"What Good Can There Be In This Kind Of Human?" Spanish Justification For The Conquest Of The Americas, John R. Pittenger Jan 2020

"What Good Can There Be In This Kind Of Human?" Spanish Justification For The Conquest Of The Americas, John R. Pittenger

The Gettysburg Historical Journal

The Spanish conquest of the Americas was one of the most brutal episodes in human history. Entire cultures of American natives were suppressed, murdered, raped, and enslaved by Spanish conquistadors on an incessant quest for precious metals and other material wealth. The devastation wrought upon the natives was so great that some Spaniards felt that what they were doing violated God's will and was naturally and morally wrong, but they were vastly outnumbered. The majority saw it as their right, duty, and privilege to conquer and subject these millions of people to Spanish rule. Since they were trying to justify …

'A Beautiful Dream Realized': John S. Rice And The Seventy-Fifth Anniversary Of The Battle Of Gettysburg, Brian Matthew Jordan Jan 2020

'A Beautiful Dream Realized': John S. Rice And The Seventy-Fifth Anniversary Of The Battle Of Gettysburg, Brian Matthew Jordan

The Gettysburg Historical Journal

"We have real cause for being proud of our past and the heritage it has given us ... We have a rich past ... along with this heritage we have had thrust upon us a deep responsibility," John S. Rice said in 1959. Indeed, it was the same sense of deep responsibility that had motivated him in anticipation of 1938. That year marked the seventy-fifth anniversary of the cataclysmic, three-day battle that was waged in the fields and farm lanes surrounding the seat of his native Adams County, Pennsylvania. Rice's cognizance of the importance not only of the Battle of …

"With Malice Towards None": The Springfield, Illinois Race Riot Of 1908, Andrew Carlson Jan 2020

"With Malice Towards None": The Springfield, Illinois Race Riot Of 1908, Andrew Carlson

The Gettysburg Historical Journal

On Saturday, March 4th, 1865, a tall man with dark, tussled hair and a beard, dressed in a large great coat with top hat removed, stood on the portico of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., addressing the large crowd that had gathered to hear him speak. These civilians crowded near to the balcony, not only to hear the speaker but also to fend off the cold, leftover from the rain of the preceding weeks. After briefly discussing the issues of civil war and slavery, he appealed to the Almighty for assistance and closed with these now familiar lines: "With …

The Question Of Morality In Relations Between The United States And Huerta's Government, Ashley Towle Jan 2020

The Question Of Morality In Relations Between The United States And Huerta's Government, Ashley Towle

The Gettysburg Historical Journal

The presidency of General Victoriano Huerta was one of the darker times in the history of the Mexican Revolution. Often described as a ruthless dictator, Huerta went to extreme measures to maintain power, even going as far as to assassinate those who opposed his rule. Senator Belisario Dominguez was one of those men who opposed Huerta's right to the presidency, and was assassinated after speaking out against the dictator. The series of events following the senator's murder did not affect just Mexico; the repercussions of Huerta's actions were felt in Europe and the United States. As a result of Huerta's …

“Broken Ground Of Which I Was Entirely Ignorant:” John C. Frémont Outclassed At Cross Keys, Ethan Zook

Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History

During the spring and early summer of 1862, Maj. General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson and his Army of the Valley engaged several larger Union forces during a series of battles and skirmishes in the Shenandoah Valley. On June 8, 1862 at the Battle of Cross Keys, Major General John C. Frémont attacked Confederate infantry, commanded by Jackson’s subordinate Maj. General Richard S. Ewell, in an attempt to capture a strategically valuable bridge at the small town of Port Republic.

Forging Insights: Indian Agency Blacksmiths Of The American Frontier, Adam G. Novey Jan 2020

Forging Insights: Indian Agency Blacksmiths Of The American Frontier, Adam G. Novey

Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History

Following the War of 1812, the United States government sought to more directly deal with the Native tribes in the American interior. The establishment of Indian agency blacksmith shops was one significant component of this endeavor. While it remains a virtually untouched topic in scholarship, the analysis of agency blacksmith services may reveal significant historical insights within topics as diverse as ethnic perception, material culture, frontier government practices, and language dynamics during a time of great upheaval. This case study of the blacksmith shop at the Fort Winnebago sub-agency in pre-state Wisconsin seeks to demonstrate the manner in which these …

Japan's War On Three Fronts Prior To 1941, Shaohai Guo Jan 2020

Japan's War On Three Fronts Prior To 1941, Shaohai Guo

Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History

This paper argues that Japan fought a three-front war prior to 1941. Japan not only fought China in the Second Sino-Japanese War, but conducted military operations against the Soviet Union. The third front occurred within Japan, as military factionalism prevented Japan from focusing on either China or the Soviet Union. By 1941, weakened through years of war, Japan focused their attention on French Indochina. This ultimately led to U.S entry into World War II.

Mercy Otis Warren: Republican Scribe And Defender Of Liberties, Mary Kathryn Mueller Jan 2020

Mercy Otis Warren: Republican Scribe And Defender Of Liberties, Mary Kathryn Mueller

Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History

An active proponent of republican government, Mercy Otis Warren had a significant role in the revolutionary period. She was a woman who was close to the action, well-acquainted with the central figures, and instrumental in bringing about the monumental changes in America in the late 1700s. Referred to as the “muse of the revolution,”[1] Mercy Otis Warren used her pen to significantly broaden the colonial understanding of a republican form of government and passionately promote it. From a collection of early poems and political satires written in the years preceding the war to her epic history of the revolution published …

التراكيب اللغويّة بين معياريّة التراث والاستعمال المعاصر, Khalil Ajine

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Language is a living organism that gets born, develops and multiplies. It is either meant to survive and regenerate whenever needed and necessitated, or to fall into inertia and stagnancy, and then to perish and evanesce. Undoubtedly, this is all directly linked to the ability of its speakers, and to their constant quest to vividly express their culture, thoughts, behaviors, beliefs and other life matters, fortifying, thus, their existence and upholding their presence in this world. The Arabic language has been and continues to be the language that refuses to age, and declines to stand still, unless this pleases its …

رؤية الواقع من خلال الإبداع الأسطوري في الشرق القديم, Samir Itani

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Myth played a principal role in old agricultural and pre-agricultural societies. The mythical thought has developed throughout the years but we got only the last versions of texts that have been recorded after being developed, though we approximately received their final version. The myth is a literary text which authors were the temples priests at that time. Its role is to determine the origins of the community’s vision towards the existence and the contribution of the society in this vision based upon a metaphysical belief scope. Thus, the text should express human feelings towards its problems on its cultural part. …

Abi Hayyan and Al Zamakhshari creativity was based upon each one’s method in grammatical orientation and linguistic and rhetorical analysis. These constitute important elements of the research methodologies in sciences that were common within the Islamic community being in theology, jurisprudence principle, grammar and rhetoric etc. These two interpreters were special and different than other previous interpreters and they added new theories in this area. Islam expanded among other ancient civilizations and benefited from the Greek civilization that built all its opinions upon reason. Thus, it was important for Muslims to sharpen their minds and denude their explanations to support …

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

This research paper focuses on the creative and living situation of the political life of most prime ministers in Lebanon. Their creativity was most prominent by the fact that they were prime ministers with limited authoritative powers. The president has the most authority in power while his prime minister holds full political responsibility. Prime minister Sami El Solh, showed his creativity by being member of the cabinet in two different presidential terms. His diaries in his presidential terms appeared in four different volumes though the main book was titled “Diaries of Sami El Solh”. Other books were titled “ Refer …
