American History Debates on the Important Issues
The first question asks specifically about the causes and consequences of the European Imperial conquest of America, beginning in the 16th century. It asks why the Europeans undertook this conquest, and then how the Europeans accomplished this conquest. Regarding the latter, the possible answers are disease, guns, or alliances with various Indians. Please address these possible answers as we discussed them in class. Which answer is best supported by the evidence? We also ask about the consequences of such European Imperialism, and whether that ultimately benefitted the European Imperialists. We answer that by examining the legacy of the Spanish conquest of Latin America, as well as by comparing the 2 kinds of English colonies in North America. One kind of conquered land from Indians and the other bought it. Which benefitted the English more, ultimately? And, as always, why?

The second question asks about the causes and consequences of slavery in colonial America. It asks who was enslaved, and why? The possible answers are racism and/or greed. Are those 2 motives possibly in contradiction with each other? Please address the discussion we had in class about this. Why were different racial groups involuntarily forced to labor in America? How and why did European Imperialists decide which racial group would be most profitably enslaved? In analyzing who was enslaved, please define the concept of slavery, even as it may have gone by different names. We also want to know about the consequences of enslavement, and whether that form of labor, as opposed to its opposite, free labor, ultimately benefitted more the ruling classes. As stated, the purpose of this question is to ask whether the purpose of imperialism was vindicated by its consequences, not only to its victims but also to its perpetrators.

Third, What are the causes and consequences of the American Revolution, or Revolutions, from 1754 to 1800? Did Americans, over those decades, alternately support policies of Imperialism and its opposite, republicanism? If so, why? And what were the consequences of each choice? Were those consequences successful, or not? Why did some Americans support, and some oppose, the French and Indian War? What or who caused that war, ie, which side was guilty of aggression? Why did opposition to that war increase after it?
Fourth, Why was the French and Indian War ultimately the cause of the American Revolution that broke out in 1775? What were the consequences of that Revolution by the time of the battle of Saratoga? Did the Revolution change character after that? What and where was the focus of the American war after Saratoga, and how successful was it compared to beforehand?

What were the causes and consequences of Shays Rebellion and the Whisky Rebellion, and how significant were they? How successful was the presidency of John Adams and what were the circumstances of the debate then between the Federalists and the Republicans? What were the causes and consequences of the Revolution of 1800 and the War of 1812?
