Significant Events in U.S. History

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at three significant events in U.S. history, namely, the arrival of the first European colonizers in the 1500s, the French and Indian War from 1754 to 1763, and the enactment of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal policies. This paper argues that these three events have contributed significantly to the shaping of the American way of life and continue to have a lasting impact on American social policies today.

From the Paper:

"The arrival of the earliest European settlers during the 16th century set the stage for what would eventually become the United States. After all, if European settlers did not colonize the Americas, the continent would certainly have a very different character. The United States would not have descended largely from Anglo-European ancestry, and the various Native American nations would have proliferated."
