No American politician of the 20th century is more reviled by historians and opinion makers than Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, the Wisconsin Republican whose 1950s anti-Communist crusade is synonymous with witch-hunting and repression. Actually, no politician even comes close. Herbert Hoover? True, the Great Depression occurred on his watch, goes the current wisdom, but Hoover can’t be blamed for a global catastrophe, and his economic programs paved the way for needed reforms. Richard Nixon?
DBQ Jacksonian Democracy Andrew Jackson became a ranked representative figure to a great extent by his praise from the common men, the contempt he received from the Whigs, and his personal viewpoints on social and political matters. During Jackson’s time in office (1829-1837) he lead the nation at a very critical period and made many reforms in law to strengthen the nation. From 1816-1826, Americans were starting to obey the law of the land. In Document B, Flint reflected on this particular decade. Around 1816 there was more violence, but by the time Flint stated “I have never experienced anything that resembled insult..,” that was near the end of decade when more people started to respect each other.

The big ones were in Cumberland, Maryland, Wheeling, Virginia, and Vandelia, Illinois. A big one for economy and government on the national level is banking. The first and second banks of the United States (BUS) were chartered by Congess in 1816, and to finish off economic growth in the US was the patent office, beginning in 1790. So many other things like court cases and the tariff of 1816 and 1828 influence economy through the federal government and even though out economy isn’t the best now, all these examples would’ve left us with no economy at all. Without them, we’d be worse off than we are

Lutheranism was expressed in the recent doctrines, which were the ideology behind the revolts of 1520. The sympathy was shown in documents 1, 3, and 6 where the beliefs were more of Protestants in order to show that the revolts were appropriate. In Doc 1, in the official report, there was writing by Leonhard von Eck saying that the demands were more related religiously of “brotherly love” and that was the conflict. Coming from a noble Chancellor of Bavaria, this is surprising in that it shows support for the class and their reasons for the uprising, despite him being a target. Another example is valid in document 3, in the Articles of Peasants of Memmingen where the Peasant Parliament concur with the Chancellor that the religious aspect was major in this part.

(p. 160) The Puritans were well aware of the abuses of the Church of England and wished to “purify” it. Of the Puritans there were two basic mindsets: reform can come from within and we must separate, as the Church is too corrupt to be fixed. The Separatists of course came to America. What they created in America is of significant importance. First and foremost in my mind was the concept of equality.
One of the most important issues in the church was education and financial security. Hitler understood that the Church was willing to sacrifice and was able to take advantage, as Paul explains “Hitler sought to eliminate Catholic opposition in favor of obligatory loyalty to his regime. For its part, the church was obsessed with its educational privileges, and especially with securing fresh sources of income. It would willingly sacrifice political power to protect them. As both sides worked in haste to produce a treaty that would normally have required years to complete, Hitler took masterful advantage of Vatican over eagerness.”(Paul, 11) This excerpt shows how desperate the Catholic Church was to retain its core values, even if it meant losing its political
They sold indulgences to Christians – a payment due for committing sins. In 1517 Luther wrote his Disputation of Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences, otherwise known as The 95 Theses. He sent the document and a letter to his Bishop, Albert of Mainz against the sale of Indulgences. “Thesis 86, asks: "Why does the pope, whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build the basilica of St. Peter with the money of poor believers rather than with his own money?" This and the other theses challenged the authority of the Roman Catholic religion and the Pope.
