An Examination Of The Attitudes And Policies Of Andrew Jackson Concerning The American Indian, Harlan Hugh Hague

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This study will focus on the development of Andrew Jackson's attitude toward the American Indian and the effect of these attitudes on the shaping of official United states policy toward the Indians.

Jackson was born and raised on the frontier. There his prejudices were acquired and his personality was formed. Chapter I deals with Jackson's early life as a young frontiersman, politician and Indian-fighter. His championing of the rights of the westerner, his attitudes toward the Indian and his love for the martial spirit led him into the Tennessee militia and the United States Army during the Indian wars.

The main focus of this study is the position and participation of the United States in the la Huerta rebellion. It is not …

George Iii In The Pennsylvania Press: A Study In Changing Opinions, 1760-1776, Robert D. Fiala

Wayne State University Dissertations

This study is an attempt to utilize the popular newspaper and pamphlet press to trace the growing estrangement between the monarch and his subjects before July, 1776. At what point did Americans abandon their hope in George III? What factors contributed to their final conclusion that the responsibility for the estrangement of the colonies from the mother country wets the king’s? Because of the vast amount of available material and also because of the widespread reprinting of newspaper articles and pamphlets, the writer has limited his study to the press of one colony, Pennsylvania. He has examined most of the …

A Historical Analysis Of The Nomination Of Wendell Lewis Willkie For The Presidency Of The United States Of America, Jerold David Gritz

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In this rather apt description of Wendell Willkie, the 1940 Republican presidential nominee, two important characteristics of the man stand out: his personal traits and energy and his strength of conviction in fighting for the principles in which he believed. Willkie cannot be regarded a politician in the usual sense; he was a businessman who, because of his convictions, waged a personal war against Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal - a war conducted outside the realm of partisan politics. His successes in the fight with the administration brough Willkie a measure of recognition and aroused the interest of certain …

The Politics Of Free Banking In The Old Northwest, 1837-1863, William G. Shade

Wayne State University Dissertations

There is a great gap in the history of American monetary politics between the years of Jackson’s “Bank War” and the lengthy debate over bonds, Greenbacks, and silver that occupied the energies of the nation after the Civil War. While these years w ere chaotic and produced little constructive monetary legislation, the money issue played an important role. This study is designed to help clarify the nature of the issues during this period and the ways in which the parties reacted. The study of these issues has usually been confused by assumptions derived from a projection of the post-war issues …

Facundo Melgares And The Northern Frontier Of New Spain, Thomas M. Bolkan

History ETDs

This thesis deals with the military career and New Mexico governorship of Facundo Malgares. His career, from approximately 1800 to 1822, after Mexico had become independent of Spain, illustrated the operation of Spanish institutions during the last days of Spanish rule in the northern interior province of Mexico. Of special importance were problems associated with Spanish-Italian and Anglo-Spanish relations when the Indian was still powerful and the United States was beginning its westward expansion. Spanish land policy in New Mexico and its continued effect on individual holdings after United States possession was and continues to be important in New Mexico. …

Gerald L.K. Smith And Anti-Semitism, Isabel B. Price

History ETDs

According to Paul Massing, author of Rehearsal For Destruction, a historical analysis of the forerunners of anti-Semitism in Germany, a predisposition to anti-Semitism was manifested in social protests in 19th century Germany. Liberal historians and socialist writers were convinced that, used as a political tool, anti-Semitic agitation could arouse the political interests of dormant social groups to join the forces of progress. Anti-Semitism movements which formulated the racist ideology and kept alive and disseminated anti­-Semitism throughout German culture, were in existence long before Hitler rose to power. With the forces of the twenties and thirties, however, inflation, depression, unemployment, social …

The Virginia Executive Budget, Charles William Wyatt Iii

Master's Theses

Virginia, like the other states in our union, was without any set form of budget during its first century of existence. This was partly because there was no definite need for any governmental reform in this area until the twentieth century brought about an expansion of the powers and responsibilities of governments. The states relied on the general property tax for the bulk of their revenue and its return was relatively certain and constant. It enabled a legislature to accurately judge its yield and match this yield to what was needed by an easy adaptation of the rate of taxation. …

Jonathan Boucher: Moderate Loyalist And Public Man, Anne Young Zimmer

Wayne State University Dissertations

This inquiry began then, with an attempt to understand Jonathan Boucher, the Tory of Tories, the adversary of Locke and egalitarian principles, the spokesman for Filmer in America, and the divine rights advocate. The whole complex of Boucher's life has been examined, with particular emphasis on the pre-Revolutionary years of crisis in Virginia and Maryland between 1765 and 1775, together with the milieu of the two colonies, in order to discover what factors may have contributed to Boucher's High Tory role, if, indeed, he was a High Tory. And it has been an effort to understand all of the circumstances …

Frontier Problems In New Mexico Preceding The Mexican War, 1840-1846, Ward Alan Minge

History ETDs

The original intent of this paper was to examine some phase of the interrelationship of the Mexican, Indian, and United States' cultures in New Mexico during the two decades of Mexico administration. Research soon revealed that cultural conflicts only contributed their share to the problems which existed on this frontier. Identification of the problem areas narrowed the period of interest of the few years preceding the "bloodless conquest" of New Mexico by the United States. These years, roughly from 1840 to 1846, saw the culmination of a combination of circumstances over which New Mexican officials had little or no control. …
