Telling & Circulating History on Stampssheilabrennan
Through its commemorative stamp program, the US Post Office Department printed and circulated historical narratives on stamp. Citizens and stamp collectors noticed these images and scenes represented and wanted their heroes and regional anniversaries honored with a commemorative, because it represented a federally-sanctioned narrative.

The History of Reconstruction
Background:
Many Americans like to imagine the history of their nation as one of continual progress. While acknowledging that not all persons and groups enjoyed equal rights at all times, Americans often take it for granted that American history moves in only one direction: toward greater rights, greater freedom, and greater equality. This perspective makes it difficult for many Americans to understand the Reconstruction period and to place it in a broader historical narrative. The problem they face is that African Americans from roughly 1867 to 1875 enjoyed far more political influence and equal rights than they ever had before, or ever would again until the end of the modern Civil Rights Movement almost a century later. The fact that a group could be stripped of rights it once enjoyed is difficult for many Americans to accept, and so they often retreat into a false narrative, in which African Americans never gained any rights at all, and were abandoned to their fate as soon as slavery ended. In this model, the infamous Black Codes—which were in effect for less than a year—take center stage, and the various gains of Reconstruction get ignored.

Novels, poetry and plays are valuable sources of evidence and ideas about society. Here, we take three novels as starting points, and suggest possibilities for further research, showing how works of fiction can be used alongside archives, pamphlets, journals and other traditional research materials held by LSE Library, to develop and enhance our understanding of the world.

The purpose of the 3 Wiki assignments is to familiarize you with a "new" methodology of studying history ("new" because this is my own creation). In my lifetime of studying the past, I have seen certain reoccurring "themes” that help us understand the course of human events in this discipline we call history. I have also provided here the list of historical themes. The general objective of the Wiki is to summarize an aspect of history studied during the grading period THROUGH the lens of a theme found in my list of themes. Example, if you wanted to write about Alexander the Great, you then choose to summarize the history of him through a theme, such as Power of Personality, where you might discuss his military leadership as conqueror of the world. OR you could talk about him through the theme of Pivot Points in History and talk about how he ushered in the Hellenistic Era and changed the political and cultural face of the world. Those are examples. You will choose 3 separate themes and write about 3 separate episodes from any of the history study during the grading period through the themes you choose. Look at the sample Wiki and see how they have formatted their 3 sections of the essay. For each theme you discuss, you need to quote your textbook OR an outside secondary scholarly source of your choosing once and ONE primary document found either in your ebook or from an outside source. (See further details about your sources below). Use a different primary document for each theme and history you write on. You must include a properly formatted Works Cited. These Wikis will help you learn to see history in terms of these themes. Some of these themes are quite self-explanatory and some are not. There are 20 historical themes and 3 Wiki assignments you are expected to complete in the semester - therefore there are NO REPEATS of themes in your Wiki posts. You will use a total of 9 different themes in the semester from the 3 Wiki Assignments.
For each Wiki Assignment, I want you to write a minimum 750-word entry (CONTENT ONLY - Works Cited DOES NOT count towards minimum word count) about 3 historical themes that you can extrapolate from the subjects we have studied in that grading period in which the Wiki is assigned. EACH ENTRY PARAGRAPH WRITTEN ON A THEME MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 250 WORDS. So the math here is easy = 3 different theme discussions of 250 word minimum each yields a total minimum word count of 750 words AND 3 separate themes X 3 Wikis Assignments = 9 historical themes used in the semester. I expect to see original analysis, interpretation and rhetorical content.
REGARDING YOUR SOURCES FOR THESE WIKIS.
You are required to quote your textbook twice AND ONE OTHER outside scholarly secondary source once in each Wiki Assignment to support your analysis. You are also required to quote TWO of the primary documents from the Mindtap site for the textbook AND ONE OTHER primary source document of your choosing from an outside source to supp ...

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
