Quilting in America begun as soon as colonists started settling in hopes of a new life and has never ceased (1). Throughout the colonial era, the industrial revolution, the two world wars, and the great depression quilting was a big part of many women’s lives (1). Quilting was seen as both a necessity and a pastime, therefore it was consistently relevant throughout American history. Due to its unwavering importance in America, the constant production of quilts (2), and the artistry and expression that can be seen in them, quilts are a good way to view the progression of American history (1). Although there were several decreases in the popularity of quilting over time, it always increased again and now quilting is as popular as ever among all age groups (5). Quilting has always been both a necessity and a hobby in America, which is why the development of American history can be seen through quilts.

The Kingdoms of Judah and Israel from ca. 922 to 586 BCE have a significant impact not only on the Jewish tradition, but also on the history of Ancient Israel and its development, therefore it is important to discuss their political structure and influence. To discuss the political structure and developments of this period modern scholars refer to as the divided monarchy in Ancient Israel, there must first be a discussion of the political and religious factors that bring about the unification and later division of the tribes of Israel. In the Hebrew Bible, various tribes are depicted as encompassing the land of Canaan prior to a time modern scholars refer to as the united monarchy, which refers to the rule of King Saul, David and Solomon.
