 Woodrow Wilson first discusses industrialization in a positive tone. He praises the intelligence of the captains of industry and states how a great system of government has been built up. However, many downsides accompany it. It has led to a build-up of waste and lack of concern for nature. Humans lives have been lost and their safety is no longer the government's main concern, as it has become selfish. Wilson wants the people to pay attention to these issues instead of neglecting them. He calls for reform and change.

It's difficult to eliminate factions due to the fact that it's impossible to form everybody's passions into one singular mold. Each individual has differing ideas from the other and factions are the direct result of that. To remove factions, a restriction would have to be placed on the people's liberty, in a country based on freedom.  4.  If factions cannot be removed then how can they be controlled?

Blog #5: Republican Motherhood

1.        What role did the Revolutionary War play in the transformation of housewifery to Republican Motherhood? The Revolutionary War transformed the perspective of men held towards women.

Educated women also became more acceptable, for the ability to read, write, and recognize geography was encouraged, as shown in Document B. 2.      What were the consequences of Republican Motherhood on women?

Document C states, "The solidity and stability of the liberties of your country rests with you", placing women in charge of America's future. If their sons turn out well-...
