Strategic factors played a changing role in Britain’s relationship with its African empire throughout the expansion period 1870-1902, the consolidation period 1902-1955 and the de-colonisation period 1955-1981. In some of these periods Strategy was right at the foreground of Britain’s rule in Africa and other times it was pushed to the back by other major factors. These include economic considerations, International relations, changing attitudes and nationalism. Many historians such as Martin Pugh saw that ‘the most obvious motive for British expansion was strategic’. Britain’s strategic motives in Africa centred on thwarting the growth of rival European powers as well as securing its interests in Africa.

Shannon presents ideas and viewpoints that help give insight to reasons the Atlantic World formed into what it is now. Atlantic Lives has an immense amount of relevance to the course, The Atlantic World 1600-1800. Atlantic Lives looks at events from Columbus’s discovery of the Americas through the Age of Revolutions. Shannon gathers first hand accounts from different occurrences throughout the Atlantic including Europe, Africa, and the Americas. “The objective of this design is to provide both the skeleton of a narrative overview of the Atlantic World and an introduction to the major topics in the field (Shannon, xi-xii).” Atlantic Lives touches on many aspects of the Atlantic world such as contact between Europeans and natives in the Americas, experiences with African slave trade, the role of gender, and various other areas.
He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom. The pursuit to own land and accumulate wealth, and not be under the rule of the crown was first and foremost in the early colonists minds. Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America.
Protectionism gives a creative look at the key international economic issues facing America and American business. It also provides a new perspective on how international trade can affects us, with issues concerning protectionism and free market. Roberts’ uses simplistic terms to tell a story that follows the time-traveling journey of Ed Johnson, and his guardian angel David Ricardo. Throughout this journey, Dave’s main purpose is to educate Ed about free trade and protectionism just before the time the country is about to embark on a course of total protectionism in the 1960s, by which Ed had a massive influence on. In doing this task it gives Dave the opportunity to change his status as a wanderer in the courts of heaven.

The duty of Congress to promote for the general welfare of the United States immediately precedes the enumerated power to regulate commerce among the states in Article One of the Constitution. Thus, the limitations of commercial power may be associated with the task of promoting for the general welfare. To take the argument a step further, it can then be conceived that the General Welfare Clause endows the national government a power, commercial or not, that is implicitly separate from the enumerated powers when circumstances raise a truly national problem with a resolution that transcends individual states’ abilities. Indeed, during the Great Depression Franklin Roosevelt justified unprecedented commercial legislation with the same interpretive logic as he informed Congress in 1934, “If, as our Constitution tells us, our Federal Government was established among other things ‘to promote the general welfare,’ it is our plain duty to provide for that security upon which welfare depends” (Gillman 458). It should have come as no surprise then that the Wagner and Social Security Acts soon became major parts of the political
