We had originated from Britain and the French had helped us in our war, therefore if we borrowed from one country, the other would catch on and turn on us. The government couldn’t tax its citizens, for taxation had always backfired in the past. Because of these money issues, John Adams decided not to join the war. Another reason why Adams didn’t join the war was due to the nation’s confusion as to which side to defend. America was already divided into two supporting groups; .....

Groton as well as Harvard would pave the way for the future of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was 1932, when Roosevelt, would acquire the renowned title of President of the United States by winning the election.

I believe that such rulers today are not tolerated (and should not be tolerated) There is no room for thi .....

This was a antithesis of that principle. Jefferson knew that the acquisition of the Loisiana territory was beneficial to the welfare of the U.S. According to the constitution, nowhere in the constitution is the acquisiti .....
