Changes

1. I agree that the election of Senator Obama is similar to that of Andrew Jackson.  In fact, I had thought of that on my own too.  It seems that they both had a real, inspiring vision, not just a bullet list of policies.  Of course we’ll see if Sen. Obama delivers.  Also, I think that the change of power from a moderate conservative like Bush to a possibly radical liberal like Obama is similar to the “Revolution of 1800,” where two clearly conflicting ideologies faced off as well.

2. Like almost everything, there are good and bad elements to imperialism.  It’s good in that we might have modernized and brought our faith to relatively undeveloped countries, but it’s bad in that it was driven often by selfishness and also started wars with questionable motives.

3. I think the progressive movement is a good compromise between left-wing and right-wing, because the progressive movement is based on what really works for the people and not on blind ideology.

4. President McKinley, “with the eyes of the world upon him” (literally) is holding a Philippine native and contemplating whether to throw him off the cliff- to “Spain-” or not.  It may symbolize that America is contemplating doing the same thing it did to the Spain to the natives- that is, throwing them off the cliff, or out of the Philippines, and perhaps taking it over.
