Historians discuss major themes dealing vast variety materials events encounter studying history.Three themes
Colonial Life Factors
Race, class and gender were highly important factors during colonial life in the country that would become the United States of America. In many ways, the very founding of this country was all about these three separate themes that became increasingly difficult to distinguish from one another once colonial life truly began in earnest. For instance, one can sufficiently argue that class was one of the primary reasons that colonists first came to America -- for the purposes of religious freedom (since religion can be considered a type of class) as well as for economic prosperity. Many colonists initially came to the country as indentured servants who were looking to find a better monetary existence for themselves.
This principle can be demonstrated most effectively by examining literature from and pertaining to Bacon's Rebellion. Essentially, this rebellion was...
At the heart of this rebellion, in which Bacon and a mob consisting of former indentured servants destroyed property in Virginia including substantial acres of plantation land, was the simple fact that these poor people wanted a means -- via their own land that was being inhabited (unfairly, so they thought) by Native Americans -- to earn a living and improve their lot (Bacon 1893). The historical significance of this rebellion, of course, is that due to this class struggle, the colonialists increasingly preferred slavery as their form of labor (Gisolfi 2004). This preference would greatly shape the nation to come.
Furthermore, class has played a highly substantial role in the history of and the foundation of this country. One need only look to the example set by Eliza Lucas Pinckney, who was one of the first women of note to operate a plantation and, in…
However, certain elements of traditional Christian theology are centered on Mary, and the degree of emphasis that those elements receive can be very telling about Mary's actual role in the religion. For example, the connection between female chastity and religious observance seems to have been established by God's choice of a Virgin to carry his son. God did not have to choose a virgin to bear his child, but
When a greater variety of representatives were present, the term zemskii sobor or assembly of the land was applied to the group. This group did not really have any political power as a legislative body. However, it was a way for Ivan's administration to gather support amongst a wide range of people.[25] Ivan felt that he needed the support of the people and of the church to accomplish his reforms. Consequently, one of his early
Industrial Revolution Changed the World Economy? The Industrial Revolution that started in Great Britain in the latter part of eighteenth century is considered by some historians to be the most significant transformation in the economic environment of human civilization after the Agricultural Revolution. While there is no disagreement on the view that the 'revolution' had a great effect on the world economy and transformed the lives of a large number

So who is an American and what an America can or cannot do are questions which are critical to the issue of legalizing immigrants. Does being an American mean you cannot show allegiance to any other country? The images of people raising and waving Mexican flag had enraged many but it need not have. It should be accepted that people who come from different countries would forever hold in their
