After the struggles of the 1780s, the U.S most urgent task in establishing the new government was to secure stability. The first President of the Unites States was George Washington. At this time, the Congress worked and quickly passed on the " Bill of Rights", which give the citizens a true freedom in 1789. However, In 1798, the Congress hammered out the Sedition Act and the Alien Acts.

During 1770, many dreamt of breaking free from Britain but did not see it in the near future, yet just a few years later was a revolution unfolding, forming a new government and the one that still stands today. The colonist were in a constant state of unhappiness under the rule of the British king, even after continuous efforts of expressing their grievances to him. Large disputes between the king and the colonist often revolved around taxes which the colonist felt were unfair and inflicted upon their rights. This was because the colonist were being taxed without their consent. Often times, taxes targeted particular crowds, for instance, the tea act mainly affected women because they were the ones primarily purchasing tea.

2. The principal major American resistance to British arrangement came in 1765 after Parliament passed the Stamp Act, an assessment measure intended to raise incomes for a standing British armed force in America. Under the standard of "no tax imposition without any political benefit," settlers met the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their restriction to the expense. With its establishment in November, most pioneers required a blacklist of British products, and some sorted out assaults on customhouses and homes of assessment gatherers. Following quite a while of dissent in the provinces, Parliament at long last voted to nullify the Stamp Act in March 1766. Most homesteaders proceeded to discreetly acknowledge British standard until Parliament's order of the Tea Act in 1773, a bill intended to spare the floundering British East India Company by extraordinarily bringing down its tea assessment and allowing it a restraining infrastructure on the American tea exchange.

In the opening of 1873 the economy wavered consistently, creating tireless recessions every five to six years, all more regrettable than the last. Nearly all workers in the late nineteenth century would agree that there was a significant rise in their standard of living. Workers often sacrificed and worked in places with dangerous working conditions, diminishing control over their own work, and a growing sense of helplessness.

Following the Civil War in the 1860s, African Americans were freed and given suffrage. However, following events such as Plessy v. Ferguson and the end of Reconstruction, much of what they gained was taken from them. African American leaders tried to earn them back in a number of different ways, but with similar goals in mind. Although African American leaders from the 1890s to the 1920s and from the 1950s to the 1960s had different strategies such as the Talented Tenth compared the March on Washington, both time period’s leader sought the same goals, namely suffrage and the end of segregation therefore, they are significantly different in strategy and majorly similar in goals.

Identify the federal government’s major challenges in reconstructing the South after the Civil War during the period from 1865 to 1877.

retreated as the Hessians came down from Canada. The state of the Continental army was in bad shape. They were low on many supplies such as blankets, shoes, clothes, weapons, and food. Also cold and sick, the army needed boats to get across the Delaware river and into New Jersey. They used boats from local fishermen, who were not that happy about the army taking their boats. After a day they crossed the river, frostbitten and in poor condition, with low spirits. Just six months earlier the Declaration of Independence was signed. They were in need of funds to pay for the soldiers’ enlistments, which were due to expire at the end of the month. The Hessians felt victory at their fingertips, even trying to get Washington to give up and sign a document of surrender. Washington shows leadership qualities until the end.

The French and Indian War was a result of continuous border antagonisms in North America as both the French and British sought to further extend each country’s frontier regions. The borderline of French and British territory was not greatly established. The French built a number of forts in effort to strengthen the affirm on their territory. British forces attempted to exile the French but were outnumbered and then conquered by the French. Once the news reached the British Prime Minister, he called for a counter attack. But his rivalries of the cabinet made his plans public and intensified a simple border encounter into a full- blown war. While facing defeat in North America the French government attempted to take part in peace negotiations

During the Revolutionary Era In the late 18th century, the American colonies had expressed many concerns of a strong central-government after being harassed by the British Empire, and desired to establish a government which address these concerns. The American Constitution (that includes the Bill of Rights), thoroughly addresses the concerns of military to civilian relations voiced by the people in the Revolutionary Era, including the military infringement of civilian livelihood and the threat of military superiority over civilian power.

Leading up to the period of “the Debaters” (as they are called in the film Congress) the Capital had been completely rebuilt under the supervision of Benjamin Latrobe and Charles Bulfinch. The Capital had new more expansive chambers for each house which were joined by a copper sheathed wooden dome. The period between 1820 and 1860 in congress is characterized by debate and compromise. The spirit of the times is characterized as that of growth and improvement. Gold was found in California, Texas joined the union, we went from having 209 to 21,551 post offices across the country, and our country now spanned all the way to the pacific. As if a testament to this spirit of growth the painter and inventor Samuel F.B. Morse painted the congress in its new quarters to subsidize his new telegraph system. But of course the changes to our Capital are the changes that are least

In December 1777 in Valley Forge there was 1,800 to 2,500 people who were sick or died and some even quit because of the conditions and their surroundings from (Document A ) .

As Thomas Jefferson took office, he aimed to suppress the conflict between Republicans and Federalists, through saying that all Americans are all unified, free, and are entitled to the same common laws, in addition, he had the idea that in order to generate revenue, he wanted to reduce the military force present in the nation, however his most notable accomplishment was the Louisiana Purchase, which gave America the rest of Florida, the Gulf coast, Mississippi and Alabama.

1.Radical Republicans thought that African Americans should have every right that a White person had with the same political rights and the same opportunities. With an addition of Johnson being a dedicated defender of white supremacy and those of embattled white elites, including the he creation of Black codes, a major number of northerners and southern unionist wanted to reevaluate the purpose and direction of this policy. They wanted rights to be equal with both races and to those who were leads with the civil war to be punished not accepted into Congress

I believe that Roosevelt was defining American values that he believed should be humanistic values. I think that Roosevelt was trying to show the people of the United States as well as citizens of foreign countries how we expected them to conduct themselves. This speech was very passive aggressive in the fact that it does not state the consequences of breaking these freedoms, but it does imply that the United States will fight for those rights.

According to Rabbi Isaac, it is not necessary to have started the Torah at creation if the definition of the Torah is a guide to living as a Jew. It would have made more sense to have started it from “'This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you” (Exodus 12:2). This is the first commandment of the Torah and thus if the Torah was meant only to be guidelines about how to live as a Jew, the entire first book is irrelevant.
