A Comparative Perspective on Mexicans and Cubans in the US
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing conditions in the US during the mid-1800s and then jumping 100 years forward to examine immigration patterns since 1959. Demographers predicted long ago that Hispanics collectively would comprise the largest minority within the US by the turn of the century, and such has proven to be true. What they failed to predict is the dichotomy with which these two groups are viewed. The Anglos immigrated to areas already occupied by both Native Americans and Mexicans, and treated each equally poorly. There was little notice of immigrants from Cuba settling in the Tampa area in the 19th century, and they were able to more closely preserve their traditional culture. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

A Different View of US History
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page summary and analyzes of a history text by Dinnerstein, Nichols, and Reimers, Natives and Strangers (1979) which is probably one of the first efforts at inclusion and acknowledgment of diversity in regards to US history. The writer argues that to a large degree, the authors achieved their goal, as this text offers a survey of American history that stresses the contributions of minorities and also the perspective of minorities toward the events that led to the founding of the United States.

America In The 1840's: Transition To A Strongly Pro-Democratic And Pro-Party Regime
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The United States began as a nation without parties and with a limited dedication to democratic ideals. Examining why by the 1840s America developed into a strongly pro-democratic and pro-party regime finds one focusing upon personal agenda and the pangs of national growth as viable explanations of such a drastic transition. The extent to which this modification fit in with original Constitutional designs was questionable at best, particularly with regard to that which espoused consensual rather than majoritarian arrangements.
