Such an approach to four subjects of study entitled, “peopling the nation,” “winning the West,” “building the nation,” “coming of world power” might be as follows: a) The United States today is peopled by immigrants and descendants of immigrants from many different countries. b) The character and nationality of the people of the United States, their individualism and democratic ideals, their culture and their standard of living were shaped during the period of westward expansion across the continent. c) The United States today is a nation with a strong republican government that protects the interests of its people and serves them in numerous ways. d) The United States today is a world power and exercises great influence in international affairs.In United States history such subjects as: “amusements and sports”; “home life”; “intellectual life”; “travel, transportation, and communication”; “why we have English institutions”; “how we secured our National Government”; “how our National Government was tested”; “winning the West”; “how Negro slavery was destroyed”; “the coming of world power.” The subject, “The English Colonies in America,” would not have the possibility of unitary development for the title suggests a stage or period of the nation’s history which is to be covered rather than a movement to be understood.Before a unitary course in United States history is begun, the pupils may profitably read a short, straightforward narrative of our nation’s past such as Tappan, The Little Book of Our Country. This furnishes an interesting background for the study of the units which are to follow.

Friends of Humanity: A Quaker Anti-Slavery Influence

The humanitarianism of the eighteenth century gave added impulse to the members of the Society of Friends to practice the gospel of love for all mankind. Since at first “they were in derision called Quakers,” it is most likely that all of their interests were sneered at. Nevertheless, they influenced other denominations by their anti-slavery appeals and popularized the idea of a “society” for humanitarian purposes as they gave full meaning to the words friends and humanity. The English Quakers were called “Friends of Thieves” because they worked for prison reform in London, and the American Quakers appear to be the first persons who were known as “Friends of Humanity” primarily because they opposed Negro slavery vehemently.

Some Significant Factors in American Church History

American religious history has been largely the work of amateurs and neglected by the trained historians. But it is only common sense which suggests that the total life of the nation cannot be adequately or truthfully portrayed unless the religious forces are given their due of recognition. This paper points out four significant factors in American church history. The first is that the colonial churches were established by religious radicals. On coming to America the colonists left behind them the restraining influences of high civil and church officials, and thus America became a fruitful field for religious experiment. Numerous sects, each contending for the right to live, were the result, and the natural outcome was religious liberty and the separation of church and state. A second factor is the parallels between American political and religious history, showing that the same general conditions determined the trend in both church and nation. Another factor is that of the frontier, which developed a distinct type of revivalism and such institutions as the camp-meeting and the small denominational college, and supplied that appeal to the heroic which has been the driving force of much of the missionary enterprise. The last factor noticed is that of negro slavery, which was responsible for the largest and most significant schisms and for the creating of other conditions distinctively peculiar to America.
