Inhabiting the Holy Roman Empire in the 16th century, the upper class considered peasants a mere subhuman. Conversely, Martin Luther, a German professor of theology, influenced reformation to the German state. This reformation focused on the peasants, especially the peasant revolt of 1524. As the revolution continued, the Peasant Parliament formed to coordinate activates and strive for optimistic results of the revolt. Consequently, peasants offered moderate reforms that were supported by the towns, but condemned by the nobility and the leading Protestant reformer, Martin Luther. This would be known as the largest uprising in Europe before the

Europeans view on non-european peoples and cultures became more vast over the time period of one hundred and thirty years. These documents, presented chronologically, show us how europeans questioned their morals about non-europeans as new intellectual changes were happening.

In the late 1700s, people moved to the United states wanting a better life. They wanted to separate from Britain. The United states were running by its first president George Washington. The french helped America do this. The United States borrowed money from the french to pay for the war. They paid the French back later.

During the sixteenth and seventeenth century, the world of science became exposed to new scientific discoveries that were not welcomed by the church. For decades, people believed and did everything the Roman Catholic Church told them because there were no documents or no other proof of scientific knowledge to go on. Friendship should be spread through the whole world of learning…(Document 9)” You will learn better if you are friends because you can exchange information and find out more than if you were enemies. The Roman Catholic Church was threatening by the Scientific Revolution because Copernicious’s, Galilei’s, and Newton’s new science discoveries open people minds to change.

How did the change in time period, technological advancements, and overall lifestyle affect man’s view of man? In the 1400’s, the Middle Ages had ended and the Renaissance was just beginning. During the Middle Ages, the church held most of the power, giving people few rights. This and many other things changed during the Renaissance that lasted for about 250 years. The Renaissance affected how man viewed itself. Man’s view of man was changed during the Renaissance by art, literature, and science/astronomy.

In 1820, a politician by the name of Henry Clay decided to help work out a compromise that would keep the balance the North and South. Clay suggested that Congress should admit Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state. The official proposal was passed in March of 1820 and prohibited slavery from any territories in the Louisiana Purchase that was North of 36°30’ latitude. (The American Journey Page 320,437, and 438) Almost thirty years later, a dispute over slavery broke out in Congress because a bill was introduced by Illinois senator Stephen Douglas. Douglas originally wanted to run for president but in order to do that he needed the support of the Southern Democrats. With Douglas trying to win over both northerners and southerners, the Kansas-Nebraska act proclaimed that Kansas and Nebraska territories would have the choice to be a free or slave state. Douglas was basically saying that “they” being Congress would repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and would rely on “popular sovereignty” which is letting the people decide. He figured that because Kansas and Nebraska becoming slave

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 1915, the United States began its nearly two-decade long occupation of Haiti. The island nation became dominated by an oppressive military power. These conditions left many American observers outraged and opposed to the occupation. Black Americans, for example, represented the most outraged and vocal observers of the occupation. They felt a unique kinship with Haitian Natives, a kinship created by ancestral ties to Africa and a shared experience of the history of Atlantic slavery. Blacks argued that if Haitians faced oppression and tyranny, Blacks too, faced oppression and tyranny. Blacks found the treatment of Haitian Natives by American military abhorrent. They intended for the occupation to crumble through a political advocacy campaign

The revolutionary war was a fight for independence and created America but some people think the revolutionary war was not so revolutionary. I believe the revolutionary war was not revolutionary. In document four, the data showed that there were less wealthy and less well to do in the northern states and in the middle states there were less wealthy between 1765 and 1785. This shows that America’s economics and sustainability were lowered and not as good as it used to be. In document 6, in 1819 a African American valedictorian gave a speech about how no one will employ him, white boys won’t work with him, and white clerks won’t associate with him. He said, “Can you be surprised by my discouragement.” Which shows colored people still have not

During the mid-15th to 18th centuries, the emergence of changes in popular culture, leisure activities, and rituals contributed to modern European ideals. The scientific revolution caused people to question the universe around them, leading to new discoveries about the natural world. Urbanization within Europe also contributed to the modernization of European ideals, helping to break out of communal folk norms. New trade routes and exploration in other countries introduced new products to Europe, diversifying European food and drink, as well as medicine. The developments of cultural change, modern thinking, and economic advances in Europe impacted societal norms, though many of the same folk ideals still continued to influence European daily life.

The major motive for wars between 1650 and 1850 were due to trade, for expansion and protection of trade. The wars mostly took place, because of the claiming of wealth and vast land areas of the Americas. Nations were fighting each other to claim ownership and to fight for independence because of the heavy tax burdens that was being placed on them. The English and Dutch fought several wars over Dutch access to English ports and wars over trade between England and Spain. In the late seventeenth century, the British began to challenge the Dutch and the Portuguese that was for control of the trade with Indonesia. The wars began over territory in Europe and were extended to America in one direction and to Asia in the other. Mercantilism was what inspired these imperial wars. “Mercantilism believed that the wealth of a state

Additionally, another major conflict of militaristic means was against the English, in which approximately 2,000 to 2,700 Dutch ships were seized by the English in the three Anglo-Dutch Wars, (Doc. 3). This document primarily showed that Dutch had major troubles with their security to other foreign nations. England was the main competitors of the Dutch for trade during this time period, and these seizing of ships made perfect sense if the English wanted to come out on top. For example, these conflicts are shown on a map of the naval battles between the English and Dutch, during the years 1652-1674, (Doc. 1). On the map the most battles occurred between the Dutch trade route that went through waters close to England, which ended up being one of the biggest challenges to the Dutch republic militarily. Marquis de Pamponne, French ambassador to the Dutch Republic, reported to the French government that the wars between the English and Dutch were primarily over trade and obtaining trade routes, (Doc. 11). This document was written by a foreign opinion to the French government because the French were obviously curious about these conflicts that were occurring. More importantly, this document showed trade routes were a major cause of challenges on the military on the Dutch, which caused an increase

In the seventeenth century, overseas trade was vital for the European countries as the circulation of currency and commodities allowed nations to function. Rommelse claims in his article that this interdependence of nations caused by necessary trading lead to a rise in economic influence in politics which in turn lead to economic conflicts becoming wars between nations. I agree with his point, and believe this fact is best exemplified in Anglo-Dutch relations. The first two Anglo-Dutch Wars were dominated by economic conflict, but after the treaty of Breda in 1667, economic interests showed a less prevalent effect in Anglo-Dutch political relationships and the third Anglo-Dutch war was unique as its cause was purely political.
