Abstract
This paper examines how Stanley Baldwin played a key role in the success of the British Conservative Party in the 1920s, beginning. The paper traces Baldwin's career from when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1922 and 1923. The paper then discusses how Baldwin would later be Prime Minister himself twice, once for a short time, and once for a full term in which he helped consolidate the role of the Conservative Party and alter a number of policies put in place by the Labour Party before.
From the Paper
"Stanley Baldwin played key role in the success of the British Conservative Party in the 1920s, beginning when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1922 and 1923. Baldwin had sought political office before and failed, and he came to prominence rather suddenly in 1922 after a meeting of Conservative MPs considering the future of the coalition government. Baldwin at that time was president of the Board of Trade, and at this meeting, he attacked Lloyd George, the man who had appointed him to the cabinet. This attack brought about the end of the coalition, and the new Prime Minister, Bonar law, gave Baldwin the position of Exchequer. Baldwin would later be Prime Minister himself twice, once for a short time, and..."

Abstract
Paper compares views of Frederick Douglass and James Baldwin on Christianity as an element of African-American culture. Both knew the hypocrisy of southern Christians backing slavery and its results. Douglass stressed that northern Christianity was different and a creative force; Baldwin in the 20th century saw Christianity as black false consciousness and rejected the Black Muslim movement, too. Paper takes both men to current inner city problems, ref. to Eugene Rivers et al; conclusion argues that Frederick Douglass's ideas sounder and more productive. paper has no outside refs.
From the Paper
Frederick Douglass & James Baldwin - on Christianity. Introduction African-American slavery continued into the mid-19^th century accepted by many southern Christians to see no contradiction between a religion filled with allegories of slavery and that very institution. Predictably, African Americans have had mixed feelings about the place of Christianity in their experience and culture through centuries, the legacy of churches' involvement in maintaining the American colour-line and active discrimination in the southern states a recent memory that some argue has never quite subsided.

Abstract
The paper looks at James Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room", a novel that tackled issues which are still relevant in modern society. The paper addresses the issues of homosexuality, the place of women in the social order and the ability of the individual to have freedoms. The paper argues that although Baldwin was capable of presenting lives that were adversely affected by these issues, little has been done throughout history to alter the expectations that societal groups must live up to, or the fact that they must hide for fear of being shunned by others.
From the Paper
"In 1956, James Baldwin wrote "Giovanni's Room", a novel that tackled issues which are still relevant in modern society. Homosexuality, the place of women in the social order and the ability of the individual to have freedoms are all topics that Baldwin brought to the consciousness of his world. Yet, although Baldwin was capable of presenting lives that were adversely affected by these issues, little has been done throughout history to alter the expectations that societal groups must live up to, or the existence that they must hide for fear of being shunned by others. David was raised to believe that he was a descendent of Italians that..."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines James Baldwin's, "The Fire Next Time," which looks at the explosion or revolution that will result if freedom for African Americans is not achieved. The author identifies and examines, in depth, various thematic threads throughout the novel and also makes reference to the story of Hamlet when comparing the African-American search for their identity in America.
From the paper:
"Baldwin's talent for running words excitingly across a page, crying thoughts to heights of perception, rarely falters. When he discusses the African American's need to fight back against white oppression, he recognizes that the African American although sometimes deluded by promises is actually less deluded than whites that believe that they are giving freedom to blacks."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at some of the serious events that followed the American legislation known as the Compromise of 1850. This "compromise" outlawed the actual trade (buying and selling) of slaves, yet it also required federal officials to track down and arrest fugitive slaves. The paper looks at the resulting events of the Compromise of 1850 and how these might have combined and led the South to secede from the Union, thus causing the Civil War.
From the Paper
"The Compromise of 1850 was a piece of American legislation drafted and passed in order to squash the divisive debate over slavery that had been pressing the separated country closer and closer to secession and disintegration. Created and championed by Senators Henry Clay, a southerner, and Stephen Douglas, a northerner from Illinois, the Compromise was not a cure-all for the nation's problems and divisions, but was "as one Southern editor correctly noted, it was "the calm of preparation, and not of peace" ("The Impending Crisis"). This short essay will look at the resulting events of the Compromise of 1850 and how these might have combined and led the South to secede from the Union, thus causing the Civil War. One of the main provisions of the Compromise of 1850 was that it outlawed the slave trade."

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides an analysis of the views of John Calhoun and Daniel Webster concerning the Compromise of 1850 and the issue of slavery. The writer looks at the debate in Congress over the issue of the slave question.
From the Paper
"The Compromise of 1850 was the result a heated and at times vicious debate in Congress between the advocates of slavery and the abolitionists. Two of the main figures of this debate were John Calhoun who summarized the South's grievances and Daniel Webster who advocated moderation. The crux of the debate was the institution of slavery which threatened to tear the nascent Union asunder. The South was reliant on slavery for its economic growth while many in the North found the practice immoral and worked to subvert it."

From the Paper
"Photometric quantities such as luminance (brightness in cd/cm2 as perceived by a human "standard observer") and illuminance in lux (the "light" falling on a surface) indicate light levels spectrally weighted by the standard photometric visibility curve which peaks at 550 nm for the human eye. To quantify a photochemical effect it is not sufficient to specify the number of photons-per-square-centimeter (photon flux) or the irradiance (W/cm2) since the efficiency of the effect will be highly dependent on wavelength."

Abstract
This paper discusses the philosophies of three leading figures of the Harlem Renaissance--Langston Hughes, George Schuyler and W.E.B. DuBois. The paper describes Langston Hughes' "The Negro and the Racial Mountain" in which he attempts to prove that the desire to not be associated with a specific ethnic class is tantamount to racial self-hatred. The author then explains that George Schuyler in his "The Negro Art Hokum" argues that African-American artists are not some sort of unified bloc and that the imposition of subject matter and style is belittling and racist. Next, the author of the paper applies the conclusions of Hughes and Schuyler to two paintings by Beauford Delaney, a prominent painter of the Harlem Renaissance. The paper concludes that the fairest and most logical approach to the study of "Negro Art" lies somewhere between Langston Hughes and George Schuyler.
From the Paper
"Another of Delaney's works that highlights the necessity of forming a compromise between Hughes' and Schuyler's contrasting theories on art is his famous pastel drawing of James Baldwin, the American writer and novelist. Although the two were close friends, Delaney does not attempt to transmit, through his strokes, a sense of his love of and appreciation for Baldwin. Had he wanted to do that, he surely would have created a different portrait than the eerie, anxiety-riddled, and yellow-hued portrait that he actually made."
