From the Paper
"John Fitzgerald Kennedy was President of the United States for less than three years, yet in that time he had a major impact on the country and on foreign and domestic policy lasting for a decade or more. Some of his actions produced effects that were beneficial, and others can be seen now as less effective, notably his enmeshing the country in the Vietnam War. Kennedy's presidency began in a spirit of glamour and change and ended in the assassination of an American president. The country shifted from a period of hope to a period of tension, paranoia, conspiracy theories, and a growing distrust of government. In some degree, none of these things was new, but the Cold War era increased world tensions and made Americans less trustful both of other nations and of other Americans. The era of conspiracy theories really begins with the Kennedy assassination, an event ..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and compares four historians' responses to the article in the October 2001 issue of the the history journal "William and Mary Quarterly" entitled, "The Making of a Slave Conspiracy" which focused on the historical issues about black slavery in America particularly the Denmark Vesey insurrection conspiracy in Charleston, South Carolina in 1822. The articles reviewed include a review essay penned by Prof. Michael Johnson, entitled, "Denmark Vesey and His Co-Conspirators" which offered a new interpretation of the famous (and foiled) uprising of the Negroes in Charleston in the early 19th century.
From the Paper
"Of all his criticisms of Johnson, Egerton said that the historian's biggest error is when Johnson failed to consult sources other than the Official Report and Evidence. Egerton said that Johnson became too focused in spotting differences between the two documents that he failed to recognize the importance of some small but significant and helpful sources such as "church records, city directories, and newspapers in St. Domingue", and most importantly, correspondence among people of Charleston during the time of trial and execution of the blacks. These "common biographer's technique" should have been helpful in his study of the issue. He also refuted Johnson's claim that the court punished heavily those who did not admit their guilt and pardoned those who did by giving an example. Sandy Vesey, Denmark's son, was also implicated in the insurgency plot, but unlike his companions who confessed and turned against them, Sandy Vesey did not admit his guilt, and as punishment, he was "transported to Spanish Cuba in 1822"."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the defense of withdrawal, or renunciation, in the crime of conspiracy. The paper will use the recent example of Melissa Frances, who became involved in a plot to hire a "hit man" to kill her husband. Frances was approached by the hit man, Christopher Brown, after Brown was allegedly hired by Frances' ex-husband, Clarence Wilkinson, to kill Frances. Frances agreed to pay Brown $15,500 for Wilkinson's murder, giving Brown $500 as a down payment and a knife to be used in the murder. She later backed out of the deal and retrieved the knife, but Brown threatened to kill Wilkinson anyway if she did not give him the rest of the agreed-to money. At this point the police found out about the plot; it is unclear from the newspaper article whether Frances informed them of the situation."

Abstract
The paper gives an overview of Toobin's book and gives a personal opinion of the general political and social issues that coincided with the incidents that led and surrounded President Clinton's impeachment.
From the Paper
"Toobin drops all pretenses in being detached when he begins to discuss Linda Tripp. Unlike the other individuals who were part and party to the whole affair, Toobin has nothing good to say about Tripp. His statement connecting Aldrich a dissatisfied former employee who made money selling a phony "tell all" with Linda Tripp gives the reader the immediate impression that Linda Tripp's only motive for befriending Monica Lewinsky and for remaining at work at the White House was to gather enough gossip to be able to publish a book, make money and become famous like Aldrich.
Jeffrey Toobin does show some legal expertise in his assessment of the strategies of both the defense and prosecution."

From the Paper
The purpose of this research is to discuss and support the theory of conspiracy, which must have existed in order to success-fully assassinate President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
There are people in the United States who believe that there was not a conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. Yet, those who do not believe in the conspiracy theory are clearly in a minority. As early as 1966, Gallup and Harris polls showed that 66 percent of the American people did not believe in the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone assassin. Another poll, taken in 1975, found that four out of five Americans did not accept the Warren Commission's version of the assassination (Blumenthal and Yazijian, 1976, p.ix).

Abstract
This paper discusses the motivations of John Wilkes Booth and the conspirators which are based upon their belief that Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant who was intent upon subjecting the South to black domination. It explains that Lincoln's emancipation of the slaves, promotion of black equality, and recruitment of tens of thousands of blacks into the Union Army convinced the conspirators that Lincoln and his Cabinet advisors had to be assassinated in order to prevent the South from being dominated and ruled by blacks and radical abolitionists intent upon revenge.

The Assassination & Its Aftermath
The Conspiracy
From the Paper
"The assassination of President Kennedy is an event that singularly stands out in both the memory and the history of the U.S., for it was an event that was to have a deep and enduring impact on the American public. The truth of this statement can be evidenced by the fact that most Americans who were above the age of five in 1963 can, to this day, recall exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the four words "the President is dead".

Abstract
This paper presents a brief historical overview of the life of Vice President Aaron Burr. The paper describes his upbringing and education, examines his political career, and discusses the events that led up to his arrest. The paper explains that Burr was put on trial for treason; however, the jury found Burr not guilty of a treasonous act or any high misdemeanors.
From the Paper
"In the year 1807, ex-Vice-President Aaron Burr was accused and sent to trial for a treasonous act. The prosecution stated that Burr had levied war against America. During this period, the United States and Spain were already in a dispute. Spain (present day Mexico) was threatened by the United States and the new westerners invading their territory. Throughout the trial, witnesses accused Burr of organizing a militia and planning to take Spanish territory by force. The prosecutor and president at the time was Thomas Jefferson. Before the trial had began President Jefferson made the statement that, "Burr was guilty without a doubt." The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court that would become the presiding judge over the trial was John Marshall, and aside for Burr, would become the most hated man in the trial. The trial was full of deception, accusations, and a lot of hatred."

Abstract
This paper offers a look at what actually took place during election 2000. Essential topics covered include the precise meaning of democracy and it's participation in the 2000 elections and major dilemmas that took place on election night. These irregularities include voting patterns, inaccurate information provided by the media and outdated voting machines.
From the Paper
"Election 2000 stirred up great contention on how democracy comes into play in our country. The question that always comes into play, is how do the people of this great nation benefit from democracy? Do those whom we elect to represent us, on behalf of our beliefs and perspectives, control us or do we have control? When searching and defining the precise meaning of democracy in the Webster Collegiate Dictionary, it reads democracy is a government in which the supreme power is held by the people. Although the Webster Collegiate Dictionary offers a general meaning of democracy, which the average American citizen can refer to, many other references dissent. The article ?Why Democracy is Wrong? states ?definitions of democracy follow a standard pattern, a sign of a stable and established ideology?(?Why democracy is Wrong? 13). Established ideology meaning various countries around the world actually observe the process in which we elect our leaders. This great government, controlled by democracy, is what the Unites States abided by during the 2000 election. A process that takes place to demonstrate how democracy reigns over all sovereignties. So they say! The outcome of the 2000 presidential election was truly inequitable and unjust. The results left many Americans feeling cantankerous and crotchety. Furthermore, the media failed to present the people with accurate poll numbers, and precise data. In addition, many minorities, mainly African American and Latinos, were disenfranchised, and their votes disregarded. Voting machines were extremely poor and obsolete. According to the article ?Lessons of the 2000 Election? Many voters were startled to learn that the technology for casting and recording votes in a number of areas of the country is twice as old as some voters thought. Antiquated technology can lead to possible voter confusion and subjective judgments by canvassing officials, who are called upon to divine the intent of the voters in the case of disputed ballots (?Lessons of the 2000 election?). So can one say that democracy was truly representing the people? How could so many errors occur at a time when the next President of the United States would soon be elected? Was democracy really present, and was supreme power held by the people? The questions asked are rather complex at the moment because many things were done surreptitiously during the 2000 election. According to the facts that were presented during and after the 2000 Presidential Election, the results did not seem equitable, leaving the election to be one big conspiracy."

A Historical Conspiracy Theory, 2007.
An analysis of David Hatcher Childress' book "Pirates and The Lost Templar Fleet: The Secret Naval War Between the Knights Templar and the Vatican".

Abstract
The paper discusses David Hatcher Childress' history book that describes the conflict between the Vatican and the Templars, a holy band of brother-soldiers who were enraged that the Church they had helped win land, territory and power had turned against their sect for political purposes. The paper contends that the author's method of drawing together Medieval history, the history of maps and sea navigation, as well as the politics of the European kings and the Roman Catholic popes, makes for a fascinating tale. The paper maintains that the book, in its more factually substantiated parts, is a good introduction to the history of the Church and the navigation of the high seas.
From the Paper
"To tell the story of the conflict between the Templars and the Vatican, Childress focuses on the greatest unsolved historical mystery regarding the Templars and proposes a solution. It is especially interesting to read this book in today's context, where issues about early Christian secrets, as debated in the fictional Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, the recent media attention given to the radical Catholic splinter sect Opus Dei, and even the election of the new Pope Benedict have brought issues about the influence of secret or mystery sects in the development of the Catholic religion to the forefront of international attention."

Abstract
This paper reviews two articles by Mack P. Holt and Philip Benedict that explore the causes and effects of a series of events occurring in the weeks after August the 23rd, 1572. Those events would become known as The Saint Bartholomew?s Day Massacre. The paper contends that there are different views on the reasons, responsibilities and consequences of this massacre, but one thing that can be agreed upon is that the massacre eventually claimed the lives of as many as 3000 French Protestants. The paper examines the two authors' similar yet different ideas.
From the Paper
"Both authors also confirm that most of the killing of Huguenots and Calvinists was carried out by civilians under mob mentality; often the mob consisted of assisted members of the militia. Holt and Benedict?s reasons for why the mob decided to kill the Protestants differ from each other. Holt believes that theological beliefs were the main cause. The Catholics felt the need to dehumanize the Huguenots, as they felt they were not worthy of human-status in the world- they must therefore be treated as animals. He uses one example, ?The rights of violence?, where ?many participants in the massacre saw themselves as carrying out clerical roles of priests and purifies and magisterial roles of judges and executioner.?2 He discusses how the mob dehumanized their victims and performed what he sees as catholic ?rights?, like the dumping of bodies into the river, which Holt interprets as the mob?s version of baptism2. Also the burning of the Protestant?s houses was believed to ?invoke additional purification?of all heretics.?2 Benedict however; believes that the mob was driven by the desire for revenge. He feels that the revenge was for the Protestant?s actions during the previous decade- during the civil wars of religion. The authors discuss how the massacre spread from Paris to other towns later on, sharing some of the same views and characteristics."
