Ricardo Holmes Bradley Borough HIST 1301 25 April 2017 Historical Book Review Unbecoming British is a book written by Kariann Yokota that handles a certain dilemma the United States of America faced after the Revolutionary War ended in 1783. Judging by the title one could possibly assume that the subject matter would be the colonies’ rebellion against King George III and Great Britain but this is not the case. After the signing of the Treaty of Paris, the United States became officially recognized as its own country. They wanted to be distinct from the rest of the world, not just Britain. It is much more common to hear about the political and economic changes of the United States, so this book provides a somewhat different perspective than what would usually hear.

Throughout the history of North America there have been a plethora of battles waged between those with conflicting theologies in terms of religion. Looking to the protestant faith, one can see how protestant beliefs and or presents have been challenged not only by faiths of obvious secular contrast, such as Catholicism, but also by minutely dissimilar denominations that have fracture off of preexisting sects. In comparing Josiah Strong’s “Our Country” to Harry Emerson Fosdick’s “Shall the Fundamentalists Win” a contrast in who is opposing Protestants authority can be seen, along with why these sects were challenging theological ideas of the time. Moreover, the response of Protestants over time can be contrasted in how they deal with threats

The story of American Religion is one of migration, be it from immigrants from other countries or from the movement of Americans from city to city and from state to state. This is especially true of American Southerners who, during the Great Depression, moved out of their homeland and to the more industrial areas of the country like Detroit or Los Angeles. When these Southerners migrated to Los Angeles and Southern California, they brought with them their evangelical religious beliefs. In “From Bible Belt to Sun Belt,” author Darren Dochuk describes how that brand of southern evangelicalism initially shaped Southern California, and then US politics as a whole, through cultural clashes with the existing New Deal Democrats of the area, by

Charles Lindbergh, in contrast, made an impact on the public at a time when it looked for novelty and adventure, in the roaring 1920s. In the 1920s, the economy soared, and technological advances increased. (“The U.S. economy in the 1920s,” par.1)The timing of Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight could not have been more perfect for the focus of the public. Within the context of the greater social aims around Columbus and Lindbergh, they raised in themselves very different motives for the achievement of their goals. However, the passion in both of them could not be disturbed by any collectivist, social force.

History Term Project: Primary Source Analysis Danielle Marshall Professor Ahad Hayaud-Din & Professor Sinclair 1301-2305 Learning Community Fall Semester 2017 2379 Words November 25, 2017 The United States has had many foreign and domestic problems that shaped American society; fear, impacted civil liberties, escalated worldly crises and evoked counter threats from the start of the Reconstruction era throughout our nation’s current history. Some of these problems were depicted in political cartoons, newspaper articles, presidential speeches, proclamations, and photos. Many cruelties in the Reconstruction era came from racial violence, nationalism, and American Imperialism as implied in these documents.

What is fundamentalism? Essentially, it is an adherence to the literally interpreted Bible as fundamental to life and teaching. In his book, Fundamentalism and American Culture, George M. Marsden attacks the daunting question of “How has the fundamentalist movement managed to resist the pressures of the scientific community and the draw of modern popular culture to hold on to their ultra-conservative Christian views?” Not only does this History textbook answer that pressing question, but it also tells the incredible, encouraging tale of how Christian principles CAN survive in a godless world. From the first chapter, Marsden notes fundamentalism’s steady march through American history.

Religious diversity is not foreign to Americans. American is known for its religious diversity. This diversity did not just arise. It has been around since Colonial American. In this paper I will argue that the influx in immigration in America and differing beliefs within individual denominations shaped religious diversity in the colonial American landscape.

Although some Americans looked into modernism, radicalism, and had socialist political views, politics in the 1920s became increasingly conservative because of the Republican leaders that governed the era, fundamentalist movements challenging modernist ideals, and the redesigned assembly of delegates and

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." ~ Winston Churchill. The second world war and the cold war reintroduced the themes of war and at the same time, progress in the United States of America. In the 1940s and the 1980s, a number of major global, political and historical events greatly influenced lifestyle and fashion at the time and established the United States of America as a superpower of the world. In order to understand what in 1940s and 1980s made the United States economically, socially and culturally important, it is necessary to consider its relationship with the rest of the world, both its resourcefulness and its scandals, its long-standing consumerism and World War II radically altered the

1920’s DBQ The 1920’s were a period of tension between the traditionalists and modernists. The tension between these two groups was aroused by the economical advancements, social developments, and cultural changes in the 1920s. These tensions were manifested by the economic outburst and the passing of certain laws.

The Christian Sociological parts, have influenced each other in the past. Christian churches in U.S. society still maintain importance because "approximately 80 percent of Americans...identify themselves as Christian; many of the new immigrants in fact are Christian, e.g., those from Haiti, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Central America" (Caiazza, 2010, p. 190). In terms of their role in the Christian Sociological model, Stuckenberg (1880) holds that the individual "in society is a representative of Christ and of" the "Gospel" (Matt. 5:13-15) where their testimony leads the world to judge Christianity (p. 266). Their "conduct before others should be in harmony with his true worth and dignity" (Stuchenberg, 1880, p. 267).

For centuries, freedom of religion in America has been an integral foundation in its society’s works; Europeans fled their own countries, where they were oppressed by forced faith, to seek religious asylum in a country which prided itself on allowing individuals to establish their own beliefs, and practise any religion that they choose. The US was the first Western nation not to be founded upon a predominantly Catholic belief system, and was instead led by Protestants. This in itself demonstrates the independence of American society, and its defiance of other countries’ traditions. In Post War America, however (1918 onwards), religious barriers began to be broken down. This period is the one in which ‘the Great Gatsby’ is set, the ‘Roaring

During the nineteenth and twentieth century, there was a great change introduced for American Protestantism. Old beliefs were being challenged greatly by liberals as well as conservatives holding to their traditions, attitudes, and beliefs ignoring liberalism. Protestant churches were experiencing intense and frequent conflicts between liberals and conservatives. Fosdick and Machen took part in this theological battle. The battle of these two men shaped Christianity in the twentieth century.

O Pioneers! and The Devil in the White City address some of the immense changes, both personal and national, occurring during the 1890s. The best way to attain the “American dream” was changing and many Americans struggled to understand and accept the fact that prior techniques for succeeding did not always work any longer. The transformation of American culture had many unforeseen consequences for life in the United States. The decade of the1890s showed how drastically American ideals and culture could change.

A lot of the times people search for what is important or meaningful in their lives. Therefore, their quest leads them to unknown places that requires them to be aware of situation around them that can potentially change their lives forever. Therefore, the central theme or universal lesson of “A&P” by John Updike is that all people should not follow blindly to the status quo by rather should aspire to be themselves because we all have distinct gifts to give society. Nevertheless, sometimes doing the right thing is not always easy, partly because we are not always awarded and appreciated for it. First, conformity in the 1950s was common, as young and old alike followed group norms rather than striking out on their own.
