The colonies were in a predicament where they wanted to control their own economic issues but could not because of the strict British control. The British enacted a policy of salutary neglect that provided a sense of pity for the colonies. The British later merged their mercantilist economy into the Triangular trade. Explain what the Triangular trade was. This trade route not only helped the colonial
The new Manifest Destiny differed from the old in that it consisted of expansion to foreign areas to improve trade and contribute to the growth of the American economy; however it remained the same in that American citizens believed their reasons for expansionism were justified by God’s given right and that they were even saving the people of the territories by the spread of Anglo-Saxon values. Differing from past imperialism eras, the expansion of the 20th century dealt with foreign countries and the intervention of many foreign affairs (Doc G). The beginning of American expansion into Latin America began with a boundary dispute between Venezuela and Britain in the late 1890’s. A nervous President Cleveland threatened war with the British, who were a potential threat to America’s security with their presence in Venezuela. After this affair, America defended all of the Latin American countries and protected them under the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary.
In the 1700s, Europeans saw numerous opportunities in the New World. They envisioned the colonization as a chance for them to live a free and prosperous life, but, in reality, the American colonists faced many setbacks. The tension between Great Britain and the New England colonies led to American Revolution. In Transcript of Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson acknowledged how the act of force was a rational option in order to obtain liberty from Great Britain; however, in The Rise and Fall of the Newburgh Conspiracy, George Marshall depicted how there is a more reasonable alternative to resolving problems within the new independent country. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson explained how governments should not be overthrown for petty reasons, but he believed the King of Great Britain had taken the situation too far.
What impacts did the Hyksos have on New Kingdom Egypt? The Hyksos impacted this era in Egyptian history through many significant cultural and technological developments. The foreign kings, who adopted the titles and regalia of the Egyptian pharaohs, dominated Egypt for most of the Second Intermediate Period. Frequently referred to as ‘Asiatics’ by the Egyptians, the Hyksos originated from the Middle East and extended their political and economic influence as far as Cusae in Middle Egypt. The actions of the Hyksos forced the Egyptians to become more conscious of security, adopt military policies, and reform the Egyptian army.
Napoleon planned an attack on the Royalists and defeated them again. Napoleon became indispensable to the Directory he returned to Paris from Italy as a hero, more popular than the Directors. In 1798 Napoleon planned to invade Britain but on realizing the French were not equipped to do so, he decided to do an expedition to Egypt instead.

Era of Good Feelings (1815-1825) DBQ Question: Historians have traditionally labeled the period after the War of 1812 the “Era of Good Feelings.” Evaluate the accuracy of this label, considering the emergence of nationalism and sectionalism. “Era of Good Feelings,” was a period of time beginning around the War of 1812 in which American nationalism was, supposedly, fully and wholly practiced. So, even though diplomatic nationalism was apparent during the “Era of Good Feelings,” political as well as economic sectionalism did take place. The period after the War of 1812 should not be considered the Era of Good Feelings because of the rapid growth of sectionalism due to territorial disputes, and growing political differences;These greatly overshadowed the attempts to improve nationalism amongst the American citizens. After the War of 1812 many problems over keeping the balance between slave and Free states, arose which contributed to the growth of sectionalism in America.
France wasn’t part of the colonies like America was, America was sick of being treated badly, and unfairly so they decided to fight. But as for France they were having trouble with their government and needed to create a new one witch they did. And to me it seems like America had much more at stake. The American and French Revolution both worked out in favor of France and for America they both got what they wanted France got the government they fought for, and America parted ways with Britain. The two revolutions were a big part in both America’s history, and a big part in Frances history.
The American Revolution was one the most important events in American history. Most people think that it was a war fought between the British and Americans for American independence and that the Americans had won. The Americans were tired of the British testing their power in the new colonies, so they had started to smuggle and boycott goods from Britain. Eventually the colonies grew impatient and decided that they wanted their independence. The year 1763 was marked as a turning point in American History.
The reasons for this were the new intellectual ideas coming out of Britain during the industrial revolution, mostly ideas from humanitarian philosophy. Contained in the new, rapid influx of late enlightenment philosophies was this new humanitarian philosophy that all men are created equal. While essentially reiterating most of the Lockian philosophy which dominated pre-slavery times, this put a great emphasis on combating the trend of slavery and breaking down all other barriers that limited any culture of man. The British government eventually came under this philosophy when they officially banned slavery in their country in the early 19th century. This put a huge damper on the triangular trade that put slavery in many other countries and thus led to the downfall of slavery in all modern countries.
Race was an issue as well; people saw the darker skinned races as inherently inferior and savage. These were all solidified in our nation's mind from long ago. Some contest this, saying that one cannot hold economic reasons solely accountable for Americas expansion into a world power. hat was to stop one of the nations that was become more powerful from simply refusing to recognize the document. Other nations had put the squeeze on America by threatening their security as a powerful nation and their dominance of the Western Hemisphere.
