George Washington had to borrow money to relocate to New York, then the center of American government. His presidential inauguration was held near New York 's Wall Street in late April 1789. A tremendous crowd showed up to see the man now known as "the Father of His Country." Borrowing a custom from English monarchs, who by tradition address Parliament when its sessions open, Washington gave a brief speech. It was the first inaugural address and the first of many contributions that Washington would

“The Father of His Country” What is the one question that teachers and family members always asked you growing up? That’s right, what do you want to be when you grow up? It’s that one question that had a million different answers until you finally get to college and you actually have to decide because you need to do something with your life. As a kid, it was always a police officer, firefighter, teacher, princess, or ruler of the world. When you get to college, those answers change to banker, architect

York newspapers. The Federalist or most commonly known as The Federalist Papers, were published during the years 1787 to 1788, under the anonymous name of “Publius” (Federalist Party). These papers, were written by the three founders of federalism, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, who were solid supporters of America’s need of a road map towards political success. “The main goal of The Federalist was to show that the Constitution was both coherent and republican” (Kramnick viii). One

South grew. In the Tariff of 1828 (Tariff of Abominations), there were higher protective tariffs to New England Mills; and Southerners were outraged including Calhoun. On July 11, 1804, a bullet from Aaron Burr’s pistol put an end to the life of Alexander Hamilton. However, it did not put an end to Hamilton’s vision for America. In 1806, a twenty-nine year old Kentuckian entered the U.S Senate and breathed life into Hamilton’s vision. His name was Henry Clay. For the next forty years, the man whom

There are few topics in history that garner more attention and study than Alexander the Great. Almost everyone in the western world has heard of Alexander in school, books, or in other cultural depictions. However, his effect on the history of the world cannot be overstated. Alexander’s empire had an effect on people from the Balkans to Egypt, and from Babylon to India. His empire resolved the long standing conflict between the Persians and Greeks, established multiple cities across the Middle East

Alexander the Great Alexander the Great was a king and conqueror. He is commonly referred to as “the most powerful leader of all time.” What is it that makes him such a powerful leader? What has he accomplished that has made him so significant? Were his accomplishments positive or negative? These are all questions that when combined as one create a debate that has been going on for decades. There are those who admire Alexander’s military achievements and ability to carve out the largest empire

I, Alexander III, was born the son of a great warrior, King Phillip II of Macedonia and Olympias, daughter of King Neoptolemus I of Epirus. I was born on the 20th of July in 356 BC in Pella Greece. I spent most of my childhood in Pella’s royal court. During my time spent there I hardly ever saw my father because he spent most of his time in military campaigns or with one of his many women. On the other hand, mother, was always there for me, even when I did not ask for her presence. From a young age

It would be a falsity to claim that the United States was ruled primarily through the independent minds of its people. Rather, we can see the absolute appropriation of authority split between two parties; those ruled by the tiresome elephants or those who follow the jackasses. This system of division has been heavily disfavored by our Founding Fathers, especially by John Adams who had stated in his letter to Jonathan Jackson that, “There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic

The Bloodless Revolution of 1800 was a very important event that shaped our nation into what it is today. The Revolution changed America 's history in major ways. The twelfth amendment was created and the party divisions that we see today in our modern government are results of the conflict. The revolution was also a test: could the young nation of America shift power peacefully, as the founding father 's had intended? Or would everything collapse after only one president leading the country? The

The verifiable background of the United States has been more than once stamped by fight to keep up the feelings of our various extraordinary pioneers. Joseph J. Ellis ' novel, Founding Brothers: the Revolutionary Generation, offers an outstanding perspective on why this is; as he withdraws to a rate of the beginnings of American political issues. From our outstandingly origination as a nation, a pretty much tumultuous air enveloped administrative issues, which clearly has doubtlessly continued into
