In the fifth chapter, "The Conspiracy", Ellis examines the triumph of Jefferson and Madison in creating the two-party system in American politics by creating the Democratic-Republican Party.

Conspiracy Rising: Conspiracy Thinking and American Public Life questions the popularity of conspiracy post 9/11 and government secrecy which calls for analysis of comparative work of prior historians. Martha Lee, professor of political science at the University of Windsor, observes current obsession over President Obama's birthplace as a replacement for government involvement in 9/11. However, she argues that although conspiracy changes through different events, the cause for it remains similar to those of the 19th century. Lee, in the first part of the article, explains her deep appreciation to Knight’s work. As his work shows the global changes in political, economic, and social structures that produce fear and anxiety among society. Lee
Nicaragua is surrounded by its beautiful nature including its incredible history. The name ‘Nicaragua’ came from a chief named Nicarao.

It is estimated that the Chinese navy’s fleet will outnumber the U.S. by 2020. Not only is China expanding in sheer numbers, but it is also expanding its assertion for dominance in the Western Hemisphere. Two years ago, Nicaragua granted a Chinese company the right to build an alternative to the Panama Canal. When finished, the canal will stretch along the entirety of Nicaragua, dividing the country in two, to allow large vessels to travel through it.

As early as the 1500’s, the idea of constructing a ship canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans occurred to navigators and explorers, as the geographical form of the Central American Isthmus was becoming known. Many Isthmus surveys were made over the years. Opinion remained divided between a route through Panama and a longer route through Nicaragua. This divided opinion continued until the building of the Panama Canal was begun by the U.S. in 1904. By the end of the century the U.S. government would find themselves in an unnerving situation; concerned with the Panama Canal and other economic interests would unfortunately demonstrate unequaled force and damage to an innocent people with their focus on something

Today I am going to talk about the Panama Canal and the history and the determination that it took to complete this enormous feet. It started with the French in the 1880's but, was abandoned after technological difficulties and diseases it could not be completed at that time. The need for the canal was great; for military purposes and for shipping purposes because without this canal ships would have to go all the way around south america instead of cutting through the canal to get from the pacific and atlantic oceans. With being able to cut through people save time and money and in the event of a war the war ships could get there much faster. In order for the United States to be able to get the land required for the canal the United States
In the 1960s and 70s, the Nicaraguan Revolution indicated the rebellion against the Somoza dictatorship. This coup showed a massive shift in the political geography of Nicaragua at the time. The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN, Frente Sandinista de Liberacion) usurped the established Somozas and soon after engaged in warfare with the Contras in the 1980s in what is now known as the Contra War. This bloody period of Nicaragua’s history saw a shifting in the political structure and geography of the nation, steering Nicaragua into international spotlight.
The Panama Canal was built in the early 20th century. Before this marvelous canal was built, it was just an idea to the world. The French had first attempted to build this plan, this dream, to connect the Pacific ocean and Atlantic ocean, creating a much easier, faster, route from America to the Asian markets. However, the French encountered disease, death, and corruption. After this drastic end to the French's journey to creating the canal, the Americans had a different perspective and look on this plan that the French previously failed. Roosevelt wanted the America to be percieved as if they had world power. He wanted to protect and preserve American interest. The Americans helped Panama gain independence when Colombia rejected proposed project in Panama. When America embarked on this project, Americans left their families for Panama and started under the leadership of John Stevens, who built many successful railroads. Soon, the making of this Canal would generate thousands of jobs yearly, for skilled and unskilled workers who returned home with riches. The Panama Canal was the biggest industrial project in history.
