13.7 Discussion Board Causes of Civil War

Cause of the Civil War

For this discussion board I want you to review the readings, powerpoints and lecture notes, videos and primary sources for Module 13 on the causes of the Civil War.

Remember your initial response is due by Thursday at 11:59 PM. You also need to respond to at least two other students. The two student responses are due by Sunday at 11:59 PM. Your initial response must be a minimum of 250 words. Responses to fellow students must be a minimum of 100 words.

For this discussion board you are to write a response on the causes of the Civil War. We all know the primary cause and all other causes go back directly to the institution of slavery. That said, there are many caveats to the issue of slavery, be it economic, political, social etc. For this discussion board you are to submit ONE (1) of the following questions with an answer:

1. Do you agree or disagree with any of the state declarations, ie, keep in mind our current issues with states rights and fundamental arguments on states rights and federalism. Do you think the arguments presented by the states in the 3 readings presented make any sense or do you find yourself agreeing with any? (Again, I know this is controversial because of the issue of slavery but rather look at the base argument the declarations are presenting.
2. After reading the primary sources, Harriet Beecher Stowe; Charlotte Forten; and Margaret Mason and Lydia Maria Child; how do you feel tensions were building in the United States, not only from the large political issues but from the average person. What sense do you feel the various people have in their perspectives? Does it sound like the current political environment in the US and the political divisions?

Example 1

When reading the declarations given by the states I have to say that they do, in the end, make sense. The states are mainly succeeding on the basis that its their right to as well as their own power. The pro slave states wanted to leave for various reasons on top of their constitutional right. One of those reason was obviously to keep slavery legal, but the point that surprised me is that they believe it would only be in favor of following the founding fathers and their ideology. Following the founding fathers to them meant leaving or succeeding from the countries they disagree with, and even that their original succession from the British crown initially gave each state their own control and power and that having to follow the federal government regardless is unconstitutional. Georgia was the only anti slavery state that declared succession in our readings and their declaration was more that they wanted to be able to dictate their new beginning themselves and to fully govern themselves. After looking at these readings I sadly have to say I agree with their notions somewhat. The main thing I agree with is that they did in fact have the legal right to succeed and shouldve. All three states were purely looking out for their own interests. They all had their own interest from the beginning, such as : Georgia worried over how it was going to continue in defiance of pro slave states, Mississippi was worried about how the emancipation would crush the agricultural economy leaving them economically vulnerable, and finally South Carolina wanted to leave because they also sided that agriculture would tank due to anti slavery and that it didnt make the situation any better. Therefore, in my opinion they shouldve been able to succeed regardless of the backwards ideas that they are faulted with.

Example 2

After reading the primary sources I realized that media played an active role in taking issue of slavery from politicians to average people. Various authors and activists mentioned here used their work to take issue of slavery and expansion to common people and ignited a debate among common people related to slavery. One consequence of generalization of slavery issues is that politicians felt pressure to act, and they could no longer afford to ignore the issue. These authors ensured that issue of slavery became a topic of political debate at large platforms. This way all these authors contributed to bringing political issues to public. The same thing can be evident at present when media is bringing current issues to public. Many current issues like immigration, discrimination, and Affirmative actions are no longer a matter limited to politicians only, and general public is also very much aware about them and participate in debates related to that issues. In creating this awareness among people, media played a vital role by focusing on these issues. But one negative impact of this is now public is deeply divided over certain sensitive issues like immigration. Different opinions are welcomes in democracy, but sometimes deep division among public may lead to adverse consequences like violence towards minorities and uncontrolled protests. So, media has responsibility to create awareness about these issues, but in a sensitive and responsible way by ensuring that there is no false narrative which may mislead public and encourage them to do something wrong.

Example 3

2. After reading the primary sources, Harriet Beecher Stowe; Charlotte Forten; and Margaret Mason and Lydia Maria Child; how do you feel tensions were building in the United States, not only from the large political issues but from the average person. What sense do you feel the various people have in their perspectives? Does it sound like the current political environment in the US and the political divisions?

During the civil war tensions in the United States were obviously building. They were building not only through politics, but also within the people through their thoughts and emotions. The primary sources show how divided country had become within its very own people. Harriet Beecher Stowes writing highlights the cruelty of slavery and appeals to the readers sense of morality. This source shows how many people in the North began to see slavery as a serious injustice rather than just a political issue. This emotional appeal helped strengthen abolitionist beliefs and increased the tension between regions. But on the other hand, Margaret Masons letter shows how many people in the South defended slavery. She argues that enslaved people were better off than some workers in the North. This reveals how deeply rooted and normalized slavery had become in Southern society. This perspective shows that many Southerners did not view slavery as wrong, but instead as necessary to their way of life and economy. Lydia Maria Childs response pushes back strongly against this idea, showing how moral arguments were directly clashing between individuals, not just governments. Charlotte Fortens writing adds more to this argument by focusing on the experiences of formerly enslaved people and the ongoing struggles they faced. These sources show that the country was divided in beliefs, values, and emotions, not just laws. They dive deeper into how many people’s beliefs were deeper rooted than we could ever have imagined. What was right and wrong was not simply determined by laws, but by what the people believed to be true.

Slave Letters Analysis

For this assignment you are to use the methodological framework in 11.5 “How to Analyze a Primary Source” to examine the primary source documents you just read. Specifically, you are to do the following:

1. Select one of the correspondences (Letters) and oneof the narratives and memoirs.
2. Use the framework for analyzing primary sources on letters to break down the two you selected.
3. Make sure to answer all parts to the analysis, which is listed again below, 12 points in all:
   1. Answer the following questions as you begin to analyze the sources:
      1. Look at the physical nature of your source. This is particularly important and powerful if you are dealing with an original source (i.e., an actual old letter, rather than a transcribed and published version of the same letter). What can you learn from the form of the source? (Was it written on fancy paper in elegant handwriting, or on scrap-paper, scribbled in pencil?) What does this tell you?
      2. Think about the purpose of the source. What was the authors message or argument? What was he/she trying to get across? Is the message explicit, or are there implicit messages as well?
      3. How does the author try to get the message across? What methods does he/she use?
      4. What do you know about the author? Race, sex, class, occupation, religion, age, region, political beliefs? Does any of this matter? How?
      5. Who constituted the intended audience? Was this source meant for one persons eyes, or for the public? How does that affect the source?
      6. What can a careful reading of the text (even if it is an object) tell you? How does the language work? What are the important metaphors or symbols? What can the authors choice of words tell you? What about the silences what does the author choose NOT to talk about?

      Now you can evaluate the source as historical evidence.

      1. Is it prescriptive telling you what people thought should happen or descriptive telling you what people thought did happen?
      2. Does it describe ideology and/or behavior?
      3. Does it tell you about the beliefs/actions of the elite, or of ordinary people? From whose perspective?
      4. What historical questions can you answer using this source? What are the benefits of using this kind of source?
      5. What questions can this source NOT help you answer? What are the limitations of this type of source?
      6. If we have read other historians interpretations of this source or sources like this one, how does your analysis fit with theirs? In your opinion, does this source support or challenge their argument?

      11.5 Analyzing Primary Source Documents (Read)

      Primary Source Analysis Methodology

      A very important aspect to history is the ability to examine primary source documents. In order to examine primary sources, we need to establish some sort of methodological framework for analyzing primary sources. In this case we will look at letters. The following is an excerpt taken from the Carleton College Department of History, you can find the website here:

      How to Analyze a Primary Source

      When you analyze a primary source, you are undertaking the most important job of the historian. There is no better way to understand events in the past than by examining the sources whether journals, newspaper articles, letters, court case records, novels, artworks, music or autobiographies that people from that period left behind.Each historian, including you, will approach a source with a different set of experiences and skills, and will therefore interpret the document differently. Remember that there is no one right interpretation. However, if you do not do a careful and thorough job, you might arrive at a wrong interpretation.In order to analyze a primary source you need information about two things: the document itself, and the era from which it comes. You can base your information about the time period on the readings you do in class and on lectures. On your own you need to think about the document itself. The following questions may be helpful to you as you begin to analyze the sources:

      1. Look at the physical nature of your source. This is particularly important and powerful if you are dealing with an original source (i.e., an actual old letter, rather than a transcribed and published version of the same letter). What can you learn from the form of the source? (Was it written on fancy paper in elegant handwriting, or on scrap-paper, scribbled in pencil?) What does this tell you?

      3. How does the author try to get the message across? What methods does he/she use?
      4. What do you know about the author? Race, sex, class, occupation, religion, age, region, political beliefs? Does any of this matter? How?
      5. Who constituted the intended audience? Was this source meant for one persons eyes, or for the public? How does that affect the source?
      6. What can a careful reading of the text (even if it is an object) tell you? How does the language work? What are the important metaphors or symbols? What can the authors choice of words tell you? What about the silences what does the author choose NOT to talk about?

      2. Does it describe ideology and/or behavior?
      3. Does it tell you about the beliefs/actions of the elite, or of ordinary people? From whose perspective?

      6. If we have read other historians interpretations of this source or sources like this one, how does your analysis fit with theirs? In your opinion, does this source support or challenge their argument?

      Remember, you cannot address each and every one of these questions in your presentation or in your paper, and I wouldnt want you to. You need to be selective.

HCA 4307-19.02.01-4A26-S1, Health Care Quality Management

Unit VII Project

The Required Unit Resources for this unit examined how a growing population that is living longer and requiring more healthcare services than ever before will contribute to many challenges in the future of health care. The readings highlighted that while an ongoing issue, emergency department (ED) overcrowding and quality of service is certain to continue to worsen as a result without innovation and quality initiatives.

For this project, you will synthesize many concepts covered in this course to analyze this problem and outline a quality improvement initiative that can create positive change.

Problem: This in the District of Columbia ranks as one of the worst in the entire nation for ED timely and effective care.

Goal: Create a systems-wide approach to substantially improve aspects of ED operation and care that will dramatically improve wait times to be seen, wait times until admission, and reduction of left-without-being-seen rates to meet or register below national averages.

You will need to perform any additional research on this hospital that is needed to support your project. Note: As you research this hospital, you will find it is ranked highly in other areas and specialties, even having received The Joint Commissions Gold Seal of Approval. Researching this hospitals initiatives that led to this may be helpful.

Your project should reflect theories discussed in this course (e.g., lean, Six Sigma) and must utilize the Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDCA) approach. It must include the following:

• a brief summary of the problem, to include data supporting the need for change;
• a quality improvement initiative proposal, to include specific desired outcomes;
• suggested implementation strategies that will be most effective to achieve quality improvement;
• social marketing approaches to ensure widest awareness and participation in the initiative;
• a measurement plan, to include the tools that will be most effective to measure change, and how ongoing performance will be monitored to prevent regression and loss of the positive change that has taken place,
• an analysis of the roles leadership, staff, and patients will play in the improvement initiative; and
• a summary of the benefits and long term effects if the desired outcomes are achieved.
• include a detailed analysis of the historical impact of quality management goals within the healthcare industry.
• determine the connections between managed care processes and how these assist with the goals of a health care organization.
• interpret the major role a healthcare accreditation organization plays in the U.S., and include at least one example of an accreditor.

Your project will be a minimum of four pages, not counting any title or reference pages. You must use at least four scholarly sources to support your project. These sources do not include any hospital statistical or data sources that you utilize.

All sources used must be properly cited. Adhere to APA Style when creating all citations and references for this assignment.
