The Whiskey Rebellion : An 8 page research paper
that gives
an overall view of the Whiskey Rebellion that occurred in the
counties of Pennsylvania and Virginia that are west of the
Allegheny Mountains in 1794. The rebellion developed due to
opposition to a federal excise tax on spirits that was enacted
in 1791 according to a plan devised by Secretary of the
Treasury Alexander Hamilton wherein the states would
assume their own debts. Washington eventually called out the
militia and the rebels dispersed; however, the incident
illustrated the power of the new federal government and the
US presidency. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Whiskrebl.wps The Scandals of U.S. Presidents / Focus Upon Ulysses S.

Abandoning The Freed Men - Civil Rights In The Late 19th
Century : A 6 page research paper which discusses the
Compromise of 1877. There was an incredibly close
Presidential election in which the Democratic candidate,
Tilden, won the popular vote, and the Republican candidate,
Rutherford Hayes, won the electoral college. This threw the
race into the House of Representatives to be decided. The
compromise which was worked out gave the election to the
Republicans in exchange for concessions which effectively
nullified the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and
condemned Blacks to a subordinate role to whites which
lasted till the time of the 1960s Civil Rights movement.
