Reformers' Work in the Progressive Era
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing arguing that the reforms of the Progressive Era were for the good of the working class, alleviating more problems than they caused. Today, a common call is that of reducing the size and invasiveness of government, and it is one that is valid in today's society. At the time of the greatest activities of the reformers, however, there was little regard for the public interest It was the height of industrialization, and the progressives collectively were the voice claiming that making the rules along the way had not worked in many areas, that government needed to step in and alter those rules for the good of the people and of the country itself.

Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg
[ send me this paper ]
A 25 page paper discussing some of General Lee's decisions and the relationships with his generals surrounding the Gettysburg campaign. Robert E. Lee was elevated to near-deity status both during and after the Civil War, but some of his more human qualities have come to light in recent years. General Longstreet was maligned for years as the reason for the failure of the Confederate army at Gettysburg, but he has been relieved of this distinction as other details surrounding the Gettysburg series of battles have been discovered. While there is no doubt that General Lee was a charismatic leader of fighting men, there is increasing evidence that he did not take full advantage of counsel of his generals that possibly could have prevented the devastating losses of both the Union and Confederate sides at Gettysburg. Bibliography lists 26 sources in 45 footnotes.

Robert E. Lee's Loyalty to the South
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing Robert E. Lee's motivations for declining President Lincoln's offer of command of the Union army at the outbreak of the Civil War. There is no question that Robert E. Lee was a master of military strategy and that he was a man of the Southern tradition of honor. That he would cast his lot with the South rather than to be disloyal to his native Virginia is testament to the depth of his commitment. Lee knew going into the war and upon resigning his commission with the US army that he was joining a losing proposition, but he chose what appeared to him to be the side of personal honor, rather than that of political loyalty. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
