    Coming off of the “Era of Good Feelings”, the United States government was on the brink of a revolution. During this period there was a renewal of the National bank, a rise in prices for former Native American lands, as well as tariff against cheap British goods, which began to drive a rift in between the only active political party, the Democratic-Republicans. Although unified in their dislike of the Federalist party and mistrust of large government, The Democratic-Republican party had grown heavily divided between the more conservative southerners, who favored slavery and took an off handed approach to the federal governments involvement, and the neo-federalist northerners, whom were anti-slavery and saw the importance for some federal government involvement. This led to four men being nominated for the presidency all from the same party. Having traveled with his father to Britain and then on his own to the courts around Europe, John Q. Adams had received a colorful, first hand education in diplomacy and politics.…

    The tensions across the nation were on the rise as each geographic section specialized and the fight for states’ rights flourished. The foundations of each section were built upon different ideologies ingrained in the culture and social structure of the region. Problems arose as shifts in politics, culture, and social structure developed during Jackson’s Presidency, and the treatment of the changes led to sectionalism, succession, and eventually civil war with self-interest as the fire starter. Leading up to the Election of 1828, America faced a turning point politically, as priorities shifted from virtue to self-interest, and national unity to state’s rights. It was a time of distinct political parties as they battled out issues of protective…

    Late in 1948, the campaigns shifted. Progressive Party candidate Henry Wallace and States’ Rights Party candidate Strom Thurmond, both third party candidates in 1948, had a huge number of their supporter’s defect and support Truman in the waning weeks of the election (Gallup, 2002, para 4). This would be a big shift in the number of votes Truman would have received because both Thurmond and Wallace were both Democrats in their own right. Thurmond was a Southern Democrat or “Dixicrat” whose goal was to draw enough Southern and Midwestern Democrats to force the election to go to the House of Representatives (Gallup, 2002, para 2). Wallace’s Progressive Party was created out of the remnants of New Deal Democrats, though most New Dealers stayed in the Democratic Party (Churchwald, 1949, pg. 39).…

    Electoral College Process With the upcoming presidential election in November 2106, I believe that it is important to understand our government, and how the leader of our country will truly be selected, come election time. Most people think that their vote personally effects who wins the presidency, but what they do not realize, is that there is a system in place called the Electoral College. I am a firm believer in educated voting, and knowing how the system works plays hand in hand with being educated on the candidate that you are voting for. In my generation, it seems that most people get out to vote just to vote, without really doing their research, and I do not believe that this is what voting is all about.…

Now if you murder someone, or steal something, they will investigate until they know the whole story.
