Virginia Evangelicals And The American Revolution: The Role Of The Baptist, Presbyterian, And Methodist Clergy, William Jennings Terman
Virginia Evangelicals And The American Revolution: The Role Of The Baptist, Presbyterian, And Methodist Clergy, William Jennings Terman
Masters Theses
I. Religious Factors as a Cause of Revolution
Standard history books contain little or nothing of the documentary material which would relate religion to the factors contributing to the American Revolution. References to social, political, and economic causations abound, but only occasional statements concerning the influence of religion are found, and among these the role of the Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Quaker persuasions receives most attention. Yet the involvement of the evangelical churches was significant enough to merit separate, intensive studies. It is the object of this essay to investigate the involvement of the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist groups in …

Banesism And Molinism In Theory And Practice, Rev. Burns K. Seeley
Masters Theses
Last paragraph of Introduction:
The purpose of this paper is to acquire a better understanding of the relationship between grace and tree will, that is, the paradox between the omnipotence of God and human free will.

Great Britain And The Balkan Crisis Of 1875-1878, Carol Zainfeld Becker
Great Britain And The Balkan Crisis Of 1875-1878, Carol Zainfeld Becker
Masters Theses
Introduction
For years Great Britain had followed the time-honored doctrine in foreign affairs of maintaining the balance of power which meant
to resist by diplomacy or arms the growth of any European State at once so formidable and so potentially hostile as to threaten our national liberties, the security of our shores, the safety of our commerce or the integrity of our foreign possessions.
With the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 and the establishment of the Metternichian concept of the concert of Europe, Britain's historic determination to preserve the balance of power gave way to a new attitude in foreign …
American Policy In Korea, 1867-1954, Ernest Gilman
American Policy In Korea, 1867-1954, Ernest Gilman
Masters Theses
Preface
This paper shall describe and analyze United States' policy towards Korea from 1834, when American attention was first attracted to that country because of possible trade opportunities, to 1954, which saw the completion of the Geneva Conference on Korea. Throughout this period American policy was neither static, nor was it ever well defined. During this span of one hundred and twenty years American policy in Korea falls logically into two main periods:
i) the initial period from 1834 to 1943 during which time America's primary concern was the establishment and maintenance of the "Open Door" policy;
and ii) the …
The Social Implications Of Dante’S Commedia, Judson I. Mather
The Social Implications Of Dante’S Commedia, Judson I. Mather
Masters Theses
Introduction
The focus of this study has derived, in part, from the experience of teaching a course in "The History of Social Thought" to undergraduate sociology majors. The more comprehensive texts in the field accord Dante some notice. But the treatment he receives as a social thinker is uniformly patronizing. One of the most substantial and adequate of these texts, for example -- the three-volume study by Howard Becker and Harry Elmer Barnes-- has this to say:
The key to Dante's character and to his social theory as well is to be found in the fact that "world peace was …
Anglo-American Isthmian Diplomacy And The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, George W. Shipman
Anglo-American Isthmian Diplomacy And The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, George W. Shipman
Masters Theses
Introduction
The Panama Canal is one of the major commercial waterways of the world and, furthermore, it is vital to the defence of the United States. ·Before this canal could be constructed, it was necessary to persuade the British government to give up its right to share with the United States the building of an isthmian canal. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850 had provided that neither the United States nor Great Britain would carry out the project singly. Later through the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Great Britain agreed to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and allowed the United States alone to build and …

United States Dollar Diplomacy In China During The Taft Administration, In Suk Ro
Masters Theses
I. Introduction
The fundamental aims of a nation's foreign policies are national security and the achievement of national objectives through diplomacy. At different periods in American history, the foreign policy of the United States has been designed to advance a variety of aims. It is possible, for example, to speak of missionary diplomacy, moral diplomacy, military diplomacy and dollar diplomacy. The latter characterizes one phase of economic foreign policy in which the administration of President William Howard Taft represents a dramatic turning point. The foreign aid programs of the period after World War II, such as the Marshall plan and …
