[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page book review on The Incredible War of 1812 (1965) by J. Mackay Hitsman, a classic text on this subject. Hitsman's scholarship is detailed as he accessed an extensive list of primary sources in Canada, Great Britain and the US.

In 1812, a state of war existed between Great Britain and the United States, which thirty years previously had concluded its war for independence. But while it was the US and Great Britain that were at war, it was Canada that became the inadvertent battleground. This review focuses on the role of Canadian general Sir George Prevost.

Hollywood Blacklisting: The Hollywood Ten
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. Communism and American democracy do not make comfortable bedfellows. This enlightening discovery served as the basis for Senator Joseph McCarthy's quest to exile all Communist association from the United States in the 1950s. Central to this exacting extermination were the Hollywood Ten, a handful of movie makers who were suspected of having Communist ties. The sheer terror that permeated through Hollywood during this blacklist period was born of the ignorance of McCarthyism and the uncertainty of one's eventual status. However, as much fervor as there was in support of the blacklisted film makers, there was a subgroup of opposition that contended each of the ten men were nothing more than disloyal Stalin supporters. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Holton/Forced Founders
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page book review of historian Woody Holton’s text Forced Founders, Indians, Debtors, Salves and the Making of the American Revolution in Virginia. This text offers a different slant on the forces that propelled the colonies into war with the greatest military power on earth at that time, the British empire. Holton’s guiding premise differs sharply from the traditional idea that the landed gentry of Virginia were motivated by the stirring rhetoric of men such as Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson and their own love for liberty. Rather, Holton describes the Virginians who took action against the British as “desperate men” (Holton xiii). This main premise is that since these men “took Britain’s largest American colony with them” (into war), anyone interested in the origins of the Independence movement needs to understand why they felt so desperate” (Holton xiii). No additional sources cited.
