The Progressive Era from 1900-1920 was not effective of bringing about true progressive reforms at the national level because it had been a slow process by the presidents co-opting the ideas of true progressives, limited trust busting, which led to corporations expanding abroad, and continuous racial injustice towards African Americans. Even though there were some improvements made, such as women's suffrage, the reform of unsanitary practices in the food industry, and child labor laws, these changes occurred at a conservative pace, not at all radically.

The Civil War is known most commonly as the war that freed the slaves, but when the war ended and all was said and done, were the slaves really all that free? The war sent the United States into ‘Reconstruction’, a period of around eleven years where the war’s aftershock, the new laws on slavery, and the backlash that came with these laws was dealt with. After the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed and slavery was officially illegalized, things took a pretty big change of course. The previous slave-owners were at a loss for what to do, and in a way so were the newly freed African Americans. Both parties had grown to rely on each other in order to support themselves and survive, and that relationship would continue to

However without the help of England, America would never have reached this point. England’s tyrannical economic policies were key to the separation of England and the colonies.

In 1763, the British and the colonists emerged victorious from the Seven Years’ War after the signing of peace terms at Paris, granting Britain a colonial empire in North America and an end to control of North American lands by the French and groups of Native Americans. These similarities did not last long, however. On October 7, 1763, Parliament passed the Proclamation of 1763, prohibiting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains, a frontier which the colonists believed they could explore after defending and securing a New World empire. This angered the colonists, and their bitterness toward their mother country would become significantly stronger over the following twelve years leading up to the inception of war with Britain.

The Battle of Lexington was the beginning of the Revolutionary War and where the colonists first stood up for their rights. According to the accounts the first shots were most likely fired by the British soldiers. As document A was written by a soldier who claimed he thought the “first one or two” shots came from the minutemen. It was also stated that after those alleged shots the British militia (in a state of panic) began to shoot back wildly without being ordered too. Which seems unlikely as the soldiers had been trained and should have been prepared to handle the situation calmly. Document B had thirty-two recorded account days after the battle, with men under oath, that stated “to their knowledge they did not shoot until they were fired

The purpose of Document B was to convince the reader that the “Dark Ages” of Europe were actually not actually dark and in fact, they had made a lot of accomplishments and advances. In comparison, the purpose of Document A seems to be convincing the reader that the Dark Ages were really “dark” because of many reasons such as an unstable government and plague. Source A is trying to convey the message that there were just too many things in the Dark Ages that went wrong and were bad that caused it to really become a dark time in history.
