Defend or refute the following statement by presidential adviser and historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.: "In the end [counterinsurgency proved] a ghastly illusion. Its primary consequence was to keep alive the American belief in their capacity and right to intervene in foreign lands."
On Jun 18, 2024
The statement by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. can be both defended and refuted.
On one hand, it can be defended by pointing out that the United States' involvement in counterinsurgency efforts in foreign lands, such as Vietnam and Iraq, did not ultimately achieve their intended goals of stabilizing those regions or promoting democracy. Instead, these interventions often led to prolonged conflicts, loss of life, and instability. This can be seen as a ghastly illusion in the sense that the initial belief in the effectiveness of counterinsurgency was not borne out by the actual outcomes.
On the other hand, it can be refuted by arguing that the intention behind counterinsurgency efforts was not solely to maintain American belief in their capacity and right to intervene in foreign lands. Rather, it was often framed as a means to combat terrorism, promote stability, and support local governance. In some cases, counterinsurgency efforts did have some success in achieving these goals, albeit with significant challenges and limitations.
In conclusion, while there are valid points to both defend and refute Schlesinger's statement, it is important to consider the complexities and nuances of counterinsurgency efforts and their impact on American foreign policy.

Trace the women's suffrage movement in the years following the Civil War. How successful was the movement by 1900?
On May 09, 2024
The women's suffrage movement in the years following the Civil War saw significant progress and setbacks. After the Civil War, the 15th Amendment was passed in 1870, granting African American men the right to vote, but it did not extend the same rights to women. This led to the formation of various women's suffrage organizations, such as the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association, which worked tirelessly to advocate for women's right to vote.
By 1900, the women's suffrage movement had made significant strides, but it was not yet successful in achieving its ultimate goal. Several states had granted women the right to vote in local and school elections, and women had also gained the right to vote in some western states. However, the movement still faced strong opposition from anti-suffrage groups and politicians who believed that women should not have the right to vote.
Overall, the women's suffrage movement by 1900 had made progress, but it was not yet successful in achieving national suffrage for women. It would take several more decades of activism and advocacy before the 19th Amendment was finally passed in 1920, granting women the right to vote nationwide.

In the Declaration of Independence, what justification did Thomas Jefferson provide as the basis for breaking with Britain?
A) "There is something absurd in supposing a Continent to be perpetually governed by an island."

D) The "heritage of a freeborn Englishman" provided each colonist with the political right to seek democratic representation so long as they were British themselves.
