Alabama Rhetorical Analysis

The Confederacy gained support after shots rang at Ft. Sumter on xxx 1861. Before that event, Arkansas preferred to remain neutral and hoped for a peaceful outcome to the divided country. President Lincoln’s decision to issue a call for troops signified an attempt to use violence to preserve the union, and triggered a vote that would change Arkansas forever. The elected leaders of Arkansas by a margin of 69 to 1 passed a disunion ordinance and chose to stand with the Confederate States to oppose Northern aggression, unfortunately there loyalty went underappreciated as Arkansas’ geographical and political significance went overlooked by confederate leaders and their war strategy. This strategic error resulted in limited government support

The primary election for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is to be held Thursday, September 3, 2015. This momentous occasion happens every four years. The elected chief and officials, such as council members, can run for office for as long as they see fit, for there is no term limit. Our past chief, Michell Hicks, was in office three consecutive terms for a total of twelve years. This year Hicks has decided to step down and the new candidates for chief are Patrick Lambert and Gene “Tunney” Crowe. These new candidates must be able to fill the role of a generous and successful leader to those of the Cherokee nation. The platforms of both Lambert and Crowe are used to persuade the public to vote in their favor and are extremely versed in the

In this lengthy article “Guns Don’t Kill People, the Mentally Ill Do,” that was published in the Townhall Daily, the author, Ann Coulter, argues about a major prevailing issue today, gun control. She believes the problem isn’t the guns themselves, but the mentally disturbed people. Coulter credits the declining mental health system as the main setback. She supports her argument by providing tragic examples from mass shootings that took place in the past. One example was the 2011 shooting that took place in Tucson, Arizona where the shopping mall shooter, Jared Loughner was so obviously disturbed that he stated “If I stay long enough to make the

We hold debates between the Republican and Democrats before the primaries, and then we hold debates between the two remaining presidential candidates. Upon first glance it may appear that the presidential debates are held to get to know the candidate’s positions on the various issues that are important to the American people; however, the format of the debates make it difficult to accomplish that task. Instead, it is more plausible that these debates are held in order to discover what the candidates are like personally because the debates provide ample opportunities for us to discover the candidate’s values. Ultimately, we want to find out the values that these potential presidents have because we want someone we trust to lead the

In the wake of the death of Antonin Scalia, the Supreme Court Justice , Republican candidates had a debate and met in South Carolina for the 9th GOP debate.This debate mainly discussed what each candidate would do if they were to become president. During these debates, the candidates are given a chance to deliver their messages , and to help voters determine which candidate will be best as president. In the republican debate, each candidate was asked a question which they was expected to answer but somehow didn't appear to do so. While watching, I came to conclusion that some of the arguments were successful and others unsuccessful. In the first section of the debate when candidates Ben Carson, Donald

Every four years, the incumbent president’s term ends and Americans are left with the difficult but massively important choice of who to elect as the next leader of their country. In these elections, though there are many crucial proceedings that occur, two of the most important events are the national conventions that each party holds between their primary elections and the presidential election. The national conventions are so important because during them, each political party nominates their candidate for the upcoming election and gives that candidate a chance to talk to the American people and try to persuade them to vote for him or her (Berman). This year’s conventions have set the stage for the election that will occur in a few months,

Also, surveys late in the battle recommended Americans overwhelmingly needed the President to take things in an alternate direction if re-chosen. Yet in his Charlotte tradition discourse, the verbal confrontations and his end contentions, he depended significantly more on gauzy consensuses about champions and character, in addition to ambiguous references to school educational cost expenses and assembling development blended with persistent assaults on Romney and George W. Bush than on any new specifics about what's to come if

The Republican Presidential Debate was, as always, an intriguing experience for its viewers. America has found itself in the odd position of having nine presidential candidates from the Republican Party. Leaving politics (mostly) aside, it became clear that most of these candidates rely on inspiring and capitalizing on the fears of their voters. This conclusion is drawn from the fact that these candidates are poor seemingly poor communicators. They are unfocused and unoriginal with their platforms. The only defining characteristics are their various levels of confidence, poise, and their body movements.

As people age, the world grows differently in their minds. Each is prompted to think differently about themselves, others, or the world after an experience which made them see differently.This year, the world has been a witness to a unique and astonishing presidential primary debates. Watching the presidential primary debates has changed my perspective on the world and people as a whole. It has been thrilling and baffling to see people take their candidate’s side with such a strong passion. It seems that the country is split into two sides. Both crowds have the contradicting mindsets and values. With each side having different opinions and reasons, it is hard not to see the differences and learn a thing or two from them. There are many types

It was a cool autumn day as the sun set on the horizon of Las Vegas, Nevada. That night the Democratic National Committee and CNN would host the first of a series of Democratic debates in the race for 2016 Presidential Race. Congress being out of session for the next few days, Senator Jay Whitman had just arrived at the airport and planned on heading straight to the debate to see what the future of the Democratic Party would bring to America. Being already, obviously, thoroughly versed in politics himself he was exhilarated to heard the candidates debate the issues that mattered to him and the people of Nevada her represented. Once he had arrived at the event, he found his way though security and into the auditorium. The debate started roughly

There, I assumed the responsibility of knocking on doors to convince busy people to vote for someone they had probably never heard of prior to our appearance on their doorstep. As one would expect, this was a difficult task that the 33-degree weather and sprinkling snow did not help to alleviate. I carried down the list of addresses because I was driven by the hope that change was possible through a collective effort and shared altruism. I continued because I hoped that some day soon, the very people behind those doors would have the privilege to be as involved in politics as I could be. As I walked away from the campaign office later that night, I knew that regardless of whether or not he won, I had stuck by my principles. My love for politics is what pushed me to canvass despite the supposedly “decided” primary, and what allowed me to see that there was in fact, “a future to believe

“This is what's wrong with this debate. We're not talking about real issues. And Mr. Trump, we don't need an apprentice in the White House.” Trump would then sharply criticized Walker on his governor record, using talking points used by the democrats “losing $2.2 billion right now,” Walker hit back – “You want to talk about balanced budgets? You took four major projects into bankruptcy over and over and over again. You can't take America into bankruptcy. That's what's wrong with the politicians in Washington right now. They think we can take a country into

We wake up an hour before the debate started; we dress for the occasion and head towards the fairgrounds. At the fairgrounds, we see many advocates and crowds. We see Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas standing sharing their
