Patrick Connolly Mr. Campbell Honors American History 27 January 2013 Reconstruction or Restoration? Directly following the Civil War, there were many questions left unanswered. Supposedly the North had won, and it was up to the remaining leaders to decide: what to do about the rebel leaders, what to do about the seceded states, and what to do about the freed slaves. A lot of those questions were answered during the period of ?reconstruction,? but the process of figuring those things out was a very shaky one. To reconstruct is to ?construct again,? or ?rebuild.? It can also be argued that this period following the Civil War was a time of restoration (the bringing back or reinstating) of the South to its previous state.

Patrick Connolly Mr. Campbell Honors American History 28 November 2012 President Jackson: Dictator or Democrat? For the entire duration of John Quincy Adams? presidency, Americans were itching for someone new. They needed someone rough and tough who could serve as not just a president, but as a national hero. Jackson was the perfect candidate for the job, standing tall and mighty over America with a face that was testament to all the many battles and duels he had endured. Having technically won the popular vote in the 1824 election, which was supposedly ?corrupt,? there was virtually no competition for Jackson in the 1828 election. While John Quincy did run again, Jackson won by a landslide with the electoral vote being 68% for Jackson to a mere 32% vote for Adams.

?The debate over the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 revealed bitter controversies on a number of issues. Discuss the issues and explain why these controversies developed.? Allie Kaltenbach The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 were the result of many years of built up tension between the Federalists and Democratic Republicans. Each party interpreted the constitution differently, leading to the inability to agree on many issues that arose including how to deal with international matters. The overall outcome was the passing of these acts by the Federalists.
