Dean Melillo, I have found a wondrous student that would be perfect for our University, his name is Lincoln Steffens. Lincoln Steffens is a famous muckraker, Who fought for political corruption, controlling the gap between rich and poor and ending Laissez-Faire. He did so, by writing hundreds of articles in multiple magazines and newspapers against cities and groups all around the country. I strongly recommend you admit Lincoln Steffens to the United States University.
Lincoln Steffens had great success, mostly from his mentor Jacob Riis, but he was also the man in the shadows. For instance, he helped Upton Sinclair with his meat packing industry plan. He helped Ida Tarbell with her article on the Standard Oil Industry. He also helped many more young and inspiring Muckrakers with their projects. Which appoints that he stands for the six goals of the Progressive Movement.

Even though he was a fantastic muckraker he had his beliefs that separated him from other people. For instance, around 1916 Lincoln Steffens took a trip to Mexico to gather information of an article about the Mexican American tension. But instead he decided to take Mexico’s side of things, because of their unique universal designs. Another example was when he died in 1936 at the age of seventy. He was convinced that liberal democracy was dead, and that communism was inevitable. He believed that because of his 1921 trip to Russia with his new wife Ella Winter, and a few others. He originally was there with William Bullitt, who was Secretary of State at the time, they were sent to negotiate with the Russians, and Steffens started to grow fonder of the Russians. After that trip he became a man of the communists. But, at the same time, he did help stop the

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to impact a country? Well these reformers could tell you. William lloyd Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe were both effective reformers of the mid-1800’s who both supported and dedicated their lives for abolition. Throughout the 1800’s both Stowe and Garrison made a long-lasting impact on the society and culture of America.
When asked about abolitionists, one person that comes to mind is Frederick Douglass. He was considered one of the most influential people of the movement, and he is certainly someone who stands out. But why? What makes Douglass so special is the fact that he escaped slavery but then put himself right back into a dangerous situation for the greater good. Running to the North was risky, but putting his name out after doing what he did was far worse. He was fighting against slavery in the 1940s, but at that time there weren't thousands of people to back him up since the Civil War hadn’t started yet. Not only that, but he was able to overcome slavery which gave hope to other slaves and abolitionists during the battle for freedom and human rights.
Have you ever wondered what America would be like today if slavery still existed? Well, thanks to Abraham Lincoln, we don’t have to. Abe Lincoln, the United States’ 16th president, possibly left the biggest impact in America’s history to this day.
SPEAKER | Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States of America and he help office during the Civil War. During the Civil War, the North and South split into two sides – the Union in the north led by president Lincoln and the Confederacy in the south led by president Davis. Originally, the Civil War was not an attempt by Lincoln to abolish slavery and emancipate the slaves, but to preserve and protect the Union, but later Lincoln decided that ending slavery was a key step necessary to winning the war. He was assassinated on April 15, 1865 by John Wilkes Booth. | OCCASION | Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg
Abraham Lincoln did a lot to forge freedom of the slaves but his untimely death due to his assassination by John Wilkes Booth ended and halted the work that he was doing in this area. However, later there would be others in the Republican and Democratic Party to pick up the banner and move the country forward.
He also made a claim that he had a list of 205 State Department employees who were members of the Communist Party and that communist spies were everywhere and Communists were helping to shape the foreign policies because of this, and basically that he was America’s only hope.
Abraham Lincoln was considered by many American’s as one of the greatest Presidents of the United States. Having come from humble beginnings it could be said that Abraham Lincoln rose up to meet all the challenges that would greet him, and it could be argued that at the time the only person who could successfully guide the United States through the Civil War was Abraham Lincoln. At the time of his presidency, the United States was falling apart, with the South trying to secede from the North, creating much chaos that Lincoln had to deal with. He worked slowly and throughly, which sometimes got people agitated but he was a very careful working man and knew that it was better if he took his time. Abraham Lincoln was not
Abraham Lincoln influenced america and other historical figures. Martin Luther King Jr. and Lincoln were one of the most prominent leaders when it came to slavery. He showed courage to stand up for what’s right and fight against for what’s wrong. Without Abe Lincoln we would not be in the position and success we have in the modern world (smithsonian). Abe Lincoln was a “Progressive man”, he made strides to free the slaves and to abolish slavery(smithsonian1). He was one of the most known and recognized leaders in american history.
I felt very strongly towards his views concerning most everything. It made me feel bad for being a white person hearing everything he said about the treatment of blacks by whites. His "homemade education" made him a very great man of his time, but was hated by most whites because of
Mr. Du Bois he too was an advocate for economical success for black but not at the price of giving up your rights as a citizen. He felt blacks could be successful as well as educated. He felt blacks should not have to take the low road of inferiority to achieve financial solidity.
After reviewing the Admissions Philosophy Statement, I believe that many of my qualities fit into the Statement and can add value to your community of scholars. I always aim to do the best work that I can for all of my assignments, and I take classes that I believe will challenge me, even if it means I might get a lower grade than I would in an easier class. Although I spend much of my time doing schoolwork, I always try to make time for creative endeavours; I enjoy writing and drawing in my spare time. My school is not culturally diverse, but I often travel to visit a friend in Philadelphia, and this allows me to actively learn about and understand people with social, intellectual, and cultural differences from me. I do not actively volunteer,
For “premium” chocolate maker Scharffen Berger (SB), quality is king. Their distinct process creates a “taste experience” second to none, an unparalleled quality that must be maintained despite apparent capacity issues. To satisfy the rising market’s demand for its product, it must address three primary issues related to capacity: bottlenecks, expansion, and economies of scale. The current bottleneck in the Conche (output=1,344 kg. /day) will be remedied with the installation of the ball mill, however other bottlenecks will be created starting at the Melangeur. A cost-benefit analysis has determined a need for a second melangeur as well as added Roasting time from 8 hours/day to 12-13 hours/day to keep up with the
Frederick Douglass is perhaps the most well-known abolitionist from American history. He is responsible for creating a lot of support for the abolitionist movement in the years before the Civil War. He, along with many others, was able to gain support for and attention to the abolitionist movement. People like him are the reason that slavery ended in the United States.
