The Effects of the Homestead Act on Frontier Life.
[ send me this paper ]

The Emancipation Proclamation & Plessy v. Ferguson
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the potential problems generated by the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation.

The End Of Slavery
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper discusses the end of slavery and the transition from slave labor to free labor. Relying on the work of Foner and Berlin and colleagues, the writer explains that the Reconstruction era was one of confusion and controversy. The first part of the essay critiques Foner's narrative in his book, including his use of the comparative model in Nothing But Freedom. A premise is offered: The transition from slave labor to free labor was more important to establishing post-war freedoms that was African-American military service.

[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) "What was real and fundamental was the idealism and the nobility of the two contending forces: the Yankees struggling to save the Union, dying to make men free; the Confederates fighting for great Constitutional principles, defending their homes form invasion." Thus begins Kenneth Stammp's book The Era of Reconstruction 1865-1877, which wants to demonstrate the relationship between the war and the reconstruction period of the civil war are more similar rather than different.
