Liberals Vs Radicals

In the book, The Radical and the Republican, was a very interesting, informative read. It made me actually picture myself during that era, and feel how the main people in the book were so passionate about slavery. It focused on the attitudes and the political stand points of Abraham Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass, towards the issue on slavery and the emancipation of slaves. James Oake’s portrayal of both men was extremely positive. He went into detail about their politics and their reasons behind their public positions, regarding slavery. “Their minds worked differently. Though they both hated slavery, they both hated it in different ways and not always for the same reasons. Their

     The Republicans and Democrats didn’t really have strong opposing beliefs during this period. The Republicans supported high tariffs and sound money. The Democrats supported lower tariffs and expanded currency. Both rural and urban classes supported each party. They worked with spoils and local issues. Both

The ideas of nationalism and sectionalism in the early 1800s played a large role in the presidential elections leading up to the Civil War. Nationalism is when the population of a nation has love for their country put their country first. Sectionalism is when the population identifies more with the ideals of their region more than they identify with the nation as a whole. Please two ideas would become the basis of the Missouri compromise, the Monroe doctrine, and this establishment of new political parties in the United States during the early 1800s.

a. Both socialism and Nationalism worked together to fight against imperial rule. Nationalism brought the people of India and Southeast Asia together while Socialism went against Western ideals.

In the early 1800s, the North began to industrialize and the South relied more heavily on growing cotton. At the same time, a rising sense of nationalism pulled people from different regions together. Nationalism is a feeling of pride, loyalty, and protectiveness toward your country. Sectionalism was when people had a feeling of pride in a small region or part of a nation. The War of 1812 sent a wave of nationalist feeling through the United States. Representative Henry Clay, from Kentucky, was a strong nationalist. After the war, President James Madison supported Clay’s plan to strengthen the country and unify its different regions. Nationalism and Sectionalism were present during the early 1800s. The people who carried out Nationalism had pride in their whole nation and the people who carried out Sectionalism had pride in part of a nation but, not the nation as a whole. Nationalists based their actions off trying to benefit the whole nation, the idea of nationalism was created to increase revenue in America. Sectionalism became a problem because Americans either saw themselves as southerners or northerners and the country became very divided. Sectionalism was one of the major reasons that the civil war began because of the divide between the south and the north. Sectional sentiments challenged nationalism, but the latter remained strong among the American people. Nationalism also prevailed due to the ideologies and actions of the country's leaders in the executive and

After the War of 1812, a widespread nationalism spread throughout the country called the “The Era of Good Feelings.” The federalist party has nearly been wiped out at a national scale. This meant everyone was a Democratic-Republican as they are unable to elect a new president in 1816 and James Monroe wins the election unopposed. Nationalism was expanding throughout the country at a fast rate however sectionalism was also emerging in the country. Even though the government was under a one-party rule, there was conflict within the party as some people have adopted old Federalist views while others maintained their strict ideals. The “Era of Good Feelings” was not a completely accurate label as it was a period where nationalist views overtook

These radicals address the issues in America today, but they let the problems expand even more over a certain period. This leads to the inequality suffered between rich, working class, and the poor. They do not exactly have a detailed plan to help unify the entire nation of America where everyone prospers. Our discontent with progression overall in America today is relevant; however, there is not a detailed political agenda to strive towards reaching the goals we set to become a superpower as we once were during WWII. The radicals even consider a simple idea by the people to be a far left or far right-wing idea. The dislike towards each other’s belief politically are tearing us apart. We are in a state in which bipartisanship has increased vastly compared to previously. Our political sphere has a purpose for gaining respect, dignity, and identity for our contribution, yet we need to show love and compassion for who the person is, not judge them by their beliefs. Through this, the trust in human nature can be revived once again and exponentially grow our economy in

Nationalism and liberalism were two popular political philosophies of the late 19th century. Nationalism is the aspiration of a people with a common language, culture and traditions to be unified. Nationalism grew into a movement after 1815, influenced by literature, music, politics and economic developments between the northern Germany states. By 1848, nationalism was strong among Germans, but the course to unify German would prove to take time.

The first amendment states that the US has the right to have freedom of religion and speech. The conservatives were highly protective over this amendment because most of them were religious. Conservatives believe that citizens have the right to bear arms and keep guns around. They believe that gun control does not prevent criminals from obtaining guns. The conservatives believe that taxes should be lowered because they create more of an incentive for people to work, save money, invest money, and engage in entrepreneurial endeavors.

Gary Galles in his article, “The Antifederalists Were Right” demonstrates that in many aspects the Anti-federalists have not been referred to correctly, since federalism means a decentralized government. In fact, the federalist should be more respectfully referred to as nationalists.

Nationalism as an intellectual, artistic, and political movement was a product of the French Revolution. In the aftermath of the overthrow of what had been

While very similar to regular nationalism it was the idea of political loyalty to the nation-state. And the political mobilization of cultural nationalism. It was most closely associated with nationalist movements across Europe. Specifically the rebellions.

Life in Europe took some wild turns during the 20th century, making political parties and ideologies split in many different directions. Nationalism was derived from Enlightenment Thought that represented the nation under one law. Even though the conservatives at the time opposed the idea and socialists were split, things still continuously changed. “Nationalism… was another radical idea that gained popularity in the years after 1815 [and] ... found inspiration in the vision of the people united by a common language, a common history and culture, and a common territory” (McKay 663). Nationalism, also considered liberalism, which brought on ideas of election and the want for constitutions, led to every government with a constitutional

Nationalism: Might of Unity and Disunity Nationalism drives peoples of similar heritages and dreams to take great pride in their own ethnic group or country. It brings new nations together and destroys old one as a powerful and overwhelming force of both unity and disunity. Nationalism especially had an effect on Italian unification, bringing the people to unite under three key leaders; Mazzini, Cavour, and Garibaldi. While nationalism certainly brought Italians together, it spread far past the peninsula and into the Austrian empire, where it broke the people apart.

A strong example of the crucial role of a leader in cementing feelings of ethnic nationalism can be found in the development of an ideology known as fascism in the mid 20th century. Fascism is regarded as a totalitarian ideology that mandates absolute loyalty to the state (Goad, 1944). Under a fascist government, all aspects of society are forcibly subordinated to fit a specific ideological vision of the community. For a fascist ideology to achieve successful implementation in a state, it is crucial that power is embodied by a central leader that aims to fight liberalism and marxism. The method through which prominent fascist leaders have successfully secured that position of
