Coastal Conflict: How International Law Addresses China's Claims In The South China Sea, Madeline H. Broshears
Coastal Conflict: How International Law Addresses China's Claims In The South China Sea, Madeline H. Broshears
Tenor of Our Times
The South China Sea is home to natural resources and reefs that benefit its surrounding states. International law divides these waters to grant certain rights to each coastal state so as to ensure fair distribution of the waters. As of late, China’s actions in the South China Sea frequently violate the distribution of waters under international law. They have infringed upon the Philippine’s waters and attempted to establish authority over most of the South China Sea, rather than remaining within their own waters. Thus, the Philippines filed arbitration against China, and the ruling rebuked China’s behavior in the South China …

Lex Innocentium: Protections For Their Day And A Legacy For Tomorrow, Meghan Mcelroy

The Great Father Of Washington: Grant’S Indian Policy And The Acquisition Of The Black Hills, Zoie Dean
The Great Father Of Washington: Grant’S Indian Policy And The Acquisition Of The Black Hills, Zoie Dean
Tenor of Our Times
Ulysses S. Grant's Indian policy was viewed as one of the many failures of his presidency. However, upon further analysis of the events and circumstances surrounding the acquisition of the Black Hills, it appears that Grant's sentiments toward the Indians were unlike that of any of his constituents. He saw them as human beings. Though his Indian Policy ultimately failed, Grant's call for peace with the Indians was well ahead of its time.
The King And His Favorites: A Historiographical Analysis Of Edward Ii, Luke Ziegler
The King And His Favorites: A Historiographical Analysis Of Edward Ii, Luke Ziegler
Tenor of Our Times
The historiography of Edward II has painted him as a weak king who deserved deposition, overemphasizing his faults while under-examining the circumstances in which he had to rule. Starting from the earliest chronicles, through the early modern period, 19th and 20th centuries, and through the present, the historiography demonstrated the changes that Edward II’s reputation has undergone. These changes went from thinking of Edward as a weak king who should be blamed for all of England’s ills, to acknowledging and addressing his faults while realizing that not everything was under Edward’s control to fix.

Behind Bars: An Analysis Of The Incarceration Of Black Americans, Tommy A. Valente
Behind Bars: An Analysis Of The Incarceration Of Black Americans, Tommy A. Valente
Tenor of Our Times
In this study, I attempt to explain the disproportionate incarceration rates which exist in the United States. The black American are incarcerated at a significantly higher rate than any other ethnic group in the country. I hypothesize single parent households and poor public education systems will have significant influences on incarceration rates. For this study I run an OLS regression and use data from all fifty states between 2019-2020. I use seven independent variables in this study: ACGR score, GDP per capita, unemployment rate, percent of births to unmarried women, homicide rate, population, and political party affiliation of a state. …
“Blackjack” Pershing’S Punitive Expedition, Jacob Breezeel
“Blackjack” Pershing’S Punitive Expedition, Jacob Breezeel
Tenor of Our Times
In 1916, General Pershing led a force of American troops into Mexico in response to a raid on Columbus, New Mexico. While unsuccessful in achieving the primary mission, the expedition produced advancements in military transportation and aviation and provided valuable experiences to the next generation of generals which were central to America's success in World War I.
Fighting France: The Unsung Heroes And Forgotten Victims Of Free French Africa In Wwii, Elizabeth Crow
Fighting France: The Unsung Heroes And Forgotten Victims Of Free French Africa In Wwii, Elizabeth Crow
Tenor of Our Times
The efforts of native African efforts against the Vichy France and Nazi regimes go unrecognized in the context of Allied progress in the Second World War. The stories of Fighting France, or General de Gaulle’s forces of Free French Africa, reflect the values fought for throughout the war. Recent research has better shed light on the topic and in deserving of further exploration. Academic efforts have allowed better questions to be asked of Fighting France and the degree to which their participation affects the continent today and global systems at large.
Fra Angelico In San Marco: A Comparison Of Fra Angelico’S Frescoes And Altarpieces During His Time In San Marco, Isaac Copeland
Fra Angelico In San Marco: A Comparison Of Fra Angelico’S Frescoes And Altarpieces During His Time In San Marco, Isaac Copeland
Tenor of Our Times
Fra Angelico stood at the crossroads of two major art movements in the early 15th century, the old International Gothic style, and the new Renaissance style. During his stay at San Marco between 1436, when the monastery moved to Florence, and 1445, when Fra Angelico was summoned to Rome, his work reflected elements of both the International Gothic style and the Renaissance style. However, in his works at San Marco, his panel paintings were more conservative, painted with more Gothic conventions than his frescos, which exhibited elements of the rising Renaissance.
God, Man, And Thirty-Six Barrels Of Gunpowder: A Historiographical Analysis Of The Gunpowder Plot, William M. Deloach
God, Man, And Thirty-Six Barrels Of Gunpowder: A Historiographical Analysis Of The Gunpowder Plot, William M. Deloach
Tenor of Our Times
The Gunpowder Plot has remained, since its failure in November 1605, a topic of fierce debate until the present. While tensions surrounding the nature of its planning, motives, or even its authenticity as a plot organized by Catholics have settled comparably to where they were in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, discussion of the Gunpowder Plot and its legacy continues to pervade when talking of James I’s reign. The insight brought by the maturation of historical research methods disarmed the hitherto fierce discussion of the Gunpowder Plot. While the late 1800s brought scathing mutual criticism between Samuel Gardiner and …

Pirates And Propaganda: The Condemnation Of Piracy In The Early Modern Era, Alexandra G. Wisner
Pirates And Propaganda: The Condemnation Of Piracy In The Early Modern Era, Alexandra G. Wisner
Tenor of Our Times
The modern view of pirates is shaped by their media representations, from Pirates of the Caribbean to the Pirates of Penzance. Often, they are in direct opposition to the imperial British navy, which is depicted as bumbling at best and overwhelmingly cruel at worst. The pirates in these stories, whether historical or fictional, are heroes, eking out a living on the seas. Such depictions are over simplified, and lack the nuance of what piracy meant in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In addition, they glorify pirates, turning them from sailors looking to make a profit into champions of democracy and …
To The Edge Of The World: Julius Caesar's First Invasion Of Britain, Isaac Copeland
To The Edge Of The World: Julius Caesar's First Invasion Of Britain, Isaac Copeland
Tenor of Our Times
In 54 BC, during his time as Proconsul, Julius Caesar decided to invade Britain. Despite lack of intelligence, Caesar went ahead with the invasion. In his battles with the native Britons, Caesar narrowly avoided defeat, and had to return to the continent with nothing material to show for it. However, Caesar's first campaign gave him vital information on the Britons, furthered his political career, and prepared him for his second invasion
The Lost Colony Of Roanoke, Allison Wisdom
The Lost Colony Of Roanoke, Allison Wisdom
Tenor of Our Times
Roanoke, better known as the “Lost Colony”, has long been regarded as a story shrouded in mystery. What happened to the colonists who completely vanished from their settlement, with the only clue being the letters “CRO” carved into a nearby tree? By starting at the beginning, with Walter Ralegh and his first attempt to establish a colony in 1585, and then following the story of Roanoke step-by-step, this paper aims to demystify the fate of the popular American legend. The real story of Roanoke provides essential context to the clues left behind by the settlers, pointing to a major theory …

Art And Power: How The D'Este Family Ruled Renaissance Ferrara, Luke Ziegler
Art And Power: How The D'Este Family Ruled Renaissance Ferrara, Luke Ziegler
Tenor of Our Times
During the Renaissance, the d'Este family ruled the Northern Italian city of Ferrara. To make up for their modest land holdings, the d'Este chose to exert influence and control over Italian politics through artistic patronage. The court of Ferrara became known for its beauty, intelligence, and sophistication. All the dukes of Ferrara contributed to the city's cultural significance, and elevated Ferrara as one of the dominant cities on the Italian peninsula.
