11.26.13

Really the only difference is that the declaration of sentiments states the negligence of men toward the obligated rights of women, whereas the the declaration of independence and spoke of natural rights and freedom.  The way Jefferson applied life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to men and property owners; they appointed to women.

Julius Caesar and Andrew Jackson

Julius Caesar was a tyrant and the dictator of Rome. He was intertwined with the events that led up to the fall of the Roman Empire. He got far  with reforms and building the roman republic up with eminent ambition and tenacity.
I see how a correlation between Caesar and such leaders as Andrew Jackson could be made. They had passion in their eyes and a fire under their butts, so to speak. They both did their own thing, they got things done their own way, and in the end leaving a pretty significant mark in our textbooks.

Andrew Jackson

He carries the characteristics of how he was as an adult from his childhood. He was an orphan by the time he was a pre tween and his detest for the British government was substantial enough to lead his whole career. As a young man he fell in love with the already married daughter of a prominent family and they ran away together. Talk of this past event would hinder his run in office for presidency later on. He gave up on politics once and went on to his passion of horses, drinking, and money. But he couldn't stay away too long, he eventually ran for president and had his name on some of the most prominent events in history. Leaving in his stead, the most controversial presidency in American history.

11.13.13

The colonist believed in this superficial thing of Manifest Destiny. Manifest destiny is the belief that god has appointed them the land of the north. It's a "god given right" to cultivate the land.
In other words, the people believed the land was theirs and the lords and they were born to run over it. This meant they spent no time regarding the native people or land that was there to begin with.

Market Revolution

The rise of modern day industry, factories, and the migration of people. The market revolution consist of business expansion and evolution. It birthed the rise of factories and and a desire for the the average working man. People moved from small farms and cropping to more concentrated areas and working in warehouses. Incidentally, the pay was utterly inadequate for the working conditions they endured. The market revolution changed how goods and products were imported and exported and sold and made. The demographic of workers and cities and stuff changed.
The age of machines and factories paved the way for uprising cities and economics itself. It was the beginning of forever essentially in changing the ways of  people and business and the economy. It literally moved a nation, it moved people, it changed history and gave a new outlook of how money and goods could be distributed and manufactured .

11.5.13

Manifest destiny is the belief that God appointed the people to expand and live in North America.
It's the belief that the land was chosen and allotted to them by such god.
Its really superficial.

English captain, John Mason, burned and massacred the majority of the Pequot Indian tribe. He went in and originally planned to kill the Indians and steal from them. But they underestimated the natives and opted to trap and burn them within their homes. Nearly all of the population of these people perished and the remaining few were sold into slavery.
