...My vision for America is that America will change a lot. America has changed a lot since the last 100 years. Wars have been fought, discoveries have been made and new inventions were thought of. As long as people disagree there will always be wars to fight, and as long as people are learning there will always be new discoveries and new inventions. Those are my reasons why America will change a lot. In the last 100 years there have been many wars like World War 1, 2, Vietnam War, Korean War, Desert Storm and the War of Afghanistan. Those have all changed America a lot. Also many of our soldiers are fighting right now and that is probably going to go down in history. Plus since there is going to be a new president next year he will have different...

...Jefferson's and Hamilton's Vision of America Amy Lorrington HIS/409: American Revolutionary History December 15, 2015 Jefferson's and Hamilton's Vision of America After the American Revolution, the politicians in the country began to discuss ways in which the country should handle business so as to make America financially stable. Many politicians, such as Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, had opposing views on how the country should achieve this result. One opinion was to increase farming but to maintain export relationships with Europe for the manufacture of goods. Another opinion was to increase farming, but to also decrease export of goods with Europe and to diversify the workforce within America to produce the goods that were previously imported from Europe. Document 1, Notes on the State of Virginia, was written by Thomas Jefferson in the 1780s as a way to introduce American commodities to the European population as a valid source of trade of goods. Prior to the American Revolution, clothing in America was imported from Europe. During the Revolutionary War period, Americans were required to make clothing from their own resources as clothing from Europe was not available. European clothing was made from materials such as linen and silk, but these materials were not available in America. Americas used materials such as cotton and wool to make their clothing (Baumgartner, 2014). According to Jefferson, clothing made from cotton was comparable to the...

...difficult, and painful effort to define the terms of a flourishing economy in the United States. Drew McCoy’s, The Elusive Republic discusses the ideological origins upon which many eighteenth century thinkers developed their rationale for America’s “young” economy. During a time in which Europe was a dominating force and America was still in its infancy, the political economy in Jeffersonian America struggled to define itself as an independent republic and not just a replica of its oppressor. England had grown to be an old, corrupt, and overpopulated land where, “the people who cloathe the whole world are in rags themselves.” (McCoy 47) Seeing its counterpart in such a state of decay, Revolutionaries in America forged a commitment to republicanism that would soon lead to an ongoing public debate over superior ideologies. The two conflicting visions that spurred the post-war vision of a republican America was that of developing across space, which was supported by Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson, and that of Alexander Hamilton’s vision of developing through time. As America progressed through its post-war stages, it was evident that one vision had surpassed the other in dominating the economy. According to Madison, “…The United States might be forced into manufacturing as an alternative source of employment even in the presence of open land.” (McCoy 257) This ultimately reinforced the Hamiltonian view that the real disposition of human nature was toward luxury...

...this seemed like a good idea to move on from neutrality to warfare so the world would be better off at the end, but it only proved to be a waste of time for the United States. World War I was not a necessary war for the United States to enter. World War I began over in Europe in 1914. At the time, Woodrow Wilson was already in office for two years, and declared that the United States was in neutrality and therefore would not be entering the war. It was not until 1917 when the Germans targeted and attacked American ships carrying goods being sent to Europe that Wilson entered the war. Although he kept America out of the war for two years, he saw World War I as an opportunity to promote both free markets and political democracy, and to help promote his foreign policy which is referred to as “liberal internationalism”. In his speech to the country to announce the entering of America in the war, he stated that,...
