.... he states that "in Animal Farm he had for the first time in his writing career consciously tried to achieve this goal ‹ to harmonize political concerns with artistry² (Twayne, 17). Orwell, however, for reasons such as the omitted portion of his preface and misreadings of his novels, has been mislabeled a traitor of Socialism or a hero to the right wing by theorists and critics. His book, besides a parody of Stalinist Russia, intends to show that Russia was not a true democratic Socialist country. Looked at carefully, Animal Farm is a criticism of Karl Marx as well as a novel perpetuating his convictions of democratic Socialism; these are other inherent less discussed qu ....

.... economics. In theory, the colonists accepted the principle that natural laws rather than royal decrees should govern the economy. In practice only the southern colonies were bound to England by the tobacco trade. The New England and Middle Colonies, unable to find markets in Britain, found prosperity by trading outside the empire. Any attempt to stop this trade would lead to rebellion and consequently ensued. The idea of mercantilism where the channelizing of all trade through England, was a restriction upon economic prosperity of the New England colony. The major cause for revolution within the economic theory is of economic subordination of colonies to England. The G ....

.... the entry of more laborers. The passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act was the first attempt by congress to ban a group of immigrants based on race or color. The only Chinese that legally entered the United States during the six decades the Exclusion Act was in place were those in “exempted classes” such as merchants, students, diplomats, and travelers (Chan). An unknown number illegally entered through the Canadian and Mexican borders and many others entered as “paper sons.” The act did not prevent Chinese immigration per se; it simply prevented most legal immigration. The 1907-1908 Gentleman’s Agreement was the result of a conflict betwe ....

.... and William Weestmoreland, to believe that the end near. As a result in both wars the American soldiers were constantly poured into the warlands throughout the war in order to supply the tools for the commending generals to proceed with an aggressive war. The domestic support and international reaction were the two major differences between the two wars. During the Korean War, the Americans were disappointed and angry that the United States was involved in a slow, costly war that could not end in any kind of victory. As for the Vietnam War the public, for the majority of the war, was split into two groups, the hawks and doves. This was an even split. The hawks s ....

.... took charge, circulating money into the economy by raising the value of gold, instead of just putting more money into circulation which would cause detrimental inflation. He also had to show the people that banks were safe to put money into. To do this he passed the Emergency Banking Act or the “Banking Holiday”, which temporarily closed banks so that they could be examined and reopened, if fit to do so, with a Treasury Department license. Another way that he took charge was by cutting federal workers’ salaries, and veterans’ pensions and benefits, and anything else that would reduce spending. Roosevelt then created the Civilian Conservation Corps, which gave jobs ....

.... a free market where all was manufactured from the play of supply and demand on the world marked. The whole production was based on credit, promise to pay in the future. The system was based on mutual confidence and exchange. The economy was dependent on foreign loans, and government expenditure was dangerously high, with businesses suffering from low profit margins. The world believed that the great expansion, as in the early 20's, would continue and with all the new inventions life would become pure joy and happiness. Sales, profits and wages went through the roof. The acute phase of the Great Depression began in October 1929, on "the Black Friday", with the Wall Street Cr ....

.... the Athenians establish and maintain control over their empire by helping to control trade and the economy of the area to the Athenians' benefit. Since Athens regularly received tribute from the states it controlled, Pericles, the leader of Athens, began a building project in Athens that was legendary. Athens had been sacked by the Persians during the Persian Wars and Pericles set out to rebuild the city. The city's walls had already been rebuilt right after the end of the second Persian War so Pericles rebuilt temples, public grounds, and other impressive structures. One of the most famous structures to result from Pericles' building project was the Parthenon. The P ....

.... northern manufacturers and businessmen. Southerners thought that the industrialization of the north would lead to the downfall of the southern agrarian economy. They named the tariff the "Tariff of Abominations"(Coit 11). Vice-President John C. Calhoun of South Carolina led the movement of people who thought that "a combined geographical interest should not be able to disregard the general welfare and turn an important local interest to its own profit"(Coit 12). Calhoun was not for the secession of South Carolina so he tried to think of a substitute. He borrowed an idea evolved by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798 and ....
