The value of literature as a source of knowledge is a timeless debate that varies depending on how knowledge is defined. I will adopt Hillary Putnam’s theory of “Knowledge of a Possibility” (Putnam 488) in “Literature Science, and Reflection” (1976), and focus on the value of literature as a source of conceptual knowledge. The emergence of the novel brought with it conventions for a more realistic writing style that aimed to appeal to the common readers. Variations of the degree of realism ranged

Calhoun served two terms as Vice President: in 1825 with John Quincy and in 1829 with Andrew Jackson. In 1832 he quit his Vice President position and returned to South Carolina as a Senator, a position which he held for eleven years. In

On many accounts people look back on Andrew Jackson and applaud his terms as president. But those people do not look closer into his term on the huge mistake he made. To appeal his personal feelings and not for the greater good of the country, president Jackson vetoed the bill that would renew the Bank of the United States (BUS) in 1832.

Before Europeans arrived in present-day America, the Native Americans were living on millions

to the loss of many cultures and precious lives. Some of the ways this happened was by the removal of rights, battles, untruthful treaties, and confiscation of land. In many ways American history books and movies portray Christopher Columbus, Andrew Jackson, and President Van Buren to be American heroes, but these so-called “heroes” are actually murderers, thieves, and liars. Jackson and Van Buren believed that the Indians needed to become civilized and convert to Christianity, yet the actions

The feeling of change, is one many are afraid of. Moreover, the possibility of moving on from the style of one life into the unknown world where they are vulnerable, is frightening to many, unthinkable to some. After the Civil War, hundreds of thousands of Southerners refused to believe in a world where African Americans were also citizens of the Union, one where they were all men were free. While most maintained peace in order to prevent more mayhem, some decided to act out. John Wilkes Booth was

anarchy. Though each individual was to be given an equal start in life, equality of opportunity did not mean equality of results. In the campaign of 1828, Jackson, known as “Old Hickory”, triumphed over the unpopular President John Adams. Following Andrew Jackson’s election of 1828, a birth of a new era of mass democracy came about and influenced a revolution in American history. Of course, he could not go about making such radical changes without supports, but that never created a problem. Jacksonian
