Abstract
The paper discusses the figure and speeches of John C. Calhoun, with a focus on his response to the Tariff of Abominations and the compact theory of government. The paper argues that although the Civil War had a complex beginning, Calhoun's rhetoric was certainly instrumental in dividing the country into its warring factions.

From the Paper
"Even one hundred and fifty years after its conclusion, the Civil War remains one of the most controversial issues in American history. The memories of slavery that any mention of the Civil War recalls stirs up racial tensions even today, and this can make any real grievance that the South had prior to this conflict seem almost taboo to mention, as though the evil of slavery tainted all things Southern. One figure that is especially divisive in this regard is John C. Calhoun. Some even give him the credit of being the primary cause of the Civil War (Weider).
"While John C. Calhoun's personality certainly is one of the most important and one of the most controversial of the causes of the Civil War, but there are other factors that also carried great weight. The Tariff of Abominations, as it came to be known, was instituted in 1828 to protect Northern industries from foreign competition, with drastic economic effects on the South (Foreign Affairs). This tariff was one of Calhoun's main points of argument with the policies of the North, and fueled the rhetoric that he used to help stir up the Civil War (ThinkQuest)."

The author explores several of his speeches as well as his life to explain where he came from and how he became such a controversial politician. The paper explains his reasons for encouraging the continuation of slavery in the South.

From the Paper
"Throughout American history there have been many people who had had an influence in the course the nation took. John C. Calhoun was one such individual. He was a man who rose to great heights in the political arena and was well known for his controversial views on many issues, Holst, 2001. He was the champion for the south when it came to the issue of slavery and he spoke loud and clear when it came to representing what it was his constituents wanted done about it. Calhoun was a man who was bright, ambitious and goal oriented. He spent his life working for what he believed in. Whether we agree or disagree with his actual views we are hard pressed to say he did not try."

Abstract
The paper outlines the brief history of Bill C-61 and what its key provisions are; the essay subsequently looks at how the new legislation - if ever passed - would tighten regulations vis-a-vis consumer obligations in the realm of copyright but would also impose an anti-circumvention law that, for all intents and purposes, would place ordinary consumers in jeopardy of being sued for merely recording their favourite music or shows for later viewing.

Abstract
The paper outlines the brief history of Bill C-61 and what its key provisions are; the essay subsequently looks at how the new legislation - if ever passed - would tighten regulations vis-a-vis consumer obligations in the realm of copyright but would also impose an anti-circumvention law that, for all intents and purposes, would place ordinary consumers in jeopardy of being sued for merely recording their favourite music or shows for later viewing. At the same time, the paper discusses how the anti-circumvention measures outlined in the proposed bill would undoubtedly create renewed demand for Digital Rights Management software - which would hurt the entertainment sector because it would drive down consumer demand for goods fitted with the new software while simultaneously making a mockery out of the notion of "free TV".

From the Paper
"Definition of bill C-61. Anti-circumvention component of proposed law. Renewed demand for DRM software if legislation passes. Support in entertainment community for C-61. Notion of "fair-use". Greater likelihood of litigation if bill passes. The following paper will look at whether Canada's Bill C-61 is headed in..."

From the Paper
"One of every three American adults regularly uses herbal supplements including both St. John's Wort and saw palmetto, the two most popular supplements in use today. St. John's Wort, just a few short years ago, was little more than an obscure weed growing wild in North America.

However as this brief ... "

Abstract
This paper integrates several Civil War topics, including the power dynamics of oligarchies in the antebellum South, the authorship and diffusion of pro-slavery ideology, the development and implications of the plantation slavery economy, and an analysis of different explanations for the collapse of the Confederacy, into the thesis that the South's lack of pragmatism and adaptability brought about its defeat. The writer dissects the discourse of James Henry Hammond and John C. Calhoun and presents pro-slavery ideology as a fundamentally conservative reaction to early capitalism that diffused from a planter elite to the Southern masses through the conflation of the Southern identity with the institution of slavery. The industrial and technological stagnation, aristocratic trends, and dependent nature of the Southern economy are weighed as cogent factors in the failure of Confederate resources. The writer explains, using cognitive dissonance theory, how the conflicting elements of Confederate nationalism, such as scriptural fundamentalism, states' rights theory, and pro-slavery discourse, failed to successfully coexist with the reality of slavery and led to problems with strategy, conscription, enlistment, and solidarity.

II. Reactionary, Principled Ideology
III. Socioeconomic Maladjustment
IV. Confederate Defeat by Tradition and Ideology
V. Conclusion

From the Paper
"James Henry Hammond, editor of The Southern Times, defended the right to property through scriptural fundamentalism and carried slavery above human criticism by declaring it a biblically sanctioned institution. In order to justify chattel slavery's presuppositions of vindicated human property, proslavery ideology needed to incorporate the priority of slaveholders , right to property over slaves, right to liberty. Hammond provided this by asserting that man's right to "property in man" had been "consecrated" by the Bible. Suggesting a similitude between abolitionism and anti-property radicalism, as did many reactionary Southerners, Hammond anticipated that, after defeating slavery, the property-threatening ideology of antislavery would challenge the capital of the North."

Abstract
This paper traces the influence that slavery in the U.S. territories had on the American Civil War. Important issues such as the Wilmot Proviso, the Missouri compromise, and the Compromise of 1850 are discussed. In addition, key figures such as John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and Harriet Beecher Stowe are also included.

From the Paper
"The Civil War, referred to as "The Needless Conflict" by Allan Nevins transpired as a direct result of many factors. One of these important factors was the issue of slavery in the territories of the United States that had yet to be admitted into the Union as states. These territories created a dilemma that would plague the U.S. for years before it was finally settled in the ultimate conflict: The Civil War."

Abstract
In this paper the author discusses the situation of Black Americans and assesses whether the abolishment of slavery has provided any greater protection under the law. The author starts at the beginning of the 19th century and looks at how Blacks were taken into slavery and brought to America. The author moves on to discuss the Missouri Compromise and the discussions that took place regarding ?slave free states?. The author then discusses then various laws that were passed during the 19th century and how the issue of slavery was eventually brought before the nation.

From the paper:

?For a brief period during Reconstruction, many African Americans voted, and some were elected to public office. In the late 1870?s, however, enthusiasm for ensuring black equality waned in both the North and the Republican Party, and by 1877, when federal troops were withdrawn from the South, blacks were left to the power of whites committed to restoring white supremacy.?
