In the book Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis, the author relates the stories of six crucial historic events that manage to capture the flavor and fervor of the revolutionary generation and its great leaders. While each chapter or story can be read separately and completely understood, they do relate to a broader common theme. One of Ellis' main purposes in writing the book was to illustrate the early stages and tribulations of the American government and its system through his use of well blended stories. The idea that a republican government of this nature was completely unprecedented is emphasized through out the book. Ellis discusses the unique problems that the revolutionary generation experienced as a result of governing under the

People wanted what they believed was liberty and it was being voiced by everyone race and gender. Slaves, a future presidential wife and mother and a respected church official all spoke all out. The letters and potations voice the struggles and bring to light their personal and social beliefs of what they thought equality was. Its true that everyone wanted and deserved freedom in some form, personal, moral or governmental.

After the War of 1812, The United States entered a period of intense social, political and economic change. These changes would eventually deconstruct America into two factions that would go to war in 1861. The era before that, 1815-1850, has been given many names. The “antebellum period” and “Jacksonian democracy” are just two of the long list. However, I propose that we pull from one of the most important themes of this era: the ideology of republicanism. Republicanism defined the United States since its beginnings as a mere colony rebelling against monarchial tyranny. Therefore I suggest we name the textbook “republicanism: 1816-1850.”

In James’ case he knew that if he worked hard at school he could gain his fathers approval. However it seemed that he was in the shadow of his brother, who was also under the same pressure. He had turned to cheating to get better marks to avoid his father’s disapproval. James’ own sense of right and wrong were being clouded by his loyalty to- and competition with his brother, also his need for approval from his father and his sense of duty to protect his frail mother by “not

Although James exhibits care and concern for people with whom he has personal relationships, that care and concern can be disposed of after the most minor fault by the person in question, and he is not one to be forgiving. James is able to simulate an agreeable attitude when necessary for career and education purposes, or other areas in his life in which acting agreeable would directly benefit him.
