There are several reasons for the United States entering The Great War. However, most Americans preferred to stay out of the conflict. President Wilson publicly and formally stated that the United States would adhere to a policy of neutrality., However, in three short years, the United States would find itself involved in the conflict which would later became known as the first World War.As war raged in Europe, America sympathies undoubtedly sided with the Allies. American propaganda encouraged citizens to buy war bonds and support the Allies. The Kaiser and Germans were portrayed as the aggressors in the war. Americans began to see Germany as brutal and murderous. When the war started

She wrote this article with the purpose of tracing the origins of the Mexican War.Mexican historians have always viewed expansionism as the origin of the war. But the war left an uncomfortable feeling of not being able to deal better with Mexico's defense. Mexicans do not consider the origins of the war covered in mystery and they affirm that the war was caused by the insatiable ambition of the United States , aided by their weakness.Up to 1821, while the economy and population of the United States knew a stable government for four decades dominated by impressive elite

A country known to many foreigners as the “Promised Land” became the attraction of many immigrants who were searching for job opportunites, economic advancement and freedom from religious persecution. Many such as the white, western European settlers, Asian, Japanese and Italians all left their homelands in search of better lives for themselves and their families. A country rumored to be the ideal place to start a new life, soon morphed into a multicultural nation as many immigrants from countries across the globe poured in. However

capital crime. A capital crime is defined as the crime that is so atrocious that the offender be sentenced to their death. This may be done as an act of retribution, to ensure that the individual cannot commit any future crimes, and/or as a deterrent for other potential criminals. This practice has been extremely controversial and is heavily debated upon around the world. Supporters of the death penalty argue that a serious crime deserves an equally serious punishment—such as death, while opponents argue that capital punishment is revenge rather than punishment. Most nations have abolished the death penalty in law or practice, however, the United States is one of few industrialized countries

James Polk wanted a takeover of the entire Oregon territory and the annexation of Texas. Many of the northern Whigs did not agree with him and were afraid slave states would be increased and hurt relationships with who they traded with and it eventually did with the US Mexican war. Mexico no longer wanted to have anything to do with the United States once Texas was ratified and joined the union with a constitution to permit slavery. (Norton, 2015).

From the beginning, the United States Constitution has guaranteed the American people civil liberties. These liberties have given citizens’ rights to speak, believe, and act freely. The Constitution grants citizens the courage to express their mind about something they believe is immoral or unjust. Through civil liberties we are able see evidence of structural and procedural balance of power. In this essay I will discuss the importance of these terms and how they shaped the Bill of Rights.

When the average American thinks of poverty, we think of someone in a below-average earning household. My thoughts immediately go to children I went to school with. Many students came from uneducated families (less than high school diploma) who weren’t sure if they’d have dinner that night or when their next meal would be. Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic necessities including food, clothing, healthcare, and shelter. However, poverty is much more than just not having enough money.

Ever since, the loss of China to communism, this heavily effected the US to be involved in the Korea war.

In the United States, fifteen percent of Americans struggle with the hardship of poverty. That comes out to forty-five million people living a poor way of life. One of the direct correlating causes of this is wages. The simple truth is that with a minimum wage barely reaching past seven dollars, these millions of citizens just aren’t earning enough to be able to support themselves and those around them. Most of these people are responsible for children and others as well. With an income so low, most families are living check to check just to survive. The very apparent solution is a federal wage increase. The national minimum wage in the United States should be raised to allow for
