What is French?

France and French history appear across a wide range of academic disciplines, from political history and economics to art history and film studies. Students encounter this subject in history, social studies, international relations, and humanities courses, where France serves as a focal point for examining European politics, colonial expansion, cultural production, and economic theory. The breadth of the topic reflects France's long historical influence—its conflicts with Britain and its role in shaping North American history through events like the French and Indian War make it a recurring subject in courses covering early modern and colonial history, while French art movements and cinema invite analysis in arts and media programs.

The archived papers approach this subject from several distinct angles. Historical and political analysis dominates, with essays examining the French and Indian War, British legislation between 1764 and 1774, and the motivations of colonial powers and Amerindian peoples caught between competing empires. Cultural and artistic perspectives also feature prominently, including work on the French New Wave's influence on modern film directors and analysis of figures like Pierre Bonnard and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in connection with La Revue blanche. Some papers engage economic frameworks, such as the Fama-French model in contrast to the Markowitz Portfolio theory.

A strong essay on a French-related topic begins with a tightly scoped thesis that connects a specific event, movement, or figure to a broader historical or cultural argument. Evidence drawn from primary sources, policy documents, or close analysis of artistic works tends to carry the most weight. A common pitfall is treating "French" as a geographic backdrop rather than an active force—strong papers consistently examine how French institutions, individuals, or conflicts directly shaped outcomes in politics, culture, or economics.

Thomas Jefferson's major policies and party alignment analysis

Thomas Jefferson was a man of many ideals. He had a strong belief in the separate rights of states and in the development of the agricultural industry as the sole economic source for the United States. However, his military action, his purchase of the Louisiana Territory, and the forced removal of thousands of Native Americans, made him less of a follower of his own political party, and more in line with those of the Federalist Party.
